The world around me. I feel updated on important news stories in my area as they happen. When viewing the news on television is not always an option it’s nice to be kept aware of this fast changing world on my phone.

Search feature. WPXI app does a good job of notifications and breaking news stories, local stories, national stories. However it does not have a “search” feature.

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.

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!!

WPXI. WPXI is and has been my favorite news station for many years. As soon as I awake in the morning and the last thing I see at night is WPXI.

You are #1. Of the local news, you are the best news site, most news, immediacy of stories, phone app is best. Keep it up. Thanks

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 .

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 ads. There are too many ads between news items.

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.

Stories. I wish you could look up , all the past years of stories from the news ..!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not a good update. You say you made the latest version easier to navigate. Well on the homepage you could look at a story and click the back arrow when you were done. Why did you remove it?!!! Now I have to hit home and go all the way back to the beginning. Stupid.

To many adds. We live in a rural area where the adds slow loading to the point of not working sometimes.

Keeping in touch. Love being able to keep in touch with the happenings in the Burgh! Even though I live in Florida, Pittsburgh is always in your heart and Channel 11 is my way of keeping it there!

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.

Amazing App! Amazing News Station. 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!

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!

Freezing. Once in awhile when the weather is stormy the site will freeze up

It’s happening now. They are reporting right on the spot. Gives me updates as soon as anything happens news or weather! Great job!!👍

Same stories. It seems like the same stories are left on for days at a time with nothing else to put up.

Retired. Great news and weather. Would like to see more weather videos of all the weather details not just tune in to the T V channel 11. Thank you!

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

Love the app. Love the app. Only gave 4 stars because there is no search button, and when I just catch something quick or at the end I can’t search for it . Very informative .

Good information, faulty app. The WPXI app doesn’t work well on any of my Apple devices. The text loads slowly and disappears frequently. Sometimes the text doesn’t load at all.

Little slow on updates. Could be better at updates and organization of information.

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.

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.

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!!!

A piece of my hometown always in my pocket. I love that I can live thousands of miles from home and whenever I’m homesick or simply want to know how beautiful Pittsburgh winters are I turn on channel 11 news and skim till my hearts content

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

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?

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.

Possible improvements. If you have an editor, perhaps he, or she should be doing a much better job. The quality of the writing is often grammatically poor.

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.

Needs better updates. I check this often though, some of the same stories remain after months of posting. Needs better updating on sports results especially. Also, spelling errors.

Sylvia. I’m not happy with the new school delays. I’m also not happy with how long it takes to update the app with news. Always the same stories especially on the weekends The other thing is this website is never updated on the weekends. Same news for 3 days. .

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.

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!

The best news !!!!. A great way to start your day !

Great for local. This is a great app for local Pittsburgh news. Other than that anything covered nationally is very biased and agenda driven. Stick to the local news and please sometimes have some positive things from around our city. Thanks

Nothing but clickbait. The notifications are less than informative. They give no information about the breaking news instead requiring the user to click into the app and read the story for any valuable info. Deleting.

Weather team 11. Great app to track storms everywhere and to track what’s going on around the world

You are #1. Of the local news, you are the best news site, most news, immediacy of stories, phone app is best. Keep it up. Thanks

Too many ads!!!. Way, way, way to many ads to weed through!

Copies your clipboard when you open!!. Warning - This app copies the contents of your clipboard when you open it. I did not agree to this, nor can I find it in any terms and conditions. For what reason with a news app need to copy the contents of your clipboard?!???

TOO many ads for their news services. Great reporting but waaayy too many ads for their news feeds and a lot of buffering

Not a good update. You say you made the latest version easier to navigate. Well on the homepage you could look at a story and click the back arrow when you were done. Why did you remove it?!!! Now I have to hit home and go all the way back to the beginning. Stupid.

Great Review!. I enjoy your news, it is accurate and very informative. I review it every night & morning. Thank you, Happy Viewership

Good. Good app for news and weather on the go

Crashing. I love channel 11 news but this app freezes every time I use it and I have to reopen it only to freeze again. Hopefully you get this fixed!

Biased. I wish you would just tell the facts and let others form an opinion than you trying to push the Democrat narrative.

Video pop ups with volume. I like opening an app where I control if I want to watch a video. I have had this app for years and it was so much better than the competition because I was in control. To now have your videos popping up with loud volume and no way to stop it from popping open. Goodbye WPXI. I am done.

New web site. For some reason the app now has a dark background which means at the end is the stories I can no longer take the poll question! Doesn’t show up it’s hidden because of the background

STALE STORIES!. PITTSBUGH GETS REAL - really is stale! Stories have been there for months - yes, months! Updates stories appear with the older versions of the updates story. Clean it up. Why do the same story appear more than once? Pay attention to the details!

