Previous version better
By Texas summer girl (Pcmac user)
This new version of this app is harder to use. I have deleted the old version & downloaded the new version but it keeps popping up crap asking me to download the new version. There is an apparent flaw in your new version. I downloaded the old version when I got my phone earlier this year & no problems nor did it keep asking me to download it over & over. It knew I had already done that. Your new version apparently doesn’t recognize that I have downloaded it. I have followed(watched) this app since moving to Dallas area around 1973. I wish I had not downloaded the new app. I should have waited till y’all got the kinks out (like Apple’s iOS 13. I am waiting a while till Apple gets all the bugs & kinks out before I update to that messed up mess).
I wish I had waited before I downloaded this app’s new app & read reviews on it first. Between 1 & 10, I gave the old version a 10. I give the new version a score of 2. I don’t like the new version. ☹️

The best start to my day
By Sassette57 (Pcmac user)
Man, I watch every morning to see what my commute and the weather is going to be like. I laugh because my grandchildren will come in to watch the news when I’m in my bathroom getting ready. I have three little Gregs at the house.
I love the new app because I am able to watch on my phone while getting ready while my grand babies watch while sitting on my bed lol. The app also enables me to keep up with the latest and I can catch up on anything I missed the night before.
I can go on and on but I won’t... suffice it to say I love it whoop whoop!🙌😄❤️

Please fix the app!
By Crafty 45 (Pcmac user)
I’m really shocked that in a market the size of Dallas and station as popular as this app this app has not been fixed in the last few weeks. Especially after last nights terrible weather situation, the radars were barely accessible and were 15 or 20 minutes behind, and just getting into the app you have to stare at the welcome screen for 15 seconds. We didn’t have 15 seconds last night there were tornadoes on the ground. Cut the welcome screen down to 2 to 3 seconds and bring back the old radars. Then cut out some of the repetitive advertising. Give it some type of flow. Stop padding your reviews with five star reviews singing the glowing praises of the newscast. Ethically you should probably be deleting the reviews that have nothing to do with the functionality of this app. At this point it is at best a one star app.

Even these reviews are mostly ads!
By Lmundy1 (Pcmac user)
There are two types of reviews in this section. There are glowing five-star reviews about how great this app’s on-air news program is, which is true - best in D/FW. Then there are one- and two-star reviews about how horrible this redesigned app is, which is also true. Filter out the glowing praise for the live-tv news program, and you’ll see that the consensus is that the new app is simply news text from the teleprompter interspersed every few lines with three flashy horizontally-arrayed ads for toenail fungus cures, bad restaurants - you name it, it’s there with big color graphics. At least when I’m watching the news on live tv, I can make a quick restroom trip when the commercials start running. My #1 local news source is no longer my #1 online local news source.
