And too many adds ### 2/5 — Not good *2026-03-07, version 5.0.1* You cant get the notification erased ### 2/5 — I hate the notification sound *2025-03-19, version 4.0.16* Congratulations! I am now turning off your app’s notifications. I HATE THAT YOU GOT MY IPHONE SOUNDING LIKE AN ANDROID! ### 1/5 — Not so great *2023-07-14* Sometimes it works…not a great source for my local news. Sometimes the same stories are there for days…really? No new news more often than that? Lots of room for improvement ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2023-03-08, version 4.0.5* Doesn’t work half the time ### 2/5 — Print size *2023-03-03, version 4.0.4* I need larger and bolder print for me to be able to read your app. If you could do this I would greatly appreciate it. ### 1/5 — Latest update is horrible *2023-01-31, version 4.0.1* This latest is HORRIBLE!!! Obviously it was never tested. It takes forever to load, if it even loads at all. Constantly freezes during use. I’ll use the website over this application all day long. Please fix this garbage!! ### 1/5 — Another liberal propaganda channel. *2023-01-28, version 4.0.1* Total lack of balanced reporting. Journalism at its worst. Commercials dominate program time. ### 2/5 — App won’t open *2023-01-27, version 4.0.1* The last couple days the app won’t open other than to say there’s no internet connection. All my other Apps open and work fine. I deleted the app and reinstalled to no avail, ??? ### 1/5 — News? *2023-01-09, version 3.4.15* This is one of the worst news apps that I have ever seen. Stories of interest are not even brought up. There is a leftist bias. Stories lack key information. It just seems biased and lazy. ### 1/5 — Recorded Newscasts on VUit missing *2022-03-25, version 3.4.10* I am not always able to watch a live broadcast and would catch on news programs missed by watching Recorded Newscasts on VUit. They are no longer available. Please fix or provide an explanation ### 1/5 — Mobile News *2022-01-10, version 3.4.8* Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2021-11-22, version 3.4.7* Lousy app. Unreliable. App is constantly down and won't load on iPhone and iPad. ### 1/5 — Current update *2021-11-21, version 3.4.7* Your current update crashed the app. The app will not open ### 1/5 — Weather *2021-11-18, version 3.4.6* The weather forecast on the Internet is always wrong. ### 1/5 — Pretty bad app *2021-09-14, version 3.4.6* Whoever made this app did a really bad job. I’ll only use the WTXL app. Terrible app, keeps crashing, loads weirdly, and I can get the same news elsewhere, with better spelling! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-17, version 5.0.4* I’m going to ditch this app and find another. The newer format does nothing to enhance the experience. I’ve tried to stick with this app but it seems to be worse than ever ### 1/5 — Sound *2026-05-13, version 5.0.3* I should have an option for videos/ads to not start with sound. There’s not even an option to just turned the sound off for all the videos. It’s very annoying one out of five stars. ### 1/5 — Sound *2026-04-14, version 5.0.3* I should have an option for videos/ads to not start with sound ### 1/5 — Volume Control? *2026-04-09, version 5.0.3* Don’t appreciate how ads are bombarded and no volume control; i would like to deactivate the volume for the app ### 1/5 — App for Roku *2026-04-05, version 5.0.2* Doesn’t work. The app starts to play & closes itself after about 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — Privacy? *2026-03-13, version 5.0.2* Don’t like the privacy policy, obviously just a merchandising vehicle ### 1/5 — The new layout of the app is awful *2026-03-09, version 5.0.1* This app is awful. Good link finding anything local! ### 1/5 — No! No! No! *2026-03-08, version 5.0.1* You guys every upgrade isn’t a good one. Now everything is so small it’s hard to read. This WAS part of my morning routine for over 4 years! BOO ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-03-06, version 5.0.1* They changed the ad frequency so an ad pops up every time you open the ad and it sucks. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2024-10-06, version 4.0.12* Been watching WCTV since it aired in the fifties. Have never seen such poor professionalism in your people. This morning encouraged me to cut it off except the weather. Your weather reporting is Excellent. Please let these young folks watch Julie Montenaro report the news. She is professional in every way. Please!!! Surly you can hire more qualified females than this. Thank you, Sheridan Harrell Whigham,Ga ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — News *2023-02-20, version 4.0.3* Wctv has the best news Medea on local news MY HOME NEWS ### 5/5 — Dependable *2023-01-31, version 4.0.1* I have comfort in knowing that local news and weather is always a touch away. No matter what time or which day I need it. Thanks WCTV! ### 5/5 — No sound *2016-02-20, version 2.0.4* There is no sound for the videos.

However, I have never been able to locate daily recipes or contests. ### 3/5 — Retired 2021 *2025-03-19* Why does this app open with 3 screens on weather I just want to see one! And too many adds ### 3/5 — FSU Softball *2023-05-19, version 4.0.7* Don’t understand why there is little to no talk about FSU Softball, there are 3rd in the country , won the ACC championship and hosting the regionals this weekend. ### 3/5 — Forecast *2020-09-18, version 3.3.2* I have recently noticed the 7 day forecast is no longer on the app. If possible please fix. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
