  1. [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.
  2. [R8] ClickOnDetroit 5/5 · US News very goo: Very good
  3. [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.
  4. [R35] ClickOnDetroit 4/5 · US Look seeing Cannel 4 , they are always up to date: Love this news
  5. [R2] ClickOnDetroit 4/5 · US Time to update the App: Like the app. It’s time to add dark mode don’t you think. A lot of us are using that now a days. Please give us the choice.
  6. [R5] ClickOnDetroit 4/5 · US I Would like a better notification filter: Stop Over-sensationalizing Weather for Clicks. Chill.
  7. [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!!!!
  8. [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.
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [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.
  12. [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
  13. [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.
  14. [R15] ClickOnDetroit 3/5 · US Rate the App: I like Click on Detroit except - like the TV broadcast - there are too many ads!!
  15. [R51] ClickOnDetroit 1/5 · US Too many ads!!: I’ve had this app for a couple years and will delete it now due to the FORCED ads with no way to skip. I’ll probably stop watching the news channel as well.
  16. [R63] 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.
  17. [R64] News Daytona Beach 1/5 · US Not working: Won’t play
  18. [R65] 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.
  19. [R66] 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.....
