My biggest complaint is the amount of alerts sent. breaking news such as shootings, traffic accidents or severe weather, but Buckeyes are the official State candy, non stop on the OSU Buckeyes (granted their important). but these alerts are overkill. I have watched WSYX for many years. At one point today, I received eight alerts within an hour. Therefore, I am deleting the app, but will watch the noon and evening news. the anchors at both times are very good.

App is okay, but after recent update can't go full screen. There is no option to go full screen. Use to work just fine. If you want to use it to watch the news don't waste your time. It will frustrate you trying to get to full screen. You look for the icon to go full screen, turn phone or tablet to go full screen, close it open it, each time getting more adds. But you will not get full screen.

Excessive and useless notifications. There is no way to filter the types of notifications you get from the app, and even though they "promise not to send too many" the app still sends probably a dozen a day or more. Also if you do find one that interests you 9/10 times tapping the notification takes you to an unrelated article with the one you are interested in nowhere to be found.

What happened to the notification synopsis??? When I get a notification now, it's only one line and the link does not take me to that news story. The notification used to have a drop down arrow where you could at least read the whole sentence. This makes the app useless if you have to search all over it for the news story.

Worked decently, but the fact that we couldn't access live weather coverage during a tornado warning without watching ads first seems really dangerous. Those may be the only seconds you have to get service and take action, and seconds spent watching ads during a potential emergency is not helpful.

This app is too slow to open! Disgustingly slow!

Best app for local Columbus news. I've always watched channel 10, then 4 for local news, never even thinking about 6. Once I started tiring of channel 10's glitches and lack of refreshing, I decided to try 4 and 6's apps. This app is clean and always up to date. I'd much rather have this one for my local news.

So you all removed the DATE AND TIME from NEWS notifications.... AGAIN... You do realize that one of the MOST important pieces of news information is the date and time related to the story? It wouldn't be horrible if tapping the notification actually took you to the news story, but that very rarely occurs PLEASE FIX THIS

Have installed this app twice now and have been unable to get it to even open. Have never had this problem with any other app ... have had some lousy apps but never one that would not open at all.

Nov 15, 2022 UPDATE Alert links still don't, or very rarely work. News alert links rarely work, then cannot find news mentioned in alert. Very frustrating.

Nothing but problems after the most recent update. Whichever genius over there designed these changes needs to rethink their actions Application continues to get worse, the more you "fix" it, the worse it gets as of 12-14-22

Shows s headline to a story but that isn't what comes up when you touch screen. I sometimes get live info but I have to wait for commercial. I don't like that

I don't know what happened, but I went from being able to access the app to it just being a blank screen. Disappointing. P.S. I also have very good internet connections and still nothing.

The app was alot better the way it was, there's no need to make it more complicated and call it an upgrade,if anything it was downgraded. All the Sinclair apps are like this. Shame on the mess!🙄

Would rate this if your live feed actually worked. Used to love it to listen to the news when I couldn't be by a TV. Since March has only worked for 2 days. So now I'm not giving you a rating. Oh my bad to see this I have to give u a one. Good Lord at least it works

The app is fine, i just wish the idiots reporting the news weren't so one sided. Just more fake news that i will not support. Deleting the app and not watching on tv anymore.
