The app is buggy. Crashed until I reinstalled it. After update. At least it must be a communication from the development team about the update. That might be easily detected if tested, which does not seem to happened. Video- it was mentioned in several comments- you can and perhaps must make full screen when you flip the device. You may use the libraries and methods that already there. Adds - beyond ridiculous. You play the adds content then throwing another picture add after which the video content is not played. The user must play the video again and watch another add preceded the video content. No feedback/comments available. Is that how good quality product being delivered? Understanding that the developer does its best.. maybe it worth to find someone qualified to do the work? Maybe it worth to rethink the marketing model? There are standards in app design and development. This is 2019. You are representing the city.

I’ve always liked live 5 for local news. However, content aside, each iteration of the app over the last few years has gotten progressively worse. This most recent one is no exception. A truly terrible app. The crown jewel of over engineering a fix for something that was not broken. If I didn’t have higher expectations it would be comical how bad this app is. Not user friendly. Layout/interfacing is cumbersome and needlessly complicated. Worst of all clickbait/fake news headlines are visually identical to real news headlines. If you want to get good reporting from a terrible app, this ones for you.

I use to love this app, the developers need to fix the video playback. First you have to watch a ad video, which isn’t a problem, but if you want to see the video you have to rotate to landscape, and when you do the video stops and starts the ad video again. In landscape the whole screen is not visible when you try to adjust the position to see the video, the ad starts over again.
