WBIR? YEAH OR NEH?. Fantastic app, use it to catch my weekly weather updates.. and also check on current events that could be happening or is happening in the area, love, my WBIR team. Always love checking in every day to see what’s going on in my neck of the woods here in a beautiful place called the Smoky Mountains. My wonderful home. Keep it up. Great work!!

Just the best. I’ve watched WBIR-TV for 30 years and find myself quoting a news report no matter the category. I have watched the other local channel’s but come back to ‘BIR’. When I want local news, weather, and sports they are the best.

Who even missed sports?. Home town highlights are fantastic and much more fun than regular sports. Louis made it even more fun to watch with his exciting commentary. Cassie does a great job explaining the weather and she is perky and fun to watch. The whole crew is warm and personable. Great newscast. Paula Miley

Fix Notifications. Please please PLEASE. Fix your notifications settings. To be fair, I’m not sure if it’s the app or the operator who is tagging stories. I was tired of receiving depressing stories sent to me all the time, so I specifically went into the app to turn things off. Unfortunately I still get updates I don’t want. I don’t want to turn off all notifications, I like having important local news sent to me. This has always been a problem with the app and I’m seriously considering deleting for my mental health!

Good app. It’s up to date with local and national news and we’ll sourced. The weather is very good, but could use better information, my noaa app has better graphics, information, and alerts.

Immediate news. Informative and a variety of subjects. The only thing I object too is the constant ad boxes embedded among the stories. In the past few months I’ve had to delete the web site and reload because I’ll click to open and I get the constant arrow going in circles. It refuses to load.

Good Enough. This app is good enough in the sense that I can get news alert notifications, but to click into a story is almost not worth the trouble. If I don’t click the banner notification, I have a slim chance of finding the news story in the app. Then if you do actually find the story, they have so many ads throughout the app that it will freeze the video I’m trying to get to. Most of the time I’ve given up before I ever make it to watching the story.

Too much time. The opening greeting is too long and unnecessary. The ads are Very annoying. Wish the print was a little larger. I absolutely hate having to watch a commercial every time I want to watch a video! WBIR. Has always been our go to for news so I’ll stay with the app. Overall it gets the news job done.

Extremely disappointed. You want to watch ads or commercials this app is for you. If you’re looking for news, you need to find another alternative because this channel does not believe in just giving you the news you have to watch the ads and who has time for that I am no longer watching channel 10 news or the app, completely disappointed, unreliable, and misleading

Restart, Reboot or Something. It is rare that this app doesn’t shut down in the middle of watching/listening to the news...long before 7 AM EST. SO disappointing that they can’t spend the time in making this a successful way to watch/listen to the local news, weather and sports updates.

Leaves much to be desired. This is essentially the mobile website you can access on any browser. Next to nothing has been done to actually optimize this for mobile, and thus navigation is not easy. The app is also plagued with adds (since it is the website) and lags a lot, making navigation harder still. You are better off just going to the website on you mobile browser than installing this app. You will get basically the same content, and quality will be better.

Local, local and local. There are innumerable sources for national news. As a local station, it may be prudent for you to stick to local, regional and state news. Of course, some news of national origin with relevance and/or impact to your DMA is likely welcomed. Not lost on me is how well you follow up on breaking news to bring closure. Please keep it up! Warm regards,

Worst station EVER!. I don’t bother using ‘news’ to describe WBIR because that the last thing you find on their app or channel. 90% of their stories are advertisements for local businesses, fluff feel good stories or new stories from their other stations in other states. Get the local weather and sports is only thing local about this station. But if you want to know what happening local go el ese where.

New version still needs some work. The font size on the front page is too small. I changed the settings on my phone and still I cannot read it. The other negative is the sport scores is not real-time and easily accessible on the main page. In my opinion,I like the previous app version best.

Great Local Coverage. WBIR-TV app offers great news coverage for the Knoxville metro & East TN area. I use it and the WBIR Weather app quite frequently to check on the local news, especially when it’s breaking news that might not be on the TV station until the next broadcast.

Todd Howell, Katie Inman. Having lost trust in the integrity of National news reporting, now I ONLY watch WBIR for the news. Todd Howell and his weather team are the BEST! I feel as if the anchors on WBIR news are doing their best to report the news without adding in their own personal opinions to the story. Katie Inman is a ray of sunshine, always smiling, and does a great job!

