Instead, you have to force close the app, and restart it. ### 2/5 — App Stopped Working *2024-02-06, version 500.1.1* Unfortunately after the last update, this app no longer works — the screen is black. I've removed and reinstalled the app and still the same results. I liked the app when it worked, but now it's not useful. ### 2/5 — No timely updates *2022-04-04, version 41.9.0* When they report it is good. But updates are few and far between. On weekends it could be dats! Why even have an app if you don’t keep users informed ? ### 3/5 — Can’t find *2021-01-17, version 40.35.480056436* When I want to look up an article I seen before can’t find it later. Need a search engine or something like that. Also when something went live can’t see it later when I can watch it. Some of us can’t have our phones when working. Frustrating! ### 2/5 — Opinionated channel *2020-10-02, version 40.35.480056436* I loved watching TV 6 growing up but as time goes on it seems the station is perpetuating a liberal bias. I want the news as in facts and truths and more often than not we are getting the station’s opinions on many articles. I don’t appreciate this. I want to decide on my own based of the facts and truth. Brainwashing is a big issue which I believe affecting all aspects of our lives. I’d appreciate the news if they stopped trying to influence us with their beliefs. ### 3/5 — Yesterdays News *2019-11-20, version 40.30.410039695* Nice app, but they don't keep it up to date. For example, they were talking about school closings for an ice storm that happened last Thursday. It was Sunday and we were in the middle of a snow storm, which was not not mentioned Update- don't bother, great app but they have an ad flashing in your face every 10 seconds. Cannot read even one article completely without an interruption. ### 2/5 — To many notifications *2019-08-14, version 40.33.530045704* Used to love the app and now I’m going to delete it. Problem is now I’m bombarded with notifications to watch the news. Unless you have lived in a cave for the last 20 years most people have an idea when the news is on. Give me the weather and news notifications and get rid the watch me ads. ### 3/5 — News alerts *2019-08-08, version 40.33.530045704* Stop sending news alerts telling me to turn on my TV ### 3/5 — Stop with all the new alerts for live streaming! *2019-08-03, version 40.33.530045704* It’s too much and not wanted. I want news and weather alerts only. ### 4/5 — WLNS *2019-05-24, version 40.33.400045064* I’ve been watching forever ! Before Fred was an “ Uncle “ ! Great people providing vital information . Plus nice community involvement. ### 3/5 — Good for the most part *2019-02-17, version 40.30.410039695* Live streaming always crashes if I try to watch on full screen. ### 2/5 — Disappointing Local News Source *2018-05-04, version 40.28.190036505* •Biased reporting. •Incomplete news stories. •The same news stories remain posted long after they should have been removed. •Too few local stories. ### 2/5 — WLNS News app is not updated timely *2018-05-03, version 40.28.190036505* Updates to the news are very slow especially on weekends. I rely on WILX to get any current news. ### 1/5 — Poor update! *2017-10-10, version 14.24.21* Can't get a real weather forecast! Your Changes are terrible. Not Not Not user friendly! ### 1/5 — New format stinks! *2017-09-12, version 14.24.21* Where did the weather coverage go? Less user friendly. Who writes these articles - Mrs. Anderson's third grade class? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 1st amendment *2025-09-22, version 501.0.0* Nexstar media should be ashamed of themselves for blocking free speech. Just so they can break the law and put more money in their pockets. ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-02-06, version 500.1.2* App opens to black screen and stays there. ### 1/5 — App will. It load or ope *2024-02-05, version 500.1.1* Will not ope ### 1/5 — App junk! *2024-02-03, version 500.1.1* This app is junk! When I g we a notification and click on it, the entire screen is black. I deleted it and reinstalled it and it still does the same thing. ### 1/5 — A time machine for news *2022-09-08, version 41.12.0* While the actual live television crew at WLNS does fairly well with keeping up, the same cannot be said for their app. It’s the perfect app if you’re wondering what the news is from three days ago, a week ago, or maybe even a few months prior. If you’d like breaking news or even current happenings for the day, you are out of luck. But hey, at least you can always count on them to leave a story up long enough for you to read it, even if you read at the speed of pond water. 0/10 for quality. Cannot recommend. ### 1/5 — News *2021-02-20, version 41.01* Give unbiased news, stop being an arm of the Democrat party. ### 1/5 — Bias *2020-12-31, version 40.35.480056436* Sad ### 1/5 — Fix your alerts!!! *2020-04-08, version 40.34.380050639* I’ve opted out of select alerts (which is a feature your app offers), but yet I still receive ALL of them! When I open up the app the notification alerts that I received if I long tap on the notification it even says “you have opted out for NOTIFICATIONS alerts” but yet the app still sends them. ### 1/5 — Only watch for weather *2019-06-18, version 40.33.400045064* What a bias channel all democratic and they are not from our own State, you must think people don’t watch other news you make your newsfeed to what you want not what is the real truth. SHAME ON YOU and some of your newsfeed! ### 1/5 — If you love intrusive, pop-up ads *2018-12-15, version 40.30.410039695* I was hoping this app would provide me with a quick snapshot of local news and weather. However, EVERY time I open it I am bombarded with horrible, intrusive pop-up advertisements. It’s gotten so bad that instead of “swiping up to dismiss” the ad, I just double click and swipe up to force quit the app. I am so frustrated that I don’t even care about reading local news. May as well just get an app that provides me ads and not news. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tv 6 news *2020-11-18, version 40.35.480056436* The best in the area. The 5, 5:30 and 6 newscast gets better every day. Also on weekends Allie does a wonderful job. Keep up the great work. Lauren is just the best. She always has and will always be my all time favorite. If she ever leaves, so do I. ### 5/5 — CEO *2020-04-22, version 40.34.380050639* Honest, Objective, and always delivered professionally. ### 5/5 — Early AM news and weather *2019-02-19, version 40.30.410039695* I like Emily and Melissa on the morning news and weather.👍 Jane B. from Marshall. ### 5/5 — Weather *2019-02-05, version 40.30.410039695* Watching the weather three xs in one broadcast is way overboard. Fill the slot with a positive community deeds. ### 5/5 — News 6 is our choice! *2017-11-16, version 14.24.21* News 6 is our choice for local news and weather. Weather on the 6’s in the morning, reliable and accurate reporting, and community support are just a few reasons we love NEWS 6! ### 5/5 — No School closings? *2015-02-19, version 4.11.5* I wanted to see a complete list of school closings instead of Concentrating on the bottom of the screen And there were no school closings listed on the app ### 5/5 — News review *2015-02-07, version 4.11.5* Ok app. Would have give 5 stars except not always up to date and slightly dificult to navigate. ### 5/5 — great *2014-08-11, version 4.10.0* works good ### 5/5 — Wlns is great on the go! *2014-06-22, version 4.9.5* When you need to know its great to be able to go to the site and catch up on what's happening in Lansing and the world! ### 5/5 — Great *2014-02-27, version 4.9.3* Easy to get on the go news and weather --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
