1. But if I don't know when and what is showing it is really of no use to me.I really like being able to read news stories on the go, but half the time it is impossible to do so due to all the ads and pop ups you have! Just as I am starting to load and read the story, my screen goes white from all the ads and the story goes away and never comes back! I will back out and try to re read the story, and it does the same thing.
2. Other than that keep up the good work!I mainly care about live TV so I can catch the news or other shows when I want to.
3. Continually prompted to click on a link to view the live stream via the WGN website, making the app unnecesarry, and just taking up space on my phone.
4. What's the point of having a 'watch live' option in the app? Not at all an ideal streaming experience.One of the only apps I know of that you do not have to have a cable subscription for.
5. Pixel 3aFor at least the last week, news articles don't load past the first couple of paragraphs -- seems like where an ad would be is just blank white space.
6. I don't understand why I'm always pushed to open a browser window to view the live stream.
7. However, the full screen on the live stream so at best only half of my phone screen has an image the rest is all white.
8. The good news is that it does have live TV and it does work.
9. Like to keep up to date with news not just keep seeing the same thing over and over.The recently updated version now has a street and boundary overlay which is distracting and annoying.
10. And then when I open the browser and wait through the pop-up ad, and then the mandatory 1-2 other ads, there is no Chromecast icon, so I'm struck trying to watch it in a browser.
11. I know ads pay the bills, but when you can read a story, and heck ALL the ads go away due to overload, what's the point?The stream never loads or starts as it should.
