Your app

Sucks. Can’t watch what I want to watch to many ads can’t control the video you’re are a waste of time and space on my phone hi Rex

Not intuitive

Trying to stream and it’s not that easy. It says to download Apple, but can’t figure out what that means. I have APPLE TV and an Apple phone. Shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. Also videos drop constantly so I’m not able to watch a complete story.

Great app

Easy to use and get news from my former area of residence

Best app

I’ve been using this app for awhile now.

Great news app just needs a new look

G

Needs a web master! Can’t update anything! No local weather!

Freezes - laggy

Lags. Freezes intermittently.

Urgh

It he website is not up to date and keeps stories on there for months….there must be new coverage of something anything then stories from (ex:) October 2024 or even December 2024

News Wins, Weather Loses

The new app has a better presentation for the news, but the weather features took a hit. The WNYT app fabulous worldwide weather and locational services (weather “where you are now,” or pick a city, or “your location pinpointed on the radar”) are gone. That’s a serious loss.

Open App?

I can’t open the new app. Every time I try to I get a message saying my device is not connected to the internet (which it is!).

Charlotte Sena

Thank you, Brian and Chrissy for your coverage of Charlotte Sena’s kidnapping. I can’t stop thinking about it. I had a cousin who was abducted, sexually molested, and shot back in the 80s…Kari Lynn Nixon. Her assailant was Robert Jones, who is still in prison to this day, and was just denied parole in August. I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison. We can never become too complacent. Your discussions are very meaningful and greatly appreciated!

Commercials

I enjoy this app, but when you click on a news story and the commercial immediately starts to play; it’s just too much.
When you’re in a quiet situation and you want to read the article, the video or commercial bursts through your phone.
And you’re left scrambling to lower the volume or pause it.
They need to fix that.

Impressively Disappointing

The short and uninformative articles are not updated frequently enough, particularly on the weekends. They aren’t spell or grammar checked, though they always take the time to boast about how all 4 sentences of the article were “posted here first”. The radar only works when the skies are clear, and goes completely blank anytime there is any precipitation, which I suppose is at least predictable enough to tell me if I need to close the windows. The app freezes all of the time because it’s so bogged down with ads and it needs to load those first. Today, a school day at 8am, they are still showing the live weather forecast from 22 hours ago.

A Complaint

Seem to loose my connection on a regular basis when watching live and have to re-start. Do not have that problem with other local stations.

Abrupt Need to Reload

I have had this app for a long time, BUT I really wish they would do something to fix to no warning stop in broadcasting. It’s not timed to a commercial break, just smack in the middle of the weather, or sports, or regular newscast. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked for updates, and (sigh) downloaded competitors apps so I can watch a full news broadcast uninterrupted, but the problem still exists. WNYT is my favorite, PLEASE fix your app!!!!

Repeating

The same news is always there ?

Weather feature

I go to the weather feature twice per day minimum. I use it for gardening and bike riding and exercising.

Gretchen wilmot

Wonderful people on channel 13
They have a great group of younger reporters
The tell it like it is No bias.

Coffee and My Local News source.

First go to place on my phone every morning.
Thank you for consistently being the best!

Missing Detailed Forecast

When I tap On weather it just showed radar no place it showed detailed forecast which they had in the past.

Meh

App freezes all the time. And as much as I hoped the local news would actually focus on important topics, they’re just out for likes and clout like the rest. Quite sad really. When your entire job is to read off a teleprompter and not do any of your own fact checking, it’s easy for people to question everything you put out as truth.
