## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2024-10-05*

Tried to open today and it closed right away. Won’t work.

### 1/5 — App does not work with the voiceover screen reader

*2023-04-20*

Voiceover cannot find or recognize the "back" button, which means there is no way to back out of a news story to the stories list.

### 1/5 — Stop crashing

*2020-10-19*

It would be great to be able to read through a story without the app crashing over and over. You can do better than this.

### 1/5 — Hate the new version

*2019-01-06*

What happened to National news?
Don’t like this version; I preferred Illinois and National news.  And I hope they update this app more than once per month.  The previous app got really stale.

### 2/5 — COVID UPDATES

*2020-05-20*

I am getting tired of the every 2 minutes in the afternoon updates on covid numbers by county. I like the breaking news being pushed out this way but I am going to delete the app if these continue.

### 3/5 — Commercial Breaks & WAND NOW

*2025-12-21*

The TV app needs music (or something) playing during commercial breaks - the dead silence is deafening and leads users to change the app/channel to something else. Also, the “WAND Watch Live Now” option needs renamed as the news reports are not always “live” and usually the most recent earlier broadcast.

### 3/5 — Poor performance

*2025-01-20*

This app has very poor performance.  It often will not even open or will kick you out of the app and just shut down.  Event when the app works but anymore it doesn’t work more than it does work

### 5/5 — News  with respect

*2026-06-29*

I applaud you all for being considerate of those who might be suffering’s loss or tragedy.

### 5/5 — The best…

*2023-08-24*

Best news and weather on the TV, seems like family to me. I’ll be 90 on my birthday so you are company to me. Best wishes to everyone..

### 5/5 — Sportscaster

*2019-10-18*

Mark Pearson is the best sportscaster in Middle America. Through all my years I haven’t seen anyone with more pizzaz and journalistic integrity. Thanks for your dedication to presenting the news!
