WDRB News アプリのレビュー

Freezes up

Every few days I have to either do a hard shut down of my iPhone or delete the app and reinstall in order the clear the “updating” pop-up that freezes the app. This is totally frustrating and I’m about to get my local news elsewhere and delete this app for good. Update 8/14/24: I wish the app worked as is should because this is the best local news source. Unfortunately, every other day or so the “updating” pop-up appears on screen and freezes. This also freezes the app. I have deleted the app and will find my local news elsewhere.

List features

I have been messaging help for a week now but falling on deaf ears. I can still watch the morning show on my mobile phone but can not maximize the screen any longer. Plus yesterday 8/7/2024, there was no sound and it kept showing the night time news. Something is going on with the app and I would love for it to be fixed. WDRB is all I want to watch. Thanks. Love WDRB.

30 minutes of commercials

Non stop commercials in the app while waiting to watch the weather update. Closed the app and restarted it to find the road conditions and they slipped the weather section. I swear you can’t get updated weather without all nonsense

Ads

I don’t mind ads but at least give us the option to mute the sound. You wake up the whole house with just one swipe to the left. Deleting app

Too many ads.

App is a piece of garbage. So many ads. Pops up. The commenting system is just awful. Lots of misleading left leaning headlines.

Best information, great app

The app is easy to use and contains great information. For Louisville and Kentucky this is the best option available.

Frequently does not load

Shows nothing frequently

Last update has too many ads that pop up as you scroll

Used to be my favorite local news app but I guess like all the others, they are selling advertising space. It interrupts the flow of reading the news which is the very reason I use app Oh well.........

If I could give fewer stars I would!

This version has more bugs than a mattress in a flophouse. ONLY read for Bozich & Crawford, now no tab for them.

Review

Only complaint is when you receive the “breaking news” you get it twice. A nice feature in the future would be to chose what alerts you want to get like news, sports, weather for your specific area etc...

No content

Worked fine until the update. Now no news articles will open. Fix and I will consider updating review if I still have the app. May delete and go with another news source.

Great app but nowhere to report issues

I have been using this app for a while now. I enjoy being able to see the news alerts right on my iPhone, however, as of this morning 6/11/19, when I try to load the app, I receive a message stating “no content available” with a choice to exit or retry. I see nowhere to report issues like mine.

Garbage

The old app was great. Now if there’s an update and I click on it, I’m sent to the home page with no update to be found. It also appears they got rid of the alerts button so you could see the updates.

Meh... Don’t like the update.

I used to love this app, which was my go-to for local news and weather. Unfortunately, the latest update drives me crazy! My biggest issue is with the basic navigation. I never had a problem moving from News to Weather. I now have to search for the weather page (last seen in the “more“ section?). Once there, many of the features that I once loved are gone. (A prime example is the visual graph showing the chance of precipitation by the hour.) Similarly, the visual cues are difficult to interpret. (As an example, are the dotted lines underneath the cloud supposed to mean rain, slow or a mix?) Again, I long for the old days.

Pop ups, Really

The new layout is almost impossible to view on my phone. The text in the picture is to small and the layout is messy. I can’t find the news and getting around the app is too much trouble. The old version needed some updates but this isn’t it.

New Version

I like nothing about this new app. The layout is awkward, it is difficult to find what I’m looking for and the ads are ridiculous. I loved the old app and used it several times a day to check the news and weather but using this new version is a chore.

Update is terrible

Loved the original version but the newest update is terrible. I cannot turn for the wide view which is what I like and I only see the same stories...over and over again. I love WDRB but this app is not user friendly and does not seem to carry more that four or five major stories. Will find another news app to use.

New version

The new version of this app is awful. Instead of making stories easier to access, I get presented with just a couple very large photos of news items on my iPad. It takes much more navigating to find stories or view something other than the top news stories. I used to look at this app nearly every morning, but I’m going to look for another news source that is more user friendly.

Too many ads

The latest update has ads out of control and makes it tough to read a story.

Great Coverage, Poor App

This is a review of the app, not the content provided. I am very disappointed with WDRB’s new app. The home screen is organized strangely with both horizontal and vertical scrolling sections of stories. The headlines are hard to read on top of the story thumbnails. The weather section has been redone, but is missing some key links like the weather blog. Pressing play on the forecast video just brings up the WDRB mobile website instead of playing the video directly. Long story short, the old app was better. Much better.

