### 4/5 — Not enough UK sports

*2025-10-14, version 8.1*

Toejo

### 2/5 — Great when it works.

*2025-04-28, version 7.2*

I routinely have to restart my Apple TV in order to get the app to work. At least 50% of the time I get a blank screen. After I reset, the app works.

### 2/5 — Alerts

*2025-01-08, version 7.2*

Good app, but too many alerts. It was getting distracting so i deleted the app

### 2/5 — Update Please

*2024-11-03*

Upgraded my phone to the iPhone 16, and now I only get the notifications for 2 days, then have to delete and reinstall then the same issues start over again. Please fix this! I’ve relied on this app for years for my news updates and I miss it!

### 2/5 — List features

*2024-08-08, version 7.2*

I have been messaging help for a week now but falling on deaf ears. I can still watch the morning show on my mobile phone but can not maximize the screen any longer. Plus yesterday 8/7/2024, there was no sound and it kept showing the night time news. Something is going on with the app and I would love for it to be fixed. WDRB is all I want to watch. Thanks. Love WDRB.

### 1/5 — If I could give fewer stars I would!

*2019-10-12, version 6.0*

This version has more bugs than a mattress in a flophouse.  ONLY read for Bozich & Crawford, now no tab for them.

### 3/5 — Review

*2019-10-08*

Only complaint is when you receive the “breaking news” you get it twice. A nice feature in the future would be to chose what alerts you want to get like news, sports, weather for your specific area etc...

### 1/5 — No content

*2019-06-26, version 5.8*

Worked fine until the update. Now no news articles will open. Fix and I will consider updating review if I still have the app. May delete and go with another news source.

### 3/5 — Great app but nowhere to report issues

*2019-06-11, version 5.7*

I have been using this app for a while now. I enjoy being able to see the news alerts right on my iPhone, however, as of this morning 6/11/19, when I try to load the app, I receive a message stating “no content available” with a choice to exit or retry. I see nowhere to report issues like mine.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-02-05, version 5.2*

The old app was great. Now if there’s an update and I click on it, I’m sent to the home page with no update to be found. It also appears they got rid of the alerts button so you could see the updates.

### 1/5 — This app is garbage

*2025-12-18, version 8.2*

I don’t know what you have done in the last few updates, but all this app does is crash. You just like fixing what isn’t broken. Fix the stupid app!

### 1/5 — Deaf News

*2025-11-03, version 8.1*

Unable to leave feedback. Get a popup that says “This device is not setup to send emails.” This device is literally where I receive and compose emails. Why don’t you want to hear feedback from your consumers? What are you afraid of?

### 1/5 — Scott Reynolds

*2025-09-26, version 8.0*

The new people u have r nice but they do not have the same camaraderie with Fallon Glick & Gordon

### 1/5 — Negative

*2025-09-12, version 7.2*

Is that all you do is report shootings ?
I would work really hard to find positives!

### 1/5 — Freezes up

*2024-08-14, version 7.2*

Every few days I have to either do a hard shut down of my iPhone or delete the app and reinstall in order the clear the “updating” pop-up that freezes the app. This is totally frustrating and I’m about to get my local news elsewhere and delete this app for good.
Update 8/14/24: I wish the app worked as is should because this is the best local news source. Unfortunately, every other day or so the “updating” pop-up appears on screen and freezes. This also freezes the app. I have deleted the app and will find my local news elsewhere.

### 1/5 — 30 minutes of commercials

*2023-03-24, version 7.1*

Non stop commercials in the app while waiting to watch the weather update. Closed the app and restarted it to find the road conditions and they slipped the weather section. I swear you can’t get updated weather without all nonsense

### 1/5 — Ads

*2022-04-21, version 7.0*

I don’t mind ads but at least give us the option to mute the sound. You wake up the whole house with just one swipe to the left. Deleting app

### 1/5 — Too many ads.

*2021-10-10, version 7.0*

App is a piece of garbage. So many ads. Pops up. The commenting system is just awful. Lots of misleading left leaning headlines.

### 1/5 — Last update has too many ads that pop up as you scroll

*2019-10-29, version 6.0*

Used to be my favorite local news app but I guess like all the others, they are selling advertising space.
It interrupts the flow of reading the news which is the very reason I use app
Oh well.........

*2026-07-14, version 8.3*

I’m so excited that I have been taught how to download so I can watch my favorite news channel WDRB

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-05-13, version 8.3*

My favorite WDRB NEWS

### 5/5 — Best news/weather app

*2025-12-09*

Best weather information, best news updates and very cool to have on your phone 24/7

### 5/5 — The WDRB app

*2025-11-22*

Thank you all for having the WDRB app. It’s the only way I get my news now my Spectrum that I have through my community where I live for Spectrum on us and we had local channels for the first few months and then they got taken away so I appreciate having the app and so I can stay in tuned with my local news Tonya and Brooks thank you

### 5/5 — WDRB

*2025-10-27, version 8.1*

Love WDRB news and weather. Got to meet Marc Weinberg at my niece’s wedding, he’s really a nice guy. Thank you WDRB

### 5/5 — WDRB the best!  Especially all the Morning Group, and really “all”the Meterologists day & night!

*2025-09-24*

WDRB: I really enjoy all the Morning group!  Candice, Lindsey, Chris, Jude, Mike, Keith and all the guests they have.  They are all into the Louisville scene, News, Sports, 
Festivals, City changes, on and on.
Each represents a different  quality,  experience, offering  various views and outlooks.  They laugh, like and respect each other. The Morning show is a friend in my home daily to trust. Jude will love this, my grandson just graduated from WKU in May with a Bachelor of Science Degree, and also important… “Yes, Mike is Hot in his new Suits!”

### 5/5 — You are keeping me informed

*2025-09-11, version 7.2*

I watch every morning And I love the staff

### 5/5 — Family

*2025-09-10*

WDRB in the morning is like waking up to all your family members you are close to. If you don’t laugh at some point, your day is starting off bad!!!

### 5/5 — Best information, great app

*2021-08-06, version 7.0*

The app is easy to use and contains great information.  For Louisville and Kentucky this is the best option available.

### 5/5 — Frequently does not load

*2020-02-09*

Shows nothing frequently
