I was told that in the process of getting the new app up something went wrong. They are working with the app makers to get it fixed so be looking for the new app. It is coming soon. Just don't have a date of when it may be up. But, they know of the problem and they are working on a fix ### 4/5 — Awesome app👏👏👏👏 *2015-03-11, version 2.10.0* But I'm unable to open it all the sudden😮🙋Help!😬 ### 2/5 — Hay *2014-04-14, version 1.36.0* When i opend this up it said, sorry sirr, but you are a redneck. Now i know i aint the smartest fellar on Gods green Earth, but bein called a redneck just aint right yall. Thats just my two pennies. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2011-04-02, version 1.1.0* Good concept but the icons adjacent to each story are overwhelming. The TDOT cameras don't work either. It's currently 10:30PM and the traffic cameras sill show daytime photographs. This app has a LOT of potential if the developers will fix the bugs, WDEF updates it quickly as news happens, and those annoying icons by each story are removed. I look forward to the updates! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Privacy *2020-11-12, version 4.34.260050140* This app copies the contents of your clipboard. ### 1/5 — Help. App will not open!! *2016-02-06, version 2.13.0* Others have commented the same... I've reached out and contacted WDEF about this on their website, which seems to work fine. I tried to register on the website, but I'm still waiting for a password to be sent by email! But what's the problem w/the app for iPhone?? Please fix this!! ### 1/5 — Can't open *2016-02-05, version 2.13.0* Says Valid application manifest could not be retrieved. 500: Internet server error ### 1/5 — Pitiful *2015-05-18, version 2.10.0* This is such a lousy App and website no search feature on either. WDEF Media company should be ashamed. ### 1/5 — Banjo *2014-12-28, version 2.9.0* This app is terrible. It does not update. The traffic will stay the same for days. The weather radar changes once a day. ### 1/5 — Ads are horrible and distracting *2013-04-19, version 1.24.0* Need an option to pay to remove all ads. ### 1/5 — Fix it Please *2011-02-08, version 1.012* It doesn't work yet. All I get is the main page for few moments while it tries to update then it goes away. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2011-02-04, version 1.012* Since the update all this app does is open for a few seconds then kicks me out. I waited for this app but now I can't even use it! ### 2/5 — Stories need better editing *2019-06-07, version 4.30.430040244* I enjoy this news app bc it’s my favorite local news station but, it seems like no one edits the stories before posting them. There are so many misspelled words and grammatical errors EVERY time I read a story. Doesn’t matter what story, you’ll find something simple someone should have caught. If this is ever fixed, I will change my rating. ### 2/5 — Try it again *2016-07-23, version 4.19.290019855* Takes too long to open. Old format was much better ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the Update Format *2022-01-05, version 5.0* I really enjoy the app and with the update it is so much easier to see the stories you want to see. Love News 12 for keeping more local news. Y’all are the best!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-10-05, version 4.35.720059226* Really a big help with local news ### 5/5 — What I look for.... *2019-03-20, version 4.30.430040244* Concise reporting is what I appreciate.
