The layout of information is easy to access and covers an assortment of news locally, regionally, and around the world. The major problem I have is when they send out news alerts and you click on the notification, it always takes you to watch the live news feed.... But there's never anything to watch. It simply says "We'll be right back". If you're sending out a notification, there should be something to read or watch immediately. This issue occurs even 6+ hours after the original notification.

I hate since the update there is no way to turn off the closed captions feature. I tap the icon to turn it off but it just keeps working. Please fix this because this is annoying trying to watch a video with words scrolling across the screen.

First, I hate that before I can read a news story that I'd just clicked on, I have to sit through an advertisement for a game that I have zero interest in. Second, the interface on this app is terrible, one of the worst I've ever encountered. I downloaded it because I'm a fan of the TV broadcast and have been for several years. It's my opinion that ANF does the best job of serving and reporting on the community of all the local news stations. You deserve a much better app.

local news is better than most but have it one star because it continues to send notifications even though notifications are turned off in settings. also the unwanted notification blocks phone opening unless I open the app(in locked phone mode) and cancel the app. clicking the "x" on the notification does nothing to make the app go away so I can unlock my phone. Finally had enough, pop ups on lock screen even though notifications are turned off, long game commercials you can't cancel app deleted

Convoluted. Ad heavy. If it's weather you want, just bookmark their web page. There, everything you need is immediately scrollable. In the app, the main weather page has a list of the earlier weather broadcasts. (?!) You have to navigate to the different sections, then click through what you want -- while sifting through SO many ads.

I was OK with this app until it was recently changed. I want to see the current temperature on the first page (top-right corner) and get to the summary by tapping the temp -- LIKE IT WAS ORIGINALLY DOING. Now, I have to navigate around (jump through hoops) to get there. It was doing fine until it was recently "improved".

Great reporting and weather. Just too many commercials in a row. Sometines feels like more time for commercials than news/weather coverage. I know you must cover costs and make a profit, but come on. Some of it is excess to greed.

I want to try a different source for news and weather. I'm trying to navigate and learn the app. I am bombarded with pop-up ads. I can see what I want for all the pop-ups. The weather I looked at had not been refreshed in almost 24 hours. :(

I have had this news app for years, it's been my favorite, after the update last week, I uninstalled it. Way to mess up a perfectly functional and user friendly app 👎 Its all over the place, ads bombard you. It's one hot mess. Ugh!

Horrible app - totally nonresponsive design for mobile. Ads cover data input when I tried to create profile. Was not able to create a profile and got no messaging to indicate why. Pinpoint crime only shows UGA Athens area stats but I am n ATL. (I allowed app to use location).

not able to see the Hawks Game at all , after you all broadcast that it would be on ANF . Now you got to jump thru hoops to chase it down , now you saying its on Peachtree Tv, still can't see it because if you don't have cable you can't see it. This is bad business. Thats a shame you can't see your own home team. this Sucks !!!!!!

I would rate it higher as they deliver news fast but the share button does NOT work at all no matter how many times I hit the buttom to share any news articles with others. Please fix so I can rate it higher next time again.

This app is not good. Its real laggy, and when you go to watch something, it force closes after the ad.

when I click on a notification I then have to watch an ad....and then get dumped to the main page where I have to try to find the update I was interested in. I don't find the efficient or helpful. I can see the info I want faster through Google. this app bogs down too much.

The app works pretty good, but notifications are outrageous. ANF has the problem, for that reason I'm dropping you. Getting notifications on minor news Updates is ridiculous. I had turned off most to slow down the count. Wise they understood, Breaking News.

I had to UNINSTALL this and their weather app because one or the other sends disturbing notices regardless of settings not to. OMG, the ads and freaking game installs before you can bring up the news are annoying.

The latest update is aweful! The previous one was easy to navigate and see what you need. This one is NOT user friendly at all. Whoever came up with this one needs to be demoted to janitor. :(

This app will not allow you to go full screen to watch a broadcast and it might be a good idea to place the watch live icon somewhere that is better visible. Took me almost 5 minutes to find it.
