I absolutely love this crew doing the news, weather and sports. They flow together so well. I enjoy the little flights of humor and their connection to my community. I opt for them any day! Love it
While scrolling, I find myself back up at the top of the page. This is so frustrating that I have considered deleting the app entirely, but I have talked myself into waiting on an update. Well I decided to check the reviews to see if anyone else has had the same issue. Yep. Seems that this has been a known issue for over TWO years. I guess they just don’t care to fox their known glitches. So I will be deleting. Not worth the hassle when there are other local news apps out there that update regularly and don’t have the same glitches.

Whenever I’m scrolling down through the news, the app will suddenly pop me right back at the top for no reason! Drives me crazy!! I tend to just scroll the news on the website. FYI, I use an iPhone 13 now but last was the XS Max, had same problems with both!
I only had to download this app because they are canceling the text service for school cancelations. When i opened the app it asked me to allow notifications, so I did because I need them for the weather. When I tried turning off the news notifications I realized there was not an option to do so unless I turn them off completely. This app is a waste of my time.

When scrolling through the news items, the ads get in the way. I frequently find that I’m unexpectedly back at the top item. Very challenging compared to other web pages using iPhone. Using a PC however doesn’t produce these navigation issues.
Did I miss something?? I did not see coverage of Trump in Marinette on your news program this morning (Friday) at 8:50 - 9:30.
News updates slow to come. Some stories never concluded. Always plenty of ads though. Just like their TV news and TV programming. Realizing it is a business but one 30 second story to every 4 minutes of ads is abusive.
It would be nice if you could watch more than 30 seconds of the live feed without the screen freezing and eventually just shutting off. Sections on the app are tough to find me navigation is difficult at best. I’ll watch WXOW in the morning!
Was a great app! Now the stories are old and there are a lot of video stories that I would like to read not watch (data charges). At this juncture it isn't worth the space on my phone.
Video feed keeps "sticking" and I have to refresh it from video play screen; very annoying...
I don't use this app all that much, but it's good for regional news and weather.
Would give it 5⭐️ if only Jen's pic was on the site. But after further review 2 stars. Pop up pop up pop ups way TOOOOOOOOOOO many
You are always the first new station I get on line that reports the breaking news even before my Milwaukee stations and national news sources. Keep up the great work.
Very professional with a down-home flair.
Love the app but if there was a purchase option to get rid of pop ups, that would be great.
Pop up ads ruined app. I will be finding something else. Could also use a better radar for weather but doesn't matter to me anymore
Pop up ads are horrible
Great app to read up on news. I love the detailed weather information also.
Used to be a decent news app but the video ads they put in the latest version ruined it. I've stopped using it.
Channel 8 news is always updated and the weather is right on. On like other weather apps. I love that you can watch the weather and news from your I Pod I pad I phone.. great source of news/weather
