WWLP 22News – Springfield MA

Thanks for the daily news...keeping me current with my neighbors during this challenging Covid19 isolation. 💕 Cannot get past your “ nickname prompt “. Ugh

I’ve noticed that some of the weather reporters tend to state that rain is not good. Just tonight, Brian said “the good news is that it will not rain this evening”. Rain should not be considered bad news these days. Many people depend on rain for their spring and summer businesses, especially farmers, landscapers, and home owners, not to mention the low river and lake depths. It seems that it has been raining much less the past 5 years, along with less snowfall. We need this natural resource to live so I do not think that it should be reported as an inconvenience to some people. Thanks. All in all, I enjoy 22 news so keep up the good work. Thanks, Dave

As a western Mass resident, this has been my go-to app for local news as we have a limited choice in media outlets. HOWEVER, I specifically use an app like this because I prefer to READ my news, not watch it or listen to it. It is INCREDIBLY annoying that in the latest version, the recorded TV version of each story starts playing whenever you open a story. Specifically, I hate that it slows down actually opening the story (because it is buffering the video) and that I then have to actually wait for the unnecessary video to start so that I can pause it to finally enjoy reading the article, which is all I wanted to do in the first place. FUTURE VERSIONS OF THIS APP NEED TO ADD A “STOP AUTOMATIC VIDEO” FEATURE!
