2.9 out of 5, based on 255 reviews.
What people like
- Reporters cover stories very quickly
- You can pick specific alerts
- News team is top notch
What they complain about
- Autoplaying video ads are loud and annoying
- Too many ads take over your screen
- App is slow to open sometimes
It works
Not the greatest but definitely worth downloading
Too many ads
Go back to news and leave the commercials to TV. This “new and improved” WVLT News app is terrible.
WVLT NEWS APP
Their reporters are quick to cover stories, but could use some editing. For instance, someone who has been shot while breaking into another person’s home is the deceased, not the victim.
Old app less swipes.
I don’t like how I can’t swipe to the next story. Instead it’s necessary to back up, click the next story, back up, etc. Overall, the old app is better and more efficient.
Automatically plays videos
I have auto play videos turned off on my iPhone but this app overrides it. I might be reading an article and a video blares out an ad etc.
WVLT
Great app only alerts you what you select to be alerted doesn’t always blow you up only on what you select to be notified of thank you WVLT best weather and news app there is and I don’t even watch the news so that’s says a lot ty
Horrible app with auto start videos you can’t stop
The auto start videos are terrible, no longer my favorite news app
More options needed
I’d like to see a way to stop traffic notifications.
Adds
To many adds that takes over the app. You cannot get them off your screen. There are some taking over this app. So I had to delete it. Hopefully this newly down loaded app will not allow this . If it does I’m going to switch to ch. 10 news app. It is ridicules that you would allow a add to take over your app. Like a virus?
Tespect
Why was the police procession for the fallen member fron East Tenn info not given until 10 hours later. The public wants to pay their respects as well
1 star until we can disable auto play!
Want to regret trying to be informed by selecting a story? Use this app. You are immediately assaulted by a video without any controls - you can’t pause, you can’t mute, just BOOM, video vomit. Advertisers are just wasting their money because all it makes us do is hate them and their products. Give us an option to turn off auto play or at least some controls once the assault has begun, or kiss this user goodbye.
WVLT News App
The WVLT broadcast news team is top notch. Unfortunately the news app is not. Too many ads. News stories over a year old mixed in with recent stories. It could be nice, it just needs to be kept organized and up to date.
Old News
Every story on the state page is 2 years old nothing current
More ads than news
When you open a news story the ad video autoplays with sound and is very obnoxious. The page is riddled with ads and only a small amount of the page contains news. The information given in the article is very brief. This app is more about the ads than the news. I’m deleting it now.
WVLT APP
The pop up ads are extremely annoying with the tiny almost hidden icons to exit out of them. Even worse are the ones that burst into a loud sales pitch. I intend to delete this app because of these issues.
Response
Should be a place to respond to some stories…
Loud Audio and Autoplay Is Awful!
They have ruined a decent app for some local information by the audio autoplay feature. Just stay in your lane and try to provide useful reasonably unbiased information!
Stop the commercials!
I understand apps have to be supported but being forced to watch a video about a dentist or a movie before I get to the news is obnoxious. The other stations in town do not do that. If this continues I will delete the app
Not a fan!
This new headline display is awful!
Too many ads!!
I hate having to watch a 25 second ad when I just want a quick glance at the morning weather to determine what to wear. Very frustrating!
New app stinks
I think your new app is terrible. Why did you have to change it? You can’t find anything on it. You should’ve left the old app better it was easier to find things. I think it stinks. I’m fixing to change to a different news channel.
Rating this app.
I rated this app a 2 star because 3/4 the time I can not get the live news and notifications come in late. (Example: Heavy rain in Jefferson City comes after we already getting it,ect.) Same with school closings. And I also get Spanish and I don’t know Spanish. I thought they had there own station. Beside I think that is descriminating against other people like German speaking people,ect. I use to like this station, I would have given it a 5 but not anymore.
Adverts suck
Make adverts silent at least
As seen on tv
News showed a story on refugees needing support and was told to go to As Seen on TV for details to help ….. Nothing .
Go back to the old app
Go back to the old app format this one sucks
Poorly designed
Trying to find news is frustrating! The app even has a Rate This App option that doesn’t even work. The WBIR app is so much more user friendly.
Deleting
I’ve had this app for years, but I’m deleting. I open the app and an ad is blaring. Can’t close the ad. Don’t need the aggravation.
Increasing trouble having the app open
For the past few months I have been having creasing difficulty getting the app to open. Alerts come through fine but will take upwards of 5 min to open. iPhone 11 and this happen on cellular and WiFi
