- [R2] WPXI News 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
- [R4] WPXI News 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.
- [R65] WSB-TV News I appreciate what’s making news, as a former TV anchor in San Francisco, now retired in Marietta, GA: The constant updates and factual information provided by WSB-TV News is a CONSTANT in my life. I thoroughly appreciate how WSB-TV STAYS ON THE JOB…Delivering news we can all TRUST AND BELIEVE . THANKS TO ALL WHO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
- [R95] WSB-TV News Excellent and Definitely Dependable: WSBTV has always been the go to news source. Never fails to provide accurate coverage and always for the citizens of Georgia (no matter what political affiliation you belong to). The weather team is extremely knowledgeable and reliable every day. I absolutely love the triple traffic team in the morning time. Fred Blankinship has a beautiful soul! His enthusia
- [R3] WPXI News 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
- [R10] WPXI News 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.
- [R61] WSB-TV News Not user friendly: This app a waste of my time. It cuts the story off while the interview is going and just moves to the next story only to do the same thing. Also, most of the videos don’t show when you click on them; you can only hear people talking.
- [R72] WSB-TV News App Needs Work: I enjoy reading the news on the app. However, lately, in the middle of reading a story, the words disappear and I have to close the app, re-find the article and just hope it doesn’t disappear a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) time.
- [R31] WPXI News Junk: This app crashes more than drivers on rt 28.
- [R40] WPXI News 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.
- [R100] WSB-TV News Delete it: I used to rely on this app when I wasn’t able to watch the news but last couple of months it has been freezing and crashing every time I open it so I deleted it
- [R102] WSB-TV News Unreliable App: It is very frustrating to receive push notification teasers only to have the app crash upon opening more than half the time. Please fix this bug. It definitely has caused me to get my news from a more reliable app.
- [R1] WPXI News 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.
- [R85] WSB-TV News Ads: You post way too many ads and from very aggressive home improvement companies
- [R94] WSB-TV News Disappointed with WSB: Too many ads! The same news is repeating
- [R88] WSB-TV News My trusted news source: I’ve been watching channel 2 action news all my life. I’m 56. I trust channel 2 with up-to-date Weather breaking news and information. But the website has a bunch of. And repetitive stories and fluff and filler that taint the credibility of WSB. The app needs to be updated and definitely remove all the ridiculous ads. Give us good, solid content and keep the trash as wher
- [R114] WSB-TV News Needs improvementS!: As much as I love Channel 2 & WSB, the app is very disappointing. It’s buggy, sluggish, & the only thing that loads half the time is an advertisement for something that only appeals to elderly consumers. Many times I see something interesting that I would like to read, but the app is so frustrating that I simply give up.
- [R70] WSB-TV News Notifications have bad links: Lately and for the last day, the notification link takes us to an unrelated article. Who is managing the links? Then, if I want to find the relevant article based on that notification it’s not listed anywhere. You’re nailing the art of click bait.
