Trouble with Live Feed. I really love this app but have recently not been able to get the live feed to work in the mornings. I've missed seeing the news while getting ready for work when the rest of my family is still asleep. Hope this problem is corrected soon.

I Hate This Revision. I have been using this app as my primary news source for the last two years. This latest revision is awful. It requires too much scrolling just to see the stories and ads pop up in the browser for seemingly no reason requiring you to close the browser and go back to the news app. Please bring back the grid that shows all the top stories on one page with a short synopsis and fix the pop up problem. Better yet go back to the previous version. It was way better than this one.

Awful. You don’t have a search feature and the layout is awful. We need yh3 old app back.

Amazing App..... Every time there is breaking news or severe weather You can always count on WHNT to be there for you. Even if you don't live in the Tennessee valley you need this app. :)

Don't like update. Been using WHNT app for yrs. Unfortunately don't like the latest update (or being forced to update it). This version not as user friendly or streamlined. I get that it "looks" cleaner, with the category folders, but it seems cumbersome to go through the folders to find interesting stories. The weather section is not user friendly at a glance.

THE BEST LOCAL NEWS APP BAR NONE. You guys nailed it with the latest version. All the other local guys better come up with something quick. This is now my go to app for local news and especially weather. Man this thing is great!!

Love This App!. This app is exactly what I wanted and needed! I can get breaking news fast as well as the weather. The picture and sound quality of the videos is good. I would recommend everyone in the Tennessee Valley to get this!

The best. Channel 19 is the best around! I’m thankful for the new app and the updates I get each day keeping me up to date on news, traffic and weather updates! You guys are like family! Great job to WHNT Channel 19

This news app is AWESOME!. I have used the CNN app for a few months, then my son showed me this local news app. I love it! Breaking news seems to come through WHNT app before CNN. I love that you can drill down for even more localized news reports. I have had some issues with audio on some videos... but I'm sure it will be fixed. But if you want an app for news... especially north Alabama news, this is WONDERFUL! I don't write many reviews at all, but this one is definitely worth a moment to mention to others. Way to go WHNT!!!! impressive development with this app!

Old app was better. I find the redesigned app to be more confusing with all the ads. No way to go back easily if you tapped one. Slow loading on live stream. To many redirects to your webpage. Not happy with it. 😐

Alerts never connect into story. Every time I get a pop-up notification from this source and click on it, it immediately goes through a pop-up advertisement which I dismiss, and then I can’t ever find the breaking news story that made me come to the site to start with!

App works well and live stream much more reliable!. I like this update very much. The breaking news alerts are great too - thank you for keeping me informed!

Awesome!!!. It's basic and simple but provides easy access to news and weather. I check this app several times a day. Good job so far!!! Thanks!

Love it. This app is really helpful. Love this app

County road 17 in Jackson County.. I heard the road had dropped 18 inches. News coverage only shows 231 cracked road. Please update news footage to cover 17. Residents on the mountain have to travel about seven miles further to get off mountain. Wondering where we are

News & Weather. Love to be informed of the the latest news & weather I’m a roofing contractor that needs to the most up to date on information on the rain events from the best option of the weather for the next day ! I like to have a plan for my guys to be ready to remove and replace a roof with no surprises !! Also just love the up to date news about all the sad fatalities in the storm related events and all the other news of events that I want to pray for..

App locks up when there’s an update. I do not take kindly to apps that force me to update them NOW when I typically do not have time and am trying to access information. It’s a fine app but it should not be forcing me to update it with no option to delay until later.

Crashes a lot. I prefer to receive my news from WHNT, but sometimes the app is quite frustrating. Many times I find a story that indicates a video is included, but have to search for the video from an alternate source due to absence of play feature on this app. Recently, I find that in the middle of reading a story, the app crashes to my home screen. I hope there is an update in the works.

News. I love this app it keeps me up to date on breaking news and whenever it's going to be bad weather without me having to go online. Thanks WHNT Team for all you do

Great news app. Factual. Well written. Grammar and spelling are to be commended. Updated even on weekends. Better than any others in our area.

No arrow to get out of videos. When I watch the videos of stories there is no why to get back to news . No arrow to get out of videos . I use my iPad for app .

New update Mar 28 is great. Initial issue was good but basic. The update is much better - more professional looking, more information, and better formatting.

