Living out of Huntsville Al area.
Ok I use to be able to get news From WHNT 19, down here in Milton Florida. Use live in Muscle Shoals. Some day hope to move back. Anyway I was able to keep up with news out of Huntsville and surrounding areas.. Now I can’t 🥺😢. Is there a reason why?? Hopefully someone can explain why. iPhone user.. It seem to be maybe with app update hear lately.. I would like hear back from you please. Thank You.
Not opening
When going to an article, the app doesn’t open the story I just get a gray screen
Hate the ads
I had no problems with this app until recently. When I open an article, I am often automatically redirected to a sponsor’s website, usually State Farm.
The app would be OK if you could read the stories, without having to watch the video
The app sucks why in the world do I have to watch the video to get the story? Why in the can I not read the story? I click on it in the video pulls up. I don’t want to watch the video. I want to read the story.
Fair app
This app is nothing like viewing on TV. Since I am on the go frequently I was hoping to bring local news with me. But there are so many repetitive commercials and the app stops frequently saying “ will be right back” that I view more commercials and hear more silence than news.
News & Weather
Love to be informed of the the latest news & weather I’m a roofing contractor that needs to the most up to date on information on the rain events from the best option of the weather for the next day ! I like to have a plan for my guys to be ready to remove and replace a roof with no surprises !! Also just love the up to date news about all the sad fatalities in the storm related events and all the other news of events that I want to pray for..
Updated App
I hate what you have done with the app and will no longer be watching. I don’t want to watch NextStar national news. I want to watch my local news on repeat. I still used this app based on it being local. When it would be down on occasion I would try and watch other local apps but hated their national stream as well. I will be deleting the app asap. So disappointed!
???? WHNT
I love receiving local news daily. However, there are many misspelled words. (I wonder if I misspelled “misspelled”.). Oh, well.
Used to like, too many ads now
I’ve used this app for years, and I like the style of WHNT as a station. But the interface is harder now to go forward and back, and both the top and bottom of the screen is covered in ads. The news simply isn’t worth reading between the ads. After years of using this app, I’ve deleted it.
No arrow to get out of videos
When I watch the videos of stories there is no why to get back to news . No arrow to get out of videos . I use my iPad for app .
WHNT
I love this app so helpful when cable doesn’t work!! Great job!!!
Unusable. Too many Ads
App used to be fine to use. Now there are so many ads everywhere that it is basically unusable.
WHNT
Good app
Update
Where are my saved articles? Saved section no longer visible in menu.
March For Life in Washington DC
Why was there no coverage of the 2019 March for life in Washington DC???
Jerryhamilton
It provides many current issues with factual information and many human interests story’s
Bad local news app
Sorry but in using your news app, I was unable to navigate without an ad pop up every page that I went to. Over 45% of each page was some sort of an ad so I am deleting your app. Nothing news worthy to see on this app.
Love It
Very quick at notifications
App locks up when there’s an update
I do not take kindly to apps that force me to update them NOW when I typically do not have time and am trying to access information. It’s a fine app but it should not be forcing me to update it with no option to delay until later.
Great news app
Factual. Well written. Grammar and spelling are to be commended. Updated even on weekends. Better than any others in our area.
Alerts never connect into story
Every time I get a pop-up notification from this source and click on it, it immediately goes through a pop-up advertisement which I dismiss, and then I can’t ever find the breaking news story that made me come to the site to start with!
Good
Best yet
Needs work
19 news is my primary local tv news source of choice. They are often directing viewers to their app for additional info. Often, I don't find what they are noting on the app, or it takes too long. Then if I do find it, and want to share it by "text", usually the "save" button in the upper right corner is blocking me from being able to select the icon. Yes, there are generally other options within the article for sharing. I typically share via text, or email. These other options don't help in that regard. Though one is email, it is an imbedded email service, whereas you have to type in your info, which presumably goes into a database, which I am not desiring to add my email address to. Basically it does not send you to phone email app with the link. If it were to do that, it would also, at least provide me the option to copy link and paste to text, but it doesn't!
Best News App for N. AL/SM TN
This is absolutely the best NEWS APP for coverage of North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee news. The local news setting for my city and county are spot on and they cover all important news with no bells and whistles which I like. I don’t have to do a lot of searching and they include you to be able to report news straight from the app and report corrections if you find one. I rarely do and it’s only simple typos to help get those corrected. They make you feel like you’re part of their news team. 5,000 stars!
Notifications are clickbait
This was a fantastic app until the notifications turned to clickbait. Would prefer to be notify with the news lead, not “click to find out where it happened”.
Wonderful, always updated !
Love it.
Awful
You don’t have a search feature and the layout is awful. We need yh3 old app back.
WHNT NEWS
NEWS THAT'S ALWAYS UP TO DATE AND AHEAD OF ALL THE OTHER LOCAL NEWS SOURCES. I HAVE WATCHED IT FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND I TRUST IT COMPLETELY. THE BEST INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AROUND. THEY ARE IN TOUCH WITH THEIR VIEWERS.
NEW APP
The app released Feb 19,2021 is very poorly designed. It is designed for those that can “watch” the news while they are at work, not those of use that may need to catch a “quick read” of a breaking new item. Very disappointed. There are less articles of interest that before. Maybe you should have considered updating your news articles more often than once a week instead of revamping in app to something so unappealing. It has no design flair very basic like something a 6 year old might do.
County road 17 in Jackson County.
I heard the road had dropped 18 inches. News coverage only shows 231 cracked road. Please update news footage to cover 17. Residents on the mountain have to travel about seven miles further to get off mountain. Wondering where we are
Freezes Up
Lately the app freezes up shortly after I start using it. Please fix!! Not usable!!
Thank you!
Thank you WHNT for keeping us up to date with current news events, weather updates and local happenings!
Frustrating
The version of the app has changed several times since i first downloaded it, quite some time ago. The latest version will only refresh when it wants to, not when i refresh it.
