I can’t access the app if the scroll up advertisement won’t go away. Just add a close button or get rid of it completely. There is other ways to advertise without having to do so before you can get access to the news or weather. I don’t understand why this is the only news app makes you do this especially if it doesn’t work half the time. ### 2/5 — Real news *2026-02-23, version 504.0.0* wish you would do more research and tell both sides of Demoncrats and republicans. We only hear from one sides but never the Republican sides. Hear all the radical people that get killed but never the innocent that get murdered by illegals. Need to tell the truth about tariffs. We were being charge more to export than what we were bringing in. Demoncrats owned slaves Republicans fought to free us. You can’t go b what just Demoncrats say and have going on. Both party watch your news. ### 2/5 — Unnecessary ads *2025-05-06, version 500.8.0* After receiving a weather alert with a tornado warning, I had to watch an ad to get more information. ### 2/5 — Why so many ads 😩 *2025-04-22, version 500.8.0* I just need a local news app - this one gives me all the information and happenings, but just to open it I have to clear an ad. And then it just continues.. It is hard to distinguish stories from the many pop ups. UGH. ### 2/5 — Can’t turn off unimportant notifications. *2025-02-06, version 500.7.0* The app has settings for toggling certain types of notifications on/off, but it still sends unimportant notifications even when ‘breaking news’ is the only one enabled. I want notifications about important news, not an advertisement to check out an undercover investigation about restaurant reservations. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Delay *2025-01-06, version 500.7.0* I give this low because it never she the news it always says they will be back and never show the news. No live nothing 😡😡😡😡 ### 3/5 — Frozen *2024-11-06, version 500.6.0* App freezes up a lot for me. ### 3/5 — Ok app *2024-05-19, version 500.3.0* I would really love to be able to swipe left or right to get to the previous/next article instead of having to press back 😒 ### 2/5 — App doesn’t work well with IOS *2024-05-06, version 500.3.0* Why is the app optimized for android ? And not not iOS and android. There is no back button on an iPhone. When reading articles IOS users have to manually scroll to the top of the screen and press back to exit the article. ### 2/5 — Needs an overhaul *2024-04-08* The app needs to be redesigned, it also needs to be fixed so that when exiting an article I should not be brought back to the top of the list of articles or have to keep pressing view more to get back to where I left off. This has been a major issue for at least 2 years now. I’m unsure why it has not been addressed and corrected. It’s bad enough there are tons of ads. ### 2/5 — SPAM Generator *2024-02-13, version 500.1.1* Totally unusable with all the SPAM and pop-up ads. ### 3/5 — Missing a step *2023-06-19, version 41.20.0* Not available on apple tv. When will this be available on apple tv. ### 2/5 — App isn’t showing current events *2023-04-21, version 41.20.0* The app has recently stop showing live news. After waking up in the morning, I like watch the morning news while getting ready for work. Well, for some reason the app is showing the news from the night before vice live morning news. Please fix this. I would love to watch current news and not previous news that I have already watched. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Latest UI not friendly *2022-12-26, version 41.16.0* On iPad it’s just a bunch of text lines, not attractive or easy to find interesting stories. May be better on other platforms. ### 3/5 — Good news, bad app *2022-10-01, version 41.13* The app is hard to navigate, has far too many popup ads, and isn’t visually appealing. Nevertheless, appreciate the local news updates. ### 2/5 — Lacking and… *2022-08-07, version 41.11* There are too many ads, that he app is lacking in fluidity, doesn’t seem to get updated as frequently as it should. I shouldn’t tap back on the app and it take me to the top of the last page I was on, it should be where I left off. ### 1/5 — Click bait app *2022-06-03, version 41.10* All this app does is provide a vehicle for advertisers to take you to there websites. Used it for 15 minutes the best I got was to read the headline on one news item. The rest was spent closing web sires and suddenly I was watching sports and had to delete and reload the app to get out of that. Pure garbage even for a free app. ### 1/5 — Auto clicks ads *2022-05-05, version 41.9* The worst offense of this app is that just opening the app (not scrolling or pressing anything) often opens safari (I.E. auto clicking an ad) This app is written and formatted around ads. Not, news with ads in it. But ads with news in it. Developer should be punished for these tricks and Lin Television should be ashamed of this product. ### 1/5 — Very prejudice against the Right! *2022-02-28, version 41.9* This station and its smirk attitude toward the new Governor and tries to ridicule anything he does before he even has a chance to help all Virginias! They do this just because of he’s party affiliations. The station does everything possible to stir up trouble, so they can sensationalize it, with their view point only! Just another example of how the media has ripped this world apart! I write this because I believe anyone and everyone has a write to treat as you want to be treated! Just because one’s views are different from others, should not give cause to yell, scream or commit fiscal harm or in anyway violate the constitutional rights! God Bless Robert Barnes ### 1/5 — Articles are biased *2022-02-22, version 41.8* Seeing more articles that only show one side of the story. Articles are resembling editorials more than News. Maybe WAVY should be using outside sources for articles less? I will be deleting your app and finding local news elsewhere. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was once wonderful bu now…. *2026-03-15, version 505.0.0* Sucks. You have to sign all your rights away just to watch a live streaming weather forecast. If you download this app, be sure to read ALL of the fine print!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-02-20, version 500.8.0* I got this app thinking I would be able to see the entire broadcast. That’s not an option. You get to pick snippets that are old news, more specifically, the weather. I can’t stream it because you have to pay to stream it. You would think with the page loaded down with ads it wouldn’t cost so much. ### 1/5 — Old News *2025-02-18, version 500.8.0* They never update the news or weather. Just checked a weather blog for the impending winter storm tomorrow and it is 7 hours old. Same with their "Latest News", 17-22 hours ago. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Sorry *2025-01-22, version 500.7.0* Where are the live cameras? ### 1/5 — Ads on Ads *2025-01-05, version 500.7.0* Nothing but crime and Ads. Worthless. Why not report on the good thing in the area. ### 1/5 — Not working well on iPad *2024-03-01, version 500.1.4* This update did not fix the iPad problem from the last update. ### 1/5 — Proble *2024-02-28, version 500.1.1* I cant get past the first window with sign up for breaking weather hope it gets fixed ### 1/5 — Not opening *2024-01-14, version 500.0.3* I just updated the app and now will not open on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-11-01, version 41.14* The organization of this app is awful. Should be redesigned completely. ### 1/5 — Impossible *2022-06-24, version 41.10* This is the least efficient news app. The headlines are interesting but once you open the app you can never find the story it initially sent you a notification for. Even when it’s breaking news, it’s often impossible to get the Home Screen to link properly. 0 stars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My review Ethon Coach *2021-01-11, version 40.35.570056958* Fair and unbiased and accurate!

I can easily follow Virginia news and weather to stay informed, though we are over 750 miles apart.
