Columbia News from WLTX News19 App Reviews

Fix it please❗️. I used to love this app to stay in tuned because I have a busy life but now it doesn’t ever load any of the stories! Just a white screen then force close 🙄

Needs to be fixed. The notifications are great, on time, and consistent, but once you click on them it freezes. I can never get to the actual story once the notification is clicked. It stays frozen and I have to close the app completely. Major bugs and glitches

News Now. I Love the fact of Not waiting at the Top of the Hour just to still miss out on the News. Still missed something? Just type it in and catch Up!!!

Please fix!. I love this app and it’s convenient but it constantly freezes when trying to open the notification. Please correct immediately, I need my updates throughout the day. ☀️🌻✨

Good, Informative news app. Notifications are a little frequent, but clear and concise. It tells you The Who, what when, and where of incidents both national & local. I would have to agree that new alerts seem to be on the negative side - violence, criminal activity, etc. if you put on a do not disturb, will the alerts not show up during those times? Sometimes we need a break.

19 app. I like the news headlines & the layout of the news stories. They are always up to date

What the hee haw?. This WAS my go to app for traffic in South Carolina. I tried to bring up the Traffic Tracker and I can’t even find it. The old format, with choices on the home page, not stories, was much better. Please fix the app so I can EASILY use Traffic Tracker. Don’t make me dump your app because it’s current format is confusing and useless to me when I’m trying to check traffic or other items in a hurry.

Love News 19. I watch News 19 and will not have it any other way! I love News at 5, News at 6, News at 7 and News at 11! Miss Jim Gandy but Efran is doing good! Street Squad is fantastic! News 19 is the best!! 🥰🤞🏼

Accurate news. Although the app has way too many ads and some useless notifications, I do appreciate the accurate reporting especially when it comes to typically biased stories about President Trump. The good things he has done for us are not turned upside down as they are in the NY Times which I do not read any more. Limit the ads and only send out breaking news notifications. Jim Gandy does the best weather.

Better than the competition's app. I prefer the WLTX app over WIS. It is well organized, isn't littered with insignificant news from other parts of SC and Charlotte, and is easy to navigate. The alerts with breaking news, weather and traffic are timely.

Ruby McClurkin. Great way to get news and updates 24/7 from my home or on my phone. Miss Mrs. Darci but Adrienne seem to be going on.

I love this station. Great and accurate information and excellent news personnel. Always in the community.

Not bad, but…. I’m order to refresh the app’s pages, you often need to close it and restart it.

Great reporting. I have been a fan of WLTX for many years and will continue to be for years to come. The information they report on is very reliable. I trust them over any other news cast. Keep up the great work.

Quality local news!. A friendy UI with just the right amount of "push notifications"

Info up to date. Each subject gives very needed information that help my family to make decisions about shopping and social events. National and statewide information is always accurate. International information is also accurate. My family and I appreciate the time and energy used to gather the information.

WLTX is the best news channel in our area.. I’m just a WLTX news junkie. I can depend on WLTX for breaking local and national news and I don’t trust any other channel for our weather in SC. You are the best! I’d be hard pressed to say who I like the best because I like all of you. Everybody does an outstanding job. Kudos to WLTX, the best overall news channel.

Top News. This is the first place I go to check local news and weather. WLTX has the best weatherman and news team.

App Freezes when clicking to view notifications.. App Freezes when clicking to view notifications.

Best News Station Ever. I love WLTX News and the app is awesome I can take it wherever I go never miss any news!!! I love the morning show Whitney Daniel and Christy brighten up my day!!!!

It's different. I liked the last version better...takes some getting used to. I don't like local and national news being together....

Usefulness not as great. Searching the app and finding content sometimes can be difficult. Overall I enjoy the ability to at least get top news stories.

Have always enjoyed WLTX. You all are the best news crew in the midland. Thank you for keeping us informed for all of these years.

