SEO garbage
Full of fake stories with affiliate links, to the point where it's useless to use organically. This is chum to make money.
United StatesWeather Description
I Really wish the app designer implemented Dew Point readings on the Weather description instead of Humidity percentage. Dew point is way more accurate and easier to understand when it comes to knowing when it’s Comfortable, muggy or Oppressive. Why the meteorologist didn’t express to include this is beyond me.
United StatesReview of channel 5
Although I usually enjoy all the news & weather on channel five, I think sometimes they ignore some important facts on various stories, an interesting example would be that they never investigated the deaths of the whales & dolphins off the coast of New York & New Jersey last year, which was reported on the New York stations, it was determined that the underwater explosions for the future wind farms were causing the deaths of these majestic creatures & not local fishermen
United StatesAds
Love the SKIP NOW ads. It is like a gift to someone who just wants the news. Thanks Still love “SKIP ADD”. Do not like the automatic add on news after finishing articles. Very annoying and old news.
United StatesProofread the writing
I’m losing faith in the written news report. Does anyone proofread any more???
United StatesOnly good for streaming news with ads
I like to read the news and not stream when away from the TV. This app used to let you read the article. However, now all the articles show only one line of text between ads and it is not showing most of the article.
United StatesVery tired of the worthless notifications
I remember when WCVB had the best notifications. But now their notifications consist of "This Massachusetts city"; "This former Super Bowl champion"; "this New England state"; "this Oscar winner"; "star Patriots player"; "gunshots in Massachusetts city". I mean seriously, these notification headlines are worthless and are a complete waste of time. I guess it's all about dollars and cents, news be damned. I deleted the app and went to NBC 10 Boston, who does a much better job.
