I like TV 8 news and weather but lately the audio is so choppy you can't understand half of what's said. I'm uninstalling and reinstalling to see if it helps.

I've loved this app for a long time, but the recent update has caused too many problems. The app often gets stuck trying to to load an opening ad and overall seems less mobile friendly

I'm a Wood TV fan, but in their app, ads spam the screen way too much. There's even an ad and video for the app itself, even though you're using it. On a mobile phone screen, you might see an article occupying the mid-third of your screen, while ads spam the upper and lower thirds. No thanks.
