1. [R7] 4/5 · US Keeping on top of Current Events is a priority.: I read your news articles daily. They are well written. Keeping up on events around Pittsburg and current events in other areas of United States is my top priority. Also World Events are important to keep up with. I also enjoy hearing about my Pittsburgh Teams, Steelers, Penguins and the Pirates! Win or loose they be are my favorites! It is also nic
2. [R10] 5/5 · US Finally: I love channel 11 news teams. They ask common sense questions trying to get the truth no matter what! They have always tried to be aware of the truth and hard facts when assigned to a case and I appreciate that.
3. [R17] 5/5 · US Favorite: My first choice watching news is Channel 11. Sure great reporting the truth. Through too!
4. [R70] 5/5 · US Coverage is the best: I enjoy keeping up with local news! WPXI is always on the scan and the coverage is the best! People want the facts and your reporters are the most detailed! They cover individual counties
5. [R99] 5/5 · US The world around me: I feel updated on important news stories in my area as they happen. When viewing the news on television is not always an option it’s nice to be kept aware of this fast changing world on my phone.
6. [R105] 5/5 · US Love Wpxi: I always watch Wpxi news. It’s the first station I turn to when for news and weather. Especially if there is breaking news and weather. there is a weather emergency or I need information fast. I have both the news and weather apps! Great job
7. [R138] 5/5 · US Keeps me informed: The alerts are great and gives me a choice of reviewing or not. We are blessed with good reporting in the “Burgh”.
8. [R140] 5/5 · US Amazing App! Amazing News Station: This app is SO much better than KDKA or WTAE. WPXI gives updates on its story and sends push alerts about the updates to breaking news stories. The app is always very well functioned. It is good at delivering the Breaking news locally and nationally. It often issues National alerts before stations like CNN, Fox News, or CBS News do. They always provide Breaking a
9. [R19] 5/5 · US Awesome: Awesome, better than the other 2 Pittsburgh Stations
10. [R154] 5/5 · US Good app: This app is way better than KDKA. It doesn’t make you go all the way back to the beginning after you read a story and then you have to find the correct place. And they update their stories KDKA had some of them on for months then go away and in a few days come back . Dump KDKA and get channel 11 news .
11. [R2] 1/5 · US Wasn't broke...: Used to love the news app. WPXI HAD THE BEST! Then, even though it wasn't broke, you fixed it. It's the worst news app. I want to read not watch WPXI videos that are 80% commercials for WPXI. I expect your reporters to be professional however when you shove them down my throat, I wonder.
12. [R6] 3/5 · US Too Many Videos: I would prefer to quietly READ the news in the still early morning without it suddenly blaring from my phone.
13. [R25] 1/5 · US Forced Auto Play Videos: SEIZURE WARNING!!!! That is what needs to be listed. There is absolutely ZERO control over the video that plays in the middle of the articles. There is ZERO way to stop it or pause it. I doubt they thought about the flashing lights from emergency vehicles causing people issues. A LOT of people read the their icons Phones in dim lighted areas and the brightness of the video
14. [R36] 1/5 · US Auto-play is a big problem: This is a bug that has not been addressed for months. Even with the auto-play setting off, a push alert will trigger auto-play. This is awful, particularly in the middle of the night. Please resolve!
15. [R3] 2/5 · US Review: The app used to be good. Now not so much. Don’t like having to scroll through a ton of ads to finish a news story. Plus gotta to be more news in our region. Do better WPXI. You’re a great station.
16. [R9] 2/5 · US Make it make sense: Why sent out a headline for an article that never shows up? Why is it so hard to navigate? Why are there so many ads? Why don’t you make it easy to follow up on stories?
17. [R12] 1/5 · US Uninstalling: There are ways to include ads without them being obnoxious and all over the place. I’m scrolling through the news and being bombarded by gambling ads and an image of an elderly person with their finger up their nose?
18. [R13] 1/5 · US Too much: I wanted to mention that of course the ads are horrible and everybody hates them, but you have to make revenue off. I guess somehow I think the problem is is it’s in LA AI generated another becoming offensive now we have Cheech and Chong‘s Gummies to get high with now we have something to s gonna make every woman’s vagina wet. I actually took screenshots of these cause I was going to sen
19. [R1] 3/5 · US My feedback on the WPXI app: Many times I get very frustrated with navigating through the WPXI app(and sincerely, the website) . It is hard to find information that you are looking for even if it aired that day. A lot of times the anchor woman or anchorman will say that there’s more information on the website and it is absolutely hard to find. You really have to go down a rabbit hole and it’s frus
20. [R8] 4/5 · US Stories don’t show: When I get a highlight of a story in my phone feed, I click on it and it never opens up.
