However, the stories aren’t dated and sometimes are several days old. I don’t mind the older stories. However, I’d like to see the date when they were posted prominently displayed. ### 3/5 — Weather News *2026-06-30, version 50.14.0* My thoughts In I want to hear the weather news and not some joker with stupid jokes and acts. Not sure of his name but I think he was at Channel 5 and now channel 3 ### 4/5 — You need a chat box for UCSS *2026-06-12, version 50.12.0* I love the live show for UCSS, but can we get them a chat option so I don’t have to go back and forth from YouTube and the Channel 3 Apt, PLEASE???!!!! ### 2/5 — Audio issues *2026-04-24, version 50.9.1* I have to stop using. The commercials are twice as loud as the broadcast. It hurts my ears. (Firestick) If you fix, I will come back! Love Danita! ### 2/5 — This used to be my favorite *2026-04-15, version 50.8.8* I really liked the older version of this app, it would allow me to use my iPad and the app would rotate with the iPad. Now it is only viewable in the vertical mode, which is inconvenient. So I switched to another channels news app as my primary. If they can fix the issue, I will be back. ### 2/5 — App no longer works on TV *2026-04-13, version 50.8.3* I notice the upgrade to the app on my mobile, but the app is no longer working on my smart TVs. I tried updating, deleting and reinstalling the app on 2 my TVs; but still not working. I LOVE watching the GO! Team each morning, but now I can’t. Any thoughts on what to do? ### 4/5 — DVR FUNCTION *2026-02-19, version 46.5.2* The Dvr function quit working weeks ago I enjoyed watching the morning crew when ever I could get to it. ### 3/5 — Slow *2025-07-11, version 46.5.2* App is slow to open and it is hard to zoom in on any photos for clarity. Too many ads. You have to watch a 30 second ad for a 15 second video. ### 1/5 — worst app I have *2025-04-30, version 46.5.2* tonight, I received an alert on my phone there was a tornado warning it has taken longer than five minutes to get to it to find out if I’m in danger. I watched numerous commercials and “be right back after this short break”s I ran downstairs and turned on the TV to get the real news ### 5/5 — Happy to watch WKYC Again! *2025-02-10, version 46.5.2* We’ve returned to Northeast Ohio after being away for some 30 years. It’s great to see the reporters and anchors doing such a great job on this station. Keep up the great work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Reset *2026-08-04, version 50.19.0* What have you done?!? This used to be my instant go-to app for news on anything local. You had breaking stories right away. All the info I would need. Now I open the app and almost everything is from days ago. Which makes you totally useless to me now. ### 1/5 — Bring back the old app *2026-07-01, version 50.14.0* Hate the new WKYC app. So much of what was there is gone. No ability to look at news by area. The Indians section used to show the schedule, the standings, the current major league scoreboard - now there’s none if that. WKYC’s app now looks like the generic NBC apps across the country - lousy. Bring back the old app! ### 1/5 — It’s a Very Meh App *2026-04-29, version 50.9.1* The app runs very smoothly but the problem it has zero detailed functionality. If I want to look up sports stories I have to scroll and hope it’s the next one. If I government or entertainment, again, just scroll and hope you get lucky on the next one. They moved The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show here from YouTube and on YT I could easily find the videos I wanted to watch but here again just scroll and get lucky because the videos tab is wildly unhelpful cuz again it’s just random videos. TLDR; if you don’t use the app often it’s fine but if you need to find specific information it’s impossible because there is zero organization or categorization of information from the user that we can filter ### 1/5 — Bad app. *2026-04-18, version 50.8.8* Trying to find UCSS on this site is impossible. It is like WKYC does not care. Forget it ### 1/5 — Version 50.8.3 still won’t show in landscape *2026-04-07, version 50.8.3* Newest update still doesn’t work in landscape mode on an iPad. Not worth the hassle so deleting. ### 1/5 — Version 50.8.2 won’t show in landscape *2026-04-01, version 50.8.2* Newest update doesn’t work in landscape mode on an iPad. ### 1/5 — Not for iPad *2026-03-31, version 50.8.2* Latest update now makes this app a partial screen instead of full screen mode. Unacceptable. I will now go to channel 5 app which gives me full screen mode. ### 1/5 — Went downhill *2026-03-11, version 46.5.2* Was my go to. Somehow it has gotten too complex. Very difficult to bring up “watch now”. Tried FOX 8. So much easier to use. Sorry to say goodbye to Betsy. I’ll really miss her forecasts. ### 1/5 — Went downhill *2026-02-19, version 46.5.2* Was my go to. Somehow it has gotten too complex. Very difficult to bring up “watch now”. Tried FOX 8.

Best station on tv in our area. Don’t change a thing and keep up the GOOD WORK! ### 5/5 — More News less glitches *2026-01-25, version 46.5.2* WKYC app has improved with more news and less glitches. Content streaming online may not exactly match broadcast content. ### 5/5 — Love the folks on this channel *2025-10-22, version 46.5.2* Great weather forecasting ### 5/5 — Love WKYC *2025-10-07, version 46.5.2* I’m originally from NE Ohio and have moved with my husband 8 times across the country, 4 states. We now reside in St Augustine, FL and still watch WKYC 6pm news every night. We have been doing this since our first move. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-06-23, version 46.5.2* It has been my go to for all the news and weather. Betsy Kling and our son Chris used to play together when they were small. Love that you use hometown people. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-04-25, version 46.5.2* The best news in Ohio --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