Best News Station in Columbia, SC. I love following this station daily. I watch live from 5-7 a.m before work, I tape the midday report, the 7pm and 11p.m. Best team for local news! follow up through the news app on my phone. I am hooked! Please convey my thanks to an excellent team. Be blessed, Jeri and my grand doggie Rooney

To many ads. I like the WLTX app but when I need to see the weather or updates on COVID-19, I refuse to sit through an ad about some mobile game. I quickly go to the WIS app. Please shorten the ads if you are going to play them or play the ad after the important video is played. The news is not ‘BREAKING’, or ‘IMPORTANT’ if a 20 second ad for a mobile game is played before the information is given. If not, I can get my weather and news from another site with less useless ads. Thank you for your time and consideration of my comment.

Easier To Navigate/More Info. Dropped the News App, over a year ago, appears to be easier to use and has more information.

Fast. I live in Atlanta. I follow WLTX because I grew up in Columbia and my folks still live there. Your site sends me very fast info. Sometimes I get national news from you guys before my Atlanta station sends it to me. Thank you.

Needs Work. The app seems to focus on certain types of news and doesn’t show a broad spectrum across the Columbia area. Also, I don’t like the fact that you can’t filter what notifications you would like. My phone is constantly notifying me of every little thing from puppies being born to major weather alerts. The weather alerts I want...the puppies, not so much. You don’t want to turn them off because you might miss something that’s actually important. I tried to reach out via feedback to the developers a week or so before leaving a review, but I found that they don’t respond or even acknowledge receipt of feedback. I just moved here so I hope I can find another news app. I do not recommend this one unless you constantly want notifications.

Updates Accurate. I love the Instant updates of weather and pressing news! I’m kept abreast of the most important info even while I’m at work and not able to watch newscasts.

Terrible Update. The most recent update to this app is poorly done. It reacts slowly, it’s hard to read, it’s poorly laid out, and when backing out of an article you are taken to the top of the home page instead of being returned to the point where you were last reading. This is truly one of the worst updates I’ve even seen made to a news app.

Best network in Columbia. I’ve been watching channel 19 for up to date news and weather forecasts for 60 years! I would have been watching it longer but I didn’t care about the news before then! Thanks for being there for half of those years JR ! Hopefully you’ll hang around until I’m gone!

Sassy54. Love to be able to have news when I want it and it isn't old information. And the alerts are great for weather.

Yeah WLTX!. Thank you for providing “real” people that appeal to all South Carolinians! Your on air talent pool is spectacular! Gandy and Bonds are the most accurate weathermen in the area. I appreciate their steadiness and calmness in frightening situations. Thank you Darcy Strickland for just being YOU! Everyone is outstanding.

App is stable, good local and more news source. My only complaint is that links to show more seems to expire quickly, only the very latest seems to be active links. Other than that, solid app. News is news, and for the most part it seems reasonably fair.

Edit news before posting. Majority of the stories posted on the WLTX site have numerous spelling and wording errors! Just take an extra 5 mins or another set of eyes to proofread and edit text.

I enjoy WLTX. I really enjoy WLTX app I read from the app every day. WLTX is one of my favorite app because it keep me informed About our local news and also national and international.i I keep up with all of the news in the low country are and nation wide. I enjoy reading WLTX news and I read it every day.

Love coverage but not app. I love how the Channel 19 staff members cover a mix of local, national, and global news—about topics of interest to us South Carolinians. The personalities are so happy and positive! The app is a little hard to use if you’re looking for a specific story.

Speedy news. Informative quick details. Thanks

Worst adds. Love the breaking news and live videos, but when you’re throwing a 15-60 add I can’t skip through, it really makes it hard to jump in quickly and get the information you’re putting out.

Ads Pop Up. Too any ads pop up when I'm trying to read the news. It takes too much time to even read the news anymore. I don't use the app as much as I used to. It was better when I first started using the app this spring.

Watching News 19. I like watching News 19. Being informed of what is going on around me. Your team always has a positive attitude & seems to enjoy their jobs. I like having updates on the weather that helps me decide what to wear to work.

I Live WLTX. I truly love your in-station programming such as the daily news with Darci, JR and and the early morning news program with Brandon, Whitney and Andrea. They are always so thorough, polite and friendly. No other network matches your demeanor!!

