Abrupt Need to Reload
I have had this app for a long time, BUT I really wish they would do something to fix to no warning stop in broadcasting. It’s not timed to a commercial break, just smack in the middle of the weather, or sports, or regular newscast. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked for updates, and (sigh) downloaded competitors apps so I can watch a full news broadcast uninterrupted, but the problem still exists. WNYT is my favorite, PLEASE fix your app!!!!

Impressively Disappointing
The short and uninformative articles are not updated frequently enough, particularly on the weekends. They aren’t spell or grammar checked, though they always take the time to boast about how all 4 sentences of the article were “posted here first”. The radar only works when the skies are clear, and goes completely blank anytime there is any precipitation, which I suppose is at least predictable enough to tell me if I need to close the windows. The app freezes all of the time because it’s so bogged down with ads and it needs to load those first. Today, a school day at 8am, they are still showing the live weather forecast from 22 hours ago.

Great to outstanding
You can even watch it from New York City through the App. Never been to Albany but enjoy seeing the local events and news throughout the capital region. Sister station WNBC rarely reports about the state capital and I do not like to see Albany far apart from the New York Metropolitan Region.

Take it from good to great
I love the features of this app, but it needs some improvements in the streaming video portion. If you want to minimize the screen to multitask, the video stops playing in most cases and the screen goes black. Clicking on it to make it larger again and play does not work so you have to go through the whole process of turning it on again, including listening to the ads (which are too repetitive) again. Also, it is not mirroring properly with appleTV.

Seem to loose my connection on a regular basis when watching live and have to re-start. Do not have that problem with other local stations.

Depending on This

Ads
The ad at beginning of news is off putting after receiving an alert of interest. Then the ad for videos instantly after continues a sense of disconnect with what viewer wants to see. Content, however, is good with few grammatical errors.

Informative but glitchy
The app has good content but when you are scrolling through the constant ad updates cause the content to go up 3 to 4 articles and you have to go back down to read the last article you were reading just to see it again

Commercials
I enjoy this app, but when you click on a news story and the commercial immediately starts to play; it’s just too much. When you’re in a quiet situation and you want to read the article, the video or commercial bursts through your phone. And you’re left scrambling to lower the volume or pause it. They need to fix that.

Meh
App freezes all the time. And as much as I hoped the local news would actually focus on important topics, they’re just out for likes and clout like the rest. Quite sad really. When your entire job is to read off a teleprompter and not do any of your own fact checking, it’s easy for people to question everything you put out as truth.

News Wins, Weather Loses
The new app has a better presentation for the news, but the weather features took a hit. The WNYT app fabulous worldwide weather and locational services (weather “where you are now,” or pick a city, or “your location pinpointed on the radar”) are gone. That’s a serious loss.

Not ready for prime time
App often drops out when you click on a video link. Entire site is poorly designed. I come to the site for news. Why make me click on a tiny ...more news headlines... link to get there. Rest of page populated by large tiles for what should be in a drop down menu. Some should be categories of news. Some are random. Many are never updated and therefore useless. Closings and delays in the summer? When you get to the news, the categories are lame: "State of Corruption" "In-Depth" are useless categories and the same stories are often found in several categories. Some are rarely updated. The most recent story in the State of Corruption category is 6 months old. In-depth may go weeks or months without new stories. How about local, state, national, world, business, education, tech, arts and entertainment? How about adding stories to every category every day? App often drops out when you click on an image with a video link.
