13 WHAM News 4+

Read the reviews and was not too excited to try the new app. I thought the old app was fine but understand the reason for the change. It took longer to get the iPhone app but that is how Apple works.

I got the new app and installed it. The first time I tried to open it, the app seemed to hang for several minutes. I closed the app and reopened it. It loaded in seconds. I really like the new layout. Very clean and fast. I wish the user could swipe from story to story however without having to return to the home screen. Overall, I like the new app!

Always in the portrait mode. I’m not going to turn my iPad and case in order to use it.

I didn't think it was possible to make this app more annoying, but with this last update they have somehow succeeded. The drop down list of news is a complete hodge-podge- some local, some national, some "huh?". Even with the font cranked to "enormous" it is still microscopic, the pictures are no more than banners. I could continue the list but the net effect is simply that the app is an extremely poor representation of a news channel that gives a solid broadcast & has good reporters.
Dear Channel 13, PLEASE! Go back to News Synergy!!! This is so disappointing! A) This app is NOT compatible with os 4.3. B) It is difficult to navigate & is infrequently updated. C) The former hardly matters since it routinely crashes on opening. (yes, I installed the most recent update. I can't imagine what the "stability improvements" are except that now it ALMOST loads the news before crashing.)
It short, it is a waste of drive space.
Of all the apps there are, the news should be one that can reach every os, every device, everyone!!! We don't need slick or eye catching; WE NEED INFORMATION!!!!
Thankfully, your competitors seem to know that to be true; their app runs seamlessly, even on our old iTouch running 3.x.
