14 NEWS WFIE App Reviews

Download this app if you like watching advertisements.... Can’t watch a video without a 15-30 second ad...I understand that’s their bread and butter, but for crying out loud, 1 ad every video? Why not 1 every 5-10 videos? Worse than trying to watch TV these days. A lot of the videos are shorter than the ads!

THIS SAVED MY LIFE IN A TORNADO GET THIS. This is amazing it helps me track down strorms like a hurricane it helped me TWICE during a tornado AND a hurricane I known it’s crazy but it is get this app if you wanna live or survive okay now do not trust the people who make bad comments on this ITS GOOD SO GET IT NOW

News and sports channel. Really all they have as news and sports!

Allow ad tracking??. A previous update had asked to “personalized” tracking for the user. I didn’t want that so I replied NO. This lasted version wants the user to continue with “personalized” tracking and states that the user can change their settings later. There are a lot of other options for local news. This app was a great one for local news, not at this moment. Fix your app.

Sounds blast out. Time was news on app was perfect. Now when you want to read or hear someone talk forget it. Sound is so loud and it blasts and no way to turn it down or off unless you just get off the app. Don’t know why they could not leave something that works alone

Way too many alerts. This app sends way too many alerts despite opting for only specific alerts. I only want to know about severe weather/take shelter type warnings. Despite selecting what type of notifications I want to receive, it still notifies me about so many other things that are not of interest to me. I deleted the app for this reason.

Only works occasionally. This app is extremely unreliable. It stops working for weeks on end for no apparent reason. When this happens, it will not load past the 14 news logo page (although the pop-up ad still works without fail). I have tried closing, deleting and redownloading the app, as well as restarting my phone. Nothing brings it back until it magically works again one day. I hate the 44 news app, but that’s what I have to use because I cannot depend on yours.

Alerts. Most of the time when I get an alert on my phone or iPad and attempt to read it....it isn’t there. I have to scroll through all the news, and most times, I still can’t find it. The site isn’t user friendly at all.

All ads - awful. This could be such a great news app but all it does is force ads on you. Everyday, as soon as you open the app, you are hit with an ad. I understand it helps pay for this but it is excessive. I love Jeff Lyons, but I bet he also hates this app.

What happened to this app?. This was my go to app for local news and this most recent update is making me consider deleting the app completely. The news notifications do not open the story from the notification. It usually drops me in the app and the story doesn’t come up and then I can’t find it again. Just today two times I tapped the notification to read and watch a story. It opened the story, played an ad and then sent me back to the Home Screen of the app where I could no longer find the story. It also seems like the app is filled with a lot more ads than before. I can tolerate ads (especially with a free service) when the app is functioning well. Looking forward to an update in the future to make this more stable or I will have to stop using it.

Review. Liked it better before the update. Ads continue to pop up as I scroll. It’s hard to determine what is sponsored content and what is real news, the font is the same. I use this app less and less as the week progresses. Seems like the same story is on here for several days with no updated content.

Ads. I would rate the site a zero if that option was available. And that rating is deserved primarily because the Ads are awful, offensively loud.

Just no. I was met with an ad as soon as I opened the app, BEFORE I even got to anything relating to the app itself, then as soon as I closed the ad it asked for my location to which I said no, apparently that’s required to use the app? Nope, I can get my news elsewhere if that’s the case!

Fix the news alerts. I like the app but news and weather alerts frequently link to a completely unrelated story. If you are going to a send a alert test the link first. I use other apps that don’t have this issue.

14 news app. I used to somewhat like the 14 news app even though it was difficult to use but now I hate it. It is so difficult to use now and the crazy add that automatic pops up every. Time. You open the app is so annoying!

New Format. I don’t like the new web page format. The articles are too big. Each article fills up my screen on my iPad. Before you could see several articles at a time and easily scroll down to the one you wanted to read. Still a great news source.

Crashing. The last two updates in a row have caused this app to crash before opening making it useless. Try testing your updates, testing them better, or hiring better techs to fix or update your app in the future. This and all the commercials are making me just want to give up the app and just use the website instead.

The New App Needs More Work. While the new app consolidates the news, weather, River City Weekend, it’s missing important weather information & makes finding things cumbersome. We are under a heat advisory but the new app doesn’t address this information. I still have the old app and use it more often.

New update is 👎. This newest update seems to be copying the other local news app, Eyewitness News 25. The reason I used 14News was because I liked their platform over Eyewitness 25. The way this new update repeats the same story published above it is frustrating and makes me just close the app and go somewhere else for news. I’ve noticed I spend way less time on this app now. Now that I think about it, maybe that’s a good thing...

