WNEM TV5 News Customer Insights

1. We have Paramount on Roku so we can atleast watch the news live.App game on for 30 seconds of commercial on live Channel 5 news then 5 minutes of silence at least I'm just burning up my data with no information on the screen it was running but not showing up saying this app is John especially if it shows me just the weather for a 30 second clip and then five minutes of blank I don't know what's wrong with this app but the screen doesn't auto rotate either so I can't put it in a holder it's very hard junk I'm deletingAfter the last update the article descriptions are cut off so you dont know what its fully about until you click on it.

2. Won't make the mistake of installing this a third time.Always enjoy the weekday newscast, morning, noon, evening and night! The entire cast is great! ALL of the meteorologists are very good, understandable and usually accurate! The weekend was once fantastic, but they are slipping somewhat in the news department!! Too many faces and newscasters being used!I dont usually do reviews but I am so beyond FRUSTRATED with the new update to the WNEM app! The 2 biggest frustrations are the fact that when I click on a news article to read it and then go back to continue looking it takes me all the way back to the top of the news feed forcing me to have to scroll down to get back to where I was in the list of news feeds.

3. Call me old fashion but i like to know exactly what the article im clicking on is about before having to click on it.I'm constantly getting notifications of breaking news but when I click nothing happens.

4. I also can not share individual news stories now when I select share on a story it sends the whole list of news feed! Argh!! Fix this plz!Amazing.

5. I mean, why would anyone need a news app to work when massive flooding is occurring.This app isn't very well made when you ask people for help to find somebody a lot of times you only show half the face so how are you supposed to identify anybody.

6. This has me using other news sources until i see the next update to see if this gets fixed.

7. If I go to the app, the breaking news isn't there, but the ads are! They need to find better tech support for this app.

8. Try to watch previous weather forecast and a few minutes into it the playback stops and says continue watching.

9. Now I can't do nothing, guess I will have to go elsewhere to get my news and weather.

10. I think that's an issue too that should be fixed or added to this app so when you're in a certain area you can still get weather alerts.So I deleted this app because its horrible.

11. Click continue watching and it goes to 33% buffering and there it stays.
