hard to find information seen on the news. does not have the latest news cast. they repeat the one from the previous day. app is slow. when it comes to weather it doesn't have the replay from the latest televised one but one they recorded in the morning with the meteorologist at the corner and the use all day. as fast as weather changes here in North Carolina I want to have the most up-to-date version. for an app that has "news" on its name it's not "new."

The app has become extremely frustrating to use in the last year. TechWire articles won't scroll properly: the screen lags badly which causes it to swipe to the next article, then when you return to the original you have to start at the top all over again, slowly scrolling to avoid swiping. Images also will not allow you to zoom in, which makes reading embedded weather maps or other images with small print impossible. Was this even tested before rolling out??

The app is great other than the TechWire articles. Not sure why the type of article could make any difference at all, but those articles are almost unreadable because anytime I try to scroll down to continue reading, the app scrolls left or right to the next article. It doesn't make sense why it would only be those articles, but in my experience, that's the case, or else I would think it's my phone. Update: being fixed, thanks! Otherwise, the current location in weather isn't working right now.

Chris - we've had a few other issues with Techwire that are related, so we found a larger-scale solution that will address them all. The downside is this will take longer to implement, but the upside is that it will provide a much longer-lasting stability. Thank you for your patience and patronage!
