DC News Now Customer Insights

1. Keep up the good work!As of the last month, when attempting to use app, receive a banner stating that I am not connected to wi.fi (but I am), finally it will let me veiw sone of the news, but not all.

2. This is like a throwback app-- and that is not good... It glitches, is poorly designed, irritating to navigate, inconsistent to failed video playbacks constantly.

3. Mostly out of town news.App is ok but clunky and does not have a very intuitive design.

4. It has everything I am interested in such as the weather, news and local events.

5. Will there be an upgrade of this app in the future?What was originally a local/tri-state area news app is now a DC news app.

6. So, throwback in the sense that when apps did this, this one does this now-- trouble is, we're ten years into the game.

7. Same news for weeks with only an occasional new article.

8. Go back to the drawing board, this version is not practical, useful or functional.I love the WDVM app.

9. I really am disappointed because this used to be my go to apo for All my news in the DVM.

10. Not as useful as it used to beIll be on for 2 minutes, and everytime faithfully after 2 min it kicks me off the application.

11. A bonus are the fun things such as contests, web polls ect.
