Worst app ever
This is a terrible app. When it works, it is nice. The problem is, half the time it does not work. You know it is bad when WFMZ tells you to use a different local app. Absolute trash.

Lots of lag
I like having local news, but almost every time I click on a notification, the content is not found or the app’s opening splash shows up but never goes to content
Updated app Nov 2024
The new font is cramped but the line spacing is excessive. These condition make reading slower. Can you allow readers to choose a different font?
Great

Ads
I do not like the new set up for 69news ! !! As you are paging through and try to open an article it takes you in to an advertisement !!! I'm not interested in them . I want the news !!
Stop The Horrible Updates!
So, I live in Berks County and travel quite a bit. I downloaded this app to stay on top of current events even when I'm not home. It does give me a lot of information regarding local news however I need to see if there is a way you can stop constantly pounding me with headlines that someone died or got shot or was in a horrible accident or there was a horrible accident were kids died, and that is what I always seem to see when you push out your notifications. I am currently considering deleting this app but I am definitely stopping all push notifications because it all I am going to see is completely negative and disturbing news I don't want anything to do with it. Instead of every time there is a house fire or someone gets shot can you possibly put some nice local news every once in a while I mean the world is what it is but this seems to exacerbate the issues.
Ads get in the way
Whenever I try to read a story, ads always launch. It gets so annoying that I don’t go back to the app and just google the headline.

Claiming the user needs to update their App is a cheesy way to get a review.
Womanoftheword
Very good Apo
Fix it all
Everything must get better and faster. Traffic updates and alerts need to be more spot on!!!
Miss the Closing selection
I miss being able to only look at school closing and not having all business and township changes included. Can the differentiation be added back in?? I do like the favorites option. Thanks!!
News content is often stale
I would prefer more current updates of local news let alone business news and financial.
Meh
Liked the old version better. I think it was much more user friendly. Not crazy about the update.

New Format Not Good
This new format is not good. It’s hard to navigate to find the news I’m looking for. I liked just being able to scroll and now I have to tap and swipe and scroll just to find that I’m not in the right place anyway.

WFMZ iPhone app
The app is very slow to respond.
Good idea but...
The app is a great idea but the advertising ruins it. Love the alerts. Keep trying to make it better!!

New app
Do not like new app. Doesn't open on iPhone all the time. Give all app back
Love reading
Always checking up on the news when , away from home .
Truth
Your weather forecasting is really lacking. Seriously lacking.
Disappointed
I used to always get breaking news alerts from this app. Since I upgraded to the new version I no longer get them even though it's totally enabled in my settings. Please fix!! I loved knowing what was going on as it happened!
Hi
Hi
Favorite weatherman
I like Mat Lower a lot. He is differently on the ball with his weather forecast. I like the way he laughs and giggles, I think he would make a good Santa Claus. Something to think about next year ! Bob
I’ve acquired an Apple TV
Your app does not work on my Apple TV. Before getting the new tv I would watch 69 news from morning till 4pm. I miss watching my favorite programs. Can you explain why your station does nor work on my Apple TV?
It's ok, but need to clean it up
Duplicate and triplicate stories, no follow up when you say to refresh to follow this story, stories run to long
Big improvement
I used to hate this app. With the latest update navigation is improved, very easy on the eyes. Love it now.
