### 2/5 — Used to be great but won’t Play. Blank screen.

*2026-06-01, version 2.2*

Every time I access the “watch live” option on the WDRB or WDRB+ on the app on my tablet nothing plays now whereas it used to a couple weeks ago. Also, it does work on my iPhone app & streamed from the WDRB website but only for a little & then it ends & the screens black again. Disappointing since I loved watching the morning news live.

### 4/5 — Ron

*2026-02-12, version 2.2*

Enjoy it daily.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable app

*2023-11-07, version 2.1*

I really enjoy being able to watch news whenever I want. The live sports streams and other shows are enjoyable as well.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-11-07, version 2.1*

I love this app

### 2/5 — Not A Reliable App

*2023-03-24, version 2.0*

When the app works it’s great however, it is full of bugs and many times the live stream doesn’t work properly.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-01-25, version 1.3*

You can’t always watch news stories need to read them during certain times. Do not like that you can’t read the news only have to watch the news cast

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2020-06-04, version 1.2*

Mark Weinberg is an idiot and this is the worst local news app available.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-03-17, version 1.2*

I prefer this channel, but this app is horrible!!

### 1/5 — Live cast

*2019-01-11, version 1.2*

Why can’t I cast to my tv anymore? The live cast to my TV was one advantage WDRB had over all the other local news stations. So disappointed!

### 2/5 — The app is okay when it works

*2018-04-30, version 1.0*

Half the time the livestream doesn’t work in the mornings and since we don’t have cable we aren’t able to watch WDRB at all. Really wish they would fix the inconsistency in the livestream being available...

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Blank screen

*2026-07-03, version 2.2*

The watch live doesn’t work at all. It’s a garbage app. They don’t support it even a little bit.

### 1/5 — I need help

*2026-06-02, version 2.2*

For some reason I can’t get the app to work it won’t let me watch live anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-30, version 2.2*

Videos will not play. Blank screen

### 1/5 — Just ads

*2025-10-05, version 2.2*

Just plays ads over and over. No news or weather.

### 1/5 — Trinity vs. PRP

*2025-08-23, version 2.2*

Old Trinity games were broadcast? What gives? very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Delete!!!!

*2024-11-25, version 2.1*

I deleted this app n it still shows up. Delete from my phone!

### 1/5 — LOUD COMMERCIALS

*2024-01-18*

WDRB does not regulate the volume of their commercials, and they will let their advertisers blow out your speakers if they want to. It’s insane. It should be illegal.

### 1/5 — Loud commercials blew my sound system

*2023-12-27*

This app allows sponsors to have their commercials be 10x louder than the broadcast that is airing. This is infuriating. Horrible app. Blew out my speakers. Do not use

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-11-25, version 2.1*

No way to fast forward replays.  You try to watch a reply of something and then when the app crashes you have to start over from the beginning.

### 1/5 — Commercials are louder than the programming

*2023-09-22*

This is so infuriating. Stop blaring commercials at me every morning. They should be at the same volume as the programming.

### 5/5 — My weather channel

*2026-01-24, version 2.2*

WDRB is the only channel I watch for the weather. You all are the best!

### 5/5 — WDRB local information

*2025-12-04, version 2.2*

I love the WDRB+ app for my local catch up and information at my fingertips! So easy to navigate!

### 5/5 — Jarmel Hopson

*2025-02-22, version 2.1*

I ❤️this app!!!

### 5/5 — my helper

*2025-01-06, version 2.1*

I listen every morning starting at 4:30 and until 5:30 If Mike Marshall could come on about 10 minutes earlier, it would be a great help. Sometimes I am already on my way to the hospital from the east end before the traffic report comes on.  Or maybe some one there could do a little early one. Otherwise I depend on WDRB for the very best local information. Love you folks!!!

### 5/5 — Best News Station

*2025-01-01, version 2.1*

The ONLY news I watch!

### 5/5 — WDRB local information

*2024-10-19*

I love the WDRB+ app for my local catch up and information at my fingertips!  So easy to navigate!

### 5/5 — Vice President of Engineering

*2024-08-07, version 2.1*

Best App I’ve ever seen! ;)

### 5/5 — Great videos!

*2024-07-31, version 2.1*

Please find ways to share and get the content out. Harder than other platforms to share content.

### 5/5 — Outstanding app

*2023-12-07*

This app provides a treasure trove of local content that you can’t get anywhere else. Love it!

### 5/5 — Glad I found this!!!

*2023-11-08, version 2.1*

This app rocks, especially for sports. It airs *Live* high school football ya’ll! Plus Bozich and Crawford, love ‘em or hate ‘em, those two know Louisville and Kentucky sports like no one else. They have their own little show on here. The app also has non sports originals, like ‘Crossroads’ that’s very good. You can still get all the news you want and weather but there’s more on here than that. Plus they have some positive stories that are actually kind of refreshing. All the other stations have apps but this one’s way better, offers a lot more…it’s the only one I use. I’m a fan.
