Have restarted phone but no resolution. Please fix!! ### 1/5 — After last update *2021-11-20, version 3.4.7* Very bad update app don’t even open anymore ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-02-10, version 3.3.6* Never seen a television station that had to resort to game ads just to open their app. Don’t open the app in a quiet area. Isn’t that what commercials are for? Isn’t that what app developers sell banners for? ### 1/5 — For you! *2020-08-30, version 3.3.1* Why do you have a section called for you. I don’t need you to tell me what I need to read. I hate that for you crap! Any website or app that says for you, I will not have. Does the for you section have to do with the fact that you’re keeping up with everything somebody looks at, if so it is true Violation of everyone’s right to privacy! By the way, where is your privacy policy. When I click on privacy policy,It says error 404. I thought a statement of privacy was the law, maybe not, I’m just saying. ### 2/5 — Will not Allow you out of news *2020-08-28, version 3.3.1* Once you go into a section like local news it will not let you transfer anywhere else. The same thing if you go to arrest reports it will not let you transfer into any other section. ### 1/5 — Failed to open *2019-10-13, version 3.2.6* App has worked good for a couple of years. Always kept it updated. Now it will not open at all. When selected it immediately returns to the main screen. Have deleted and reinstalled numerous times. Powered off and tried to reinstall. Still just returns to main screen. Weather app loads correctly ### 3/5 — Videos aren’t working *2018-07-28, version 3.1.8* Lately when trying to watch a video from this app, it doesn’t work... It just closes out!!! Might need updating ### 1/5 — News problem *2016-12-14, version 3.1.3* Every time I click on news it just goes to an advertisement ### 1/5 — I hate Adware *2016-12-14, version 3.1.3* This is nothing more than adware. Can't even get to the supposed stories. ### 1/5 — WTOK App *2014-08-03, version 1.10* Cannot open this app after downloading latest update. :( ### 1/5 — Not connected *2014-05-10, version 1.07* Can't connect to this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not enough information what are you hiding? *2024-09-09, version 4.0.12* I do not like you guys news because yeah I don’t do follow-ups. You’ll give us a story one day and then you don’t follow up with it. It is not like Meridian Mississippi has a lot going on that you cannot follow up on these stories I have not ever in my life, so many news anchors that do not even know how to even be personable on the news. You guys need to get some seasonal new anchors anchors and paid them ### 1/5 — Television giveaway *2023-07-20, version 4.0.8* I was going to sign up for this giveaway but changed my mind due to having to give my birthdate. ### 1/5 — Very little actual news *2022-09-18, version 3.4.16* Mostly just local sports content ### 1/5 — Not pleased but a tiny bit. *2022-08-11, version 3.4.16* It needs to be renamed WTOK politics! You report on local news 2-3 weeks after it happens and then only snip-its and nothing else is said!! You advertise good things going on around Meridian after it happens! WTOK has always been apart of my life for fun, enjoyment and knowledge of what’s happening around our town. Thanks for listening ### 1/5 — New App won’t open *2021-11-22, version 3.4.7* The new app isn’t working. Every time I click on it, it tries to open, then it goes back to the app screen. I might as well not even have it. The old one worked fine. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 😕 ### 1/5 — Keeps closing *2021-11-22, version 3.4.7* The app was ok before since the last update it won’t open. ### 1/5 — New upgraded app won’t load *2021-11-21, version 3.4.7* Ever since Channel 11 changed its news format in the past week, I can not get app to open. I get notifications for latest news, but cannot get app to open. ### 1/5 — The new WTOK News App will mop open on the IPhone 13 Pro *2021-11-21, version 3.4.7* New WTOK News App will not open on iPhone 13 Pro. ### 1/5 — App opening *2021-11-20, version 3.4.7* Not able to open app for updated news information ### 1/5 — Worse *2021-11-20, version 3.4.7* It’s worse now. It keeps force closing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MeciueaOwens *2021-05-14, version 3.4.1* MeciueaOwens ### 5/5 — Please consider *2018-01-04, version 3.1.5* Please display at bottom of screen when there is a need in community FIRE ETC HAPPENING in Meridian before they occur so Meridian can turn out in breaking #’s. Thank u so much. Reporter are talking so fast U will miss or not remember. ### 5/5 — WTOK-TV *2016-01-05, version 2.0.4* I LOVE this app and the reason why is because when I'm not home I don't have to worry about missing the news or the weather, I can watch it live stream from my phone 😄 and this my friend ROCKS in my book !!' Thank you WTOK-TV for having this app it's awesome .... Nancy Price ### 5/5 — I dig *2013-09-12, version 1.0* Currently, I'm digging the app, bro ### 4/5 — Love it but...😋😋😋 *2015-10-06, version 2.0.2* This app I amazing but it doesn't load all my locations for the weather. I have to refresh a could of times and sometimes I have to exit out of the app just to get the one I want! Please fix! 😍 ### 4/5 — Thanks *2015-03-25, version 2.0.1* Good update but it still needs a little more work ### 3/5 — Small Market *2022-06-17, version 3.4.14* The app appears to work when it wants. I didn’t expect a whole lot due to the small market of Meridian. The news anchors remind me of UF ( University of Florida television. I am from Jacksonville and there is a night and day difference. I don’t see a lot of city issues, while focusing on weather and feel good stories. God bless them for trying. ### 3/5 — Bad update *2021-11-20, version 3.4.7* The app closes every time you try to open it. I had no problem with the app before the update. ### 3/5 — Gummed Up With Ads *2020-06-12, version 3.2.8* News and other stories good when you can get to them. Have to wade through ads, made to look like news. What happened to obituaries in community section? ### 3/5 — Okay App. Closes and Freezes *2018-11-01, version 3.1.9* Okay app. Closes on its own mid article or load. Or it will freeze and then force close. I preferred the text message alerts offered before vs this app & notifications. I don’t always receive the notifications I want and when I click the ones I do get the app opens and I may/may not get booted. The old text msg had a link that took me to the site normally...same diff except I can actually access whatever the text alert was about. Fix the bugs and it’ll improve I believe. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
