Constantly sending alerts for low quality stories

Was great for years when you’d only get occasional alerts for breaking news or weather, but the latest update alerts your phone for every stupid story possible. It’s completely unnecessary, annoying, & distracting, & there is no way to turn it off. After using this app since it first launched it’s a shame that I’m now forced to delete it & look elsewhere for local or breaking news.

Please open up

I’d like to be able to see Jimmy Kimmel. This is my vote to get him back on air in WNC.

Terrible

WLOS is a Sinclair Broadcasting Group affiliate.

Bigoted and weak.

They refuse to stand against tyranny and they focus only on corporate profits.

Needs landscape mode

I do not use app on iPad due to lack of landscape mode. If current app creator can’t or won’t fix this please find one that can. This lack of functionality is limiting use of app and should be a standard feature of any well made app. Please fix!!

What city and region is this for?

What description does not define where this is, what it covers.

Fix your screen

Missed weather and traffic due to closed captioning

Still no landscape

Two things about this app that made me give it a two star rating. One, it will not go into landscape mode. In 2024, this should not be an issue. Second, the update was released yesterday and today I can’t use the old version. Did you all not learn anything during Hurricane Helene when we had no cell service and unable to download data? Give us a few days to update the app before you cut us off of the old version. Honestly, these two things are enough to make me not bother with WLOS. There are enough other news agencies giving us information that I don’t need this app.

WLOS app easy to navigate

I download many apps, but I have found WLOS after the fairy easy and quick and bringing up when I click to listen to. Our spectrum service which we have is basic doesn’t have my local news which I terribly miss cause that’s the only news I watch other than DAVID, New York worldwide news.

No longer opens

Hangs on landing page. Running iOS 17.5.1 with the latest version of the app.

The app crashes

The wlos13 app crashes every time I open it. This has been going on for at least a week.

Taylor Thompson — Nickname , “Mumbles”

I’m so tired of watching TT mumble her way through a broadcast. Please ask her to speak more clearly.

Ads! Please stop them!

I can’t even scroll through the news articles without the screen jumping on me because the ads change or pop in! Please stop it!!!!! It becomes stressful to even try to look at the posted articles!

Wlos was better before

The improved version is not as good as the older one. Yes it has more news, just the layout and accessing just isn't the same. More cumbersome and slower. Can’t watch video reports because the commercials don’t close after running and if you touch anywhere on screen, the app crashes.

Not working

Stopped working after latest update.

Review

Not working on my iPad after new design app

Not working. Period.

No longer working after last updates on my iPhone. Was a great app. December 2022.

No longer connects

No longer connects after the 8.5 update. Installed on iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 16.1.2

App threw up and died during mid-term election coverage.

Sinclair, if you want to play with the big guys you’re going to have to put some money into your app.

And hire a copy editor. PLEASE!

Not the best

Have to delete and reload almost every day. I want local news but it’s a challenge.
