1. [R3] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US number of ads increasing: I’ve used this app for a long time and recently have noticed an increase in the number of ads. They’re disruptive and long and mostly for mobile phone games I would never play. I would actually pay a small amount of money for an adfree subscription or paid app to get rid of them.
2. [R33] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Annoying Ads: Ads are completely unacceptable. Pointless ads for games etc. I switched to Fox2 after being bombarded with ads from this terrible app
3. [R35] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US App Forces Ads: App now forces advertisements when you have viewed about 3-4 news stories and media player is set to play under the default settings, which disrupts other apps if they’re playing. Poorly designed app which is really pushing the ad game to viewers who just want to read about local and national news.
4. [R37] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Popup ads every 2 minutes: It shows the popup ads every 2 minutes, it irritates and actually cause dislikes to that ads and product. 😡😡 Stop that stupid functionality in mobile app. Nobody buys the products that way. 🤔 Use common sense.😒
5. [R6] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US Video Play: I like the app, however I don’t like when I click on a story the video automatically plays. I would like to option to play the video as I am not always in areas where I can play the audio or where earbuds. Please fix!!!!
6. [R10] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US One star downgrade: The auto playing video feed and the inability to disable it has brought me to delete the app. Incredibly frustrating to have the video take over as it does at nearly any given point in the day. It seems to be that only a few hours a day no video is being fed to the app. The rest has been a persistent pain to use. Too bad from one of the top news sources in the country.
7. [R23] ClickOnDetroit 4/5 · US Stop the autoplay: I open your app to check local headlines and sometimes I’m listening to a podcast or watching YouTube, etc.. your app will start automatically playing the broadcast stream if the news is playing. Not cool, man.
8. [R27] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Irritating pop up videos: Not a good app. Many stories are redundant and not updated. One thing that really makes me mad is pop up news stories that take over my screen even after I close the app. Sometimes they are still running in the background. I had earlier versions for years but this is so irritating I deleted the app
9. [R1] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Annoying notifications: “We're about to tell a local family they have 10 minutes to evacuate their house. Watch live right now to see how they handle it”. Terrible
10. [R5] ClickOnDetroit 4/5 · US I Would like a better notification filter: Stop Over-sensationalizing Weather for Clicks. Chill.
11. [R9] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US Fix the notifications bug: I enjoy the app but I have an issue with the notifications. I will get a news alert and when I click on it, the app takes me to a general window about Click on Detroit instead of the article suggestion in the news alert. This happens all the time.
12. [R13] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Support stinks, app very buggy and non functional: This app is one of the worst supported news apps around. When they push a headline to you and you click on it you end up at some advertising screen and can’t find the story you were interested in. The search function, if you can find it, does not find the story you want and repeatedly reporting the issue to tech support only yields cricket chirp
13. [R4] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Stories not updating: The app has been showing the same news stories for 3 days. Nothing new since the 15th.
14. [R12] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US App update? Less content: Much less content on “updated” app. Did not expect that outcome.
15. [R25] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US App not working anymore (not on iPhone 16, Roku or Fire stick): App quit working on all my platforms (iPhone, Roku & Fire stick) reached out to WDIV and received zero reply or help with troubleshooting.
16. [R28] ClickOnDetroit 4/5 · US Comments?: The comments section hasn’t been loading for any article for a week or two. App is updated.
17. [R21] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US Good local information but…: You get good local information here however, it is one-sided and very liberal. You never get both sides of the story. When I read news, I like to hear facts, not opinions, and not an agenda of information that general media is trying to push.
18. [R39] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Doesn’t Allow Feedback: This app doesn’t allow its users to COMMENT on their news stories. It is a one-sided platform, to promote a far-left bias, without any discussion or alternative viewpoints allowed.
19. [R51] WDIV 4Warn Weather 2/5 · US Awful Radar: Has to be the worst radar app out there. Weather data doesn’t even match what’s going on outside… this app has been unusable for a while now. Will be deleting.
20. [R54] WDIV 4Warn Weather 1/5 · US From good to terrible: Amazes me that it’s had constant 1 star reviews since the change and it’s still rated good in the App Store. Another app developer that doesn’t listen to the users… how many people have to delete before bringing the old version back? Well, this used to be a good app. The best around. Very easy to use. The new version is beyond terrible. I deleted it a few days after the up
21. [R56] WDIV 4Warn Weather 3/5 · US Radar no longer beneficial: This last update changed the radar from previous 2-3 hours, current and up to two hours in the future. Now it only share very little within last two hours and current radar. It does not give any future radar. Needless to say this is very very frustrating and doesn’t help plan my day or at least the next few hours at all can you change it back or somehow enhance what wa
22. [R58] WDIV 4Warn Weather 3/5 · US Radar not working: I am wondering what update you did to your radar to make it so that it only shows what WAS happening and what is happening right now. It used to go an hour or two into the future to show the predicted path of storms and now it’s like nope, you can only see where it’s been and where it is right now. That’s it. How does that possibly help me at all?