SPAM notifications. WHNT app sends out notifications for sponsored content like IHOP. I only want notifications for LOCAL NEWS. The only notifications I allowed in the app we're breaking news and weather, IHOP adverts are neither!

Good If You're In Their Coverage Area. It's difficult to rate this app, because it's really going to depend on if you're are in WHNT's broadcast area. If you aren't, this isn't going to be of any interest whatsoever to you. If you are, it's pretty much the best and only option to get North Alabama news through an iPhone app. It delivers a number of local headlines to you in a manner much more effecient than going to WHNT's iPhone compatible site. However, the navigation is pretty rough and not all news stories make it's way from their site to this app. Also, it'd be nice to be able to view video news stories from this app. It needs a lot of work, but it's a great start. If you live in North Alabama, it's a great download. If not, it's not really worth your time.

Jerryhamilton. It provides many current issues with factual information and many human interests story’s

WHNT NEWS. NEWS THAT'S ALWAYS UP TO DATE AND AHEAD OF ALL THE OTHER LOCAL NEWS SOURCES. I HAVE WATCHED IT FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND I TRUST IT COMPLETELY. THE BEST INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING AROUND. THEY ARE IN TOUCH WITH THEIR VIEWERS.

Problems - needs update. I’ve been having problems with this app for weeks. It stops refreshing and I can never see articles past a certain point. Update the app.

NEW APP. The app released Feb 19,2021 is very poorly designed. It is designed for those that can “watch” the news while they are at work, not those of use that may need to catch a “quick read” of a breaking new item. Very disappointed. There are less articles of interest that before. Maybe you should have considered updating your news articles more often than once a week instead of revamping in app to something so unappealing. It has no design flair very basic like something a 6 year old might do.

Thank you!. Thank you WHNT for keeping us up to date with current news events, weather updates and local happenings!

Almost worthless. I previously reviewed that this app was worthless. Well, not it is almost worthless. By that I mean, sometimes I can actually read one story or two before it crashes. After repeated openings and crashes, one is able to read the stories. Finally, the app is great in portrait view (when it works) but does not allow switching to landscape view. Guess only made for iPhone - not iPad. Please fix.

Notifications are clickbait. This was a fantastic app until the notifications turned to clickbait. Would prefer to be notify with the news lead, not “click to find out where it happened”.

Great. This app is just like having Dan with u all the time. It is faster than trying to load the site on the iPhone. Needs a little work but what app doesn't.

One of the two best in Huntsville. This app seems to look a little better on a tablet (ipad) then on a phone, as the designs features work better on a bigger screen, but the news is always solid. Huntsville is blessed with two great news apps - this and WAYY using the ever popular doapp interface. WAFF comes in a distant third using to much national news and content that is the same with other Raycom owned Alabama stations (WBRC, WSFA)

Hate the ads. I had no problems with this app until recently. When I open an article, I am often automatically redirected to a sponsor’s website, usually State Farm.

WHNT. Pros: local news, sports, and weather without having to open a browser and navigate unoptimized web pages. Numerous weather views. Cons: most news stories listed aren't even local, but rather national AP stories. No pictures or video. Feeds only updated a few times a day. No animated radar. No ability to zoom or change overlays on weather maps. No keys for maps. Unclear when weather data was even last updated. Good to see them trying...I guess. And it IS free, but my suggestion is to subcribe to the various local RSS feeds in your reader of choice and download the weather app of your choice. Or use Weather Underground's iPhone optimized website. I KNOW Huntsville has enough out of work computer science folks to do better than THIS!

Excellent. Always keeps me informed on up to date news in my area and areas around the world. Definitely recommend

Wonderful, always updated !. Love it.

Good to see an app for my area. So many apps are geared toward large cities in other parts of the country. It's good to see one that is right in my backyard. When bad weather rolls in, especially, my satellite signal tends to go down. Hopefully this app will help me get current weather info when that happens. I also get most of my news online, so it's great to get some local news while I'm at it. I would have given this 5 stars if it played video clips or gave real-time audio of the broadcast. Maybe the next version?

???? WHNT. I love receiving local news daily. However, there are many misspelled words. (I wonder if I misspelled “misspelled”.). Oh, well.

Easy to use. Loaded with content. Easy to use and I appreciate the push alert options. I like your weather app too.