Notification links don’t work properly. It’s awful! Clicking on a news notification takes me to a video that has nothing to do with the story notification. The app is riddled with too much junk & ads. Just the news please! Maybe take a look at the AP app or even Apple News outlines to better construct this app.

Update horrible!. The newest update on the app is not good. When you open a news story the video player automatically starts playing and it’s not the story you want. So far no story and video have matched. It’s very frustrating. Most of the time silencing the video isn’t an option.

New version won’t work if location services is off. I hardly ever had an issue with this App until this new update. Now, it won’t load at at all!!! Keeps asking me to turn on my location services, but when I cancel the request, it just spins. Absolutely terrible!!! Update, still does not work!!! Just spins.

Streaming news. Leading station in Evansville. All their News and sports programs are available for free streaming live and archive. The other station in market does not stream their news.

New app. I liked the previous app much better! This app has small font making it hard to read on my Apple 7, changing the font to large in settings didn’t seem to make a difference and I don’t use this app nearly as much as previously.

Good app but headaches. I love the app but the weather part is screwy. It’s 7:40 on 12/18 but I am seeing the weather from 12/16 thru 3am today. Also it doesn’t always have the right city. It jumps between Evansville, Owensboro, and Paduka with the occasional Henderson

Bring back the old app, this terrible. It crashes constantly and navigation is horrible. Oh my god! This is my second post on how horrible this app is and you guys still haven't fixed a thing. The old was so much better and I have no idea why I waste my time.

To many pop ups. This app has so many pop ups that when you open junk immediately. Who ever thought this was good to throw up junk needs to be fired

Go to a updated version. I have totally deleted the app. Keeps showing many news alerts but cannot get to them. Try to read the news it stops for an add then sends me back. Not good. Will use again if improvement are made. Tried on several iPhones does same thing. Friends have deleted or stopped using the app.

Horrible update.. I’ve only used WFIE as my only local news app for several years. After the latest version I’m going to another station’s app. This version is terrible. I open the app and then choose news. Up pops an ad. I close it and it puts me back to the main menu. Now I have to click news again. I’m on the latest IOS version with an IPhone 12 plus. Did anyone test this thing??? Why can’t it be like before. Just go straight to the news stories as the main page? Channel 14, you messed this one up. It’s been a good run but now it’s goodbye.

Honest review by a long time forced user.. The gray broadcasting company is perfectly named if you enjoy watching a grayed out screen with silence this is the app for you! There doesn’t seem to be any concerted effort to sell airtime to local businesses. You will occasionally be forced to view gambling based apps for slots and games that require you to spend money to play. There are a few P essays lately for Covid stating that Christian Covid patients believe God has created a cure and have gotten vaccinated yay! You will receive short and I mean really short snippets of news and teasers of weather when you watch the live option. It says if they decided how little can we supply before people just stop using this app altogether. When you are able to watch actual news it’s supplied by very young personalities who do not have an adult’s range of vocabulary, pronunciation or the context to use the chosen words properly. Even my seven year old granddaughter can spot their mistakes. In all fairness I will have to say some of them seem more comfortable on air now they no longer resemble a constipated cat sitting in the litter box while trying to project a serious demeanor.

Updated App. Not happy with the updated app. Hard to see what’s new and every few hours I have 20-40 new notifications. I have adjusted the notification settings and no change. Also the screen refreshes or something when trying to read an article and I have to start from the beginning. There are wayyy to many ads. I love 14 news but not at all happy with the updated app

Current Status. The revised app only accomplishes one thing, additional revenue. Could you make it anymore user unfriendly? 14 News USED to be the local leader, but this is what happens when quicker profits champion excellence. I am certain the former and quite possibly some of the current personnel are disappointed at the direction of not ashamed. 14 is no longer any better than the rest. How long before you are in the same position as 44?

Terrible. First you have to wait for an ad to load before you can move to the news, 2nd the app icon shows you have notifications but once you wait for the ad to load then review all notifications you then get out of the app and it still shows you have notifications. Will be deleting this app soon

Give me back the older version. This does not give Evansville news or at least difficult to find. I am sorry I updated.

There are better apps for weather. After you wait a minute for the video to load then watch a 30 second commercial you are treated to a vague 20 second teaser for the weather. I think this app is geared towards selling local advertising and getting people to click back often to get their “view” numbers up. You are constantly provided with uneventful notifications a few times a day that try to tease you into checking the app, again an attempt to get you to in and provide them with the traffic to better sell advertising. There are much better weather apps out there that are faster and less bulky. When I get a clickbait notification from wife the first thing I do is check a real weather app like intellicast to see what’s really up.

