User Reviews for 40/29 News - Fort Smith
Why are the links so large?
Good information, glad to have a local news app on my phone, but it is impossible to scroll without clicking 2 or 3 links in the process. They literally take up all of the page and when there is an ad every time I come back to the same video after hitting one of these links, I get so frustrated I don’t even care for the news anymore.
Good local news
Up-to-date, timelyI wish there were better spell check and grammar checks in placeI think it’s embarrassing and challenges your validity when it appears that no one even cares to look for errorsI am loyal to 40/29, so I hope I see an improvement!
Local News
I like seeing the local and national news on this app. I do have one thing that really bothers me though. I can be reading an article and it will just drop the end of the story. It happens ALL the time. That is frustrating. I’m glad I can stay up with what is going on in our area even though I may not see the end of the article.
Long wait
It seems that it takes forever to get the news from the notifications that are sent out! Would be nice to read when they are sent not minutes later!!
Like the local news, hate the amount of 'fluff' content
I will preface that I understand the fluff lifestyle articles featured on this app (and the website) generates revenue for them. But for me, the format in which they feature these click bait pieces drives me crazy. Regular ads I can tolerate, but the "lifestyle" slide-show articles mixed within the local / proper news feels disorganized and tabloid-y. To be fair, this is not the only news app or website that populates non-news 'sponsored content' articles into it's proper news feed and, as mentioned earlier, I understand it's income and keeps the app free. But it's a format that increasingly 1) doesn't work for me, 2) tests my patience and 3) makes my visits to apps and websites like this very short.
Nowcast terrible
Anytime I log on to watch the love news on my phone, I first have to watch a commercial. After that the news MIGHT come on or it might not. I’ve left my phone on while getting ready in the morning and 9 out of 10 times, the news will never come back from commercial and I’ll be left staring at a black screen. Super frustrating. I’d rather watch it live on FaceBook if they gave me the option.
Incomplete articles/sentences
For some unknown and annoying reasons, a sentence will stop midway especially if there is an advertisement you have to scroll past. Many times the whole final section(s) of the article will be cut off. It makes trying to read any news on this app frustrating. I no longer try 90% of the time and just read the headlines. The other 10% of the time, I try in hopes that they have finally read their own articles on the app and figured out this is an issue. But since I am writing this today - nope!
Weather Accuracy
I would like to give this a five star rating but due to the weather forecast for several days out, it is always different than what is shown during your weather forecast during the news.
Rarely a problem
Love this app. Only issue I have is, when I get a notification about a news story or weather alert, if I don’t click on the notification immediately, and just open the app to find it myself, I can’t always find it.
Needs Content Updated More Frequently and Editors Proofreading Before Publication
I read the news daily on this app and find that there’s rarely new content published. I waste more time scrolling through to find new content only to discover a handful. When I do find new content and attempt to read it, I find it was not proofread before it was published. It’s very common to see sentences with extra words from a copy and paste scenario where in order for the sentence to make sense, one or more words should have been removed.