Whnt news. I am often away from 19 news and my 2 daily newspapers, so I rely on this app to keep me posted. We watch Jerry, Melissa and the whole staff each day when home. Keep up the good work!! William E Tiller

Freezes Up. Lately the app freezes up shortly after I start using it. Please fix!! Not usable!!

Needs work. 19 news is my primary local tv news source of choice. They are often directing viewers to their app for additional info. Often, I don't find what they are noting on the app, or it takes too long. Then if I do find it, and want to share it by "text", usually the "save" button in the upper right corner is blocking me from being able to select the icon. Yes, there are generally other options within the article for sharing. I typically share via text, or email. These other options don't help in that regard. Though one is email, it is an imbedded email service, whereas you have to type in your info, which presumably goes into a database, which I am not desiring to add my email address to. Basically it does not send you to phone email app with the link. If it were to do that, it would also, at least provide me the option to copy link and paste to text, but it doesn't!

Works like a charm. Works great! Only wish there was some pictures to go along with the stories, other than that NO problems. Great for keeping up with Tennessee Valley news and weather.

5 stars. It has the most updated information and it is all true also No inappropriate or unwanted ads or comments great job keep it up!!👏🏽👏🏽

WHNT. I love this app so helpful when cable doesn’t work!! Great job!!!

March For Life in Washington DC. Why was there no coverage of the 2019 March for life in Washington DC???

Best News App for N. AL/SM TN. This is absolutely the best NEWS APP for coverage of North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee news. The local news setting for my city and county are spot on and they cover all important news with no bells and whistles which I like. I don’t have to do a lot of searching and they include you to be able to report news straight from the app and report corrections if you find one. I rarely do and it’s only simple typos to help get those corrected. They make you feel like you’re part of their news team. 5,000 stars!

Frustrating. The version of the app has changed several times since i first downloaded it, quite some time ago. The latest version will only refresh when it wants to, not when i refresh it.

19 is the best!!. I trust Jason Simpson and his team for weather!! He’s always right on target and I know I can depend on his forecast to be accurate!! Love the news team too!! I only watch channel 19!!!

Great. The app works great for me and beats the WAFF's app by a mile. The ads in this app are not intrusive and frustrating in WHNT's app.

No landscape view?. The lack of landscape view for iPad makes this latest update a step backwards. Too hard to read comfortably. I'm deleting it.

News. Since we stopped getting a newspaper I look at WHNT online news several times a day- love the app

Please fix!. Crash, crash, crash! Won't even open, would love to be able to use this please fix it! I will raise my review when I can open it and yes I have deleted and reinstalled several times.

Terrible upgrade. Crashes frequently and it easy to find articles of interest.

Needs a better editor.. This morning I pulled up the app and it was full of grammatical errors and typos. If you can't proofread your headlines and news stories, you lose credibility. I have deleted it and installed WAFF instead.

Glad I'm not the only one who hates this app!. Bad, bad move on this update. Not user friendly at all. Have to use the channel 48 app to find anything. Won't be back anytime soon, WHNT. Sorry. Back again...tried to give app another chance, but nope. Still hate it. Too many adds! Can't finish reading a news story before it automatically goes to an ad. On to Channel 48 I go...

Weather delay info incomplete. They don't include daycare delay or closing info when there is bad weather. Other stations do so I'm switching!

No thank you. Not a fan of the new app version. As several others have mentioned, it will not rotate on the iPad and I do not like only being able to see two news items at a time. In addition, it does not refresh unless I pull down from the top and release.

Great. We depend on these folks for news and weather! Wish they would only report Auburn sports...but I guess no one is perfect!

Whnt 19!!!!!!. Awesome! I love the weather part. Only one thing: let there be a chart or key or something to the watches and warnings. Other than that, awesome!

Worst news app in Alabama. Slow to update..... graphics poor quality. Old news stays up much to long. Pitiful

Frustrating and useless. Trying to catch the 10 pm weather with severe storms approaching ...live broadcast portion of this app is useless. Freezes up and drops out more than it works...totally missed the wx forecast. Updated version no better than the last. ( positive note: the advertisement at the beginning of the live broadcast plays flawlessly every time! )

Very useful!. I love being able to live stream the newscast. Makes it totally worth it!

Not a fan of the new layout.. I wish I hadn't updated! This used to be my favorite local news app, but now the stories are very large on the screen and it also takes longer to scroll through to a story I might be interested in reading. Very disappointed.

