Forced Auto Play Videos
Yes, they give an option to turn off auto play on videos. Great. But then they update their app. The videos that would have played in the past still don’t play. But what they don’t tell you is they added a new video section in the middle of every article that you can’t stop auto playing. I hate auto playing videos because if you’re not careful with the volume they are loud and you need to remember to mute. Also, not everyone has unlimited data. The point of their new videos in the middle of the articles are to advertise other news articles, but still. Stop forcing videos.

Change
This app used to be one of my favorite news apps. Recently all the notifications get linked to a video. I personally would rather have an article than a video so that I could read it instead of waiting for a video to play and having to listen to it when I’m in public or out and about or having to have an AirPod in. This is completely useless to me. Please go back to the old format, otherwise this app is no longer useful.

App Will Open Videos When Closed
For now- 1 star. The app will open itself and play whatever videos are there (in the app). I’ve tried deleting reinstalling, force quitting apps, etc. I’m just going to delete it until the bug is fixed. It’s happening to me, coworkers, and neighbors. Either COX media group doesn’t care or they don’t know.
Also, would be 2/5 stars, too many ads, way to busy (too much unneeded stuff everywhere) for a news app, and dislike that that video player always there and can’t be hidden.

Could be better
I appreciate channel 11’s work but do have a couple of criticisms for this app. The first concerns the leading ads when displaying video. The default settings (at least for me) have the sound off and it sometimes is difficult to get the sound on. The answer is to start the news video with sound on and then run the ad after displaying the news content not before the story. Then we have the floating ads in the body of the text that cover over news content. Then we also have frequent examples of the link loading and no type at all displaying. So there’s my review it could be better.

Latest 8.8.12 Randomly Plays
The latest version of the app has some bugs in it. Randomly the sound from a video in the app starts playing, even when the app is closed and the phone is on silent. When in the app, the video at the top plays with sound. Sometimes it is playing twice over itself with one slightly delayed. Even when I push pause and the phone is on silent, the audio is still playing.

Br. Tobias Yott, O.S.B.
I get bored w/national & world news as the news seems to simply repeat itself for 2 to 3 days w/only a change in headlines. It’s like there is a lack of stories that deal w/ other topics than just wars or politics. The local news tells me of what’s going on around me. There are many more human interest stories, most which deal with topics that effect me. There could be more. Thanks & God Bless you.

Can’t get WPXI
WPXI has always been my favorite news station. Signing up for cable was only done after getting assurance it would be included. Needless to say it came as quite a shock when we found that it was no longer included with our cable a few years ago. Now I can only get it through my phone app. Quite disappointing.

Keeping on top of Current Events is a priority.
I read your news articles daily. They are well written. Keeping up on events around Pittsburg and current events in other areas of United States is my top priority. Also World Events are important to keep up with. I also enjoy hearing about my Pittsburgh Teams, Steelers, Penguins and the Pirates! Win or loose they be are my favorites! It is also nice to keep track of entertainment events around Pittsburgh.

WPXI app / video feed
I use this app quite a bit. Dont like the recent change that the video feed with sound starts automatically when the app launches. Please give us an option to turn this off.
Also please fix that the notification alerts go to the story for the notification.

This app isn’t bad I wish it was more up to date with new news. Since the last update tho I can’t get the news to not play every time I open a story to read it a broadcast starts playing and even when I hit pause or mute it continues to play sometimes even after I close the app it continues to play it’s very annoying. If I want to watch the news I’ll turn it on.
