The Mr. Hero ad that frequently covers the whole screen when I first open the app doesn't always load now, so I cant click off of it, so I just have to close the app and restart it in hopes the ad won't pop up again. The embedded image galleries never load. So for articles that include photos I never get to see the photos. I turned off all video functions because the ads would stop any music I was playing, and I have the app because I want to read the news, not watch videos about it.

Can't swipe between news stories, it redirects you to the main page. Reinstalled on a different phone 6 years later. When you click on an article, you can only read the first 2 paragraphs and have to click a "continue reading" button, which then causes the screen to freeze and go blank. Will uninstall again because they can't get it right. I'm disappointed because I like the channel 8 WJW news on the tv, but can't connect by app. Will have to switch to WOIO 19 because their app works!

Completely useless! When you click on a story, you get a white screen. No point in having this app. Update 12/25/2021. App freezing is annoying. When will you send an Update to fix this problem? Update 1/6/21.. no change or fix in months. Every story freezes, you have back out and go back in to finish a story or try to before it freezes again. The funny part is, Every newscast, Fox 8 keeps telling us how great the app is and why we should download it. But the reality is the app is trash.
