## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Noise

*2026-03-10*

Suddenly there is an obnoxious notification on my phone from your app. TURN IT OFF. I can’t figure out

### 1/5 — Rate app

*2026-03-09*

Leave the app alone, was fine before. Now I can’t find what I was looking for.

### 1/5 — Old news

*2025-02-20*

Doesn’t seem to change articles, not enough local sports coverage

### 1/5 — Pain in the Rear.

*2025-02-14*

It continues to go blank have to close out and go back in and it’s ridiculous. I will get rid of it if this issue doesn’t get fixed asap.

### 1/5 — Liberal News

*2023-08-25*

F This and most other news sites. If you are a Lib Tard…

### 1/5 — So so

*2017-05-07*

I guess nothing happens over the weekends because there are no new stories between Friday and Monday.  Better off going old school and reading an actual paper.

### 2/5 — WDTV

*2026-06-27*

I reinstalled an update of the WDTV app and it’s not a version I want to use for local news

### 2/5 — Annoying and Ugly

*2026-03-14*

I wasn’t a huge fan of the former app, but I’d love to have it back! This redesign is awful. Not visually appealing at all. Hard to locate things. Unnecessary filler content. And the red notification badge that never dies!! Boo, hiss.

### 2/5 — New format sucks

*2026-03-07*

Reminds me of local channel 12 which I quit using. Who picks this? Very bad call!

### 3/5 — Problems Setting Up

*2024-11-15*

The app doesn’t allow me to choose what it asks me to
send

### 5/5 — Wow really like the redesign!

*2026-03-06*

I’m so appreciative of the redesigned app with larger easy to read text - it’s so accessible now!   Looks great and it’s so responsive now.  Nice job!

### 5/5 — Like almost everything

*2023-02-06*

This is pretty good but does need some improvement. I can’t get notifications for Preston County although you are supposed to be NCWV.
Some times I have a hard time finding a story because you recycle the page and don’t leave a way for us to follow up or find the story again.
For me this is how I get my news so the app is important.

### 3/5 — Weather

*2024-10-06*

Weather forecasters need to adjust their weather maps, I am pretty much a lifetime resident of Taylor County I do not understand the weather forecasters having the city of Clarksburs  taking up space in Taylor County and NOT placing Grafton on the map as well as no temperature. If they don’t have enough room for the Clarksburg then make is smaller and Clarksburg doesen’t come close to I79 look ast the map. Please fix this. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
