8 of 25The recent app update now forces you to watch or close the every time I open the app, that’s really annoying and I switched to ABC7 News app instead.
Please fix asap
The app will download and install on my Apple TV, but all it does is put up a screen declaring Apple TV is no longer supported. You can purchase a Roku, or pay for Peacock. Or, in my case, Bye Bye NBC!
Noticed no recent reviews but lately I am getting hundreds (500+)notifications daily. What’s up with that? It’s really annoying
The local news provided here is timely and informative, but what’s with the clickbait “articles” following the actual articles? This is a news app! The stories following the news articles should be other news and information, not internet trash. If you need revenue, go with ads from reputable companies. Using clickbait makes the whole thing seem shady and unreliable. Weather is often inaccurate for Mill Valley area.
I don’t know why they thought of not being compatible with Apple TV! Every morning and evening I always watch my news on there, because of how simple it is to use the app and get my daily information, super sad. I really hope this gets fixed soon. In the meanwhile I’ll see what other app to use to watch it on.
The title says it all. Every article I click on starts with an ad that you have to press “x” to get out of. The layout is also strange. I shouldn’t have to scroll past several old articles to find newer ones. Also, this news is late by hours and days and sometimes doesn’t even mention important current events, while at the same time keeping old news up for weeks. Overall, I’m disappointed and will probably be deleting.
I am blown away how much their news team programs hypes this app and it is just horrible. Such a surprise for a quality news broadcast team. Their investigative reporters should examine why this terrible app made it into the app store. Landscape video issues and the inability to even play video in background it’s very poor. Everywhere you look in the app is riddled with strange design decision and just buggy behavior. They should pull it. It's embarrassing for a local Silicon Valley broadcaster to have an app like this.
