Other cameras??????? ### 4/5 — Love this app *2026-07-22, version 8.0.7* I use this app often because 19 News tends to cover more of NE Ohio, not just Cleveland. My only complaint is not being able to click on an image in a story to get a better look at the details in it. ### 2/5 — WOIO Cleveland 19 News *2026-07-15, version 8.0.6* Why are all the stories videos?! I want to be able to read the story. So far, I have only been able to read 1 story. I will now delete this app because I am unable to read the news stories!!! ! ### 2/5 — 19 News *2026-07-03, version 8.0.6* The app gives headlines, but no stories and a lot of ads. Maybe your app developer needs to review this app. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-01, version 8.0.4* Can’t even get the news without opening the app and they make you watch an ad first. Clickbait headlines to get you to open the app and again, watch the ad. I can hear important news from other news websites, you don’t have to be so scammy :( ### 2/5 — Cameras *2026-03-30, version 8.0.2* Why is it looking like a 3 grader is operating the cameras? And why is it a hit or miss to see the news on Sundays? The Good Side is shown with the same segments over and over seeming like there’s nothing up to date? And why is there so much dead air? ### 2/5 — Pics at bottom of article makes you look like a pervert *2026-03-18, version 8.0.2* The videos (ads) at the top of the article automatically plays - at various sound levels no less- then after every ad shows a picture of someone suggesting a “personal “ ad- can’t change it so you look like a creepy weirdo to people that are glimpsing at your phone ### 2/5 — Credit card?? *2025-10-15, version 7.0.16* Ever since the station did their major broadcast changeover, I’ve had and used the app. This morning, I open the app, and it takes me to a screen to create an account-followed by a page that wants my credit card information! What’s going on and what’s this site that wants my personal information??? ### 2/5 — Needs Upgrade *2025-08-01, version 7.0.16* This app crashes often. Sometimes videos don’t load. Please upgrade this app. It’s problematic in this present state. ### 4/5 — Needs improvement *2025-04-15, version 7.0.16* I like your app but could do without the ad that pops up before getting to a news article. ### 2/5 — App *2025-03-27, version 7.0.16* You can’t get to the ness we s sometimes because of ads you put on the page! It is had to find what is news and get to read it! ### 3/5 — Great headlines *2025-03-17, version 7.0.16* App has a tendency to turn off just as the story begins to load. Great on giving local news headlines. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-01-14, version 7.0.16* Want news not advertisements ### 1/5 — Efiing ads for highly questionable products and services - scams makes not trust you at all *2024-12-20, version 7.0.15* Why don’t you broadcast these crappy ads that rip people off on your broadcast? Oh because you would lose your license. Pathetic… ### 1/5 — Poor reporting *2024-12-06, version 7.0.15* This app has the poorest reporting of any I’ve ever seen. News stories leave the reader with more questions than before reading the story. It’s as if the authors of some of these are writing the story from home in 5 minutes without ever performing the actual job of investigating and reporting. Please, find qualified reporters. ### 2/5 — Just deleted the app *2024-11-30, version 7.0.15* I opened the app to a full screen ad, which was annoying. At least let me scroll the news a bit before shoving an ad in my face. Bye bye. ### 2/5 — Too Many Ads *2024-10-13, version 7.0.14* It is sad that you have to go through soooo many ads before anything of grave concern is part of your notifications and you have to wait 30 seconds on an Amber Alert or a National Emergency. Not to mention the app that is attached to your television, its worse. ### 4/5 — Size of the print *2024-05-24, version 7.0.14* Can you please please please make the size of the print larger I have vision issues so I need the size of the print much larger than it is now but there’s no way for me to do that on this app I love your app other than this one thing so if you could remedy this I could give you 5 stars ### 1/5 — Sports updates *2024-04-06, version 7.0.14* I really don’t need to know every Browns or Cavs score every five minutes, I’ve got sports notifications turned odd Live reminders are turned off. Sports