Great app, but the Widget is no longer working. It stopped working about 1 month ago. The Widget is what I refer to, most often, to view Updates on "Breaking News" (Local & National) , so it's been extremely aggravating that, it's stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, both the widget & the app numerous times, but the Widget still doesn't work. Please fix ASAP and I'll change my rating to 5 stars.
HORRIBLE! NEWS DOESN'T START ON TIME. WAY TOO MANY ADS. A JOKE. CBS BOSTONS APP IS SO MUCH BETTER AND NO ADS!
ad's and ad's and then more ad's..... and you can not stop them or turn the sound off on them. ENOUGH WITH THE AD'S!!!!!!!!Every single story would have at least one or more ad's forced at you....no thanks!!!! I will be removing this app and not returning due to this, goodbye WCVB great way to chase off loyal consumer that has been watching your channel for over twenty years.
Good news up to date news people have a wonderful out look and they like what they are doing
Forced to watch commercials . Does not allow you to search for what you are looking for . Very poorly designed . Don't download it , big waste of time and storage . Definitely will uninstall it
Kind of useless. I'll get a notification from them, but when I tap on the notification, I'm brought not to the item pertaining to the notification, but to their general area which is a mismash of news from hours ago to weeks ago.
The very last thing I want to see in the morning are the countless commercials that are repeatedly shown rather tha news. Instead of news on the go your app is commercials on the go.
why dont you live stream the current news like you used to? On the this app and newson app you got only news that starts at 6. You realize that news starts at 5 both Saturday and Sunday. So u end up cutting out about an hour of news. Which doesnt make sense. Please have someone at your station update the livestreaming please. Otherwise there is no point of me wasting storage space to keep downloading this app
Up to date alerts, highly recommended
Good source of local news...but much of the content is the same day after day. not a lot of sports. good weather reports.
I like it for local weather and news. But alot of the news is up there for months! I wish there was more time spent on updating it.
Alerts at all hours. Very distorted audio jingle with each alert. Another time, maybe.
The app works great , plus, now I get to see my favorite anchor again from Cincinnati. The news team was already great and now I can enjoy staying informed again. Best wishes to the crew there.
Channel 5 has always been my favorite news channel!
You've added more adds, and the videos seldom play, I have to share the link to an external web browser.
The content is great but the cast button is not working with my nest hub which is really frustrating. The app just hangs when I try to cast.
There really doesn't need to be an ad before every video. Really! And often the video behind the ad doesn't play.
Ads cut off news. Screen goes blank or freezes too much. Ok app if you really want to watch WCVB but it should be more reliable.
I use this mainly for the weather & interactive radar. News info is okay, but sports stories can be days behind...which is disappointing.
Great overall, but in 2021... EVERY. SINGLE. ANDROID. APP. DEVELOPER. MUST. INCLUDE. DARK. MODE. Late night news reading on this app scorches one's eyes out, even on the lowest screen brightness. If a dark mode is added, that would definitely be worth 5 stars.
A bit frustrating at times when you want to watch the news that you missed which is normally replayed on their NowCast option but it gets replaced with talk and sports shows on Sunday.
Annoying app. You cannot open this app without a video ad launching. Even if you just want to read an update. Deleting
I use this app daily for weather and news. The videos and narrative are the perfect quick update. Highly recommend!
The mobile app is just not working properly the commercials freeze and says something went wrong retry or close. Tired of reporting the problem and not getting a explanation or response
Can't stand that I can't stop push notifications. With every update this keeps happening. I'm uninstalling
I have always liked wcvb 5, BUT, this app on a firestick resets every ten minutes, so I wztch it and then when it resets I have to fast forward, and I get 5 minutes and it resets
Love the app but I have 2 requests add segments from On The Record and also add the Very Local Boston to the app so I don't have to go looking for it on other apps
