This app is SO much better than KDKA or WTAE. WPXI gives updates on its story and sends push alerts about the updates to breaking news stories. The app is always very well functioned. It is good at delivering the Breaking news locally and nationally. It often issues National alerts before stations like CNN, Fox News, or CBS News do. They always provide Breaking alerts when they get new details or learn an update. It really is so much netter than the other stations! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Solid but too many alerts

Solid local news app. better than other ones for the area. However, the number of push notifications it sends, if you turn those on, is crazy. Literally everything you can imagine, from traffic and weather, national and local news. It must send over 15 a day, and there appears to be no way to customize if you only want a small subset of these delivered. Having to swipe through the number of notifications daily is quite the chore.

Keeping on top of Current Events is a priority.

I read your news articles daily. They are well written. Keeping up on events around Pittsburg and current events in other areas of United States is my top priority. Also World Events are important to keep up with. I also enjoy hearing about my Pittsburgh Teams, Steelers, Penguins and the Pirates! Win or loose they be are my favorites! It is also nice to keep track of entertainment events around Pittsburgh.

Needs another update!

This was once the best local news app. Not sure what you did but now there’s constant problems. You brought back the back button but it still goes back to the top and you need to scroll to where you were. And now it crashes continually. I guess I need to use the other local news apps.

Surveys

After most articles, there is a survey. Some of the questions are of a political nature. Unfortunately, if you give too many replies that reflect a conservative viewpoint, they sabotage your ability to reply in the future by cutting off the bottom half of every question... thereby skewing the surveys true accuracy by falsely over-representing liberal popularity.

Various things

New version of site will not allow me to view in landscape - only panorama Running the same stories for weeks, ie People of Color find ...etc is ridiculous. Do an update. By the way these are racists stories. If you can reverse the “color” or minority description with “white” and then think it’s now racist. - then the original story is racist. BE COLOR BLIND. Act on content of character not skin color. Often your stories do not “finish”. Ie there is a general description but the storyline just trails off.

NewsFlash in the Morning.

I don’t know what it is about the WPXI morning news at 5:00, except I’ve been addicted to it for well over 10 years. It’s the newscasters, it’s Tricia with the traffic, Scott, Katherine, Danielle, Ryan, Gordon, Jessica and sorry if I missed anyone. I enjoy they’re news presentations. I record the 5 & 6 o’clock news every day in case I miss it.

Need to update app more often

I’m so tired of seeing so much worthless junk day after day. This app was never great, but was never this bad. How many different sections do you need?? Certain ones I actually find offensive, due to their content. And, how long are you going to keep out of date articles on here? IUP, fern hollow…to name a couple. I’ve been seeing some of these articles for months. If there aren’t any actual news stories to cover, just have less articles!

Love Wpxi

I always watch Wpxi news. It’s the first station I turn to when for news and weather. Especially if there is breaking news and weather. there is a weather emergency or I need information fast. I have both the news and weather apps! Great job

Good app

This app is way better than KDKA. It doesn’t make you go all the way back to the beginning after you read a story and then you have to find the correct place. And they update their stories KDKA had some of them on for months then go away and in a few days come back . Dump KDKA and get channel 11 news .

Reliable app

Compared to others in the area; this app is consistent with latest news and does not flood you with ads and a video that auto plays on every page.

Not fully operational

The main news stories are east to assess, but no links work elsewhere. For Ex.: When reading a article, there are usually ~5 links at the end of the article & just above that survey that’s on each page. None of those links ever work. Frustrating to try and find where they are located if I do want to read them. Sometimes I just end up logging out if the app and Googling the title.

Too many commercials

Every time you go to watch a video you got a watch commercial first. I understand that’s how you make your money, but I’d rather watch the video first then put a commercial on afterwards. Most of the time I go to watch a video I don’t even click on it anymore.

The Best Newspaper!

I read the paper on line and I enjoy it. I have to say that I do miss getting the paper delivered. I would read it online and the papers would pile up. I had to quit getting it delivered, husband wasn’t happy with all the Newspapers lying around!

