WCHS 8 News Rocks!!!!
I enjoyed the WCHS News app.
Most Annoying Ads
The news content is very good if you can overlook the grammatical and spelling errors, but the consistently annoying ads from a law firm that have been used year after year have caused me to avoid watching video content now. I can’t even read through a news article without the text jumping out from under my eyes and being replaced by these persistent ads. As soon as I find an appropriate replacement I will be deleting this app. It’s not worth the aggravation!

Tablet issues with app
08/24/2024. I keep my tablet on a magnetic keyboard case, which means I view things in a “landscape” view. Your app is only viewable as a “portrait” view. Please correct this and it will be a 5 star app.
Question
Is this not on Stirr app on my tv anymore? Where can I find to download app on my tv?
Worse with each update!
Every update just makes it worse than before! Weather can. It scroll through hourly anymore! They finally got some bugs fixed but these past two updates have them doing “pinned” section right off at loading on something’s!! That feature should not be there as not everyone wants consecutive anything shoved down their throats!! WCHS used to be pretty much down the middle, but in more recent months, they have really been pushing national articles from the national desk that are targeting a certain group of humans!! I’m about ready to drop the app for something more Middle of the road!!

Very slow and a storage hog
When it is accessed, the load is laggy at best. And no setting provision for clearing the cache means that the space used keeps growing. Have to delete and then re-install. Only do so because I do need a local news source.
If fixes finally but …

Clunky and Lousy Design
Try to keep up with local news, but this app is frankly slow-loading, and doesn’t work very well. No option for feedback, which makes it hard to tell them their “polls” don’t work and the content loads like chopped ham.
Version 8.5.0 bugs NOT fixed
This app was pretty good until version 8.5.0. Now clicking ANY link in the story causes my iPhone screen to go dark. Then I have to close the app and reopen to read the next story. Gonna use other local news apps until this is fixed.
Eyewitness News Rocks
I enjoyed watching the stories on WCHS.
No auto
Can’t hear the audio when watching any of the videos
Yesterday’s news
The app now only gives the “latest” news, from yesterday. I do not think they ever post anything that happens in real time.
Live literally never works
This app is pointless, the live option has never worked once for me.
Rating
It doesn't work on the iPad Pro it worked on my iPad Air and iPhone
Not a good news app
This news app does very little to cover local news. They seem more preoccupied with celebrities, national scandals, and useless national information not involving WV. Plus, ads pop up constantly. If I want TMZ, I'll download their app.
Viewing position
This app only works in the vertical position on my iPad. If I'm viewing apps horizontally and open this app, it comes up sideways and stays that way so I have to I turn the iPad to view vertically. Aggravating! The news reports are informative and up to date but a bit lacking on the weekends. Not too bad. Needs a little work.

Instructions only
App gives tutorial upon opening.... Then nothing. Useless at this point.
So-so
Some days, the app works great. No complaints. Others, it's miserable and not worth hassling with. I don't have cable so listening to the morning broadcast on my phone is the easiest way for me to get the news. But here recently the sound hasn't been working. It will work if I go to the WCHS website so it's not my phone. I also tried it on my iPad with the same issues. Maybe we need a new update for sound issues??

Update
I enjoy the news from this app. However the videos that go along with the story's rarely play. I would enjoy watching the video versus reading the articles. Could you please update this app so I can watch the video's.
Other than that I enjoy getting the news from this app. I would rank it higher if the video's actually played.

Disappointed
This app doesn't show school closings and if it does it isn't easily found.
