WIS NEWS 10 App Reviews

School Bus decontamination. Are SC School bus interiors being disinfected while school is out? I would find this to be an important issue!

Too many of the same notifications. The app itself is fine but too many notifications are sent regarding the same story. It’s too much. I will literally have 12 notifications on the same thing. It’s not updated info, it’s no longer breaking news. I’d like to be able to control the number of notifications a day.

Trump. This is only local news I get which I read on phone. Mostly good However the ap article about ‘Trump winning Michigan…’ was very very biased against him. Nothing positive, very negative.

Article disappeared. For about the last week or so every time I start reading an article the text just disappears. There’s nothing on my screen but the WIS logo at the top and an ad at the bottom! Please explain!

Need for my location baffling. All Gray stations: each affiliate’s app continually annoys me with messages that my location isn’t current as Gray attempts to mine location data from MY phone. These incessant reminders try my patience and are driving me to leave Gray!!!

Notification settings not accurate. I have the notification settings in this app set to just give Breaking News yet I continue to get prompts to watch the news broadcast. Today I got “Watch Live - WIS shares some of the top stories around the state over the weekend”. I’m not sure how that qualifies as Breaking News. I want to know when something is important and not just get advertisements to watch the broadcast or attempts at clickbait. Please follow the notification settings selected.

Horrible after update. Once the app was updated a few weeks ago it has become one of the worst functioning apps that I have. It is constantly glitching and doesn’t load. It is also extremely frustrating to navigate.

Not happy with updated version. Once the update was done...it takes SO long to get this app to open. I thought it was just my phone but it’s the only app I’m having problems with. Not happy with the updated version.

Sick of the fake breaking news. I’m so sick of the breaking news that doesn’t matter, like Day 1, 2, and 3 of what’s at the state fair! Your station is making everyone not wanting to watch or have your app. You already have nothing but news on all day, so stop with the alerts all day.

A reader. Woefully slow on updates and being current. Why show old stories 2-3 days old as "news". Call it "olds".

Reporting errors. There is a link to report errors on the article and it does nothing. I tried several different stories and the link does not work.

Good app gone bad. WIS news app used be great and I could get everything I wanted from this app. However, when you now require Location Services to be on to work, that’s an invasion of privacy. If they change that requirement, I will use it. Otherwise, this is a quick uninstall for me.

WIS News App. I don’t particularly like the new app. Another thing is the app is not updated often enough. You have stories on the app are days and days old, some are weeks old. New stories should be added immediately.

WISTV10 NEWS APP. I wish you all,would show more news on the app. It loads more than anything, and when it does come back on. You’ve miss half of the segment.

Better service. I don’t like the updated app. The same news is on the app for several days. Also the sports isn’t updated in a timely fashion. Ie: When Carolina’s baseball team was playing their first game with Virginia you were unable to get the score until the next day . Also the live news is always coming from another state. Please get back to the Wis I’m always been happy to call my station.

Pop Up Pain. It is extremely annoying to have a giant pop up ad blocking the screen for several seconds at the beginning before any other content can be seen. That certainly causes me to think negatively of the company who purchased the add. Other TV stations whose apps I have allow immediate access to news stories but do have ad links further down the page that can be viewed or easily scrolled past. I realize you have to monetize the app so that it does remain free but there are better ways to do that.

Fix it!. This app hasn’t worked in 2 day! I get notifications but when I go to app to open up the story, it opens to a white screen and never opens the story

Update. Ever since update 3 days, the app doesn’t work!

Best Channel. I have been watching WISTV channel 10 for years, and I truly have enjoyed the people to include Mary King. I wave to her every time I see her. Keep up the good work!

Bring back the old format. I love WIS but this new app makes me want to get another channels app because all the stories headlines that you click have a white background which makes it difficult to differentiate stories... pleaseeeeee change it, it’s unreadable!! Thanks! :)

Advertisement. The only issue that I have with this app is pop-up advertisement when I first open it from, Stanley Law.

