## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Pretend update

*2024-02-08*

Not an update. Won’t open to the news. Just wants to collect data.

### 1/5 — Bad Update

*2021-03-08*

The new version of this app is terrible.  It is slow and hard to navigate.  The previous version was much better.

### 1/5 — Notifies you for everything even if you choose for it not to

*2020-04-23*

What is the point of asking what I want to be notified for, if you are going to literally still send me everything.  If I just choose weather updates then I just want weather updates!

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2014-12-14*

Don't bother with it. Not worth the effort for news or weather. Just go to the website.

### 1/5 — Amount of news

*2013-01-22*

I can't get past Jimmy's Car Service I get far more news on WTVM plus get alerts. Thank you WTVM I will stick to them for news

### 2/5 — Old news

*2013-09-05*

A mobile app should give a subscriber near real time news. This app has the same content for days. The newspaper app is more up to date. It's not enough to just have a mobile app, you need to invest resources to keep it up to date and relevant.

### 2/5 — More local news

*2013-01-27*

Need more local news, the whether don't have to much to say???

### 2/5 — Ok, but could be better

*2012-09-25*

Too much emphasis on Alabama news stories. Needs to do a better job with Columbus news.

### 2/5 — iPhone app

*2012-03-23*

This app is behind other area stations in not being iPad enhanced. Even same town station channel 9 has upped its offering.

### 3/5 — Much improved!

*2017-08-30*

The latest revision is a big improvement! I especially like not having to scroll back to the top of an article to go back to the listing of articles.

Way better than t.v 9 wtvm app the video makes it great because if you didn't see the morning news or midd day news you got it on this app strongly recommend it love it !!!

### 4/5 — More local news

*2018-12-19*

There is a lot happening in this area that needs covering.  Leave the national news to your parent agency. Focus on the local items, we certainly have a much news that doesn't get covered that could be.

### 4/5 — WRBL

*2018-04-25*

I’m typically so busy I don’t have time to watch the news. I like getting news snap shots in real time. This APP helps me keep current on the local breaking news.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2013-01-30*
