User reviews

Not user friendly

Recently moved to the area from Raleigh and downloaded the WECT app. as you scroll down the list of stories, the size of the font is so large that you can only see a few words of each story, meaning you have to open each individual article to really see what it’s about to determine what you wanna read about. Complete waste of time in my opinion. Compare this to WRAL app in Raleigh and you’ll see what I mean.

Fonts too small to read

This new format fonts in the list of articles is too small to read for sight impaired people. This was not the case in the last format.

Cannot clear red notification dot

Cannot clear red notification dot after latest update

Bring back the previous version

Difficult to read as the fonts are smaller and I agree with the other reviewers.

Missing the old app

I feel this new app is generic, just like many news apps. Where is the Zeam to watch previous newscasts? Weren’t there more selections in old app like traffic?