Lots of NON-local news. Besides being OBSESSED with the weather - ALL THE TIME - more piddly news from outside the state of South Carolina. A lot of the stories are also written WITHOUT any proofreading by a responsible adult. I have a college degree from “Old School” days when typewriters were the norm; I can proofread a lot better than whomever is NOT doing it for WIS. Newsworthy items are also being missed or purposely overlooked - like Clemson’s BIG WIN over Notre Dame, 30-27.

Latest update. I previously only used WIS 10 app for my news because I disliked the format for other local stations. Since this update, I’ve deleted the app and have no plans to get it again while it’s in the current state. The data that it requires is tremendous and I’m guessing it’s due to all the videos. If I wanted to watch news, I’d do it on a TV. I prefer to read the news and only watch specific stories. Plus, due to the size requirements, I had to delete other apps that I used. I’m. It trying to be rude, but whomever created and approved the new look must not be a user of the app because if they are, they would see how horrible it’s become.

Yay! More ads!. - Said no one. Ever. I’m ok with the banners and such. Gotta pay the bills, right? But the ads in the new update are BIG and in the middle of the newsfeed like they’re going to have a headline. Not ok.

iPad screen rotation has a bug. The app is not formatted correctly for the iPad, the video does not play in landscape/widescreen as expected

Terrible updated app for iPad. The updated app requires opening several pages before the news can be accessed. First page is an ad, second page gives a choice between WIS and another app, third page select WIS app, four page select news. Just terrible, the old app was perfect

One of the worst apps. Finally deleted the app since news isn’t updated except for every 3 days or so. I’m beginning to believe that journalism is dead. Very poorly written, grammatical structure is often wrong and obviously no editing takes place. I have now learned that my expectations are too high with journalist and politicians. We shouldn’t expect much since most of the people in these positions, especially the politicians, were educated in a state that ranks 48th, in a good year, in education.

Latest update is bad. Lately there have been too many ads you can’t remove and it’s repetitive. Same news rarely updated. Not interested in watching live tv. If I did I would watch on tv. Deleted the app.

Terrible news source. WIS is the worst news App I’ve ever seen. It consistently is behind on new news stories and keeps old news on the App for days. It’s a complete waste of time to get any valuable information in a timely manner.

Ads and pop ups. New version of this app is a nightmare. Freezes when opens, hard to navigate, and is full of annoying pop ups and ads.

The new method in which the news is INITIALLY shown is NOT user friendly. The former FIRST page listing the brief description of a news item was much more enjoyable. CHANGING the “presentation “ simply to “ have a new look” is not always a good thing. You need to remember that your largest readership are individuals over the age of 50. Obviously the people who made this change are the under 30 crowd. NOTE : the under 30 crowd must pay much better attention to the age of majority of your readership.

Font too small. Please give us options to customize our viewing

Democrat. I’ve been watching this news channel for over 55 years but the last 5 years you have been a pathetic DEMOCRAT PARTY. All I see is support black negro people or all democrat people. This news channel has been dishonest and biased for the Republican establishment and for the white minority. SHAME ON YOU. WIS- 10 is pathetic.

Improvements for the worse. The old version of the app was more usable and easily navigated. This new version fails to spark interest in the news articles. How could you possibly make the news any more boring? This new app update...that’s how

Where is the Wisconsin news?. I got this app hoping to be caught up on this sickness going around in Wisconsin since I dont have Facebook. I see more info about every other state than I do about Wisconsin, to be honest I don’t even know if I saw an article that had anything to do with Wisconsin. This is a United States news app, not a Wisconsin news app.

Terrible Ap WiSNews. Bogged down in forced ads. Often no sound with videos. Gives the appearance of fake news. Totally ridiculous amounts of time to wait for “real news”. WIS went below par after losing solid journalism and Joe Pinner, Ted handy, and 1990’s tv personalities.

Notification Sound. I no longer get the News 10 door bell sound notification when I get notifications. This has happened since the changes to the app

Great and informative news .. WIS provides very up to the minute and informative news . All hours of the day , everyday . Especially breaking news stories on current events be it local , national or international news . I truly appreciate being kept well informed .

