Nice app
Just tried the app, listening to the radio and breakfast challenge works for me. So far it’s a good experience.
Streaming Radio Gone
Can no longer stream the news 1130 radio station. Obsolete app. Delete.
Please increase app volume
I like this app. I just find it very low in volume. If you could make it significantly louder that would be great!
News unavailable?
Top stories Vancouver not working for the past 2 days 🤷♀️
Unable to read top stories.
This is about my third time complaining of issues with the Voiceover screen reader. After such a horrific flood, I am unable to read any updates, and this is unacceptable. As a blind person, I should not be excluded from something so basic. If one thing isn't broken with Voiceover, it's another. Please fix this, and remember to keep the app accessible to all. Thank you.
Very Nice App
I like The App So Much. I Really Like News And Weather.
You are ridiculous
Why did you take off news 95.7???? If you need to save money, guess what so do I! Give me back my daily new! If you’re hurting for cash, off your music station, we have enough of those!
Mediocre
Slow to update new stories. News “reporters” sometimes poor at grammar. Send Brandon Choghri back to school. Perhaps they rely on AI too much?
no traffic update
i dont see the traffic button to get traffic updates goin into toronto
Is this the New Version ?
Is this the new version cause a few weeks ago I received notification that the current one would no longer be available.
Errors errors errors
So many typographical errors, run-on sentences, and incorrect information. Today’s article says there was a train derailment on the Bow River, but it’s not the Bow River at all. When you try to submit a correction, nothing happens and it never gets submitted. You fill out all the information and it just takes you to the top of the page when you click submit, with all the information in the fields you just filled out vanished. It’s like a bunch of teens run this site.
Unable to enter weather guarantee contest
Player and news bulletins work great but can’t enter Weather Guarantee contest.
Not updating
It won’t update. Keeps telling me to update, takes me to the app and there’s nowhere to press update.
Drop offs
This app takes a while to connect. You have to go through multiple steps in order to get to the radio, then it’s constantly cutting in and out or cutting out altogether, forcing you to constantly reconnect. Sometimes it feels like you’re better off just turning on a radio (if you still have one) instead of the app.
Turn up the volume for business report
The volume on the reports are lower than the main volume
Poor Advice-update to new version…😕
Unable to play the”City News” app as it was telling me to UPDATE to the “new version”. Needless to say as old version was inoperable, I tried to UPDATE to the new version and to my surprise I got a message telling me my phone was to old and I would have to download the old version.😳 Guess what? Nowhere could I find an “old version” to download. 😡
No content
What has happened to this app? There are almost no news stories for world and business anymore.
So slow
Used to be my go-to for a quick update. Glitches all the time and incredibly slow to load 😕
Way too loud!
I have to set Listen Live one notch above mute!
City News aweful
The app is not working correctly just shows blank screen
Widget broken
I like the App and the widget but recently with the App change every time I click on the iPhone widget it asks to update the app, but I already have updated it.
Buggy
This app keeps bugging out. When trying to contact someone via the app, it keeps flashing and won’t let me enter details. I can’t even enter for the Santa clause parade giveaway because it’s so glitchy.
App Crashes on iPad
Overall a decent app only issue is when I try the video section the app crashes.
Sucks
This app is 2 or 3 days behind Was ok for gas updates now they stay on the same date for 3 days to bad tjst can’t leave it alone when it works
Volume control
It does not function
Halifax feed doesn’t work
Halifax feed doesn’t load any stories, just a blank page now
Widget please
I was using city news vancouver and get informed that it is no longer available. Instead, it recommended me to use this app. but I found it doesn’t support widget on my iphone which city news vancouver does. When or how can I enable it?
