No live news😋

Just worked a double shift at AK steel finally took my first break at 8:00pm to watch “know to grow” opened this app to an ad then opened “watch now” to another ad then to my great disappointment I was given news from 5pm. WOW I thought I had gone through a wormhole and ended up going back 3 hours but unfortunately no. Morale of the story if you want live news don’t come here unless you want to learn about Epstein and day old news.

giant font

tried wdtn 2 news after too many issues with channel 7 news app on iphone.

News article articles are in some kind of giant font. I get two words per line. I tried the icon for smaller font, it makes no difference. App is pretty useless. Dayton doesn't seem to have a good news app. Using iPhone XR.

Pop ups and click bait

If you enjoy lots of pop ads and click bait, this is the app for you!

WDTN News App

Don’t know what you did, but this app is absolutely useless! When I try to get rid of the swipe screen, it closes the app altogether! I have tried for the last five minutes to read a news story to no avail. Used to work on both my iPad and iPhone. It doesn’t, can you please fix this?

WDTN News App

Hello, about 2 weeks ago I started having issues accessing the news app. Every time it comes up when I click on a news story, it is wanting me to choose selections for receiving Breaking News, Local News, Weather, etc. I cannot get past this setup. I have deleted and reinstalled the app hoping that would alleviate the problem but it didn’t. I tried calling but there does not appear to be a dedicated phone number for technical support. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Poor Design

Navigating on this app is a nightmare. Hard to dismiss ads and actually get to the stories. After all this work I’d love to get more than 1 or 2 sentences about the story. Using it less and less and relying on other sources.

Filled with Ads & Poor Audio Control

This ap is filled with cheesy and misleading ads for miracle cures, etc. Not what I want in a news ad. Also, audio automatically plays when you click on a news story—even when you turn your sound off. Volume must be on lowest level and sound off. Competing news channel app much better.

Embarrassingly Left

They have become so liberal and one sided and biased! I only have the App for breaking news and I like Jamie for weather!

No “Live Feed”

The “live feed” does not work. I tried to watch The 6 pm while I was away from the house and it was not working. I even tried when I got back to the house and it still did not work. Weak app

Review

TooTo political only one sided very far left all news people need to really rethink it and be fair people all you talk about was the opposite person running for president how wonderful they are well let’s see what a great job they can’t do

iOS 8 update please..no auto videos

App crashing, videos play on clicking an article, unable to see the article. If I wanted to watch the news I would do so. I don't want to see the videos and not be able to read the news.

WDTN

the ONLY news i’ll watch in Dayton!

not news

just watched something on are president and what the headline said had nothing to do with the interview. so not gun friendly or country friendly news source

App stinks!!!!!

Why do so many news apps need to have so many worthless ads?

Video Auto Start

I don’t mind the app BUT I can’t stand how videos automatically start. It is super annoying when I’m trying to check out the weather forecast, for example, and the video starts blaring (especially when I’m trying to use the app inconspicuously).

Automatic Video Play

This was my number one go to for news. Now when I click a link, it automatically plays the video associated with the topic - so annoying. If I wanted to watch the video, I’d tune into your news cast. This is a great way to wake your kids from a nap, as it isn’t user friendly when you try to quickly pause it before it’s too late. Well, it’s always too late. Will be deleting because of this.

Don’t waste your time if you don’t like being blasted with ads

This used to be me go to local news app in Dayton. At some point they introduced auto playing ads that come on at full volume, regardless if your phone is on silent or not. Automatic app delete, if that kind of garbage design is the approach being taken. I’m not anti-ads on a free app, but that kind of approach gets one star (and zero if I could).

Horrible app

This app will play video at full volume even when you don’t select a video. You can’t read a news story without it automatically playing the video at full volume. Some people in the world would rather read than watch. Don’t force someone to watch crap they don’t want to watch. I deleted this app after having it for over 10 years. Ridiculous