Updates keep getting worse. Landscape view not available on ipad. Don’t your programmers test their updates. Each update is worse than last. Fortunately there is another local news app that has a great app.

Too Many Ads. Every time I try to look at a news video I have to wait for one or two commercials to complete. There is not a way to option out of the ads. This is very annoying and I’m planning to delete your app.

News flashes. You used to show the item that prompted the notice to show when we looked at the screen. Now you have nothing but an ad and numerous stories, none of which are marked or identified as the news flash prompting the alert! This app in its current format is trash. J Walker Hough

Can’t get through advertisements!. Can’t get to news without going through several ads. Dropping your app.

What a waste. This was a practical and helpful app. Then it was “updated “ to a hot garbage app! Glad there are other TV news apps that work well. Shame on the former market leader WIS for not correcting this over the last 6 weeks

Worst app ever. I hate this app. It is broken down into all of these different sections and when I read the community section, the articles have hardly any information on the article topic. I will not use this. I can use my ABC and WLTX for local news.

Loving all of news crew. On top of current happenings as it occurs first to report on latest events. Real time up to date reporting. On point with the upcoming weather so my family can know how to prepare to dress. I love news when it happens alerts I review news alerts on my app. True and dependable news that is news breaking events keeping me informed. WIS is part of my daily routine

Biased News Reporting. The news reported by WIS and any other network needs to be unbiased. It clearly is not. In case you are unaware, not all viewers are Democrats. Enough of the Trump bashing and innuendos. The US President should be given some respect. I certainly did not agree with Obama’s policies and agendas but he was still President and deserved proper respect. BYW...this has absolutely nothing to do with race, so do not think for a moment this is some racist rant.

Covid vacc. Thank you for the latest information

Difficult to read. Font too small! When you expand the view, you cannot read the entire text. A dark background would make it easier to read.

Terrible. Go back to the old app!!!! I’m deleting this app after I write this review. The app is very hard to use has very limited news and is often not current!!!! Very disappointed!!!

Issues. The app used to function great. But as of recently, the quality of the app has degraded. Halfway through reading an article the article goes full white as if it is trying to load an ad. I’m unable to rewind videos resulting in having to restart the video all together to rehear anything. The in ad apps have also gotten progressively worse making you watch a video before even being able to access the articles on occasion. In its current state, I recommend people to use the WIS website over the app as the app is to unreliable and frustrating to use.

Videos. Too many commercial videos that you can’t skip immediately. As soon as one comes up I exit your website.

Grrrrr. Ever since I updated the app it will not open!

Annoying advertisements. Ads are frustrating. Too many and long.

Near useless app. During live news app simply plays one commercial after another. Don’t waste viewers time.

App problems. I recently installed iOS 13.4 on my iPhone Xr and the app goes into video play mode. No video plays and the screen stays black. Can’t even use the app now

Slow. Slow on certain”breaking news”. Not even sure Roy Clark showed up on your news alert. I grew up with WIS10 wltx even wolo , wolo of all of y’all is getting better as WIS10 seems to me to be slipping

Liked the old version much better. I absolutely hate the new app!

Wis. Stopped watching because of the ad structure

News not a talk SHOW!. Should have more local news. Un professional . Can do better.

Worst ever. Worst app wis has ever had

Ads are getting ridiculous. I've had this app for over a year and a half now. From the start it was great, very informative, and extremely useful. In the past couple months is become riddled with ads. Every time you open up an article on that pops up. Even wants the article pops up there's an ad in the middle of the article. Is to the point where it's almost chore to read an article for all the ads. They really need to do something about that. Aside from that, this is a great app and very useful, I would give it five stars were not for the aggravating ads.

Useless after update. I updated the app on my iPad. Now it won’t open.

Horrible. All the news is out of date and it will turn off any back ground Music you are running on your phone

Review. Too small for diabetics to read. Not user friendly. Looks boring.

Commercials. Too many!! Wis has become a commercial app.

Crashing issues. With the new update I can not open the app. It keeps crashing on me.

Don’t like the upgrade. I can’t stand the upgrade. The old app I could swipe from article to article, but not with the new app. I will be checking WLTX and WOLO for ease of use.