I'm always informed with this app!. I love this app! It updates me on all stories and if I click I can go straight to the story and share wherever I like. This app is awesome!

Junk. Complete and total crap. Crashed everytime at the splash screen. Only gave one star because it's not possible to give none.

Good. Much much much better!!! Old one was bad This one is good app to have. Way to go!

Love it!. I love getting my news and updates with this app. Super easy and fast

Perfect news app. Perfect news app for what I want to do. Many others are too slow or updating as I scroll. I'm not interested in the videos, just the stories and this app does a good job.

Way Too Many Ads. I understand your trying to make a little money but the number of ads make your app seem like a scam. Also the forced video ads during severe weather broadcasts are really dangerous when seconds count.

Great new layout!. The new 2.0 version is MUCH better. You can watch video clips much easier and watch the news live. Very impressed. Lots better than WAFF and WAAY apps.

Sound doesn't work. The only reason I downloaded this app was because of the live streaming feature. Since I have no sound when I try to play the live streaming, this app is useless to me.

Whnt. I absolutely love this app since the last update! Before it was ok, but nothing special. Now it is fabulous ! Thanks a million for this update!8

Is this ALL Hsv can come up with?. I was so excited to see that our local news had an app! I never get a chance to watch the news, kids take over tv! After downloading the app, I was extremely disappointed! When does it get updated? This is a BIG city, I know there is MORE news out there than this app provides! SO DISAPPOINTED!

AWESOME. Great update! Love the new design, it is very clean and easy to navigate!!!

Great app. Great app always on the min updates love it and what!!!

Not happy. The app crashes constantly since the new update started, more difficult to navigate. Not very user friendly, nor is it very compatible with iPad. Somebody needs to rethink this.

New update is bad!. Used to be my favorite local news app mainly due to limited commercials ads. Now, noticed more ads, won't rotate on iPad and just annoying to try and read. - Latest update....still awful and still won't rotate! Next latest update still bad.

Amazing App..... Every time there is breaking news or severe weather You can always count on WHNT to be there for you. Even if you don't live in the Tennessee valley you need this app. :)

Solid app. Great to get local news and weather!

Very very basic. Boring -- kick it up a few notches -- this has potential

Annoying. I deleted the app I have had for several years because of pop up ads for war games that there is no way to say no to. It also ask to use my location without a way to say no. Shut the app down just to get away from the intrusive, persistent, annoying, in your face ads.

No WiFi. Seems to work ok on 3G. No dice on Wi-Fi. Having to rotate phone back and forth between menu and content gets old. Needs rewrite to use more phone features , ie rotation & zoom.

Good app. Next to be less big pictures

Sad. Will not load, crashes at the loading screen.

Weather watcher. No live weather cast. What good this app! I use Internet because of satellite tv weather issues. Need a app for ipads that works while in a storm shelter

Terrible Update. What happened to landscape mode? I'll stick with one of the other local station apps. Let me know when you decide to fix this one.

Great app!. Keeps me up to date on news in the Tennessee Valley.

Great for news but.... Please! I don't want to WATCH every story I read! Let me choose which videos I want to see!

Love It. Very quick at notifications

Almost!. Better improvements, but the "watch live" does not work. Never has since I downloaded the app.

Great app. Love the new changes!!

New app. MUCH BETTER! The app works now and is infinitely better than the previous version. Video streaming, etc., major improvement. Thank you!

Won't open!!!. C'mon Dan can you get this fixed? I to was excited when I heard about this app!

Mediocre. For a free app, I'm not going to complain. It's pretty basic and straight forward. More content from the website would be nice. A more sleek interface would help out tons.

Steady decline. The WHNT app appears to be in steady decline with each update. Now it seems they have removed the weather section altogether, in an effort to drive users to their dedicated weather app.

Bad. This is the worst update ever. The new radar map is horrible looking. Looks like smeared graphics. It's so bad, I'm looking for a new go to weather app. Maybe 48 or 31 has one. The update kind looks like a really bad bad imitation of HTC sense 1.0

It's Pretty good!. Well...It's pretty good! I like that it's there anytime you need it, well atleast if your iPhone or whatever is charged!😃

Dislike. I dislike the new version of this app. I prefer the previous version of the way it was layout. The view will not rotate on the iPad. I will not be using this app until the previous version is available or another update.
