I do not care about some of the topics. It’s 11pm, why is my phone going off over high school sports updates… I need to be alerted about news. ### 4/5 — WISH TV *2026-02-06, version 5.03.220062481* Love the app. My only complaint is when there is breaking news for severe weather or weather alerts you have to watch a commercial or two first. Seconds matter. ### 2/5 — Pretty good but still has bugs *2025-01-07, version 5.03.220062294* Impossible to scroll through stories without glitches taking you back to top of page. Almost every article has a misspelled word or grammatical error. The writing stinks. Not the app’s fault, but the content writers. There should be a way to disable video autoplay. I want to read an article, not hear a loud commercial before a video starts that I don’t want to watch. ### 2/5 — World News? *2024-11-27, version 5.03.220062294* You only hear of news in Indiana you never hear what’s going on in the rest of the country or for the rest of the world ? ### 2/5 — Pretty good but still has bugs *2024-04-10* Impossible to scroll through stories without glitches taking you back to top of page. Almost every article has a misspelled word or grammatical error. The writing stinks. Not the app’s fault, but the content writers. ### 3/5 — Traffic section doesn’t work *2023-07-03, version 4.37.090060009* Overall app is good, the weather section is a good tool, but the traffic section had stopped working recently. Please fix. Stop with the pop up advertisements when I look up the radar. I’m almost ready to delete this app. ### 3/5 — Poor Streaming *2023-06-03, version 4.37.090060009* We have poor streaming using Xfinity on the WishTV APP. ### 2/5 — Lack of news *2022-08-30, version 4.35.770059624* Tired of the only news stories featuring shootings and people hit by cars. Please go find some news. I’ll even read about a pothole somewhere. At least your a little better than another local channel (I finally deleted their app). There’s got to be at least a few other news stories in central IN, but your station has to be willing to search for them. ### 4/5 — Pretty good but still has bugs *2022-08-06, version 4.35.770059624* Impossible to scroll through stories without glitches taking you back to top of page. ### 1/5 — No longer can watch the news because of Google ads *2022-06-24, version 4.35.770059624* After updating the app I can no longer watch the news because of a Google ad that pops up. It is a phishing scam. ### 2/5 — Ch.8 App *2022-06-22, version 4.35.770059624* This app is slow to reload and is very slow when you scroll through all the stories. Not a great experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-10, version 6.0* The app is terrible and not user friendly. I want to see the weather updates and it’s almost impossible to do so ### 1/5 — Video clips *2026-05-30, version 5.03.220062481* Please stop the automatic starting of video clips. This app SUCKS ### 1/5 — Video clips *2026-03-12, version 5.03.220062481* Please stop the automatic starting of video clips ### 1/5 — Tepid update *2025-12-22, version 5.03.220062481* This recent update to the app has made it unpleasant to use. Live streaming repeatedly cuts out. In low connectivity situations the app gives up and says there’s no internet, making it useless in an emergency. ### 1/5 — Annoying Videos!!! *2025-03-08, version 5.03.220062294* When you click an article to read it and automatically plays the video that you cannot pause! The developer of this application needs a new job. ### 1/5 — Terrible app! *2025-01-04, version 5.03.220062294* It will be great when this station gets on Hulu ### 1/5 — Notifications are inappropriately used *2024-10-21, version 5.03.220062294* They send constant notifications for the most mundane items. I had to delete the app. ### 1/5 — Slow *2023-08-12, version 5.03.150061153* Trying to read a article is painful. They load so slow on Wi-Fi or data. Articles from CNN and AP. Come on write your own stories ### 1/5 — Ch.8 App *2023-06-22, version 4.37.090060009* This app is slow to reload and is very slow when you scroll through all the stories. Not a great experience. Nothing ever loads and take down the propaganda from you site. You never tell the right story, you just tell a story the way you want us to believe it. The media has be come corrupted with the rich peoples money and agenda. ### 1/5 — Wish tv Indianapolis *2023-06-14, version 4.37.090060009* The app dose not work properly ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Golf for my baby brother. *2026-06-16, version 6.0* Thx channel 8 ### 5/5 — Miss the Traffic info *2026-06-05, version 6.0* I really miss the traffic info that was on the app prior to the most recent update. I used it almost daily. It was so helpful planning my route in Indianapolis. Please consider bringing it back. ### 5/5 — Zip *2025-04-26, version 5.03.220062481* I’m busy— no comment , thank you. ### 5/5 — WISH TV NEWS *2024-05-02, version 5.03.220062294* Since moving to Central Indiana in 2021 we have made WISH TV News our go to station ### 5/5 — Good Job! *2024-01-25, version 5.03.150061153* Good Job! ### 5/5 — Timely and supported by facts! *2023-12-19, version 5.03.150061153* Other station in general fill time (page)! ### 5/5 — My favorite channel *2023-07-23, version 5.03.020061038* I’ve watched you for years and you are the best station with the most accurate and up to date with your information ### 5/5 — WISH TV *2023-03-01, version 4.37.090060009* I wish that WISH TV was on Dish Network !!! ### 5/5 — Beautiful cast *2022-10-21, version 4.37.090060009* This station is Indy and they bring the news with realness and accuracy. ### 5/5 — I love the early AM team! *2022-06-10, version 4.35.770059624* As I drink my coffee in the early am (typically 4 or 5 am), I always look forward to WISH TV keeping me company. They are always so chipper while I’m still a member of the walking dead and trying to make myself be a productive member of society. They wake me up to all the current news and help me to plan my day, my week, and my month from the minute I walk out my door. Thank you so much WISH TV for making MY AM NEWS so fun and interesting to watch! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