Not improved. Do not like the new update. I prefer the “old style”.

Buggy. New app won’t even open.

Rating. 19 breaks stories sooner

WIS10. New update does not load in a timely manner. Most times I have to hit retry so I look for news elsewhere.

Upgrade wont open. The recent upgrade will not open on any device that I own

Click bait. Not enough real news. Misleading headlines. Way too much click bait.

Bad. Seldom update any articles especially on weekends. Late on reporting news.

Will not open. Just downloaded latest update and it will not open. Get kicked out each time I tried to open it!!!

Awful. Constant Laweyer and car commercials very annoying and bad don’t plan to watch any more.

Why change. Too confusing. The old one was much better.

Collision. It likes a lot in identification and detail. Mr B A.

App won’t even open. Latest update causes the app to crash before it even opens.

Silly attempt. Bias reporting and racist anchors is evident. Then you have to watch a commercial before each story.

Go back to the previous app. Absolutely hate this app. I used to love your app until you changed it.

Old format. The original format was a lot more user friendly than “the new” current in. Sometimes things are better left alone. David Perry, long time user.

Won’t Open. Downloaded app and now won’t open at all!!

Click bait Nonsense. Agree with the last review. The vast majority of the notifications are click bait crap. It gets tiring fast. Even some notifications that are important are still click bait. Also there's a technical issue with the app. It seems like it always fails to take me to the right story when I click on a notification, usually saying some variation of "Can't find the page you are looking for." Had to finally delete it. It hasn't been useful since the flooding.

Old version better. Old version was better. Cut out the big USC-Clemson pictures in the middle of the listings. They don’t do anything.

Won’t open after updating. Crashes since update. Will delete since it’s taking up space

Needs an update. Keeps crashing and glitching before I can get it to open.

App is becoming tabloid news. This app is becoming a tabloid newspaper. The quality has plummeted from the version I first downloaded. The alerts have become ridiculous and are no longer breaking news. I do not need a news alert about the latest baby names or that a coyote is running through an airport in another city. Also the constant Watch Live alerts are unwelcome. I have limited my settings and still receive the nonsense. The ads are constantly popping up and there are so many links for trash news articles at the bottom of a news article that I chose to read. Someone new has must be running the show on this app, but they are really running it in the ground! My sentiments also reflect comments made by coworkers and friends.

Failure. Ask to update newest version on iPhone and now it will not open.

WIS. I love waking up in the morning with WIS! The whole team is awesome! Love you guys!

New design. I liked the old version better. It was easier to navigate.

The New Version is Terrible. What was wrong with the app opening to the top stories first?

Uninstalled. I’ve used this app for years and finally decided to uninstall. The app used to be centrally focused on local news stories. It seems like most of them are now AP-linked national stories, or stories local to other communities. (???) Stories relevant to this community—even breaking news!—are often buried under older or irrelevant stories. I can get national news anywhere, and I don’t have use for another app, especially one that takes up this much storage and data. I have to assume the data, at least, is eaten up by the autoplaying video ads frequently at the top of the home screen. They’re muted on default, thankfully, but the video still plays, and that eats up data when you’re trying to check news when not on WiFi. This app used to be so much better. It’s passed the point of uselessness to an annoyance and a drain of storage, data, and battery. This channel has done and can do better.

Pop ups make it useless and annoying. See title

Love it!. I love this app! I live in Lexington and work in Columbia, so it give me up to date information on both cities! I read all the news stories every morning and enjoy the news updates through out the day on current late breaking news!!

Almost worthless. Poor reporting, Fifth grade writing. Repetition. Meandering headlines. If I see something about which I need details I go to other news apps for “THE REST OF THE STORY “. Deleting.

Stanley ad. It is SO annoying to get the Stanley Law Group ad every time I open the WIS app.

Comments. I can’t comment on any of their posts or take any surveys they request

Rate. Waaayy too many ads on site!!

The absolute worst app launch in history. Nothing works.. Wis continues to decline rapidly. The app is basically useless for now. In the quest for rapid growth, quality is sacrificed.