New version is horrible. This last major overhaul is awful. Can’t turn sound off on alerts, so had to turn alerts off all together (which alerts about local news was probably the best feature before). And now almost all the new is videos; I want to read news, not watch videos.

Radar. Get rid of this color radar. Can’t tell a thing on it. Just went through a heavy storm and the radar did not show it. Go back to the previous radar system where you can tell exactly what’s going on. I hate this new color radar. Does no good to watch it if you get no color warnings on it. I hate it!

Terrible app. Please bring the old app back. This be app is absolutely awful. I can no longer rotate the app to make it larger and easier to read. Not everyone has a phone the size of a iPad. Full of more advertisements than ever making it difficult to even get to the news. Stories repeated multiple times in the feed. USELESS!!!

Annoying videos. The app used to be great. Not any more. As soon as you tap it, the video starts playing. Or rather, an ad starts playing. Even after turning it off, it continues to play, by way of a pop-up.

14 News. Our family watch 14 as our primary news and weather channel which is second to none! You guys are wonderful! As for the News “app”, since the format changed to the larger bolder print, etc. in the last few months it has definitely lost the appeal and we seldom look at it anymore. The earlier format that was used perhaps a year or so ago and going back was great to easily scan the topics and read those of interest. Thank you for asking!

New 14 News app. Great edition of this app. I’m so glad that there is finally a good streaming feature, such that I can just click on it and see the newscasts for the day. I can’t always arrange to see the news when it airs on TV. This is a GREAT feature.

Local News. Keeps me up to date on local news and national news.

App works. This app has always been suburb. The developer is always updating the App. As far as apps go this is the best one in the tri-state and very dependable.

Review. I love Ch 14 news! Have only one complaint I wish you would consider. Please start airing Gov. Andy’s press conference in full. I know it falls at the time when local news is on - but! Now that most of us are home constantly do we really need to hear the weather three or more times during that time period, especially when it’s a beautiful day?? While we were working we appreciate having several segments of news to watch at the various times around 4 or 5 p.m., but now it’s just redundant, and we’re all anxious to see reports from him in full. We can’t always get the local KET station, so we miss out on it. Just a real thought from a loyal fan, Thanks a lot! Ivana Carmon

Seemingly an Unfortunate Money Grab. With the new app update Gray’s boardroom has decided they will force you to watch an ad by locking your screen and not allowing you to scroll past. They don’t get to make that choice on my device. Neither 44 nor 25 are so greedy. I for one will not allow this. I have bailed on 14 News.

Bad update. The new update is not as user friendly as the old way the app worked and every time you open a story to read a ad has to play now. Long time supporter of the news station but I now hate the app and will not use it any longer.

Very informative. I’m a disabled veteran and don’t drive anymore. I don’t like things such as Face Book or Twitter. Between your app and the radio, I feel like I’m in the loop again. TY

Ads. I want to look at the radar, news, or weather information, NOT constant pop-up ads. I understand that that is how revenue is generated for providing a free app, but when the entire screen gets covered up by an advertisement, it gets annoying and dismissed immediately without my even looking to see what the ad is for (usually vehicles). I think the annoying banners at the bottom are enough.

What happened !?. Please tell me you have a team working on improving this app. The most recent version is really bad. Slow to load or fails to load. Have to search for headline news as that’s now not the landing page. Regardless of where you navigate, first stop is always a full page ad. The black border around the tile is ugly. Previous versions of the app were EAY better. Take us back to your previous app if you can’t get the current version any better.

Too many ads. Jeez, every time I click on a video those stupid car ads pop up, over and over again. The worst part is that they’re screaming loud. I hate that about your app, as do many people!!! It’s old stories, updated every 8-10 or more hours. I use your app because it the only one available but it’s terrible ....

Update made app worse. Worked well before last update. Now data doesn’t load and it’s very slow :(

Please change your app. I don’t like this new version. I have to scroll past a lot of adds to find any stories. Please find a better format. I can’t find local news separately either.

News coverage. You hardly cover any topics! Why is there nothing about the flooding going on in Tennessee ?

Please improve. I throughly enjoyed the previous version of this app. After the new app was launched, it hasn’t even been able to launch (keeps spinning). Is there an update coming soon to resolve?

You. Buhukxuxjhuuibj soy Iijk mawŵnichyyorning coffee and I was thinking you would thinking yum I still Me

14 news. Decent app through the week! Usually closed or half dead on weekends!

14 News. Keep up the good work!

Update to 14 news. Clicked on update app, after update attempted to open app to read the news and it immediately closes so apparently I will no longer be able to use this app.

