I really don’t like sports, especially the Huskers. Being a native of Omaha I am sick of having Lincoln's FB team jammed down my throat. Especially when they got rid of UNO’s team because of feared competition. So when I got the app and was getting husker updates I sought to eradicate them from my phone. Luckily there is an option to customize the news updates you get in the app... except even after I turned off sports updates, I still was seeing husker updates pushed onto my phone. I would really appreciate it if when I turn off sports, I would not get sports updates on my phone... especially those from a different city FB team.
Hey guys, having news and weather information at our fingertips is great… opening the app and having video pop ups with audio is not. Having to listen to it for a pre-determined amount of time makes it worse. Especially when trying to stay quiet… The best part of having this stuff on a phone is not having to watch commercials. I understand the need for advertising dollars, but please stop with the video ads. This makes me close the app and go to other news sources. Keep your relevance by not giving your customers things that they don’t want.
No matter where I am at I either can’t pull this app up at all or it takes forever for it to come up. I can sit right in front of router and same thing. This is only app I have problems with. I have deleted it and reinstalled it same problem.
Piece of junk app. Since the latest update I have to open it at least 5 or more times to actually get it to work. It just keeps crashing before it even opens. Also, too many ads. It’s gone downhill just like the station has. The anchors on their now are terrible, especially that chick with the monotone voice that acts like she’s going to cry on every story she reads.
I want to read the news on the app and not be forced to endure commercials first—of any length or number. This app continues to deteriorate catering to commercials and not readers. There’s no where on the app to give feedback or to find who to contact which makes it seem like they don’t care about their readers or their input as long as they make money from commercials! Horrible customer focus!
Do you realize that the Buick commercial can repeat 4 to 6 times before the news starts up again. It’s so annoying that we started to turn the app off because it’s been happening a lot. We also have to reinstall and install the app numerous times as it freezes.
It used to be the type in this news app was bold, like Reader view. Now, even though I select large print in this app, it doesn’t change. it’s no longer in bold. It is very difficult to read the news without having it bold face type. I have selected bold tape face and large print on my phone but it still doesn’t change the typeface in this app. I used to be able to read it, now I can’t.
App I just getting better. They have stopped the opening adds and now include more news both, local, national and international. I wished the photos were expandable so be could see greater detail in the picture.
They post news to slow to this app. Most the time I find local new from hearing it from other people before your app posts it with way less info then I can learn from a friend... one example the music for vets!! That’s really important and you guys posted it around 615 and it ended at 7... way to go do you guys hate vets? words from Ron Swanson dear frozen yogurt be ice cream or be nothing!
Wow so glad I looked at an update from from sweaty guy that can’t speak
I think that coming on less than a minute before other stations then showing a sweaty guy that can’t talk and then having a three minute advertisement ruins it for me. I doubt I will ever looking at breaking news from you again but thank you
Stop the many news posts on everything about Covid and the experimental vaccine!! It's repetitive and stupid to shove it down our throats day after day after day for a year now! It's ridiculous! Go back to reporting local and national news like you should!
“Breaking news” should not include Nebraska football
Here we go again. Football season and never-ending alerts about football. Sorry but football is not breaking news. The people who want alerts about it can check the box for alerts about spirts news. I guess I’ll have to uninstall the app again until football season is over. 🙄
Whenever I get a breaking news alert I tap on it and it takes me into the app and that’s where the adventure begins. Have to search and search for the story and never seem to be able to find it so I give up. They need to tweak some things then it should be a good app but right now it’s just too cumbersome and lacks a smooth flow.
This has been an ongoing issue. Today, it took 7 attempts to open before it actually did. I like the story layout, but it doesn’t matter when the majority of the time the app won’t open. Deleting and switching stations. Very disappointed WOWT because I’ve been a long-time follower.
This used to be my favorite local news source. But for the last 8 months they have been vomiting nothing but had left liberal agenda. I deleted the app today when I opened it and was forced to watch a Joe Biden ad before I could continue. No bias reporting is a thing of the past. I’ll never again rely on WOWT.
Periodically when attempting to launch the app, it hangs up or immediately terminates. Seems like issues began when adds were added to the launch program.
I am not trying to be mean, I am just surprised that periods and commas are not used correctly and where they don’t make any sense. Stories could be proofread before being posted. Maybe 4th grade grammar being used. Unfortunately, for me, the stories are hard to read with all of the mistakes...
In settings I’ve clearly checked which specific alert warnings I prefer. Why then am I getting alerts for EVERYTHING? I don’t need alerts telling me it’s going to be a nice day today!
Advertisements are across news stories which make it almost impossible to read them and no way to close out of them to be able to read what’s behind it
The last month they have ad that pops up for long time before you can get into app. Today it was trying to download game. Done with it. Deleted app from my phone. Had been using app for several years. Must have idiots managing the app now.
Can no longer view weather, have to download a special weather app. Why? It was more practical and sensible to have everything in one app. Zero stars for channel 6. Deleted.
This app used to be awesome. But now I have to watch a game preview before I want to see a story or get the weather NO it's awful. I am going to delete it until the ads go away again!!! BOOOOOOO TO ADS!!
Wow, you’d think a major tv station could produce an interesting and informative website. Not so for this one, it’s terrible. It’s so cumbersome and confusing and muddled up with ads. I’m deleting it as it’s actually irritating.
Ever since the last update, the app often freezes. The advertising space at the bottom is empty when this happens so I assume there is a problem loading an advertisement.
The app has stopped working. Contacted them several times. Now it opens a car ad and then stops working. This app has 115 reviews. The KETV app has 2,500 reviews! Are they ever going to fix it?
Local news as it is today, is just a giant ad revenue machine; their app is no different. The Weather portion is useful, though, so there’s your 2 Stars.
I’ve never had a problem with this app - I’ve had it for years but recently I can’t even get through an article without it crashing. Please fix it! Also proofread but that’s not the app’s fault.
It worked fine until yesterday. I can’t open any articles anymore. I did everything that I know to fix it, but I’m not going to go stir crazy trying to fix it. Bye bye WOWT app!
I want one app that will provide me with both the news and weather but now when I click on the weather it wants me to download another app. Nope. Goodbye WOWT, hello KETV.
This might be a good app but when you open it there’s this full page ad that endlessly comes up every time the app is accessed. It annoying because it always pops up first. I just don’t open it anymore because I don’t like the prerequisites. Reviews are redundant Ad’s ad’s ad’s BIG AD’s If you like ad’ this’ll be a good app for you.
My only issue is how the ads look just like news stories. I'd prefer it to be more noticeable that it isn't. I don't like clicking on things like that.
I open the app only to be greeted with a sleep joe Biden add. Nope. That’s an automatic uninstall. As a news source it is your job to neutrally report the news. Not shove your bs bias. Exactly where fake news is made.
