News
Very Informative
Watch button
I watch the news every morning and probably 3 out of 5 days a week it causes me problems and doesn’t want to play.
App is practically unusable due to ads
I check this app every morning and every evening. It always slows my phone down so much, I need to fully close the app to return to normal. The ads take up so much space that the articles themselves often struggle to load. I only look at the ‘Local’ section and news stories from other states are frequently under that tab. I live in Ohio, why is a story from Georgia considered local news? The articles are also blatantly written with or edited by AI: spelling is often incorrect, locations aren’t consistent when described, quotes don’t sound natural. This app all around is frustrating to use.

Your News App Stinks!
Can’t you find any recent news to post instead of reposting old news as if it happened today? Get up to date like your competitors!
WHIO KUDOS
WHIO DOING A GOOD JOB WITH NEES OF MIAMI VALLEY IN OHIO. Keep up the good work.
Ad city
I tried to listen to the Flynn trial and all I got was one ad after the other and will not allow me to upload photos or videos anymore
Review
To many pop up ads and redirects. Make it simple
Bias News
Always baiting people with horrible titles. Only see one side of things and it’s the side you try to indoctrinate people with. Your news is too long. Your puff stories to justify being on the air so long comes across as if your viewers are dumb and they need to be talked to like children.
Frozen
It freezes up too often
Too Many Ads
The content is good. However, the app is so burdened with poorly developed ads that my iPhone locks up every time I try to use it. Dayton Now performs much better.
App freezes or completely shuts the app
Always glitching and freezing and shutting me out.
Poor rating reason
My sub stellar review is due to the inconsistency in information posted. Some stories stay up for months. Many important local matters are not posted at all. News from many counties away are posted as “local” and real local stories are ignored.
The Right wing takeover of CBS has definitely shown itself in the stories posted.

Slow to load and often doesn’t
I wish this app was better and not so slow. All my other apps are super fast to load and never fail to load. Come on WHIO, fix this mess.
Worst news app ever
I’ve never seen a worse app on any platform. It’s nothing but ads that block what you try to see, stutter, stop you reading a story, and just generally get in the way of anything you want to do. Whio used to be my go-to. Not anymore.
Horrible UI/UX and News Coverage
As a mobile developer I can attest to many of the comments on the user experience front. You receive a notification, tap on it, you are brought to the app but not the story, instead ads are everywhere takes forever to load and the auto playing of unrelated content is absolutely horrible. Good luck finding the arrival of the deep link isn’t valid. Don’t waste your time if you want a functional user interface, or you want a smooth user experience.
The news platform is ridiculous, days late on news from around the nation if it’s relevant, click bait style notifications, vague content descriptions, something like “Country music star files for divorce after 10 years” incredible click bait. Just say who it is, being cryptic is absurd. Oh yeah, don’t worry you received that notification today, you’ll get it again in 4-5 days incredibly annoying but let’s not forget this specific notification already happened days ago.

Do better
Not impressed with your news reporting techniques and skills these days.
No Coverage

Too many ads
The WHIO app is awful. The news is old and no one seems to know how to proofread!
The lack of coverage on sports has been nonexistent.
There should be an easy and in your face way to access WHIO of news in real time and it is difficult to find. It seems to be easier to upload storm/weather photos than it is to report accidents etc.

Great info
Love Todd So I watch all of whip
Awful
Pretty much just a terrible app. Loaded with adds posing as news stories. Videos play automatically, even after turning off that feature. Alerts of news stories pop up as banners, but when you click the banner, half the time, there is no such news story. If you want to know about school and business closure mentioned on the app... You need to download their weather app that is also basically useless except for checking delays and closures in the winter.
