Meigs County can’t get Channel 10!

We always enjoyed watching channel 10, but it is no longer offered by our local cable service. When I watch a little news on my phone channel 10 app, Meigs County isn’t even shown on the weather map! Our two oldest grandchildren are students at The Ohio State University- we would like to have your news channel so we know a little more about Columbus. With the coronavirus updates given by the governor, we don’t see them. We are the poorest county ( or second poorest) - we have no hospital, no public transportation, no jobs. The school district we live in is the largest employer in the county. Just a little background on us- I do appreciate getting to get a little news from your channel on my phone.

Personalization Is Key

I like how this app has a fresh design and has much more personalization capabilities than many other local (and even national) news apps. There are definitely a good amount of ads, but they could be worse and more excessive, especially nowadays. But what really sticks out to me is the amount of personalization features. You don't need to allow breaking news notifications for every alert or none at all...just what matters to you. The homepage is personalized based on what you want to see (separate from notifications) as well. Even some of the weather information and alerts can be personalized by location (not just Columbus). This is by far one of the better free news apps, and there being plentiful local news makes it even better.

I have been a supporter of channel 10 since I was a kid, I knew the owners, I was interviewed several times on various issues years ago, I have seen The Direct support from 10TV as a board member of Charity Newsies, giving to our commmunity in so many ways , their fair coverage of issues that affect us all. 10 TV has seasoned people who are respected, looked up to and take part in our community. The Wolfe Family are Champions to our city, helped shape it and make it a place to want to come to. We who have known them, have been friends to many of them, only can say one thing about this station, CLASS And RELIABLE is two words I would use to honor them Alan R

Stop the Liberal bias

I appreciate the local news and weather. I am disgusted by the obvious liberal bias in headlines and stories that any kind of political element. Examples are glorification of BLM riots yet vilification of the so called Capital “insurrection” (it was an FBI inside job designed to entrap fringe nut-jobs and allow a smear of all legitimate supporters of the President), espousing all the fear, gloom and doom of the COVID pandemic while discrediting proven, cost-effective and readily available remedies (it was a designed problem created by big pharma and China with a premeditated solution to extort billions from the government and insurance companies), etc.

Worst update ever

Did some 4 year old win an app design contest? Oh wait. A 4 year old could make a better app than this, why don’t you go and interview one and get some ideas. You could cover yourselves with advertisement stickers and walk around looking just as dumb as this app. I wake up. I open 10TV news. Every day. One day it said I had to download new app, I thought okay... nothing wrong with old one however maybe this will be even more amazing. It’s exact opposite. I click on story to read, and while I’m scrolling on my phone, I end up tapping an ad. The ad opens my internet browser which isn’t what I wanted. So I have to close that, go back to 10TV and now the page I was on is either different or it’s jumped to a different part of the page and I have to partially re-read to find my place again. Either that or I end up reading the end of the article and it spoils the journalists story. Shame on you 10TV. Thanks for forcing me to go to NBC4 which isn’t much better than this crap but at least it doesn’t open 10 windows on my phone that wasn’t intended. It’s hard to find the story amongst the ads, it loads very slow, and the hot keys at the bottom are stupid.

News

Even when the new is horrible, sad, or ridiculous, you make me feel safe. I miss Chris so much. Thank You Mayor Ginger for doing the right thing. Thank You 10 TV for reporting it. I don’t understand why wearing a mask is a political thing. It I s either the right thing to do or the wrong thing. Even you Republicans know what is safe. Stop being stupid.

Poor layout

Too many ads, poor layout, where is the menu to select content desired. Did they not allow users to test this before launch. Would have given zero stars if available. Who is advising 10TV management, don’t want social media just want headlines efficiently laid out and tiled without being forced to see more ads. The reviews written should be on the app not 10TV news, their news is great, the new app is very very bad and a walk back from the previous version. The ratings appear rigged. One day the average rating is 1.6, now the average is 4.3. Someone appears to be stuffing the ballet box. This even though almost all written reviews are highly negative. Can we not trust the ratings from Apple Store any more?

3 years ago, Sorry to report this

Works ok on iPad Pro but not so good on iPhone 10

At least once a day and usually more when switching stories or categories, it just gives me the white screen with the blue spinning circle in the middle. The only way to fix the problem is to shut off the phone. The iOS software is always current and my wireless is very fast at 200 megabits. I like the app when it is working it is 5 stars but really aggravated otherwise when it is a zero. Fortunately in Columbus, the other TV stations apps work fine.