HORRIBLE. The app is difficult to navigate and is more focused on generating advertising revenue than delivering news and current events. I’m finding that I’m using It less and less all the time.

New 14 App. Dislike the new updated app! News not easily accessible with tons of pop ups. Preferred the previous app before the update. Hope you work the bugs out!

It doesn’t work. None of the articles will open and the layout is total crap.

After update just crashes. Please fix now just crashes when you open app

You removed the closings and delays tab. Using the 14 News mobile app, under the sections tab, the closing and delays portion in order to check if school has been canceled has been removed from the app.

Poor. Search function doesn’t work.

Way too many ads. Not worth watching a 30 second commercial for a 10 second video. You can’t even navigate the app due to all the ads and pop ups. 14 ruined a great app

New app. Hate it doesn’t work all the time. Bring back the old one

New 14News App. The new app has way too many ads and pointless clickbait. I don’t like how the auto play for the ads shuts off music playback while I’m browsing. All of this is to drive up ad revenue at the expense of the user experience.

MASS Shooting in Henderson. According to the FBI a shooting isn’t classified as a “Mass Shooting” unless there are 4 dead not including the shooter. This is a prime example the News Media trying to sensationalize the event by misreporting and just plain juicing up the story. That’s called Biased reporting. Fake News!

Ads. Why do I have to click through 5 ads or videos just to get to a news story? Absolutely unnecessary. Get rid of your ads. You’re a news source.

No commercials!. I don’t go to your app for news stories anymore because I refuse to Wade through all the commercials to get to them. I have to put up with those on TV, I’m not doing it on my phone!

Can’t open since last update. The app doesn’t open since last update. It just spins and spins and spins.

Strange news. I miss the strange news section. I think the page looks awkward. I liked the old format better. I thought it a cleaner look.

Late. Your news is at best late and not well done Very local amateur

Ads. Too many ads.

Failed to open. Will not open after latest update

Complete. Well informed news resource!

Terrible. Worst App on my phone!! I do not want to watch a video every time you send a news headline! Weather app is awful also. I would rather use a local weather app but I use The Weather Channel app.

Poor app. The old app was much better. The layout was cleaner and much easier to navigate. Hire a proof reader!

New update. I hate the new update. News articles are mostly videos and it is clunky. Home page is dumb and I only used this app for reading the news so now it’s worthless.

New Alert sound. Not a fan of the new alert sound.

Stinks. Very poor reporting. Always posting half the story. Very liberal reporting! I wish some other station was available for local news.

Don’t like the update. I don’t like update, liked it better when I could search my own local news not have to look at everyone else’s

New app. Old app so much easier to use. New app is glitchy and hard to navigate through

No longer works on my iPhone. The app no longer works on my iPhone as of this week! When I open the app it just closes back up.

Stop the ads. The old app was much better. The ads are going to cause me to delete this one

New app. Very difficult to get the news from your new app. Thinking about changing news provider

Ads. I understand Ads are a great source of revenue. But, please, can we not have a 30 second Ad every time I want to play a 15 second video?

Loyal watcher. Please go back to old format. It was easier to look at news stories. Also gas buddy had a list of gas prices but your new format doesn’t which makes it more time consuming to get prices. Thanks.

Too many videos. I want to read the news on an app not watch it. Also way too much pop news and celebrity garbage.

GIVE THE OLD WFIE BACK. This new app takes forever to load compared to the old, and is all advertisementsTTDidn't work! Had to delete it. Old app worked great! What happened? Negative 5 stars

Too Liberal. It is easy to see wfie and nbc have a liberal leaning agenda. The only reason to view their content is for local news and I don’t even trust them for accuracy then.

Love it!. It’s great being informed early. Keep up the good work.

New update. I use this app regularly and like it. But last night I did the update and now it will not let me in. When I open the app it kicks me out.

Force closes. The most recent update won’t allow me to open the app anymore. The load screen pops up and then force closes.

What happened to sunrise live on my Phone after update. What happened to sunrise live on our cell phones. Not happy this morning with it not being there after the update 🤬 and what is with the nickname thing 😐

Update causes app to close. When I updated the app and then tried to open it I wasn’t able to. The app closes before it is completely open. There is no way to access the app now

Horrible update. The recent update has made this app unusable. Very slow to load and nothing about notifications work properly.

Repeating news. Thought it was about current events not repeating same old stories for a week. Try putting something about surrounding counties in stead of just Kentucky an vanderburg countie

New update. The new update is no good needs to be put back the way it was or something completely different then it is now !

Bad. Can’t get 14 news any more . Had it before and liked it . Upgraded it ,can’t bring it up now. still have sports and weather. They work ok won’t up grade them. Can’t put zero in your stars