News good, app poor

Love wdrb news but the new app is terrible. Only displays in portrait mode.

New Version is the PITS

The old version worked great. I understand the need to keep on the cutting edge, but y’all dulled the blade so you can’t cut water. If I could give y’all a 0 stars I would!

New UI

This app worked fairly well before the newest update. It would crash sometimes but I understand that, its an app and that happens. Since the new update came out though, none of the links for news articles work. They show there’s no information or no content. I like the new UI but nothing works, please fix this, I like using this app for news in Louisville but right now its unusable.

New Version is not providing story content - error message

Why did you guys switch to UL game on Saturday? I am sure you guys will have some BS excuse. The worst!

Closings? Don’t bother

If you’re looking to find school/business closing via the app, don’t bother wasting your time unless you’re facility will be one of the first five, alphabetically. That’s all you can see in the app, you cannot scroll or search, and it’s all because they had to put 5,348,674,179,983,562,871 ads on every page. You can bet your bottom dollar the ads don’t get cut off/work perfectly. Two stars because there actually is news buried in there somewhere.

Freezing

Love this app. Had it for a long time but just recently upgraded to a iPhone X’s max and now the app is freezing when I open it. Please fix the issue.

Best news channel ever

I watch you all every day great news team keep up the good work

Good news site, but...

WDRB has some great writers and reporters, but it’s very frustrating when a story breaks. Breaking news will get a couple of sentences, ending with “we have a crew on the way to the scene. This story will be updated.” And frequently the update never comes, or comes hours later. It’s like they don’t feel the need to update until their next broadcast deadline. Or maybe they just don’t have the personnel to update. Also, been having trouble lately with the app freezing.

Happy local stories ?

Please place sports related stories into a sports category and relevant national and local news stories in your main events column. Also “If it bleeds it leads” is getting a little macabre. Thank you for asking.

As of a few days ago

Was a pretty good app. As of a couple of days ago I started getting an annoying pop-up ad from the bottom of the screen that keeps popping up over and over again. It will take about a week of this BS and I will delete it.

Awesome

I love this app it shows you live coverage if you’re not able to see it on tv. This is my favorite station. Keep up the great work.

Freezing every time it opens. Aug 29

This is freezing on every attempt to use.

Not working well on iPhone

Can’t really say if it’s me or the app but on my iPhone it is really choppy and occasionally crashes. When swiping thru stories sometimes shows same story two or three times and sometimes won’t load story at all.

News from my hometown, but...

Of the local news sources in Louisville, WDRB is the easiest to navigate, has the least slant left or right and leaves their opinions on the opinion page. My only complaint is the tag they often leave at the end of a news story “We will update this story as it develops”. I have found that means we will never hear about it again or I will need to look elsewhere for updates.

GREAT NEWS TEAM

KEEP GIVING LOUISVILLE, that on point NEWS!

Great iPhone application

The News and Weather area Great apps for quick access to local News and Weather!

WDRB

Best coverage, whether it is breaking news or bad weather, WDRB has the most accurate and dependable information.

Fix your app

App keeps kicking me out right in the middle of reading an article. Don't remember having this issue before last update. This is the only local news app I keep on my phone, and read it daily, but it is becoming frustrating. Very close to deleting the app.

People

I love the people on this channel.

Great App

App is easy to use, gives good info, and is very timely!

Rating

Love this app!! On the go, better than newspaper because it is real time!

WDRB

Great news channel 👍

Crashes. Live feeds.

The live feeds keep crashing.

Finally can cut the cord!

We kept cable because we do not get WDRB on the antenna. Now, we can finally cut the cord and yet enjoy our favorite news channel! Thanks WDRB.

🙂

This app is great! I get news updates even before they hit the news. The weather team is awesome at their forecasting, couldn’t be happier!!

VERY GOOD SOURCE

Of news communications. I often go to this site during the day for latest news. I do wish the stories were updated like you say will happen BUT, does not.

Great coverage!

Always accurate and timely information.

Best in Louisville

I'm always impressed with the Quality of local reporting from WDRB.