Good Idea...Not The Best Execution. This App still needs improvement. There’s great content, but the look of it is busy and difficult to navigate. It seems crammed. And the ads are then crammed in around all the content. Annoying adds which pop up at the bottom must go. Can’t we work them neatly into the main page so they almost flow with the rest of the content? With a little more thought from the developers, this can be a great app. So much potential.

New that you look forward to watching. The knowledgeable reporters here, deliver the news with sincerity, professionalism, and with a relatability factor that emanates from them. This is what you get with each and every airing of wbir 10 news. Thank you so much for what you do, and what you are to our community! Tony C

App has several bugs.. Crashes and videos won’t play properly. Also advertises to me in Japanese and Spanish. Information is plentiful but the app itself has issues.

WBIR App Review. I think the app is amazing. It is very user friendly. It helps through out the day. The notifications are greatly appreciated by me. The stories are well written and get to the point. Overall this app is amazing and I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an app that is easy to use. I rated this app 5 stars! 😀

Weather update. I do not like new update. You have nothing to show the allergens like before, you have to search everywhere to find what was a simple process before. All around this new update is terrible, leaves a lot to be desired. Weather part is the worst. You ask me to rate and if I don't want to give you a star it will not let me rate. The new update is very slow to load and just throws you off. Liked the older version better.

Worst app for news now!. Renewed the app and it is terrible now! All the ads are a pain! Keeps jumping to the beginning all the time! Give me back the old app! This sorry! A station as big as channel 10 should have better design than this!

10News the Best. I moved to Hamilton County but I still watch channel 10’s exceptional coverage of all types of events. I really love the newscasters and remember Robins first days on camera and I’m so glad she as well as other “old timers” are still there. I have watched channel 10 since 1976. Thank you so much. I wish your weather map could drop a further south to cover those of us near Chattanooga. I’ll always tune in to10News

WBIR App has gone downhill. WBIR has always been my go to news source here in Knoxville, they are truly straight from the heart and honest. I don’t spend much time in front of the TV anymore so I relay on news apps to get my news these days. WBIRs notifications have always kept me informed and up to date. But unfortunately that’s where the apps usefulness stop. For the past year of so I’ve constantly been upset by the fact when I click on breaking news I’m taken to a page with the story but then the video doesn’t pertain to the headline, I end up watching a full minute of adds just to see that it’s the wrong video. The amount of adds also bug me, I can never tell what is fact or sponsored. The last thing that’s bothered me with the new app layout is I can’t narrow down news story tops anymore. The bottom buttons are your only options and you can’t drill down to local or world etc. All this to say...I’m keeping the app on my phone as a second source of local news but for quick notifications I’m having to go to WATE.

App needs help. I have always loved the Wbir app, but this new one will bump you out and it’s frustrating to be looking at the weather or an article and get bumped out and have to start over again. Please update the app. Thanks

WBIR-TV IS THE BEST. Rather than just something they say, “Straight from the heart,” is what they actually do. The Team, or Family at WBIR, reports the news. They do not editorialize and they report stories of genuine kindness and human interest as well. At our home and on-line, WBIR is our source for local news. Thank you for a job that is consistently well done!

WBIR news LOVE and miss. We started streaming and we don’t have local news and NBC Today show miss it soooooo much but have cut our billing almost in half and being retired our budget has changed. Life is a change maybe we’ll figure out some day to get it back 🤗

Dish Network!. Being without NBC because of the disagreement has not cost Dish anything. They are not pushing for settlement because we, the subscribers of Dish, have continued to pay for a service we have not received. So much for the Dish Promise!

Where’s the old weather app?. I very disappointed in this app. I used the weather app all the time. This new app is problematic. The previous weather app was simple and very useful. The new one takes to long to get anywhere or get the info you want. Please give us the previous weather app that was only weather back. When I need the weather I don’t have time to go through all the other pages.

10 news app and TV commentators. The app is so full of adverts ugh. Thank for sending updates for the most part they are relevant I would like to make a comment about how egotistical your tv adverts are. It’s nothing but pictures of the news team and how wonderfully long they have held their jobs there. Almost like flaunting it to the public. I have a great job for twenty years and you don’t! Let’s do more stories about not just Knoxville how about TN in general when you run out of stories locally. Stop it with your too many 10 news commercials about how great Y0U are and more about how great Knoxville is. Thanks

Not so great. I watch the TV Channel, but this app is in great need of repair. If I get a notification to go to the app to read something important, it is rarely there. Or it shuts down and takes me completely out. The news is not always up to date with the stories not complete. I rarely use this app anymore as the other news stations give much better and complete and correct news stories.