Decent app - biased news. The app was great in terms of quality and flow (aside from the ‘back button’). Unfortunately the developers decided to work with a well-disguised biased news outlet. Unfortunately I have to delete the app and discontinue trust in channel 11. What a shame.

Videos/Audio Automatically Start. Videos/Audio automatically start. Can no longer start looking at the news when I am supposed to be paying attention to something or someone else. Quite embarrassing.

No many notifications. I set to only get alerts for beaver and butler county however keeps getting notifications for everything so the settings in the app don’t work

Not compatible with ios14?. Must not be compatible with apples new iPhone update. Won’t open now.....

Where’s the news?. 75% repetitive advertisements and very little news. Needs major overhaul.

Video and pictures. Video freezes at times and wrong pictures with the wrong story at the main page. Plus too many commercials!

Breaking News?. I allowed breaking news notifications, However I get notifications about thins like.. “Free Avocados, take part in weight loss study” Sorry this is NOT breaking news.. they always send notifications 5 minutes before their newscast starts, and it’s usually not breaking news.. just self promotion garbage

Stories. It’s good. To the point information on stories. A bit behind on breaking news. Just very sad of all the crime in the Pittsburgh area.

Too much BLM. There are other things going on , please quit jamming BLM down our throats. Tell the real stories not the Democrats BS. Be in the truth business, there used to be two sides to a story.

Newsy. Weather is better on WTAE app. WPXI has full news stories (WTAE does not), written with better detail. Some remain on for over a month and are outdated though

Bring Back FULL Screen Viewing!. I used to to be able to stream news in full screen view on my iPad... now the news comes up in a small pop up window that only stays open in the app... no background streaming either. Why?

App has been horrible. When I click on the alerts to go to The article it doesn’t take me to it. Also starts playing videos and impossible to pause them. I have to turn off the volume

Keeps me informed. The alerts are great and gives me a choice of reviewing or not. We are blessed with good reporting in the “Burgh”.

Freezing. Once in awhile when the weather is stormy the site will freeze up

Ads. It’s ok but so many ads make it barely usable. If you’re going to have all these ads, it would be nice if the UI was laid out a bit better.

Old News. Articles are not updated or replaced for days, weekends, and some for months.

Channel 11 web site. I find the site awkward to use. Does not stay on subject.

App crashes. This app used to worked no matter where I was. Now it freezes up every time I use it. I will no longer use it.

Adds make this one if the the worst apps. The commercials on the app make it impossible to read the articles. Articles that are sent as notification alerts are very difficult to find on the app site. One of the worst apps I have on my phone.

Deleted. Had this app for a couple yrs, but deleted because it kept freezing on me.

New update terrible. Garage new layout garbage I click on a notification and it doesn’t even take me to it and half the screen is taken up by nothing go back to the old layout thanks

Political. This app has polling questions at the end of each article. Every question that is political, I am all of a sudden blocked. Could it be because I am a republican and they don’t like my answers?

Frustrated. You get a message regarding a story. Then you tap on it. You get lots of stories but can’t find the one you wanted to see. I’ve come close to deleting the app.

Little slow on updates. Could be better at updates and organization of information.

Sad. I wish WPXI was a far news network I watched nbc my whole life. I am a democrat but I’m voting for Donald Trump . NBC anchors do not give both sides a fair shake you are more for Joe Biden and everyone can see it . So sad and I hope everyone stops watching your news.

Unimpressed. Some stories get way to much credit and media coverage which is very annoying

It’s happening now. They are reporting right on the spot. Gives me updates as soon as anything happens news or weather! Great job!!👍

Meh. I just got this a few days ago and I’m not overly impressed. Local news is okay but national and world news is almost nonexistent and what there is, is often days outdated. And political news is nowhere to be found.

Thanks. Thanks for fixing the back button so quickly.

Honest rating. To biased organization . To far left . Take notes how Fox Network delivers news content . I just log onto wpxi for weather and even for that can’t seem to get right .

Horrible. More often than not the news is not current. A news app should have the latest up to date news at a glance. This app is always old news.

Push updates are not updates.. I’ll get a notification that a story has been updated, but it’s always the same out dated story. Nothing new was added. Very annoying to the point I don’t bother even looking.

Pathetically biased. The Joe Biden corruption story is breaking news tonight. WPXI is mum, zero coverage of the lifelong Democrat navy admiral coming forward as witness to support the lengthy laptop evidence. WPXI doesn’t want the biggest corruption story since the clintons to hurt their boy Joe. Update: three weeks later... deleted app. WPXI is an agenda driven “news organization”.

Crashes all the time. Crashes every time i open app and read an article. Happens all the time. Please fix asap or I’m going to a different local news app. Update getting rid of your app. Crashes ALL THE TIME
