WDTN
This app is good Need to live stream the news 4 5 6pm 10pm 11pm And early in the mornings too More
No live news😋
Just worked a double shift at AK steel finally took my first break at 8:00pm to watch “know to grow” opened this app to an ad then opened “watch now” to another ad then to my great disappointment I was given news from 5pm. WOW I thought I had gone through a wormhole and ended up going back 3 hours but unfortunately no. Morale of the story if you want live news don’t come here unless you want to learn about Epstein and day old news.
WDTN News App
Hello, about 2 weeks ago I started having issues accessing the news app. Every time it comes up when I click on a news story, it is wanting me to choose selections for receiving Breaking News, Local News, Weather, etc. I cannot get past this setup. I have deleted and reinstalled the app hoping that would alleviate the problem but it didn’t. I tried calling but there does not appear to be a dedicated phone number for technical support. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Tracey, Dayton, OH
Video Auto Start
I don’t mind the app BUT I can’t stand how videos automatically start. It is super annoying when I’m trying to check out the weather forecast, for example, and the video starts blaring (especially when I’m trying to use the app inconspicuously).
Filled with Ads & Poor Audio Control
This ap is filled with cheesy and misleading ads for miracle cures, etc. Not what I want in a news ad. Also, audio automatically plays when you click on a news story—even when you turn your sound off. Volume must be on lowest level and sound off. Competing news channel app much better.
WDTN
the ONLY news i’ll watch in Dayton!
giant font
tried wdtn 2 news after too many issues with channel 7 news app on iphone. News article articles are in some kind of giant font. I get two words per line. I tried the icon for smaller font, it makes no difference. App is pretty useless. Dayton doesn't seem to have a good news app. Using iPhone XR.
Just 1 thing
Would like for Kelly King to stop interjecting the “uh’s “ when she is reporting .
Notifications
Please stop sending an update every hour!! I receive up to 5-8 updates a day!! Sometimes more! They are no more informative than regular news. The actual info is fine, but low rating for all the time it takes to delete them in my mail. Now I’m deleting one more- the app!
Works fair
I have a iPad error. Every time I turn this on it says slide up and when I do it says weight and sometimes it never comes on he just wait need some work done on other times it stops for no reason sometimes it comes back on sometimes it doesn’t. It’s either the cable service or the app.
No more print
Lost my last local newspaper. This website is filling the loss nicely
Pop ups and click bait
If you enjoy lots of pop ads and click bait, this is the app for you!
Minimal sports
Nice recap of local news. Sports heading still has Operation Football. Not any current high school scores or stories. Minimal College or professional news either.
Confusing and not easy
Not user friendly, info hard to navigate to find.
Review
Less weather, more sports. Jack & Hutch are great. You don’t seem to realize how many Steeler fans reside here.
WDTN News App
Don’t know what you did, but this app is absolutely useless! When I try to get rid of the swipe screen, it closes the app altogether! I have tried for the last five minutes to read a news story to no avail. Used to work on both my iPad and iPhone. It doesn’t, can you please fix this?
Awful - download WHIO instead
Worst app on my phone right now
TV2
This is the best local news channel. I really enjoy it. Good job, guys!:)
Poor Design
Navigating on this app is a nightmare. Hard to dismiss ads and actually get to the stories. After all this work I’d love to get more than 1 or 2 sentences about the story. Using it less and less and relying on other sources.
Needs Improvement
WDTN is the channel I’ve watched for years, but if I watch it on the app, it skips and repeats way too often, or it just shuts down. My daughter heard it doing it and asked if it annoyed me. I told her yes. I’ve started watching WHIO on their app because their’s doesn’t do that.
Great news app
Great news app
Embarrassingly Left
They have become so liberal and one sided and biased! I only have the App for breaking news and I like Jamie for weather!
Alert Fatigue
As described in other reviews, the interface isn’t nearly as slick and intuitive as it could be. But the big problem, in my view, is with push notifications. Just because you *can* send your users a news alert doesn’t mean you *should*. I appreciate the occasional alert related to a specific local traffic or weather event or to a significant breaking news story. But please don’t use push notifications to remind me to watch your impending newscast, or to tease some inane story, or to announce that Jeopardy is starting a half-hour early to accommodate special Olympics coverage. It’s obnoxious, and each extraneous alert brings me a little closer to deleting the app. Please exercise a little restraint.
No “Live Feed”
The “live feed” does not work. I tried to watch The 6 pm while I was away from the house and it was not working. I even tried when I got back to the house and it still did not work. Weak app
Not Impressed either
You should have left a good thing alone. You also need to teach people how to proofread their articles and use spell check. It is horrible the misspelling of words and the in ability to construct a sentence.
Review
TooTo political only one sided very far left all news people need to really rethink it and be fair people all you talk about was the opposite person running for president how wonderful they are well let’s see what a great job they can’t do
iOS 8 update please..no auto videos
App crashing, videos play on clicking an article, unable to see the article. If I wanted to watch the news I would do so. I don't want to see the videos and not be able to read the news.
not news
just watched something on are president and what the headline said had nothing to do with the interview. so not gun friendly or country friendly news source