21. [R24] 3/5 · US Stories: I don’t like that when an alert comes across my phone and I click the alert that I’m not taken to that story. I have to scroll through the app to find it. And sometimes it’s not worth searching the app so I don’t bother to read the article.
22. [R16] 1/5 · US Junk: This app crashes more than drivers on rt 28.
23. [R18] 1/5 · US App Review: Operating system & functionality are horrible
24. [R21] 2/5 · US Horrible app: Filled with bugs and clutches. App never ever works for me. When you click on something you want to view it jumps to something unrelated. I have tried re installing it, checked to see if there was any revised versions and found nothing work. I do not recommend downloading the WPXI iPad app or any of there apps.
25. [R29] 1/5 · US WPXI app: When I try to watch the app on the live stream, sometimes it duplicates itself, and I have two stories going at the same time.
26. [R11] 2/5 · US Nope: The articles are old and not “new”s. They are also short, not detailed and sometimes vague.
27. [R20] 1/5 · US World new hunt: The latest update took the site from bad to worst.
28. [R23] 1/5 · US Review: The news is basically the same thing for days and they use the same stories 2 or3 times to fill it up
29. [R28] 2/5 · US Not what it used to be: They don’t update the news. It’s the same stories for 2 days. If you don’t read an article, it stays in your feed for weeks or it randomly shows up for a month. People want breaking news not what they have been hearing about for a month.
30. [R48] 4/5 · US Sylvia: I’m not happy with the new school delays. I’m also not happy with how long it takes to update the app with news. Always the same stories especially on the weekends The other thing is this website is never updated on the weekends. Same news for 3 days. . Page is never updated
31. [R64] 3/5 · US School closings: The app is not intuitive for school closings- it will not find Chartiers valley school district
32. [R237] 3/5 · US Timing is off: Was watching the news 11 in the morn, also while searching for delays for my children's district, and had no results found; However, then, the delay appeared on news 11, I was confused about the timing it took to update the new delay!?! (Just Needs a little more time adjusting)
33. [R238] 3/5 · US Slight problems: The school closing and delay schedule is not so accurate cause I searched my school up by name and nothing came up but when I was watching the new this morning it said I had a 2hr delay and then I went back to the app and rechecked it and it still said no results
34. [R75] 1/5 · US No many notifications: I set to only get alerts for beaver and butler county however keeps getting notifications for everything so the settings in the app don’t work
35. [R77] 3/5 · US Too many Notices: Notices are sent too often and I begin to ignore them. At the very least please put more details in the banner notice. I don’t want to be required to click on every notice to see if it’s a story from my end of the world or something that doesn’t concern me.
36. [R119] 4/5 · US Solid but too many alerts: Solid local news app. better than other ones for the area. However, the number of push notifications it sends, if you turn those on, is crazy. Literally everything you can imagine, from traffic and weather, national and local news. It must send over 15 a day, and there appears to be no way to customize if you only want a small subset of these delivered. Having to swipe t
37. [R211] 3/5 · US Almost like watching the news: It seems like this app gives you ALL the news ALL the time. I easily got 20 alerts daily. I just wanted breaking news (the Liberty Bridge is on fire) not every random news story (house fire a county away). The excessive alerts became too annoying & I deleted the app after 2 weeks.
38. [R14] 2/5 · US Where is the search field?: Can’t search for specific news !!???
39. [R53] 3/5 · US Engagement: The app would be so much better if there were a way to comment on stories. Not everyone has social media.
40. [R102] 3/5 · US Love the app: Love the app. Only gave 4 stars because there is no search button, and when I just catch something quick or at the end I can’t search for it . Very informative .
41. [R5] 1/5 · US Not user friendly.: Not user friendly at all. Every other app. when you swipe back to get to the previous screen, you do. With this app it takes you to the next article. Very frustrating.
42. [R38] 1/5 · US App Will Open Videos When Closed: For now- 1 star. The app will open itself and play whatever videos are there (in the app). I’ve tried deleting reinstalling, force quitting apps, etc. I’m just going to delete it until the bug is fixed. It’s happening to me, coworkers, and neighbors. Either COX media group doesn’t care or they don’t know. Also, would be 2/5 stars, too many ads, way to busy (too
