Crashes too much

MakinTrax83

This is the worst news app in the Toledo area.


Terrible App Compatibility and Crashes With iOS 10.2

Greedo184

Upgraded to IOS 10.2 and this app no longer works, sends notifications, when I click on them it crashes immediately while loading, completely useless now, maybe try updating it?

What is the deal with the closed captioning covering the broadcast? ???

They have it tweaked to always get severe weather information,I have it set for county specific. This makes sense because storms generally move southwest to northeast.So I simply have the notification alert for the 2-3 counties southwest of us.


Different data

Judy/MEB

I have both the 13 ABC and the Live Doppler 13000, but can't understand why the weather data is different on both apps covering the same timeframe which are coming from the same source.


Not a very informative app

GWhizG

There are about as many commercials and advertisements as there are news stories! The web page layout is cumbersome, too.


Disappointing

By HIS Grace 111

There are WAAAAY to many advertisements. Recently, I can't even get the news to come up. Did I mention waaaaay to many advertisements??


Where is the story?

Stchrbeth

I get a notification, then I tap it to read and it's nowhere in the page. I get the first sentence or so then nothing.


ADS, ADS, ADS!!!

I usually watch this in the morning after the alarm goes off; during normal commercial breaks, the same stupid bumpers, fillers, and station promos are shown over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again! (The one promo about 13abc Good Morning, with the bedraggled-looking couple I've named "Rumpled Raincoats," where the guy is wearing a polo shirt about eight sizes too big, is especially annoying, especially when it is shown three times in succession!!) According to the news producer, normal commercials aren't authorized for online consumption! If we log in with a Buckeye or Spectrum subscription, does that change?! (I'd throw you folks a couple bucks a year to be rid of the ProMedica junk, and to simply have a "Commercial Braeak--Programming will return shortly" message, instead of the piffle you show online now!) To access the live broadcast, you have to sit through an ad, which vary between Directions Credit Union, and various ProMedica ads. Annoyingly, some of the ProMedica ads take up to a *** minute *** to load, after which, you've likely missed Ross' or Jay's weather forecast!! At least, until iOS 11, I could navigate away from the app in order to avoid have to see Mr & Mrs. Rumpled Raincoat five times between the first news segment and the second segment with the weather! Now, after iOS11, when I come back to the app and hit the Play icon, the network activity icon disappears after a couple seconds, and the only way to get it back is to return to the menu screen, and go back into the broadcast--maybe you'll get the Directions Credit Union ad which loads in ten seconds, maybe you'll wait a minute or more to be regaled about the benefits of some stupid Call-A-Doc from the Green House of Oostra! Either way, you're going to miss the weather, and sports, and perhaps the entire newscast as well, while waiting for the stupid ads to load! Fix this thing so that one can go between the live broadcast and other apps, and not have to either stay in the app and watch those stupid, lame, insipid promos, fillers, bumpers (and Mr. Rumpled Raincoat at the end of that promo cocking his finger in his belt loop with five inches of sleeve hanging below his elbow, looking about as cool as month-old bread--or a bucket of fecal material) in order to avoid having to watch yet anotherr Oostra ad, or figure out how to get those ads loaded in a couple of seconds, instead of a minute or more, by which time, most rational people will have moved on from this CRapp to your competitors!


Commercials

The problem listed above the Re removing them is not fixed. I finally temporarily deleted ap because could not remove ad from screen. Today news items are covered by ads.