scores are definitely not breaking news. Why do I continue to get these updates? ### 1/5 — 19 News WOIO Review *2024-01-20, version 7.0.14* I would like to see the notifications erase one at a time instead of all at once when the notifications start popping up ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ad for every video? *2026-07-12, version 8.0.6* They try to force you to watch a long ad just to watch a video. I would do it if it were once in a while, but not every time. So, I don’t watch any videos at all on the app. GREEDY. ### 1/5 — WOIO Cleveland 19 News *2026-06-26, version 8.0.6* Why are all the stories videos?! I want to be able to read the story. So far, I have only been able to read 1 story. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-04-11, version 8.0.3* Plays music every story you open ### 1/5 — Video feeds embedded in articles *2026-04-01, version 8.0.2* No need to run video each time you click on a news story. Video should remain optional. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-03-27, version 8.0.2* Plays music every story you open ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-03-18, version 8.0.2* To many bugs. ### 1/5 — Hate the upgrade *2026-03-15, version 8.0.2* 19 Action News is my local news outlet of choice. But ever since the upgrade, the icon is alway telling me there's a new alert, but not matter where I go or what I look at in the app, it WILL NOT GO AWAY. ANNOYING. I've deleted & redownloaded several times to no avail, even toggled the settings. Not to mention the new layout is irritating. ### 1/5 — Immediate ad *2025-12-28, version 7.0.16* I never want to open this app since it immediately goes to an ad before you can see any content. The other Cleveland stations’ apps do not have an ad immediately. Why does 19/43 have it? ### 1/5 — Used to like it. *2025-11-26, version 7.0.16* I’m stuck on the “allow tracking” screen. The app is useless. ### 1/5 — Mark Acton *2025-06-08, version 7.0.16* Your story about Lee Harvard shooting states ‘teens shot’ nowhere in your worthless story states that all victims are ADULTS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love 19 news *2023-08-15, version 7.0.10* Variety of coverage great! News about Trump over and over! To educate your viewership where is the news about proven facts of Hunter Biden?? Not a word! The mainstream media is only covering one side. A shame for the country to not get a balanced news!! ### 5/5 — Response *2022-12-06, version 6.7.13* YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST, WONDERFUL ### 5/5 — Love the people *2020-03-17* I watch this because I love the people. They all are prompt & make everything easy to understand. I was always a fan & always will be. Keep up the good work & God bless. Christine ### 5/5 — Susan Jean *2019-07-09, version 6.2.11* My favorite is Jeff Y. All the people are great, but he adds some fun!! We all need fun! ### 5/5 — 19 News is awesome! *2019-07-03* When you want your news in Northeast Ohio, it's all here in the app. While there are some accessibility issues with unlabeled buttons, it's still good. I love this app, and as a blind man in Cleveland, it's a way to start and end your day with the day's news stories and weather information. Keep up the good work on the app. As I said before, I use Voiceover. Voiceover is an accessibility feature for the IPhone, Ipad, and Ipod Touch, and mac. There are some unlabelledbuttons like the save news button that is not labeled at all. That could use some improvements. Other than that, the app is very accessible for the blind Community., ### 5/5 — Review *2018-12-15* The only thing missing. Is the pictures and names of the team. So I can keep up with the newest team members ### 5/5 — Wonderful “On-The-Go” App! *2018-11-29* When watching the news, I usually watch Channel 19 news. Using this app helps me to keep up with the latest local news. I find this app to be very informational and easy to use. I like this a lot. ### 5/5 — Good job, *2018-11-10, version 5.1.0* Interesting news always ### 5/5 — I love 19 *2018-09-28* There is absolutely no racists on channel 19 , that makes watching the news informative with out unnecessary anger about the way the news is brought to us . ### 5/5 — Update *2018-09-27, version 5.0.3* I liked the old look that was on your web sit, I do not like the update that is on your web site --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