App crashes. With the new update, the screen continually freezes and you cannot do anything. I’m not even able to read more than one store before I have to reset and go back in. Was happy with the app before the new update.

Love 10 News, app is slow and cluttered. I have been a 10 News junkie my whole life. But the app was updated a year or so ago and it is just slow and cluttered on all my current production iPhones. Hopefully they make the app simpler and easier to find the news I am looking for.

It’s a scam. This is nothing more than a scam to get you to watch commercials when there is a live event. You will get a notification of live breaking news. When you click on the notification, it opens the app goes to the breaking event, then starts running a never ending cycle of commercials. If you exit out of the commercials and try to restart the live event, it starts the commercials over again. I have never successfully watched any live breaking news. I think everyone understands that free apps are covered by some sort of advertising but come on isn’t one commercial good enough before starting the live breaking news?

What a horrible update!. The app is so much worse than before. Now it jumps/skitters when you scroll down, there is an area where it LOOKS like you can scroll to the side to view a carousel of data that does not work, if you click a story and go back you better hope you want to go to the top of the page because that is where you will be, and finally the international news is gone. After a long time, this is the update that’s making me say “goodbye”.

News. I love watching 10 news. It’s who works there. That’s why I keep watching. I do miss Russell in the mornings. And with Beth in the evening.. I hope he is doing something great now we miss him. But love everyone there. 10 news is what I grew up on. And I’m 62 So I think I will stick with the best!!!!!

App is horrible and misleading- just advertising. This app is just a platform for the creator to generate ad revenue. The content and notices are ‘interestingly’ the same with different wording as the alerts/notices as their news competitor here in Knoxville. Also, they will constantly tell you that your app needs updating even though you are on the latest version. I am uninstalling. The last straw was tonight where their main photo of a breaking news story about a crash on the interstate was a picture of a different road covered with snow when we haven’t had decent snow in the last 10 months. They need to at the least try harder and actually give you a real picture of the news supposedly being covered. Save yourself some frustration and go elsewhere for news alerts.

Accurate and Informative News. The news broadcasts from this station are delivered with style and the information given is news you can believe.

Constant pop up adds. The app used to work great. Now I only have it open for seconds before it sends me to the App Store with adds. It is impossible to read more than a sentence of an article before the next pop up.

Useless for weather. I thought this app was new and improved until last Wed. night when we had a terrible storm in P.Forge. There was NOTHING on here about it storming, no warnings, nothing!!! We lost power and I tried to see if we were under any tornado warnings, wind alerts, etc and again Nothing!! I am very disappointed in this app and can’t depend on it when I need it the most. I since downloaded the app My Radar, which is wonderful for those those that feel the same way.

Timely and accurate News and Weather. After just recently moved to area, I was looking for quality news station. Well, I found what I was looking for. Keep up the good work

Worse news app. WBIR should look at their advertising. Who has time to watch at 30 second commercial when trying to get news. It’s one thing to have advertising but every new video for 30 seconds. And not only that, many times the advertisements are on loop and don’t get to the news. These developers must do some research. I feel like this app is “good enough” to release. As a news outlet you should strive to be the best at providing factual news, in a timely manner. For the writers, y’all need some writing classes as well. Being this is a professional news service, you should not have someone like me (no journalism background) who can put out info without grammatical errors and better news. I’m deleting this app in search of a different local news app.

Simply the best!. From the heart.... professional and personal, WBIR-TV is my source for everything. Wherever I happen to be this app lets me take them with me; and that's all good because they make me feel at home. Actually, I think they are my family !

Best source for up to date, and breaking news.. This is by far the best news app for getting up to date, and breaking news. I also highly recommend their weather app.

