Leave a Review Indianapolis News from 13 WTHR
Terrible since update
I used to go to WTHR for my local news, but they never update the app for more local updates on stories. No way to look g.for topic specific news like local, economic, business or even local traffic. Getting updates on breaking stories should not take 24 hours! I am so disappointed in the new app. They are more interested in design than content. About to delete it and look for a better app for local news.Show lessCa-Meal
Weather
I miss the old format. It was easier to find things such as weather and click on what you wanted.DeanaJarn
Minimalistic news stories, mostly tabloid-style ads. Gross!
This app is now just trash. Don’t waste your time unless you like to see a lot of gross, tabloid style ads. The few news stories they actually put in here are poorly written and unhelpful. Sad effort on the part of WTHR. Very poor quality. I can’t even let me kids see the news on this app because of all the gross ads. Highly disappointed.Show lessJustkimmin
Leaving WTHR behind
Latest update: Still awful. The UI is horribly cluttered with ads, the pages don’t scroll well and are jumpy with the ads trying to load as you scroll, and it still just looks awful.
This new app is horrendous. When you scroll, there is little differentiation between stories and clickbait ads. The various channels that were in the old app are gone unless you scroll to the bottom, which is no good. Such a downgrade from the last app, so I won’t be surprised if they see users stop getting their news here based purely on the app alone.Show lessJohnnyCruse
Add Ap option to Apple TV
I tried to find the ap on my Apple TV but could only get the ap on my iPhone and iPad. I noticed other local stations had aps on Apple TV.Clint Ed
Hate the new app!
It is too hard to find what you are looking for. The old app was perfect, why mess with a good thing? Loved the traffic option too, if wanted to use Waze I would have downloaded it myself. So disappointed!Smpackers
New updated app is not good
Channel 13 is my go to channel for everything. News. Weather. Traffic. But since the update, I’m finding it more and more difficult every day to go to the app. Gone are the icons that lead me straight to the traffic. And this traffic map - it’s just plain horrible. I want to open up a tab that shows me traffic slowdowns in my area. I don’t want to use two fingers to zoom in or move the map. Go back to what you had! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it??!! 2020 is bad enough already.Show lessdskmom2210
Drains battery
I couldn’t figure out why my new iPhone 11 was dying so fast. My tech savvy 10 yr old daughter showed me how to check the battery usage and we found out the channel 13 app was using 78% of my power running in the background. The app was great for local Indy news I just wish they’d figure out the battery issue.Show lesswojery
Tragically disappointed
I’m so disappointed with this new update app!! The previous version had a great traffic tool where you could see traffic issues, zoom in on areas of considered travel, and plan accordingly. Now they’ve tethered any other app into the traffic and it’s not nearly as good and usable as before.
Another challenge I have is finding things. Previous app you quickly found where you wanted to go on the main page and it opened up. Now you scroll looking for what you hope to find. I’ve yet to find the “Live” TV box!
Epic fail by the developer and the station for releasing such a bad tool. I’ll be using another Indy station app until WTHR gets with the program and creates an easy to navigate app. So so so disappointedShow lessRural92