10 TV SHOULD BE ASHAMED

App is horrible way to many ads, I get more ads the news articles I’m able to read without the page jumping all around from loading new ads. Very difficult to navigate. This is no longer a news source seems more like an ad source!! I uninstalled the app and won’t be using it any longer until they make huge improvements and get rid of all of the ads.. if they ever do this was my only new source app I used guess I gotta start looking. However it’s total garbage and I really can’t believe they would release something like this. I’d be ashamed as a new outlet to be associated with it!!! Can’t give any lower of a score or I would.

Has deteriorated over last several months

This was, at one time, a great APP but no longer. Half of the time when trying to read a news article, I get the little spinning circle and I have to go back to the headlines. Also, I get half way through and article and they try and load an ad and things start jumping around. Very frustrating. Loading the latest update has not helped.

Works for a while then freezes

I have not been a fan of this app since the redesign, I preferred the old format with all news in one feed instead of creating sections. But my main issue is after I’m on the app for 5-10 minutes it freezes and will not open additional headlines. I have to then close the app and reopen but typically it annoys me so I do not bother. Lucky for 10TV all other local tv news apps are worse than theirs so I’ve continued to use it but keep looking for other options for local news. I have an iPhone 8 with software up to date

Better Layout, Worse Ads

I understand the need for advertising revenue, but the rolling ads that follow you around are super annoying. I guess it’s a little better than the NBC4 app that has an ad every other story, but it’s still too intrusive for my liking. That being said, the layout is much cleaner and simpler. Much easier to navigate.

LocalNews 24/7

WBNS 10 News Columbus keeps me updated on local, state and national news every day all day long! If news breaks over night I get notified even if I am not watching. I have their app on my phone & Roku! The onky local station making my Columbus news available in the style I prefer! A Big THANK YOU to the entire staff!

I can’t even

I love 10tv and I’ve had this App since 2009. However this new version is horrible. It’s slow, lags and drains my battery. I don’t care for the layout either it’s hard to navigate. I like simple! The worst is the adds! I understand that’s how you make your money but the layout of sentence add sentence add popup add sentence makes it extremely difficult to read. Plus I will be in the middle of reading something and an add will popup and push the story down the page. I’m now searching for a new news outlet that’s at least readable.

Deleted the app today

I have to echo other users; no matter what settings you choose, this thing is a epic battery eater. Waaaaaaay too many ads (tiktok? Really?). The videos stutter and restart multiple times. The articles constantly jump trying to load ad content. There’s an ADA angle here, if I were visually impaired this jumping would be brutal. I was a habitual 10TV app user and really liked the simplicity of the old app. I gave the new version time for sanding off the rough edges, but time’s up, y’all. Please test this stuff before launching it into the public like this.

AWFUL

Bring back the old app. Or drastic improvements need for the new one. No longer are you Able to find things like gas, traffic, school business closings. Way to many ads much difficult to navigate. Very poor job 10TV. I sincerely hope other news apps are not as bad as this one that has been created. Used to like yours

More opinion than fact

This news is written as if you have no personal reasoning skills and have to rely on some hack to “fact check” everything for you. You know when more than half of the headlines start with “No,…” or “Yes,…” that you are reading opinion and not fact. It’s condescending and dumb to try to present this as fact or news. On top of that, most of the headlines are fluff and the stories are pretty thin. The app might function ok but the content is garbage.

Stops opening articles

Most of the time, this app is pretty good, especially the Verify section. However, after about 3 articles, it suddenly stops opening articles and just has a buffering-type circle and just sits there, not opening anything. This has happened for a long time, and none of the updates they do ever fix it. I have great wifi, and no other apps do this, only 10TV.

Deleted your app today

I wake up every morning to read the news and weather everyday for years but not anymore. Since the update you seem to think people want to read your ads. Well guess what they don’t. This app is cluttered with ads and then a story here and there. Plus it drains your battery with background activity all day long, even if you shut off background activity on your phone. NBC4 is no better but at least I can find article’s to read. This is not a news station anymore it is an advertisement company. Bring back the old app.

Very Nice

I absolutely love the new app, I’ve been waiting for the Tegna web and app experience, it’s very nice maybe a few more adds than I would like to see would be my only complaint. Much cleaner streamlined user interface. Love the favorites and customizable alerts and weather. Much better than the old app.

Verify Section

Love that they have added the Section called “Verify” where they verify issues that are wrongly reported or questioned. This is a valuable tool. Would love to see an archive of these videos and a list where we can look them up quickly. Thank you for these!

Worst app on my phone

This latest update is absolutely horrible. Who in the world approved this? He or she should be fired, along with the designer of the app. Too many ads. Not enough news. And then the same stories repeat and repeat as you scroll, just in different font and/or size. It’s not even worth my time opening the app. Based on the other reviews of this subpar update, you’ve lost a lot of 10TV app users to your competitors. I’m now one of them. It would be more beneficial to just completely start over then to even try to lure people back with an update. It’s THAT bad.