Channel 10 News Is The Best. I love watching Channel 10 news there is encouragement from this news station. And just installed the app about three months ago. And love when you give tips on how to use it. And Love The Heartland series. Thanks so much for all you do. A sincere friend here at Washburn TN hugs 🤗

Better news from 3 day old paper. If you are looking to find the most misspelled words or inaccurate stories, this is the app for you. It’s like a third grader writes their stories. The new app constantly sends you to ads and the App Store for garbage you don’t want. Guess they think people in Tennessee are inbred idiots and won’t notice.... Not user friendly. Has same tired stories day after day. Traffic option is joke. Save your time and download any other local channel app. Or really just watch Fox News. These untalented folks just recycle everything the Nationals carry. Straight from the heart and straight to the dumps!

Turned into near hijacker app. Until latest versions, this was my favorite app for local up to the minute news. However, using the app now results in numerous trips to the App Store by just opening an article. Even if I close the App Store and go back to WBIR-TV app, it immediately jumps back to the App Store with a different App from the adds. So once that cycle starts you can't end it. Even if I have the App Store open with an App I am looking at, WBIR-TV app takes it over. I emailed the support weeks ago and got the expected nothing. So this review to warn others.

Not a big fan of the new app. I really enjoyed the layout of the old app. I have had pretty regular issues with the new app not loading in a reasonable amount of time. It’s also a little more difficult to look through all stories quickly. When I select a story to read and then return to the main menu to look for more stories, the app returns me to the top of the page. Not the most convenient. I do like the coverage though.

I Love it except for 1 thing. When I get the daily notification in the morning with today’s headlines, sometimes I can’t find the dang story on the app! I’ll look under each category and never find it. This happens frequently so I suggest a different design that’s more user friendly. Otherwise, I really enjoy having this app. The notifications and alerts are really helpful.

WBIR NEWS APP. Disappointed with this app. Way too many commercials and it’s extremely hard to navigate. Absolutely not user friendly for visually impaired people . Just does not flow. Very disappointed

❤️❤️❤️❤️. Tennessee is my home state and even tho I currently live in SWF I use your app to keep up with weather / events and all the important things back home. Carolyn Smith

My opinion. I really wish there was a Search button so I could find an event I was looking for quickly. I didn’t find it at all. (The Gibbs Christmas Parade, time and date)

10 news!. I enjoy 10 News daily! I only watch 10 News on a daily basis!

Up to date news 24-7. Hands down the best news station in the market!

I give it 4 stars. For the most part the online version of WBIR-TV is pretty but it would be improved tremendously if there was a section for high school sports scores. I wish they would consider adding that. Without the high school sports scores I find myself looking at a rival television station.

Good balance of news from East Tennessee. Good writing and balance of not only Knoxville but surrounding areas too. Only negative is sometimes the app doesn’t refresh.

Love the channel. From Knoxville but Cleveland Tn is where I live now. Like keeping up with home news. You guys do a great job

Ads crash the app. Ads interrupt reading stories and watching reports but usually do not load and force you to quit the app. WBIR get your act together and make this app work better

App keeps locking up. Great app to keep up with local news but since I upgraded to an iPhone 12 the app locks up and then I have to delete the app and reinstall. I’ve had to do this every other day for two weeks now.

Channel 10 Weather Team. Channel 10 in Knoxville is excellent! I especially like the “verify” segments. The Weather Team is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Great job y’all!

New online format. I think the new format is harder to navigate- too much scrolling to get to what you want to read.

WBIR is a great station to watch when I’m not in East Tennessee. I love the news cast over all. There app sometimes will act up some and repeat things or words people speak.

News flash. Sometimes it is hard to get to the stories when the updates come in as a news flash.

Old Weather App. Your old weather app that was independent of your news app worked much better for me personally. Hopefully in the future you can separate the two again.

Good. The app works good but when I get traffic notifications and I click on it it takes me to a map but won’t show the details of the traffic it just shows an icon.

This app is mobile cancer. The app takes over audio when you open it, whether you are playing a video or not. The ads on the app and WBIR’s site in general are obtrusive click bait and cause me to go elsewhere for my news. I prefer WBIR personalities, but don’t use this app because of the issues stated.

Wate app. Always keeps me current. Easy to use. Too many pop up ads, though.

Very disappointing. Do not like the continuous scrolling! Very annoying. Not an user friendly upgrade. Go back to the earlier version!

