1. [R3] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Notifications: The app functions well. I do miss the ability to watch live from my phone in real time in the mornings. More customization of notifications would be appreciated. I’d like to receive Breaking news & Local news notifications without Sports. My Sports notifications are disabled, but some must be sent anyway when other notification groups are enabled.
2. [R12] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Looking: Half the time I can’t find what I’m looking for since you changed it a while ago
3. [R68] WHIO News 5/5 · US I love this app: Even if I can't watch the news it will still let me listen I like that feature and I love all the channels you can watch on the app.
4. [R63] WHIO News 3/5 · US Update: Often you run stories that are old. Same with the weather. I suggest you update more often. Thank you.
5. [R9] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Old news: Almost all the news on this is over 24 hours old You are better off looking elsewhere
6. [R57] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Outdated news: The news on the home page is never updated timely. I may as well read the paper. Other local apps have up to date news a lot quicker. Come on your better than this
7. [R66] WHIO News 3/5 · US Average performance app: The app often paints the screen in a stuttering manner, loading some elements, then stalling out, then loading more text and photos, if it doesn’t freeze entirely. It makes you wonder if it’s loaded with all sorts of background scripts, trackers, etc.
8. [R75] WHIO News 3/5 · US App: Sometimes the screen goes blank. Trouble downloading stories. Sometimes when you scroll the story you pick won’t load. Won’t let me submit the review
9. [R13] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Constantly crashing: App will not work more then 5 times without crashing once open. Horrible update. Are we going to get a working app anytime soon? Have uninstalled and re-installed twice. Still does it after 4-5 times opening it. Please fix!
10. [R45] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Need an update ASAP: This app has been constantly crashing for the past few weeks. I think an update is needed
11. [R112] WHIO News 1/5 · US App doesn’t work: The app used to be great but recently the app stopped working and won’t even open.
12. [R84] WHIO News 3/5 · US App is glitchy: App is glitchy. Freezes and stutters. Videos are spotty and often won’t play, or play double with slightly offset audio.
13. [R4] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Too Many Ads: Had to uninstall, waaaayyyy too many ads. Pop-up ad when I open the app, timed ad before any video I watch, ads on top and bottom on every page.
14. [R28] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Bloated with adverts....: 5 minutes of commercials for every 2 minutes of news. This app is overwhelmed by various banners and averts that make watching the news almost impossible and slow on my iPad. Very biased news stories that promote many businesses and government but little real news. Also for every segment I have to unmute the sound until the next segment when I have to unmute it again and
15. [R91] WHIO News 1/5 · US Too Many Ads: Sad that you have to sit through minutes of ads before you can actually get a weather forecast. I never actually got through the ads to see my forecast. Seek weather info elsewhere.
16. [R115] WHIO News 4/5 · US Like the news, not the ads.: There are so many ads, I often can’t see more than a few lines of a story.
17. [R10] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Update broke it: Since updating, the app flickers when opened then I get a black screen.
18. [R67] WHIO News 1/5 · US Do better: Not impressed with your news reporting techniques and skills these days.
19. [R88] WHIO News 2/5 · US The truth: Need more stories new, sooner. . Needs to update sooner. Then show more local. More Ohio and the major nations news and local state sports major events.
20. [R71] WHIO News 5/5 · US News Notion: Great coverage on a daily basis.
