Great app especially for weather alerts

I’ve been a fan of 13 news now for years and years I’m periodically I do channel surf to other stations and I always come back to 13 news now. This team seems to be more professional and yet friendly. I definitely recommend this station!!

13 ABC News

13 News is my go to app for all things news. They update their app constantly to deliver accurate news and breaking news. Their weather section is also very accurate, the best forecasters in our area. Finally, their app is very easy to navigate and use.

Only good for notifications

This is a terrible app. The best thing that works for it are the notifications it sends to my phone with a one line description of what is goi no on. Actually opening the app and navigating it is a nightmare. Ads are the worst! They have to slowly load into every page. You can try to scroll while they load in but you will just end up clicking one while it is still loading, thus sending you to the ad’s page. I love Channel 13 News. But this app should be trashed and remade from scratch.

Mostly loud annoying video game ads

I like this station the best but the app is too annoying to use. I get an alert on something then go to the app to find the story. I click the story and there is a video that starts but without sound. I stupidly click the video to get sound only to be redirected to a 30 sec very loud annoying ad for a game. Once that ends the video plays but it is not the news alert but something older related to that topic. So after a few minutes of frustration I still never got to see information from the alert.

The breaking news alerts and updates keeps me motivated and interested in reading the posted articles! I’m always interested in the weather alerts!

Ad videos

I’d loved to see the video ads taken off your videos. I’m not interested ad videos in your news videos when I pull up to watch weather videos or updates on the Coronaviruss . I’m sure I’m not the only one that finds it very annoying having to watch one of them before I can watch the videos that are posted by channel. Ad videos neeed to go.

Difficult to use

The other app was easier to use. This one also comes and goes! Each time I go to it the app wants me to go to the new one despite the fact that I had already done that! Please work out the bugs ASAP.

Disappointed

At the age of 78, I will never understand why good things change. Do people get paid for this unnecessary confusion? I am glad that there are alternative sources for news

Notifications Issue

Have only turned on Severe Weather Alerts for Watches and Warnings, but am receiving all your inane notifications. After the recent tornado, weather alerts are important, but this bug will lead to people turning it off. Also, when watching weather segment on the app, turning the phone to landscape causes video to freeze.

Horrible

What a horrible new change of the old app. Where is the traffic map I could quickly go to to check for the obstructions on the way to work? I tap on there traffic at all I get our video news stories of what’s going on, not the traffic blockages that I need to know. The weather portion doesn’t give me a quick review of what’s going to happen today which is what I need to know as I go out the door. I’m deleting this app it’s horrible

New website

You’re new website is not good. There are too many pop ups and ads that block the news and menu items. I have sporadically been able to vote in daily polls. I liked your old site 100 times better!!!!

All stars

In my house, when “turn on the TV, I want to watch the news” is stated, all know that the only news team we watch is WVEC. I like checking the app to confirm what others are telling me is “news.” Keep up the great work!

13 News Now

It allows me to get the latest updates on weather and current events while I am unable to watch on the TV.

Reporting content

In comparison to other local news source, 13 News seem to cover more reports featured on their user friendly app.

More work needed.

Change is usually good but the newest WVEC app revision wasn’t for the best. Seems like everything is all over the place and less organized now. I used to be able to quickly navigate to the traffic map (which is now completely different and doesn’t have the quick access jam cams). These changes have me deleting the app and finding a new traffic conditions and news source.

Not Happy With Changes

What happened to the user friendly app that this is replacing. I could easily find traffic and weather. Now I have to search for them each time I need them. I personally liked the old traffic map rather than using Waze. I like the quick view of I64 when we get ready to travel. Think this app needs more work.

The only local news that we watch.

The channel 13 local news crew is the best. They are accurate, personable and seem to really all get along. Keep it up!

Review

Channel 13 has always been #1 in my book for news and weather. Thank you Channel 13 for keeping us informed.

Why I watch WVEC

The friendliest and uplifting group to wake up to each day. They are informative and non bias. It starts my day off in a good mood. We grew up in Tidewater but now reside in Hertford, NC and it’s good to see familiar faces and places. Judy Owens

Terrible

Was using this app, for a long time. However, for some unknown reason, it will no longer work on my iPad. Works great on the iPhone.

Ugh

Ugh! I was a big fan of the old app, but can’t find jack on this one. Time to explore other stations’ apps. Channel 13 is my favorite news channel, but not this app.

Thank God foe the 13News app! Now that sports are back on, my husband hogs the family tv 24hrs and I often miss the live airings. With the app, I can grab a cup of coffee and quietly watch it on my phone without interruption.

Deleted the new app

I just deleted the entire News app. It is difficult to use and Frustrating....totally not user friendly. I tried to return to the old app but it won’t let me. Why make a change when everything was working fine?

I enjoy the mix of well reported local/national news and the comradely among the DayBreak personalities. I understand why WVEC has been the nearly perpetual recipient of the Murrow Award, the best is always rewarded.

Not much to it

For local weather this is one of the the best apps I’ve tried. I would give it five stars if was only a weather app. But it’s also a news app. For news it gets one star. Its probably the worst news app I’ve seen.

Still needs work

Anytime I get a notification, when I click on it, the app will open and display a page saying I’m not connected to the internet (when I am) and the refresh button does nothing...

Freezes

App also freezes after about 3 minutes. You have to close it and then reopen constantly

5 years ago, good ol nicknames

Where did it go?

I agree with the other user. This version is NOT user friendly. You have to go through so much junk to find traffic weather and, heaven forbid, you are trying to find the opinion poll. Better luck next time cause this time you missed the ball.

Too Busy

The new app is way to busy and difficult to find news stories. They seem more concerned about getting an advertisement out instead of the news.
