I've used this application for a few years to watch the morning news while I get ready for work. It was especially helpful during the Mediacom blackout, but recently, the live stream continually malfunctions. It's becoming unusable & I'll be uninstalling. Maybe it will be fixed in the future, but after several months of this, I've given up waiting.

The app doesn't allow me to live stream the new any longer. Very disappointed. Worked just fine 2 weeks ago and now for the last 2 weeks nothing. I hate having to watch Ch. 9 news because I don't much care for their news anchors and their weather is not very accurate. Wqad's anchors are great and their weather is more accurate for my location. My cable does not offer WQAD because we're right on the line for "coverage". Very disappointed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing.

Most of the time, when I try to launch a story from a notification, it won't load. I just get the background picture on the loading screen, and it freezes like that. If i want to read the article, I have to search for it.

I do NOT like the new WQAD app. I want a weather app, not a news app with all of the other hype that comes on the new app. The old app allowed me to pinpoint my resident location. This one does not. I'm going to search my play store for other weather apps and uninstall this one. Very disappointed that my preferred weather station app is not the one I will be able to use. 😣

Does not work. App stops before it even opens. It worked beautifully before and then it literally just stopped. Tried removing and reinstalling several times with no luck. Same phone, nothing has changed on my end. 12/10/21 App seems to be working a bit better lately. Edited
