1. Great source for news & weather! I've had this app for a while including on other phones, but since I switched over to this phone about a month ago I haven't been able to receive notifications from WCVB Channel 5.

2. Please fix ASAP and I'll change my rating to 5 stars.when i customize my weather to alert of lighting or thunderstorms it wont let me the message i get something went wrong try again later very annoyingGreat app but I keep turning off push notifications and they keep getting turned back on somehow.I would like the option to select my local weather.

3. 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.

4. Wether world news or local... ...including breaking news & weather (along with any breaking news alerts, with news categories that I was allowed to choose).

5. I like this app, as I don't have to always watch the news and you can read the news instead of watching it.Great app, but the Widget is no longer working.

6. C'mon people!While watching live or On-Demand news can't remove controls like before by tapping on screen.

7. Excellent app & excellent news anchors... 💯☝️👍Not so great.

8. The controls go away during commercials but reappear when watching the news.

9. If I choose another location app gives weather for that location, then switches back to Boston.

10. I've looked at the app settings & notifications etc on my phone but I'm not seeing anything that is blocking the phone from allowing notifications & other things to come through.

11. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, both the widget & the app numerous times, but the Widget still doesn't work.
