  • News Wins, Weather Loses

    The new app has a better presentation for the news, but the weather features took a hit. The WNYT app fabulous worldwide weather and locational services (weather “where you are now,” or pick a city, or “your location pinpointed on the radar”) are gone. That’s a serious loss.
  • Charlotte Sena

    Thank you, Brian and Chrissy for your coverage of Charlotte Sena’s kidnapping. I can’t stop thinking about it. I had a cousin who was abducted, sexually molested, and shot back in the 80s…Kari Lynn Nixon. Her assailant was Robert Jones, who is still in prison to this day, and was just denied parole in August. I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison. We can never become too complacent. Your discussions are very meaningful and greatly appreciated!

  • Commercials

    I enjoy this app, but when you click on a news story and the commercial immediately starts to play; it’s just too much.
    When you’re in a quiet situation and you want to read the article, the video or commercial bursts through your phone.
    And you’re left scrambling to lower the volume or pause it.
    They need to fix that.

  • Impressively Disappointing

    The short and uninformative articles are not updated frequently enough, particularly on the weekends. They aren’t spell or grammar checked, though they always take the time to boast about how all 4 sentences of the article were “posted here first”. The radar only works when the skies are clear, and goes completely blank anytime there is any precipitation, which I suppose is at least predictable enough to tell me if I need to close the windows. The app freezes all of the time because it’s so bogged down with ads and it needs to load those first. Today, a school day at 8am, they are still showing the live weather forecast from 22 hours ago.

  • A Complaint

    Seem to loose my connection on a regular basis when watching live and have to re-start. Do not have that problem with other local stations.
  • Abrupt Need to Reload

    I have had this app for a long time, BUT I really wish they would do something to fix to no warning stop in broadcasting. It’s not timed to a commercial break, just smack in the middle of the weather, or sports, or regular newscast. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked for updates, and (sigh) downloaded competitors apps so I can watch a full news broadcast uninterrupted, but the problem still exists. WNYT is my favorite, PLEASE fix your app!!!!
