Crashing. Again…

Love having access to local news. Hate the app. When it works, it’s great. It doesn’t always work. Has been this way for a long time, but I guess I’ll survive. Fix it if you can…

Problems w/app itself.

Too many pop ups. App will freeze and lock up phone. You can’t read articles without something else popping up. Videos are even worse.

Close ad to start with

Sketchy layout and hit with ads first thing. Could be better if they put in some Siri suggestions to access certain parts quick. Don’t think I’d recommend.

Surrender

This app could not be worse even if you tried. Surrender, it’s time to start over and build a new app from the ground up. Look at your competitors 21 & 55 and try to do better than them. After you complete your effort, have real people try it out before you release another app that is an embarrassment to the professional on air teams creating the product.

Politically bias

I like Wane for the local news. But OMG enough with the political bias! We get it. You’re anti anything Trump. WE. GET. IT. Ok? Now if you don’t mind spilling the truth rather than propaganda, it’s greatly appreciated.

Excessive ads

I’m tired of being bombarded with ads. Wane 15 is sooooo bad. 30 second ads before each video. A 10 second video. Then you can’t skip and are forced to watch it over and over and over. I’m OVER ads

Cannot access news

Since last update app freezes at finding location screen. Both my wife’s and my iPhone doing same thing.

Ms Nancy

I love your news n weather! But I would love to know how much rain falls over nite or daytime. Or tell me where to find that data, please.

Ads open with only the slightest touch

The app itself isn’t bad, but if you even so much as touch their sponsored ads, the ad opens in your default browser immediately. May not be a problem for some, but it drives me batsh1t crazy. Won’t be long before I delete it permanently.

Preferred NEWS Provider// accept multiple ADS

I’m so disappointed to repeatedly be bothered by MULTIPLE ADS with pop up pages websites(I’ve lost count).

I don’t use App as often —because horrible experience!! Being harassed by multiple Ads disappoint & create a negative experience.

Great to Have but Doesn’t Work Well

It’s great to have the news in an app. However, this app has some major issues! Reading the news this morning, a pop up add (which opens up in a web browser) was initiated four times when trying to click the back button. Also, clicking back in some other areas brings you back to the top of the page so you have to scroll back down again and again to get to through all the news. I have never reviewed an app before but this one is so annoying to use that I felt it necessary. It’s better to just use the webpage instead of the app for Wane TV.

Weather problem

WANE 15 weather morning and noon weather casts.
On the tv screen, during the forecasts, there is a small box in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This box says WANE 15 with the current(?) temperature and the current time…as expected the time is always current and correct. On the other hand, the “so-called” current temperature is NEVER CORRECT‼️🙃For instance, the on-air picture and meteorologist said 50* and the box continued to say 47*‼️Why can’t these two be compatible ❓❓This bugs me every day.

Re President review

What we don’t need is more pro-Trump propaganda.

Ads ruined this app for me.

This is the best local news, but the ads made me delete the app. Any time I would click on an article, using the app on my phone, I would instantly be taken to a Safari webpage of a spam ad tracker page. Safari notified me it prevented 58 trackers from profiling me. I started getting a lot of spam after that. I deleted your app, reinstalled and same problem. I tried using your website instead, same problem. I don’t have this issue with other local news apps or websites. I really hope you can get better ads and not these bad ones that track your viewers and create spam.

Too many pop ups

This app used to be great to catch up on local news and weather. Recently every time i tried to read a story it opened the App Store more than 4 times! I understand that the app is supported by ad revenue, but I feel that’s a bit excessive.

Nothing but Ads…No Real Substance

I have deleted this before and reenacted it before and deleted it again and again and again. This is a very poor news site. Just a bunch of advertisements. You can’t really get what is truly live news.It’s all about capitalism with ads and cute YouTube type stories. Apparently, that’s what people want right now?

App Constantly Freezes

You open an article, try to scroll down and it is frozen and times out. Tried deleting and downloading again, same thing.

The stability of this app is not good

I tried to open it this morning and all you see is the splash screen with the line “coverage you can count on”. Apparently the the app you can’t count on working.

Disappointing

Stop freezing!!!

I love the WANE app WHEN IT WORKS!!! I’ll try to click on a notification and it freezes instantly, I try to shut down the app and go straight through the app it freezes. I can’t look at anything, and it drives me insane. Please fix it

This app is trash

The app was good but the new video at the top of the story is trash.
