Good app but not enough granularity in the notifications. I get WAY too many notifications. I set the notifications to get only "Breaking News", but I still get from 20 to 30 notifications a day. This is Super annoying. Otherwise it's a good app. One other thing you have to watch an add in order to see every video. The problem is that the ads are too long. If you are going to make people watch ads for EVERY video, then the ads should be no more than 15 seconds each. This is a real turnoff!

WPTV News app has gone downhill running 30 second ad videos without the opportunity to skip them after about 5 seconds. Especially the FPL video that runs over and over and over again. I pay enough for my electricity with FPL how about discounting my bill instead of wasting money on advertising. It's no longer worth wasting my time on WPTV app videos. Way to go you're losing viewers. I understand ads is what pays the bills but there needs to be the correct balance or you alienate your viewers.

I go to hit on my notifications on my Android phone these days like the last five days and guess what it doesn't take me to the article and app doesn't even open... Freaking ridiculous... Like what's the sense in using you if I can't read the article which sometimes is now very hard to find. Why don't you go back and read all the critical reviews and do something about fixing this instead of ignoring them fix the issue ‼️‼️
