Free and entertaining!

I love that the news is there for when I need to listen to the weather folks chit chat. Even better is that I can watch some shows about my town! So refreshing compared to the typical Hollywood stuff. And it’s looks like real legit shows too!

Want to watch WCVB 11PM news not Sports Overtime

Although I enjoy using the app, I want to watch the newscast, not the weekend sports program. App (and website) consider the sports program to be a newscast. I also want to watch the latest Chronicle on demand, not individual bits of programs. Also, when I am watching a newscast on-demand, when a newer one becomes available it terminates the one I am watching and starts the new one from the beginning. I want to be able to finish the stream I am watching! This happens at, for example, 11:50PM when the 10PM newscast is replaced with the 11PM newscast, and on early Monday morning the sports program replaces the newscast. Used to be a workaround of going to the website but that no longer works

Very Local has great stories to tell and those stories are presented so well.This is one app that I’m glad I downloaded because it’s not only entertaining, but is educational as well.

Too many adds

I understand that monetizing is a need here but add should not be placed at the beginning of the videos, that drives audience to close the ads and not watch the show. In my case, I lost interest, if the adds are inserted across the show, I would have watch the add because I would have get caught in the story of the show. I can’t say anything about the content because I did not get to watch any of it
