It’s very frustrating. If not fixed soon I’m considering on just deleting my apps. I would watch the live stream if that’s what I wanted but I’m interested in just watching certain events only. ### 2/5 — Updated format sucks *2026-03-25, version 5.0.2* Since the update I have not enjoyed this app. I have used wymt’s news app for many years and get on it several times daily. But this new format is not good. It looks generic and cheap and the ads are crazy. There’s on now in the center of the national news section that won’t give me an option to x out of it or watch it to get rid of it. I hate to delete the news app but it looks as though that is what I’m going to do. I’ll have to watch tv to get my news updates but I don’t get WYMT. Please go back to the old format or fix the ads from popping up on every click ### 2/5 — 👎🏼update *2026-03-14, version 5.0.2* The update has made this app awful. It is too busy. I want to read articles not watch videos. Fix it back. It is not good and did not improve anything. ### 2/5 — Annoying ads *2025-11-07, version 4.0.16* I only use this app in the winter to check if school is out for snow, but recently it has got really annoying due to the ads that show up and are hard to close when you first open the app. ### 2/5 — Love the app *2025-03-08, version 4.0.14* There is a problem -when I click on a story and begin reading and then scroll up the page goes blank (just white screen) —most of the time I can’t find the article again -it’s as if it disappears ### 3/5 — App not working *2023-02-16, version 4.0.2* The app since the last two updates will not open. I still get notifications but can not open the app ### 1/5 — App not opening *2022-09-12, version 3.4.15* I’ve had this app for a long time now a few years in fact. But this new update or whatever has happened it won’t even open. I have deleted it and downloaded it again but it doesn’t help. Please fix this issue. Thanks ### 3/5 — So Sad *2022-09-12, version 3.4.15* This app updated now it won’t open up. I have done everything I can to get it to, still will not open. I’m not the only one other family members can’t open it . Please get it fixed. Thanks ### 1/5 — Newest update is a disaster *2022-09-12, version 3.4.15* I have had the WYMT News app for years and it’s had its ups and downs in the past, but its been pretty stable for the past year. Since the latest update on Friday, September 9th the app will not open, It will not even stay on the cover page for more than 5 seconds until it shuts down. So much for QC… ### 2/5 — New App *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* It’s not working it just closes out when you try to open it….. please get fixed ### 1/5 — New update *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* Since the latest update, the app won’t even open! ### 1/5 — Update *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* When I got the update my app will not open. ### 1/5 — Last update made app useless *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* Deleted, reinstalled and restarted my iPhone. App just tries to open then closes on its own. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — App Crashing *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* The app is crashing with the latest update. Please fix. ### 1/5 — WHY WONT IT OPEN Up *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* it’s not opening up…what’s wrong with this 😡😡 ### 1/5 — 9/11/22: Latest update broke the app, again. *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* Crashes on launch. Same thing happened a year ago. ### 1/5 — Bad setup *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* App crashes constantly and the the new update won’t even open ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app to navigate *2026-06-15, version 5.0.5* Do not get the app. Trying to watch the live news in the morning just doesn’t work. You will click on one thing and it will be playing something completely different. The 6am news this morning didn’t air correctly so I completely missed it. When you try to navigate to see past newscast, you’ll get a warning that it’s not a trusted site, so you won’t be able to go there. And not to mention every time you click on something in the app, you’ll have to watch a 30 second ad that you can’t skip. Also don’t try the website either, it’s just as bad. Do yourself a favor and don’t even try. Immediately deleting this app. ### 1/5 — PMC Medical Ads gone crazy! *2026-04-18, version 5.0.3* This app sucks, unless you like hearing Donovan Blackburn every time you click on a news article! I’m deleting mine! ### 1/5 — The new layout sucks *2026-04-07, version 5.0.3* The new layout sucks ### 1/5 — New format *2026-03-25, version 5.0.2* The old format was much better and easier to navigate through ! ### 1/5 — Updated app *2026-03-11, version 5.0.2* The new updated app is no where near as good as the previous version. The ad’s play when you’re trying to read the article and no way to mute them. ### 1/5 — The old one was better *2026-03-10, version 5.0.1* This layout is confusing. The old app was better. This one has a notification always on the app logo but there’s no new notification. Shouldn’t have changed the app. ### 1/5 — Closings for iPhone 17 *2026-01-15, version 4.0.16* Search for closings on IPhone 17 is impossible. It will only allow search for and add one institution. Also the list is incomplete and doesn’t show Floyd County schools and untelling what else. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-01-08, version 3.4.18* Terrible lying and tricky ads. Overloaded with ads. Hard to differentiate ads portraying fake news in your local area. Never reports any real news in local area. Never see any reporting on 1/2 the local murders heard about. Very biased. ### 1/5 — No good *2022-09-12, version 3.4.15* Noticed new app so I tried to open, all it does is flash and then closes ### 1/5 — Ray *2022-09-12, version 3.4.15* The app will not open on my iPhone since the last update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Storm watch *2024-04-02, version 4.0.12* Thanks for staying on the air with the weather up thank you ### 5/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-09-14, version 3.4.17* Help! The app has always worked but now it keeps closing out when you click on it .. ### 5/5 — New update crashes *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* Love the app! But latest update makes it crash before loading. ### 5/5 — Something wrong with your page will not open *2022-09-11, version 3.4.15* I have used WYMT NEWS app on my phone for my years to keep up with the news and now the page will not open up for some reason I have in stalled and deleted the app several times and still didn’t load back up. Thank you ### 5/5 — WYMT NEWS APP *2022-09-10, version 3.4.15* Really needed this on my phone! Have been using for years! It’s awful that I live within three miles of the news station and can’t use the app anymore! Doesn’t work, will not open! Uninstalled, reinstalled, still nothing! WYMT , can’t keep up with you guys now, please fix the problem! ### 5/5 — Great news coverage great overall viewing *2022-05-26, version 3.4.12* As always WYMT the best ### 5/5 — WYMT *2020-11-12, version 3.3.5* I love this app it’s always right and keeps you informed of what is going on and great weather alerts thanks WYMT ### 5/5 — Thanks WYMT! *2019-10-27* I just put my review on the Radar app! Sorry about that. I really love the WYMT-TV News and Weather app. We don't have cable, but I can still receive local news and weather updates via the app. Love it! ### 5/5 — Best way to stay up to date *2019-01-23* I’m on this app several times a day. It’s the way I like to keep up with the local and national news. Small bites instead of getting choked by the bad news all at once. ### 5/5 — Always on the know *2018-11-27* Love this app always keeping me updated especially since I travel back and forth to Lexington and southern KY --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
