### 1/5 — Horrible data resource hog

*2025-02-26, version 213.0*

WPSDLOCAL 6 Tech Bros: a) do you realize what a bandwidth hog this app is? And b) do you realize when the power goes out so does Wi-Fi?

Rendering this app useless on data during extreme weather events.

How about a lower bandwidth audio only stream like we had before we had to switch from analog TV to digital?

### 1/5 — Good to bad to worse

*2025-01-22, version 213.0*

I used to use this app a whole lot and now it’s just a bunch of lag from the ads constantly reloading and putting new ones in over and over again.

Now I just use the web version instead on a browser and it’s way better

### 1/5 — No Live

*2024-05-26, version 136.13*

You are unable to watch live weather when there are tornado warnings. You also are not able to just immediately start watching you have to watch commercials before you can watch anything. So if it’s an emergency, you’re out of luck. I recommend the KFVS 12 app instead.

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS!

*2020-11-03, version 121.7*

Ever since doing the latest update this app is worthless for me. Push alerts are current but when I open it, I get a prompt stating “Your Request Cannot Be Processed At This Time. Content Not Available” The exact same thing is happening when trying to read a story inside the app. I can see the main page but am unable to read any if the stories.

### 1/5 — App is broken since Apple updated their OS in Sept 2020

*2020-10-14, version 121.7*

I have had no news update on this app since The just iPad update in September 2020 I believe it was. I’ve reported it to WPSD with no resolution.   States there is no data available. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Can this be fixed?  I miss the news casts at times and this is how I keep up.

### 1/5 — News stories

*2020-10-02, version 121.7*

I open up the App, but when I tap on a news story, the app can’t load the story and says my request can’t be processed at this time. I’m hoping this can be resolved soon so I can continue to use the app.

### 1/5 — Solicitation

*2020-05-24, version 10.2*

Clicked for push notifications for breaking news, now getting daily notifications for solicitation and drawings, sometimes more than once daily. NOT breaking news!

### 1/5 — Ads in push notifications!!!

*2020-05-14, version 10.2*

Just deleted this off my phone!  I gave you access to send me push notifications for news updates, not to send me advertising about the St. Jude Dream home.  I’d expect nothing less from a shady news station than to send out shady ads dressed up as news alerts.

### 2/5 — Skewed, politically motivated reporting

*2020-05-07, version 10.2*

WPSD is not a reliable news source.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-04-04, version 10.2*

This is the best way to keep up with the latest and experienced news team in the regions. As they always say, put on those push alerts!
