I understand that mistakes happen but this is happening all of the time. If anyone from WIS see this today, just click on the 11pm news from last night (8/4) and see what you get. Love the live show in the morning but leave for work before live show comes on and have gone to WLTX to watch recorded news. ### 2/5 — Pop Up Pain *2026-04-09, version 8.0.5* It is extremely annoying to have a giant pop up ad blocking the screen for several seconds at the beginning before any other content can be seen. That certainly causes me to think negatively of the company who purchased the add. Other TV stations whose apps I have allow immediate access to news stories but do have ad links further down the page that can be viewed or easily scrolled past. I realize you have to monetize the app so that it does remain free but there are better ways to do that. ### 2/5 — Type too small on iPhone *2026-04-03, version 8.0.4* Hard to read. WACH and WLTX are much better. ### 3/5 — Pop Up Pain *2026-02-22* It is extremely annoying to have a giant pop up ad blocking the screen for several seconds at the beginning before any other content can be seen.

Why ? ### 3/5 — Font too small *2025-12-23, version 8.0.0* Please give us options to customize our viewing ### 2/5 — No control for sound! *2025-11-04, version 8.0.0* BEWARE! The app now launches video and ADS with SOUND!!! There’s nowhere in the settings to disable sound or the auto start in video. ### 1/5 — Will not let rotate on iPad *2025-11-04, version 8.0.0* Before the update I could rotate the screen, no it will not rotate. Will be deleting app. ### 1/5 — Breaking mid white screen *2025-02-25, version 7.0.17* Mostly mid way into readying an article the whole screen will change white . Is it just mines ?! ### 1/5 — Article disappeared *2025-01-31, version 7.0.17* For about the last week or so every time I start reading an article the text just disappears. There’s nothing on my screen but the WIS logo at the top and an ad at the bottom! Please explain! ### 1/5 — Issues *2025-01-31, version 7.0.17* The app used to function great. But as of recently, the quality of the app has degraded. Halfway through reading an article the article goes full white as if it is trying to load an ad. I’m unable to rewind videos resulting in having to restart the video all together to rehear anything. The in ad apps have also gotten progressively worse making you watch a video before even being able to access the articles on occasion. In its current state, I recommend people to use the WIS website over the app as the app is to unreliable and frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — Get rid of the ads. *2025-01-30, version 7.0.17* No more ads. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-01-21, version 7.0.17* Almost entirely ads. Could not get daily or weekly forecast. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Terrible Ap WiSNews *2025-01-02, version 7.0.17* Bogged down in forced ads. Often no sound with videos. Gives the appearance of fake news. Totally ridiculous amounts of time to wait for “real news”. WIS went below par after losing solid journalism and Joe Pinner, Ted handy, and 1990’s tv personalities. ### 2/5 — No control for sound! *2024-12-14, version 7.0.16* BEWARE! The app now launches video and ADS with SOUND!!! There’s nowhere in the settings to disable sound or the auto start in video. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-07-23, version 8.0.9* Can get anything but your ads. ### 1/5 — Difficult to read *2026-05-06, version 8.0.5* Cannot locate accessibility settings.

Prefer old app. ### 4/5 — Too many of the same notifications *2026-04-24, version 8.0.5* The app itself is fine but too many notifications are sent regarding the same story. It’s too much. I will literally have 12 notifications on the same thing. It’s not updated info, it’s no longer breaking news. I’d like to be able to control the number of notifications a day. ### 4/5 — Notification Sound *2025-11-05, version 8.0.0* I no longer get the News 10 door bell sound notification when I get notifications. This has happened since the changes to the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
