8 of 25I didn’t lose any sleep during that time forward I lost an hour work.
What has happened to the red dot count. I check the app several times a day, but lately when one new story is published, the count displayed has hundreds or thousands displayed. It’s gotten very irritating. I just checked and the count was Zero. Saw a notification for one new story and the count said 11,033! Please fix this.
Really like the smooth live stream feature. Use this app a lot for the weather. Will a future update allow you to save a specific location for weather? In other words, when using Follow Me, be able to save that exact location and name it. Currently only able to save cities. Many people live out in the country, not close to a city.
Thank you for reporting on the challenges individuals are facing with SNAP benefits. I would appreciate if you all would not feed into stereotypes and showcase ALL ethnicities receiving government assistance not just African Americans. Thank you!
The time on the radar page no longer advances when you slide the bar towards the right to see the future storm movement. You can see the storm coming towards you, but the clock no longer advances to show the time of arrival at your location. Please fix!!!
Radar refreshes too fast which makes it impossible to track storms. The storm tracker is out of sync with the radar also.
Good app overall but the last few days the app shows thousands of notifications. Yesterday after a work day I had over 11K. Not sure what’s going on. My phone isn’t going off 11K times thank God.
Constant commercials. The content or information you’re looking for isn’t available or is embedded in a lengthy video. Alerts do not provide the specific information it claims you will receive: again, it’s embedded in a lengthy video. Useless “alert” app.