Once the best, now a joke

For years, this used to be my favorite news app. Good local news, and national news push notifications that sometimes came before national news apps. Now every notification is vague clickbait trying to get you to open it and make their daily active user stats better. If nothing changes I will soon delete this app for a conpetitor. I am very frustrated with this app’s push notification quality and now firmly do not recommend it.

Review

Why do you have articles which only have partial information and then tell you to find further information at the Pittsburgh Business Times? I do not subscribe to the Pittsburgh Business Times, nor will I ever. In essence, I’ve wasted my time. Luckily, there are several other Pittsburgh news apps which don’t do this; which I consistently refer to to get complete and readily available news and information.

Actually quite trash

Literally have to force close the app every time you open it just to get a story to load, then when you finally get the story to load a video pops up even though you didn’t click on it. And please don’t get me started on the face they have the same news stories EVERY WEEK. SInce November 18 it has been “breaking news” that dish chose to black out all CMG channels. Cause that is what’s important

Too many Notices

Notices are sent too often and I begin to ignore them. At the very least please put more details in the banner notice. I don’t want to be required to click on every notice to see if it’s a story from my end of the world or something that doesn’t concern me.

Crashes constantly

This app is tough to like. One second you are reading an article, the next second the screen goes white or black and you must close the app and start all over again. This pattern repeats itself nearly every time the app is used, so if you find a story that interests you...READ IT QUICKLY!!

Basically Covid News.

News outlets should start creating a stand alone app for Covid news. I got this app because every other local app was dominated by C19 alerts. I get it, the media is obsessed but I’m looking for an app that gives me real local news and traffic alerts. Until the overlords take their fangs out of media I’m going to have to without local news. Get a grip.

Doesn't work correctly

Love when I get a notification for a story I'm interest in, and after clicking on the notification to read more, being directed to an unrelated place and having to search for it. And the WPXI Now in the menu plays commercials over the news or interrupts a news story all together. I mean right in the middle of the live video!!!

Video is no longer full screen

I mainly use this app to watch the morning live news feed. After the latest update the video is no longer full screen on my iPad. Plus, I can longer minimize the app and keep the small floating video. Despite a few nuances, this app used to be a great way for me to catch the news when I wasn’t near my tv.

Too much trouble

It is too difficult to transition from one story to another. Simplify by going directly from one story to another.

Unable to view videos

I have not been able to view video on this app for a few months. Not sure what has changed but the app is terrible now. Also, when you view a story, instead of going back to where you were when you closed it, it goes all the way to the top of the feed again. Extremely irritating. All needs fixed.

Newest update made this app frustrating

The newest update took away the back button and videos dont play. Without the back button you have to use the home button and scroll back to where you were in the app. In addition to this the screen is jumpy. I used to love this app now its just frustrating.

Read Daily but Broken Now

I keep an old iPad running 12.5.5 by the bed to read the news but can no longer use this app after the latest update broke it. I tried enabling analytics to help the developers but there have been no updates since then. Hopefully they will fix it soon and I can change this rating.

Too many notifications

You guys send way too many, not at all important notifications. Most things aren’t breaking news, but you wouldn’t know by reading your notifications. I don’t need a push notification letting me know your AM news is on early due to snow (and 1-3” at that!), or what story is next at 5. If I wanted to watch tv, I wouldn’t need your app. I’ll get my news somewhere else.

Writing and print

There is always a news story that I want to read and when you open it up, the print is super small. You can’t make it bigger and it is to small to read. There are also a lot of grammar errors In the news articles or missing or extra words.

My opinion

You keep the same stories on your page for way to long . Example : the corona virus hair story was on for a week. After one day nobody cares about people with bad hair. We all have bad hair move on to something else. Give us something else to read.

Yikes

This could really be a great site. Way too many ads. Viewing articles to read is atrocious and blocked by the huge newscast video that I can’t eliminate. I often just close the app. Three times yesterday I clicked on articles and they’re linked to a different, unrelated article. Typos and grammar are a disaster. Does no one proofread there?
