A spin-oriented, agenda-driven leftist Madison "news" service that demands cookies and phone access - and provides no opt-out options - to allow you to read its poorly-written stories? JUST SAY NO! Choose WMTV channel 15 Madison instead.

You can watch recent newscasts, but it won't work with Chromecast. And I don't mean there's no option for Chromecast, I mean it absolutely refuses to cast to your TV. If you try to use mirroring, the video on your TV freezes. You HAVE to watch any video on your phone, for some insane and seemingly arbitrary reason. So pretty useless.

It is simply entirely too many notifications. Four just for one Bucks game today. I don't consider sports breaking news. Please add notification categories so I can choose to only get alerts about news, and I might consider reinstalling the app.

I just uninstalled this app because it no longer has "printed" stories just videos. It takes so much longer to get the news from video than from print. I'm sad to drop this app, because it has been my go-to local news source for years, but as currently designed, it is useless. They restored printed stories, so I use it again.

Always loved this app, recently it will not connect to my homes wifi. It will connect to mobile data just fine. Why guys? I have uninstalled it, cleared caches. Also the new color is bad. Can't read anything.

The headings for everything in this app like weather, obits, setting, etc.. are all in a very light grey on a white background making the headings almost impossible to see. This changed sometime in the last year & has never been corrected. Please make the headings visible again!

The notifications on this app are terrible. EVERY TIME I click on a notification that is supposed to show me a video story it NEVER goes to the story that was headlined in the notification.

I cant watch the news live anymore. The new update sucks. You shouldn't try to fix something that isn't broke! You guys should start playing live on Facebook when you guys air. It works better then your app.

So what is the point of having notifications from the app for news stories, and then having to click 'read more' and then subsequently be taken to the web page?? Why not just have the whole article on the app? What is the reasoning behind this. I've never left a review for an app before because I've never encountered such a stupid design as this. I'd leave zero stars if possible.