Channel 10 Rules!

Wonder newscasts such a wonderful team. They are like family in my home as I watch the events of the day. From the weather to sports and all areas of the news everyone is so good at what they do! Great app for Channel 10 as well as very informative. Kudos to you and your team. Kindest Regards, Jacqueline Leger

Jerry Ravish

I called Channel 10 about a month and a half ago suggesting Jerry do 30 second or one minute spots during the unrest in Columbus. I really enjoy all the air time you gave him. He’s such a pleasure to watch and listen to. I have watched him and Channel 10 for over 45 years. Keep up the good work. Ron Foote

Tough navigation to multiple sections.

Adding to my previous post..... after a few days, I find more and more of which to be critical. Yes, the ads are cumbersome. Too many ‘clicks’ to find worthwhile content, etc. Also, while I appreciate being ‘greeted’, I don’t need the 3-4 second delay caused by the app saying ‘Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening’. Sorry team WBNS/Tenga.....this just isn’t even close to what we should expect in 2020. Understanding where I am in the app is challenging so far. Also swiping to read next story stops at 5 for me. I am encouraged though based on this apps predecessor.

Ads ruin the app

Overall performance and user-friendliness are more than adequate. The way that the ads make the app jump around each time they refresh and constantly change the page about is infuriating. I understand that the piper needs paid but there has to be a better way to program it that doesn’t make it act like a free game that is advertised on social media with all the ads.

Getting better but repeating stories.

As you scroll down through the feed many of the same stories are repeated, this has been going on for a long time.

10TV Is My News Source

I always have my IPhone and when I get alerts from my 10TV app I read them right away. I keep up on news and don’t have to be at my T.V. all the time. Thank you 10TV for all the years I have watched you! My favorite channel.

Too much content

Your unable to expand the viewing screen on a tablet or phone for a full view while watching a live broadcast as the old app. In other words, the viewing screen does not expand. The banner pop up over the viewing screen cannot be closed. To many categories to select. Over complicated for those not proficient with the app The app continues to update draining the battery The previous app was user friendly without too much navigation

I like the new app, but the old one was better

10TV new news app is good, but I like the older version better. The access to new is kinda limited to just one page. Unlike your previous app where different new stories were on multiple pages now it’s just one page and weather. I also wish it would show news in my area not just in Columbus.

More frequent updates

I like 10 TVs app; however, it would be nice if it was refreshed and updated more frequently. I typically see old news even on the current day.

Who thought this up?

This app needs a quick redesign. Where does one go to find topics such as weather,sports, business, etc. ? All that shows is a single screen which one has to scroll to another screen,, blindly trying to find subjects of interest. The old app had multiple windows and a pull down menu. There is no other news app that follows this stupid format. Bold type greetings and pretty faces won’t make up for easy accessible information that is missing.

3 years ago, Julchaz923

I liked it better the other way

It’s hard to read the news with all the videos going. It seems there is less stories this way. The weather section is useless. I either use a weather app or watch it on tv. On the 10TV app there’s hardly any info for weather.

Honesty

10 TV has usually been pretty good at calling balls and strikes I.e. fair, fact based, unbiased reporting. I like that because I no longer listen or trust any national media outlet. Plus their weather dept. is the best around in my opinion!

Garbage

I used to rely heavily on this app for local news. The new version is garbage. It has way more ads and way less functionality. Very disappointed. Whomever was behind this change should probably lose their job.

Gave it only one star but every time I tried to send my feedback the nickname was taken. Let’s see if I use the same nickname and can submit now that I give it a 3. But this new app is HORRIBLE!

Accessibility

This app is good, but does not show up well for a person using screen reading software, who is blind, on an iPhone. Please make sure that your news app is accessible for all, including persons with disabilities, persons with visual disabilities, persons who use screen reading software such as voiceover. Or Google talk back.

Update not so great

I used to like your app. Not so much now. If I want a video to play I will play it, but It is annoying to click on a new story and want to read what it’s about without a video playing. Or should I say advertisement playing....Then the actual story. If I want to watch a video I should have the option. Not just have it automatically start when I am trying to read.

I moved to another state and like to keep up on Columbus news. But the app just spins and spins now. It won’t open any of the article notifications it pops up on my Lock Screen. Can we get an update??

Fix the privacy pop up

It popped up for me to approve or not approve the tracking, but it’s not letting me approve it, nor is it letting me close the window that popped up, essentially making the app useless. Redownloaded it, it worked fine for a day, until the pop up reared it’s head and bricked it.
