Poor layout, lacking in quality and content
Top news is flooded by endless ads, incessant calls for 'cute pet' photos, "amazing" high school football plays, and more ads. The few article that one manages to find after scouring through the drivel, are poorly written and never present an authoritative professional journalistic tone. Trying to get the days news from this app was akin to "reading" a mediocre high school news letter. Yes with such abysmal writing and reporting, it is only natural for a reasonably intelligent person to "expect more", but less is all that is on display with News4.
New update
Old version was a lot better. I’ll try to see if I can roll it back. If anybody does know please post it. Thanks
Completely unusable after most recent update.
The app opens to the logo and never goes beyond it. It doesn’t even get to a point where I can access settings to try to fix it. It doesn’t matter if I open the app directly or try to open it through a push notification. Same issue. I tried to report a problem but that took me to a website that said I didn’t have a purchase so I couldn’t report an issue. Frustrating. Guess I’ll just delete it all together.
Slowly but surely disliking this app
I enjoy staying up to date with what’s happening but the more I read and understand the undertones to some of these posted articles. This app is biased and pushes one side way more than the other. I wish y’all could lean more neutral and stop eating the sheep feed. 🐑
Pushes the mainstream media narrative
I wanted news from San Antonio as we live nearby and conduct business in town. I was willing to deal with the mainstream narrative as I just ignored it, reading the actual news only. But what caused me to delete this app was the polls they ask. After answering the polls they give the results. The results were always so unbelievable and totally conflicted with national polls, bordering on ridiculous. I just couldn’t take it. News is supposed to be news, no narrative, just news.
Personalized ad notice
The notice appears, but I can’t get it off to read the news. Makes the use of the app useless
Wish rotated
Portrait orientation is good for using on a phone, but a lot of us use a tablet in landscape. Even on a phone it is handy to be able to rotate 180 degrees if connected to a charger.
Thanks for watching and downloading our app. This update fixes some bugs and adds performance improvements!
