5.0.6

July 16, 2026

Improvements to the video player, including addressing a crash caused when using video controls

User reviews

Used to be a good app now it needs improvement

This app used to be a whole lot better now you gotta pop up every 30 seconds you can’t scroll through the apps just by swiping and if you click on something say down at the bottom of the screen, then when you back out, it starts you all the way back at the top of the list

Alerts

I keep getting a notice for an alert and I don’t have any alerts. The site constantly shows a red number.

Pop ups and failure to report local news

Will report news from another state and not report on Bowling Green’s or surroundings towns news

Video Playback cannot be controlled

When trying to pause or scroll ahead in a video, the whole app tries to scroll to the next or previous story by sliding the whole screen. Full screen option doesn’t work either.

Pushing DEI

WBKO is not in step with most of its readers and viewers.An example is the article about the lady pilot saying she understands why DEI is needed and states she knows of qualified women pilots who couldn’t get a job flying because they were women.That has nothing to do with DEI,that is purely discrimination,if it’s actually happening.Legitimate businesses would not disqualify a pilot because she is a female
Another subject is the very apparent bias towards president Trump.
