WDTN 2 News 4+

Hello, about 2 weeks ago I started having issues accessing the news app. Every time it comes up when I click on a news story, it is wanting me to choose selections for receiving Breaking News, Local News, Weather, etc. I cannot get past this setup. I have deleted and reinstalled the app hoping that would alleviate the problem but it didn’t. I tried calling but there does not appear to be a dedicated phone number for technical support. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

This ap is filled with cheesy and misleading ads for miracle cures, etc. Not what I want in a news ad. Also, audio automatically plays when you click on a news story—even when you turn your sound off. Volume must be on lowest level and sound off. Competing news channel app much better.

As described in other reviews, the interface isn’t nearly as slick and intuitive as it could be. But the big problem, in my view, is with push notifications. Just because you *can* send your users a news alert doesn’t mean you *should*. I appreciate the occasional alert related to a specific local traffic or weather event or to a significant breaking news story. But please don’t use push notifications to remind me to watch your impending newscast, or to tease some inane story, or to announce that Jeopardy is starting a half-hour early to accommodate special Olympics coverage. It’s obnoxious, and each extraneous alert brings me a little closer to deleting the app. Please exercise a little restraint.