The only news. We watch and follow WBIR channel 10 as our source for news, weather, and traffic in Knoxville

Just love it!. Always on time and up to date

Channel 10 News. I absolutely love ch 10! Everyone is always so nice & down to earth. Wouldn’t watch any other station. Straight from the heart! ❤️

Notifications. As far as news goes, it's pretty good The notifications need more moderation. Why do I care that corker called trump childish? That's not breaking news. Someone needs to moderate the "breaking news" notifications better. We only need to know IMPORTANT breaking news with notifications.

Crashes. The app is wonderful until it starts crashing while you are reading! It’s already happened 3 times this morning! Very frustrating.

WBiR - best for local news.. Always like watching John & Robin, Abbey & Heather. Plus the weather guys. All are very pleasant, professional, easy to listen to which makes WBIR the channel so popular. Love the theme “from the heart”.

Review. Channel 10 keeps us informed of the traffic and most recent news . Thank you for your coverage.

Enjoying app WBIR 10. I love that even on the go I can get a quick update. They alert me on my phone for traffic report or weather. Love all your people .

Videos die but not before ad finishes. Well folks, why can’t you offer more than sprinkler protection ads? Wanted to watch "cute" raccoon/cat rescue but got nothing but black screen after ad AND a locked up app...no good.

Ads. Do not like the ads you have to watch before you hear the news report!

WBIR news alerts. Consistent delivery before and during important weather and other occurring events. Accurate information which is useful for accessing and taking action.

Constantly throws me to the App Store. I can’t read an article without getting thrown to the App Store. Like I’ve clicked an advertisement...only I haven’t clicked anything. Then when I try to close the App Store and go back to the article, it keeps flipping back to the App Store. To the point that I have to do a hard close on both apps to get it to stop. VERY FRUSTRATING!

Happy. Love 10 news website is wonderful

Accurate reporting. Channel 10 cares about our community and travelers to the area. Their reporting is accurate and easy to understand.

WBIR-TV GREAT. I love this app because I know when I am away from home or even out doing errands I can pull it up and get information I need. I rely on it more than I ever thought I would. Thank you to everyone involved with providing it for us!

Bugs. It is an ok app but you all make it Seem like the best app ever on your news but really it’s so glitchy and it won’t even let you read more then one article with out it freezing or loading forever please with it it’s not working

WBIR-TV. Like the down to earth personalities; up to date news; local events happenings; and the current weather, along with traffic news.

Good news cast. I always get the top news (where ever I am) I couldn’t ask for a better home news app

TOO many ads!. This used to be my go-to app for Knoxville news. Now when I try to read a story there is a large ad every few lines, usually a repeat of the same one or two. I don’t mind a single ad but when an article is interrupted 4 or 5 times while an ad loads and takes up screen area, sorry but it’s time to go to another local news app that respects its users.

Current. This site needs to stay current on local news. Breaking news is posted quicker on other local new website. Many folks myself rely on getting news on line. YOUR NEWS APP SHOULD BE A PRIORITY. Tom Hemrick

Thank you App Team!. Received an answer from App Team they are checking on the hijacking to App Store. Just downloaded 10 news again. Best local news and easy to navigate. THANK YOU

No more alerts!. I love being able to watch live news, but I only want weather alerts. Even after disabling all alerts except severe weather, I keep getting different news updates.

My Go-To for a quick news overview. WBIR-TV provides at-a-glance what I want to know to stay updated. Runs smoothly, decently organized, and where I go for our local news!

Mary Campbell. Always right on time and up to date with latest news weather and sports.

News you can count on. Always accurate and informative!!! My “ go to” for up to date news, Great Job!!

Best Station in the Market. WBIR-TV is definitely the best station in the area. They have a happy staff that stays with them. We always enjoy starting our day with Abbey & Russel. The weather folks are the best as are all the news team.

Overall good app. Overall this is a good app. The only thing, which is a big deal to me, is the push notifications. I don’t have any topics favorited, but still get multiple notifications throughout the day. The only notification I want is school closings.

You care. Great community engagement and feedback. WBIR says what it means and means what it says. Glad you are a reliable trusted source for just in time news and information.

Excellent Accurate Coverage. Always up to date, ethical, and straight forward coverage. I get all my news weather and traffic on the VOLS network.

Don’t like updated version. What’s with all the ads? And it constantly jumps around. Please get it back the way it used to be. I can’t tell news stories from ads anymore! I have to hunt for the news!

Ads Out. I like the news, but don’t like all the ads in between the news stories.

Weather. Your for case of the weather is right on.
