You still get all the notifications ### 3/5 — Notifications *2020-07-14* I have notifications set up so I don’t get things I don’t want (such as COVID, sports...), but it doesn’t work. I still get it all! Way too many! ### 4/5 — Up 2 date forecast *2019-08-07* It’s going to rain, but not everywhere!!! Forecast your nineteen counties and tell viewers what going to happen at home, not somewhere in Texas or mid-west... I recognize you only forecast and don’t know what’s going to happen, I have the app downloaded and it is about as actual as the weathermen.. Get Ken to help!!!😎😓🌂🕶🏌🏼‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️🛶🚁🛳 ### 3/5 — No Audio😟 *2016-04-21, version 5.15* I think the last update killed the audio to your local forecast video.All other videos work normally on the app.Fix this and you might win 5 stars😕 ### 3/5 — Great News App BUT... *2015-12-30, version 5.13* I'll give it five stars when you do something about the ads! Is it really necessary for a full screen ad to pop up out of nowhere when you're attempting to read a story? WCTI and WITN have ads, but theirs are discreet and don't interfere with the reader. Please fix ### 3/5 — Like the App but... *2015-12-26, version 5.13* ads are annoying! ### 5/5 — Good app *2015-02-25, version 4.11.6* Good mix of good and bad news . I tend to use the app due to my work schedule . I appreciate the convenience . ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-02-11, version 4.11.6* Wish they did provide the tides and wind for addy for each day in the forecast! ### 5/5 — Chad *2014-11-05, version 4.11.6* Great app ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-05-27, version 4.9.5* This app keeps me up to date with what's going on in Eastern NC. The push notifications are nice to see news quickly. It's very convenient! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2014-04-30* I LOVE wnct & watch them every possible chance to stay updated on my local news & weather! Initially I thought that this app would be crap..but I was wrong. I love how the notifications keep me up to speed when I'm not tuned into the tv for breaking news/weather updates. They did a great job with this app & I suggest everyone in their viewing area download. And no, I'm not an affiliate of the station...just a 25 yo crazed fan :) ### 5/5 — Great App for news *2014-04-20* If you are busy as I am and have no time for actual TV the WNCT app is great. I get all the important pop ups about events. I watch the live tv broadcast when I have time to watch it. The app is user friendly for scrolling and looking for headlines I want to read. I really appreciate the effort into the design and mostly the broadcasts. I so appreciate being able to catch up when it's good for me. ### 5/5 — YAY!!! *2014-01-20* Update: 2014 The only irritating thing left has been remedied! Thank you for adding a feature that takes you to the "alert" stories! NEWEST UPDATE: When this app was in its early days it was terrible. Now it's AWESOME. Reliable weather info, active radar is great. Love reading articles on it. Great job!!! UPDATE: 7day forecast looks like a camera pic and is cutoff. I don't understand why there can't be a FULL graphic (NOT a poorly snapped picture) of the 7 day forecast. Daily forecast videos (like on the website and posted to the FB page still need to be added) App provides almost no use for me because of this. I have to use national weather apps to get the weather. Needs ALOT! So glad I didn't have to pay or I would be more irritated. no 7 day forecast. No weather forecast videos. Daily would be nice and make this app useful. It seems slow. I could get the info much faster on the web but the point of the app is to have it at your finger tips since I'm not always near a computer. Will delete if there isn't an update/upgrade. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-05* This news app is not working for iPhone 15 pro max ### 1/5 — Liberal Media *2021-02-13* Just another liberal media source. ### 1/5 — You can do better. *2020-10-16* You can do better. Your app is not user friendly. Please provide more options. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Free speech *2019-04-24* Can’t comment comment on your Facebook post. Y’all try to silence free speech. Therefore I turn in more to WITN just to be honest. It is because of what y’all did. It says y’all restricted me as well as others have told me they have been restricted too. If they restrictions are lifted I probably go back to watching y’all more. I will rate you higher when you start back allowing me to comment on your Facebook post. ### 1/5 — Sandy coverage *2012-10-30, version 4.2.4* I like ur app the least between the 3 stations. I don't like the picture options or the scrolling stories across the top. It's not as user friendly as the other stations so i only use it when big stories hit the news. Like sandy which is why im on it now. ### 2/5 — Poor reporting *2020-04-20* Headline chasing and no real news and facts provided ### 2/5 — Ok *2013-12-13, version 4.9.3* It would be nice to go straight to the story when an alert comes up. ### 2/5 — Lousy app *2011-05-16, version 2.0* This app takes forever to load selections on my iphone4 (wifi). No sound on videos, not sure why, sick of messing with it. ### 2/5 — Forecast *2010-11-30, version 0* It is a bit slow. Where is a button for the seven day forecast? ### 3/5 — ok *2021-03-08* I liked the old format better. This version is harder to navigate. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — News *2021-02-10* Really good app good news team. ### 5/5 — Superb *2020-10-14* Thus far this App is providing truly wonderful, & up-to-date information. ### 5/5 — Janice Roberson *2019-04-18* I moved from up north and needed a news station and someone told me about WNCT and been watching WNCT for 9 yrs now I will not watch nothing else. ### 5/5 — Review *2018-11-18* Nice but the alerts are excruciating annoying ### 5/5 — App Application *2018-10-02* We found your app and the coverage of the storm presented on it extremely beneficial while we out of town. Thanks for a great job. ### 5/5 — My thought about WNCT news, weather, and sport—- *2018-04-26* I think you guys cover excellent news, weather, and sport— ### 5/5 — WNCT *2018-03-21* Really enjoy the station! ### 5/5 — Outstanding Info *2015-10-09, version 4.14.5* Love the alerts about weather and also news events when they occur.. ### 5/5 — Up to date! *2015-10-02, version 4.14.5* I love getting news alerts and they are up to date! The best news app in eastern NC. ### 5/5 — Great news app! *2015-03-18, version 4.11.6* Very useful for people living in the area. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
