Lacking in the News Department
Normally I have good things to say about the WLWT news team. However, the app is frustrating. Apart from the numerous adds that pose as news stories, the alerts are misleading. If you are going to send an alert to my phone, then I should be taken to a story that is related to the alert when I click on it. Unfortunately, the alerts do not represent actual stories or even information that can be found on the newsfeed. Seems like a strange way of reporting news.

To many commercials
Top news and most accurate weather in city. Just to many commercials when you use app. When people come to catch up on news and weather we don’t always have time for all the commercials. I understand that they pay to advertise and keep the app available but it is just to much to have to watch them all the time.

Videos
I think this app is good for weather & news. The only thing I don’t like is videos or ads always come up when trying to read news. I find it distracting. I have a child with special needs & the ads or videos automatically coming up is upsetting to him. I wish there was a way for those to not automatically come up.

My Go-To News App!
Visit the site many times throughout the day to stay on top of things. I appreciate getting the latest news from my favorite reporters, Newscasters and, of course, weather/traffic. Not always easy to watch a while broadcast on the app - but it what I need out for. Will watch full 30-60 mins at home. But for "on the go" and updates, WLWT is my main source. Congrats on the Emmy's, too! Especially for the 53 Story. Blessings - a Loyal Viewer

Stories are held for weeks
Weather radar is great. But some news articles are kept for a month. Need to change the news everyday. The entertainment section is like that and national news. One story was on it for 6 weeks. Love that you can watch newscast anytime
Disappointed
Sometimes breaking news is not really “breaking “ as it has already been broken by another station. I really dislike the idea that they have of leaving the main part of an announcement off so you have to open the article. Annoying and makes me use my Fox19 App in order to see the headline without even having to open it. Sometimes I know by the headline if I even want to read the article. Weekend updates of weather are not always punctual in the early morning hours. I do like the news anchors and the weather team though, which is why I still use the app.

Radar is 8 minutes old!
After having been hit by the tornado in 1999, I am always keeping track of storms when they come through. But with the radar the images are always 8 minutes behind! A lot can happen in that short period of time! Why isn’t it more current? I do find that the forecast is more accurate than those by other statistics, and I like the meteorologists!
The anchors have fun together and are great together.

Love it but.....
I love my WLWT news app. Very easy to use and informative. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that sometimes we get “alerts” for silly things. I think alerts should be kept for important info we need to know quickly.
Too much video
Those of us who have slow internet have to wait too long for the stories to load because of the video. Take a look at WCPO’s website that separates the video from the print. Otherwise you have informative and accurate coverage.
Not breaking news
When I receive a breaking news alert, the link is never on the app at that exact moment. I have to wait at least 5-10 minutes after I receive the notification for it to appear on the app.
