WLWT News 5 - Cincinnati, Ohio Recenzje App

Why do the first five headlines always have to be about the weather? Can there be some actual news posted, too?

I enjoy the app. I do NOT enjoy the numerous notifications I did not ask for. In settings I have only selected severe weather and traffic, but I get random news notifications several times a day. Toggled on then off and I’m still getting them. Had to turn off ALL notifications to get them to stop. Is it really ALL or NOTHING?

Stop

The last few updates for this app have made it less usable than before. I’m frequently sent back to the main menu every time I click on an article to read. I may be on an article for like only 15 to 30 seconds before the main menu is reloaded. I hope they can fix this issue soon because I wonder if the app is no longer usable on older phones. I have an iPhone 11 if it helps the developer.

Every time I click an article, it returns me to the main page automatically after about 20-30 seconds. Hope they fix it sometime.

App crashes nearly every time I use it.

App is always crashing, open a news story and it goes back to the Home Screen or goes back to the top of the news area and you have to scroll through all the articles again until you get to the one you were trying to read. Radar map also won’t stay but, it auto closes and goes back to the home news screen.

Love all the channel 5 news team have watched it for 73 years.

Anytime I need the news if not on air, all I have to do is call WLWT news room. Yes, I can always get an answer to my concerns. They are pleasant to speak to. Never seem to be in a hurry to rush me off. They are the top reporters when it comes to NEWS. Thank you

The first thing I do every morning is to check this app and see what occurred overnight and get an unbiased view of local and world news.

You r the best news place I have ver watched and love. Thank you you guys are the best

This continues to get worse daily. You receive a notification of traffic problems near you and when you click on it you get a map of issues not at all relevant to your search. I have kids on the road and want to know what’s going on where I search. Whoever controls the traffic app needs to switch to something more befitting their experience.

Often had to delet the app and add it back. Only app I have this issue with

As I move away from cable and on to streaming, I am disappointed that this is not available on APPLE TV. I would like to see rebroadcasts of my favorite local news on my TV, not my iPhone. Please consider having your standalone app on APPLE TV…fyi, WCPO TV does!

Best weather app

This app is horrible. When you get an alert about a news story you might be interested in and click on it, it just takes you to the app and whatever the top story of the moment is. Not the story you wanted to read. Then it’s nothing but ads while you try and find the story you wanted. I am deleting this app.

I liked using the app to keep an eye on local news throughout the day. It used to be very informative, but lately the notifications have gotten very “clickbait-y.” It’s clearly not a character limitation because what needs to be said can be said in fewer characters than “open the app to see where.” It’s really turned me off. I get that clicks = ad dollars, but I will likely be looking for local news through other sources that don’t waste my time.

I have used channel fives app for years I have been very satisfied. It gives me accurate news but it’s been a little glitchy lately Other than that keep up the good work

WLWT is my go to for news and weather! Always on time and in the know!

Awesome news channel needs to cover mason Loveland / mainvil more not just Cincinnati !!

Always go to WLWT to check what the weather is going to be. They are the most accurate in the area. Also they have the most up to date on all the closings. Great weather station and the people seem very knowledgeable and friendly.

I don’t need notifications every time it is about to rain. This is annoying when the rain is off and on all day. There seems to be no way to turn it off.

I hate that it fails to work so often.

Literally your weather predictions are always ‘I don’t know’. I have no idea how you keep getting rated most accurate with weather because you never predict it correctly. I’ve cancelled something important twice now and both times because it was supposed to rain but didn’t. Now your forecasts always say ‘we don’t know but there’s a chance but there’s also not a chance so choose your poison.’ Worst weather predictors ever.

I deleted the app and installed it again. I haven’t been able to look at the weather. I’ve checked my settings and gave permission to everything. I’m so sick of this. Over 2 weeks now. It always worked before and I depend on it.

I watch online ad getting through all the commercials is maddening.

I really want to like this app. My primary issue is that stories in push notifications are nowhere to be found in the app. If I get the notification on my Apple Watch, the banner clears from my phone. I will still see the red notification badge on the app, but when I open the app without clicking on the push notification, 90%+ of the time I cannot easily find the corresponding story. If something is important enough to send a push notification, I should be able to find it on the app!

Take this app to higher level by placing the ads at the bottom or somewhere other than within the individual articles. Too tired of “accidentally” leaving the app for my browser to open because I touched the screen where a clickbait ad hadn’t even loaded yet.

This may be the most annoying app you can ever download. Several times each day it will alert you to breaking news which is anything except breaking news.

I tend to catch up on the news either as I lay dune at bedtime (only to open an article to read, waking my husband because it starts involuntarily playing the article video??) I never click on the videos as I am trying g to quietly read the articles while others are sleeping. I hate when you click on an article to read it, and blasting commercials then articles play. I have to completely turn off any volume before opening a every single article on your site. Often I forget to turn it back on. Frustrating.

STALE NEWS !!!! Terrible. You should be ashamed

I have watched wlwt all my life nothing else for my new and weather. But I will no longer sit back and watch the false far left not report real news. But that’s all media and news now other than fox 19 The will show you both side and facts not just opinions. It’s said that media/ news won’t let you get facts out. Or any real new

There is clear bias in all Media and reporting, especially recently. WLWT does a decent job about reporting the facts, however one can still clearly see the biased selection of stories making their way into headlines.

Why do you always make poor Bryan Hamrick always staying out in the crappy weather he looks like he’s freezing to death poor guy

Articles always stop in the middle of a ad and start back up with everything missing.

Since the update that was to fix problems, I can only open on iPhone by going to apple site for wlwt and open from there. Your update or fix actually broke it.

Great app for local news

I would rather just read news and not listen to reporters. I do appreciate content

Adds breaking up the story leaving you wondering what the article was supposed to be about, or just leaving you hanging without all the details.

It was good for a while and I didn’t mind it because if you wanted to view the “updates” then all you had to do was scroll to the top and click on the banner. NOW they banner is almost if not more annoying as the “pandemic” itself. Trying to read headlines and scrolling up only makes the banner take up over half the screen. Get your wannabe updates about COVID off the screen and allow the people to be able to read the news without you shoving this overrated COVID crap in their face.

This news service is excellent! Great factual stories without wordiness. Up to the minute news stories, not old ones. Also, good; the human interest stories are great to read. The weather part is factual and current plus the Futurecast weather is very good, timely and accurate! Keep it up.👍

Articles are cut off mid sentence with an advertisement and aren’t continued afterwards

App works I can say that much. But really, I get notifications for a breaking news story and it’s followed by days old news stories from every where. One day should be enough for stories that are local news for me. The news cast itself is in my opinion okay nothing special. I like Lester Holt and NBC news that’s why I’m sure to watch last 30 minutes of the daily news on WLW Cincinnati.

Example The stolen smoker. The story line said it was found but when clicking the old initial story played- nothing about the finding and return. This happens more frequently than not

on top of news just wish they would cover franklin county indiana more we are as close if not closer to Dearborn

I love the reporting but the effort to actually read the articles is getting more and more frustrating. Even after closing an ad it’s footprint blocks the last words of a paragraph. It’s a big deal.

Keeping up with today’s news. I love watching Sharee & Mike. They are the best...hands down.

Is there a way to change the looping time on the radar? I don’t need to see a 6 hour loop. That’s ridiculous. If it can’t be changed in the app then fix this please. **follow up ** still looping 6 hours. To add to it, the radar doesn’t even work have the time now. Ridiculous! Moving on to another channel app now.

The interactive radar on my iPhone 8 has stopped working. Only a white screen appears. I delete and re-installed the app. No different.
