Not good

I don’t know what they did to this app, but it used to be OK. Now it’s not very good at all. The interactive weather map doesn’t work well. It keeps repeating the same weather pattern every hour or so. There’s no search feature on the app to look up stories. It’s just not very well designed or functional.

Way too many moving adds

Its impossible to actually read the articles as there are constant moving ads between every paragraph. I get you need ads for revenue, but this is too much. I’ll read the news from a venue where ads are not so distracting.

Improved

Much improved from the last app!

Terrible app

There isn’t any place on the app to search for stories. I mean, who doesn’t include a search function? But maybe more importantly, a huge local story broke today about freedom of speech and they chose not to cover it. Presumably for political reasons. Very biased reporting.

Bigger lettering

The text needs to be bigger

News

Love the upbeat and pleasant attitude of the staff. Covers all the important issues. Accurate weather forecast. Brad Panovish is up on all the issues of the days and weeks. I trust his judgement. Love the smiles and enthusiasm of all reporters.

Awful app

It’s as if a middle schooler made this App. The only thing you can get updates on are local news, and it doesn’t change very often. The weather portion is worthless. To have a such a strong meteorological team that people depend on, your app doesn’t help with getting the info across. There are still glitches with the app. No preferences can be updated. I’ll be deleting this app and sticking with the WBTV app to get the local and national news.

Needs a dark mode now

Bring back the purple and blues or at least add a dark mode option

Doesn’t rotate on iPad

Please fix your app. Something happened recently, where now it doesn’t rotate when the app is opened on my iPad. It stays in portrait mode. Thank you

Fix The Weather in the App

The new app is trash for weather. The weather only shows the highs, not the lows. The article that talks describes the weather is not found in the weather section. The weather sections just has a ton of random videos.

Still doesn’t update

I have to force the app down and then reopen to get current data!

Doesn’t work since update!

I have to force this down every day to get current information!

Hate the update

The new update is horrible, hate the app now. Bring back the previous version.

Local

I enjoy being able to get information from my county, not just Charlotte area.

App is awful.

The app freezes.. and it hasn’t been updated in a very long time. Also, now that nexstar is taking over, expect a crazy amount of bias in the reporting. Going to miss the weather team tho.

News

Every once in a while, I like to get caught up on the local news and weather. Your people did a great job. Thanks!

WCNC

I am amaze of how prompt and acertive this channel is. Keep the good job. I love it.

Be Weather Alert

We enjoy checking weather/news quickly before continuing our day, thank you very much!

Nice app

Well laid out

The biggest storm to hit the area in 22 years and they’re mostly streaming commercials!
