Recent reviews

I've never actually given a review for anything, but this app is so horrendous that I felt compelled to share my thoughts. I've used the wfsb app for almost 15 years now. Whatever update just happened has ruined everything. If they don't fix it, I'm going to be forced to give up on getting my news from wfsb. I try to scroll down through the news articles, and it switches me from national news to politics or to local news. This happens many, many, many times every single day. I'm done with it.
