Good
I’m updating the app right now recently I’ve had problems with using the interactive radar but I don’t know what’s to come.
Issues
The app is incredibly glitchy! I will click on a news story and suddenly the app switches back to the top of the news feed. This happens multiple times when trying to view one story until by the third or fourth time I can finally read a story. Also when scrolling down on the news feed, the app will pop back up to the top of the news feed, so I have to scroll back down again. I’m seriously considering switching to another local news app because this one is awful! Someone needs to do a better job editing/proofreading before posting stories. There’s been a number of times I have found spelling errors or misplaced words. It looks unprofessional. The app has often frozen when I’m trying to view a particular story. I’ve had to shut down the app and then open it back up. Otherwise it’s a decent app.
Baby formula
Why don’t you tell the people that the government has warehouses full of formula for the illegals coming across the boarder
Weather alerts
This is very helpful to me. Thank you for making it available.
Ads are too long…
30 second ads for every news article??? Are you insane? Too many other news apps with better formats to use so this app will now get deleted.
Best in the Area
Better than WCAX TV 3
Way too many ads
I try to watch the weather update quickly and I have to go through 3 sets of ads (6 mins total). It nearly makes the app unusable.
Weekends need help
We often try to watch the 6pm news on the weekend. It is often the case that when we tune in at 6pm we get a recording of the morning broadcast or nothing at all. It’s disappointing but we can move on to another station to get the news. I also think you need to change the title of your lead ‘First Warning Weather.’ It always sounds like ‘First Morning Weather.’ Maybe make it ‘First Alert Forecast’ or ‘Your WPTZ Forecast.’ It needs a change.
Wptz.
I do like wptz now that it has. Moved from Saranac lake to Plattsburgh. It seems to be more informative about local happenings, music is extra special.. lake clear person.
That’s very helpful
Try to set a location it tells me there is no such place as Hartford, Vermont I guess if it’s not Burlington or Plattsburgh they just don’t give a damn… 👎👎👎
Always Informed
I am so glad I have this app. I appreciate getting alerts and weather. I miss more Plattsburgh news.
Hope you have awhile
When I try to pop on and catch the weather quick, or see a alert or breaking news, yeah that’s not happening. First you go to a ad...which most of the time takes forever to load, then maybe you will get where you want to go. I rated it, because I really want a app with my local news and weather. I hope it improves.
News
Too much Vermont news what about N.Y.?
Rutland co.
Looking for more coverage of the Rutland And the lakes region News and weather 🎤
Sensationalized Broadcasting
This app and broadcast is just full of sensationalized information… especially the morning weather broadcast. Full of misinformation and volcanic style broadcasting to scare viewers. What happened with those cataclysmic storms and predictions that never seem to unfold? Just download a national weather app (for accuracy) and other local news apps. Also, the continued use of the micro aggression, “guys”, is a symbol of exclusion on your customer base rather than inclusion. Didn’t you get the memo? 🤦♀️
Good App
Like to check on news a couple times a day and this app is clear and brief
Not much interest in it
Few articles of interest—way too few local news articles. Can’t cast to TV only air-play which only works half the time. Weather up-dates aren’t up to date. They are often hours behind. Needs lots of improvement in how it is used not in it’s physical operation. Everything seems to function fine and easy to switch back and forth.
Needs improvements
It’s the only game in town here in Vermont. So it should work flawlessly (the app crashes from time to time), and the news bulletins should be relevant. Im not interested in being alerted on “feel-good” stories. I’m also not interested in being alerted on news that’s happened 3 or more days ago and has already been aired on WPTZ-TV. Please don’t use the notifications as an advertising gimmick!
Weather Radar/live news
The radar part does not always work as the screen goes gray. Sometimes the live news is black and your hear the news and advertisements at the same time.
Weather dept
Wptz needs to adjust there temperature map of the 10 day forecast.a lot of my co workers and myself find the nightly temp hard to discern,it should be moved to where it’s between day highs and not below ,will be less confusing for your viewing audience.I’ve been watching since bird berdan,should be an easy fix, thank you
Good stuff
Yup good stuff
WPTZ App
The app sends me an notification and when I slide on it, half the time it crashes and doesn’t open. Please fix it.
Regarding the MyNBC5 app
Enjoying this app. I Look at it at least once a day for weather update and Local news. It’s very handy to have, since I can’t get channel 5 news anymore.
Adds
When Parker Chevrolet is gone, let me know. Parker won’t be there because the app no longer loads on my ipad.
Nice
It is nice to get an app that has the weather for the town i live in, i live in canaan, vt and we dont usually see many weather reports for our little town. So Good job, keep up the good work
Behind the times
Seems as though for the major news agency in the area it would be more up to date. Lots of old stories that never get taken down and new stories that never seem to make it on the app until it is too late. Very slow in updating the stories and miss many relevant stories
WPTZ
The only local news channel I watch # 1 WPTZ and the other #1 channel I watch is MSNBC 👍🏼
Rating wptz
Very biased reporting. Too many irrelevant out of region stories.
Great, but morbid alerts
I love this app, and find the weather alerts extremely useful and accurate. However, I had to deactivate alerts because they'd been sending daily alerts of every fatality happening in VT or any shocking / upsetting news on a daily basis. Life is stressful enough. Who needs a constant barrage of more bad news?! "If it bleeds, it leads" is an awful reality.
Do not like the layout
The presentation is too busy and not well laid out. Trying to locate news stories can be fatiguing.
Great job
My children live in Plattsburgh and this site keeps me up-to-date on local news give my thanks to the technicians and engineers
Updates have made this app unusable
Two updates ago we lost our ability to read each topic- it switched to video only. The last update left me with a gray screen and no info loading.
Ok app/ too many ads
I hated this app when it first changed but it does give you limited North Country News. The format does not flow well and I still find myself having to work at finding local news. Way too many Ads that stay the same for months. Same video ad over and over each time you watch a video. Very annoying. Pages do not get updated enough, especially on weekends. Ex: after Kentucky Derby there was news about before the race for a week or two. Come on you can do better than that. Lately the Venus Williams story has been on there for ever! Please it's not news if it's weeks old.
Great Team
Love, love, love this team !!! I’ve been watching them for years, still miss George Mallet 💕 Tom and Stephanie are the best !!!
Weather
The old weather format was MUCH better. I could see sections at a glance, not have to scroll through constantly. Everything else is five star.
Re
A somewhat local read however, truly biased in reporting.
Love the NBC5 app
It’s how,I get most of my news now. Love you guys!
Alerts are the only good
The only thing good about the app is the push alerts. Other then that the formatting on how information is presented does not flow well. You should check out others in the area how they have their app setup. Lots of irrelevant info. :(
Big use of battery and space
This app uses a lot of battery, and space, on my iPad... unnecessarily, in my opinion. I have tried to limit, or eliminate, background access to the app but have not been able to do that to my satisfaction. I still see 5-6 hours of battery usage when my iPad has been off for most of the day. As a northern New Yorker, I use the app only for its weather section (which is good, therefore some stars). It would be nice if there was a way of emptying the app and controlling the background usage. As it is, I delete the app regularly, then have to set it up again.
