“ I love this app”
I am a native Massachusetts , and channel 5 has always been my favorite new channel and still is , it give you accurate new reporting. All though I left Massachusetts and moved to sunny Arizona 2 years ago I continue to tune in to channel 5 news with this app. The app is easy to navigate and it gives me alerts. “ I truly appreciate this wonderful app “. Thank you Channel 5 for your continued Reporting of accurate news and weather. From A fame of Channel 5

Failure to launch
Your app is the same app found all over the country. Except for your piddling amount of local news it can come from any city anywhere. The most maddening thing of all is after reading any particular item one must start from the top AGAIN in order to find where I left off . Rediculous!! Why do I even bother using your app? Nothing has changed, if I goof in my scrolling I have to start over from the top. Maddening!! You use the same service & subjects I’ve seen on other news sites. How about some local originality.

More-frequent Updates
In general the app is very good. One improvement, however, is needed: update the news/stories more often. Some of the general interest stories in particular are on the app for days on end. Even some of the sports reports refer to games that were played days ago. Please remove/update these items in quick fashion. Otherwise, keep up the great work! Update: Recently noticed that several news stories are truncated above the first advertisement contained within. Please check this out and correct it.
