Some issues: on both iPhone and AppleTV the videos don’t start playing until about 10 seconds after selected, on iPhone you have to drag the playback progress button back first before dragging it forward to fast forward, and the AppleTV app content does not refresh when left open for several hours. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2025-05-30, version 46.5.2* I downloaded because I want specific updates for a legal case. I don’t live in the WHAS11 area so this is helpful to target the news that I want to hear. ### 4/5 — Lpn nurse *2025-05-25, version 46.5.2* My patient has Whas in every room of the house going 24/7. Luckily there’s not one in my bedroom so I can sleep lol. I must say this radio station has been more than informative about various interesting topics ### 4/5 — Nice to have on hand *2024-12-17, version 46.4.1* I don't really like the news every once in a while I'll check it out ### 5/5 — Mr. Scott Gepford *2024-11-05, version 46.4.1* Well written and researched stories. ### 5/5 — My favorite local news app *2024-08-25, version 46.4.1* Covers stories that matter to me.

Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Alden and Ben are very helpful and help us stay safe. We appreciate all they *2024-02-01, version 45.30.3* All they do for us. Gratefully, Charlie and Carole ### 4/5 — Settle with Direct…please *2023-12-27, version 45.30.3* It would be even better if I could see it on TV again.

I’ve been watching since the age of five & feel as if I know my newscasters because they’re in my home everyday! ### 5/5 — Review *2023-06-29, version 45.1* Whas is my favorite channel very informative and great special segments and no body beats the storm team ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update is terrible *2026-03-23, version 50.6.8* What happened?! Why did this app update make it so wildly unusable? ### 1/5 — App locks up or crashes regularly *2026-01-15, version 46.5.2* The new WHAS11 app is basically useless, as it repeatedly locks up and / or crashes when trying to read an article. Very frustrating to be reading an article and not be able to reach the end before it locks up and will not scroll. When this happens, the “back” arrow is also not functional. Even if you close and restart the app, it will lock up again and again. ### 1/5 — The app crashes on AppleTV *2025-10-01, version 46.5.2* Downloaded the app on my appletv tvOS 26 and it crashes as soon as it lunches. ### 1/5 — Complete junk *2021-07-19, version 43.5.21* I’ve had this app for a few years, the version before this was useful and more Insightful. Now they post like 3 or 4 news stories every so often and that they just Regurgitate the same old news over and over again. Nothing useful is on here anymore. Things that are breaking news on other stations don’t even show on here. People need to know if something is going on downtown or wherever. Im deleting this app and moving on!!!!! ### 1/5 — Tracking me *2021-05-21, version 43.3.17* Was enjoying the app until it wouldn’t work unless I allowed it to track me. ### 1/5 — Like ads? I don’t! *2021-04-02, version 43.2.41* More ads than any kind of news. I don’t want to watch 5 ads before I can even see the story.... ### 1/5 — Breaking news AFTER YOU WATCH AD!! *2020-09-15, version 42.10.17* Ridiculous. Breaking weather or important news only available after you watch an ad for a slot machine game ??? Cmon. ### 1/5 — All ads no news. Deleted it zero stars *2020-07-07, version 42.7.35* All ads. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Battery Drain *2020-06-30, version 42.7.31* Your app is draining battery life like no one’s business. 57% background activity in the last 24 hours on this iPhone SE. Can’t keep it on the phone like this. ### 1/5 — App locks up or crashes regularly *2019-07-17* The new WHAS11 app is basically useless, as it repeatedly locks up and / or crashes when trying to read an article. Very frustrating to be reading an article and not be able to reach the end before it locks up and will not scroll. When this happens, the “back” arrow is also not functional. Even if you close and restart the app, it will lock up again and again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Weather radar *2026-06-13, version 50.13.0* I hate that y'all changed it ### 5/5 — My Favorite Channel *2026-06-10, version 50.12.0* I so enjoy WHAS.
