WHIO APP

Installed the app today. Cant watch the news live. It will not download the news. The old app worked great. This is progress!

Fire your app person.

Terrible upgrade. Very hard to navigate and the functionally is lacking.

Forced upgrade poorly designed

Start by fixing just one thing: the tap target in the upper left corner for options or to go back is WAY too small (cant possibly abide by Apples interface guidelines). It takes several tries to tap juuuuust right to hit the target. App pretty much unusable as is. The new app foisted upon us is worse than the old app. If it aint broke, dont fix it! App navigation on iPad makes no sense (please use two columns). Obtrusive, misbehaving ads ruin reading experience. No distinction between articles and pictures from headlines, so you never know what youre going to get when you tap. Really a mess. Thanks!

Saddened

My app for the past few days will not open at all. It will show me the main picture that greets you.. And then thats all. A few times Ive wanted to watch the news with my iPad when it has been the only way, it doesnt work. Clicking on my app is much faster then going to the actual website and waiting for the video and its commercial to appear before I can finally watch the broadcast. Update: I can not watch the news at all from your app. Im deleting it, and will not recommend it to anyone.

Much better than it used to be

This layout is much better, only thing Im not sure onus should I be getting a sound on notifications? I have everything set but for this app I miss notifications all the time due to no sound, is that by design or am I missing something?

Disappointing

Annoying ads and very buggy app. Much lower quality that I would expect from WHIO. They need to fire the developer and get rid of the low-class ads!

Huge headlines increase scrolling

Why the switch to giant font for headlines? Fewer headlines can be shown on the screen (even on the largest phones), and it looks ridiculous on the iPad. You can adjust text size in the actual news articles, why not the headlines too?

Upgrade failure

Last upgrade has frozen mid upgrade and is now totally useless. Have had to load WDTN instead for local news.

Too Many Useless Notifications

You are sending too many useless notifications and abusing your privileges. I have decided to remove you from my iPhone in lieu of another local app.

Dont bother

This app used to be decent, now its a steaming pile of crap. Try any of Daytons other news apps, they actually let you scroll down to read the articles.

Still garbage.

Since the last update articles are no longer readable. A news app is worthless if you cant even scroll to read the articles. I was hopeful the latest update fixed the issue, but its the same thing over again. Garbage.