23. [R65] Block Puzzle 1/5 · US Absolutely too many ads and no way to remove it: There is not an easy way to remove the ads from the game if it weren’t for the number of ads, I would give it a five it’s a fun game, but it sucks because of all the ads
24. [R66] Block Puzzle 5/5 · US Good Game: This game is very good because there are little ads and it is very fun and addictive to play with daily challenges.
25. [R67] Block Puzzle 3/5 · US Dig the Ads: Decent gameplay but no way out of ads. No offers to purchase an ad free experience whatsoever. I know it’s the “new way,” but it shouldn’t be. 3 stars for a decent gameplay experience nestled between ads.
26. [R71] Block Puzzle 1/5 · US Love the game , hate the ads: I love playing this game. It is very relaxing and addictive however the ads are very frustrating with no option to pay to remove them. I find I am playing less and less and will likely delete it. The ads are soooo long . Also it would be nice to have options to win rewards like undo last play. Skip and get new block options etc. please offer an ad free option!
27. [R79] WFRV Local 5 News 1/5 · US Can’t get past settings: Can’t open this app because it forces me to enter a zip code, but even when I do, there is no way to press enter or hide the keyboard, and there is no button visible to continue. I don’t know if they completely failed to test, or maybe it’s because of my type size setting, but the app is useless as is.
28. [R80] WFRV Local 5 News 5/5 · US The Best!: Best in local news, weather and sports!
29. [R84] WFRV Local 5 News 2/5 · US Weather map :(: Disappointed in the new version of this app. The interactive radar map is much smaller and not as user friendly. I really preferred the full screen map not the little mini map they have now. When I open a weather app I want easy access to a full screen radar map. I will be using a different app.....
30. [R86] WFRV Local 5 News 1/5 · US Don't bother: Don't bother with this app. I had to delete and reinstall to get past the privacy policy. They don't bother to keep news current. For example, 90 minutes after a Packer game ended today, the score is not on the site, much less any news about the game and this is supposedly a Green Bay station.
31. [R93] WXYZ 7 News Detroit 2/5 · US Non-functional: I have a problem with the app shutting down every time I try to go to the weather tab. Plus, frequently the forecast on the app doesn’t match the one on tv. The daily and hourly forecasts don’t even match up sometimes. It also wouldn’t let me set up an account.
32. [R96] WXYZ 7 News Detroit 1/5 · US Notification issue!: I toggled/signed up for only sports notifications but I get all types of notifications. Please fix asap!!
33. [R97] WXYZ 7 News Detroit 5/5 · US Excellent App: Easy to use and works great.
34. [R99] WXYZ 7 News Detroit 1/5 · US I want to like this so much more than I do: This app is way too problematic. Having reliable local news is important, but it’s too difficult to use this app. From videos going full screen on their own while trying to read, to there being too many adds, to article notifications opening to the app home screen instead of the article. I’ve tried to like this app for so long and just can’t try anymore,
35. [R107] News Daytona Beach 2/5 · US Lots of dead air: Crackly signal, lots of gaps, playing stream over another. Poor content, boring repetitive hosts. It used to be a great station, now hardly worth tuning in except for America in the Morning & Gordon Deal. They brag about being locally owned, but have virtually no local content except Friday 8:30 AM
36. [R109] News Daytona Beach 3/5 · US Inconsistent: I enjoy the station, but for some reason the app will not allow me to listen consistently. I have the app installed on my android and my iPhone. It works better on my iPhone, but not well at all on my android.
37. [R111] News Daytona Beach 4/5 · US App quits working keep losing station: At least 3-4 times a week I have to delete app and re download it. I love this station but really is quite aggravating. Doesn’t matter where or what device I use. Just seems to have been this way since your move to new location.
38. [R112] News Daytona Beach 3/5 · US Locks: Love the show, but the app is constantly locking up. I have to delete it and reinstall to get it back up. I would normally blame this on user error, but this is the only one of 30 or so of my apps that have this problem. So.....