Stories and ads. When I start reading a story I am interrupted by ads and junk. I get so tired of having to scroll I usually just forget it and never finish. I know ads are revenue but I am fed up with the placement

Like but....... Editing is awful. Recently, there was one story that the headline was the exact opposite of the story. Misspelled words, incorrect grammar, sentences that don't make sense, and other errors. My Junior High School paper had better editing. Sometimes when news is slow a really trivial story pops up and I would just rather not be notified. Just for the record, when you are talking about you and somebody else, correct grammar is ------ and me or I. Not me and ------- a number of newscasters have this problem and how can children be expected to use good grammar when newscasters don't.

Up to date local news!!. I enjoy the up to date news and sports!

Commenting on stories. I’d like a chance to have a section of each story to make comments. I’m from Utah and our local station KSL has a great app that allows you to make comments. The app also has that best classified section I’ve seen anywhere in the US. Take a look at their app for examples of what people like. Thanks for letting us give feedback.

Update is awful. For starters, you can’t set font size permanently. I have to adjust for every story each time I open app & even switching stories. Swiping up to get to next story is ridiculous—bring back left to right. There’s no flow, have to go back to main page after 2 stories. All in all I’ve given up on this app.

No longer user friendly. When I open a story I expect to open the story, not just a sentence and a link to the rest of it. It used to do that and you’ve changed it. When I click the link and scroll to read then I get a full page ad. There’s no reason for so many clicks to get to news.

WLTX news 19. Absolutely love WLTX and all of its staff members and how they keep the public in the know. The BEST news channel in the state of South Carolina! Thank you guys for your diligence and all that you do! -Tonya

I do pay attention. I get all my news way before my friends and they think 🤔 I have been sitting waiting TV all day. Should I share my secret?

WLTX is our Favorite Channel. I would definitely miss WLTX News & CBS news & shows.. It is essential that the public not lose WLTX. As a consumer this is not acceptable!!

Kut da news on he ain’t got no shoes on……. Best news station ever!!!!!! Been watching since I was a juvenile

News. I cannot stand the advertisements! I would pay a small fee not too have them.

Garbage. I’ve removed and downloaded it multiple times. The app freezes and give you false impression that is going to work as it just freezes. If you remove and then reinstall the app it’ll work fine one time and then back to crap.

Best news station. Love everything about WLTX!! Best news station in Columbia

Good App. It's a good app to check on my local news.

Love News 19. My favorite for all the news and weather

Review. This upgrade is so much better than previous versions! Much more user friendly, Thanks for updating!

The Best. I really enjoy the app. Very informative and Trust worthy. An excellent station. That shares the truth that helps the viewer. Thanks so very much.

App crashes every other day!. I downloaded this app about two weeks ago. After two days it crashes. I have to delete it and download it again. Crashes again like clockwork every two days. I guess I’ll get my local news from somewhere else.

News. Very informational.

Amazing. Love getting news so quickly and very accurate

WLTX Review. As Deputy Coroner in Richland County SC I rely on the WLTX News APP to keep me informed daily whether on shift and in the news or off shift and need to know what is happening. Keep up the good work Team WLTX. Jim R

Hard to navigate.. I clicked on an articule and when I began reading, the app glitches and sent me back to the home screen and I can’t find the article again. Having a search function would’ve solved the issue but now I have to go online to find it which defeats the purpose of having an app.

Freezes up. The WLTX app is super annoying lately. Each time I try to read an article it freezes up and I have to keep closing and reopening the app, so frustrating! Please fix this!

Love the updates. WLTX app is always up to date

I watch 19 news daily. Morning an noon an evening. Trust no other news cast.. Evening.

Too much freezing.. This app freezes as soon as I tap on a notification

News Alerts. Awesome!

I give u 5 stars. Very good thanks for covering the midland

Good app. Easy to use.. Content of news sometimes lacking. Weather people are great.

The news. This app lets you know what’s going on.

Complaint. Never loads when I need to see the news or use this app.

The Best. I love WLTX! It’s the only news I watch and the only news app I have on my phone. Love you guys!

WLTX app. This is the app I depend on for local weather and news. It’s great and easy to use.

Breaking news advertisement. Really hate you have watch a commercial before watching a live broadcast on breaking news. It’s not always about money. A real turn off.

Wltx 19. I’m enjoying watching WLTX 19, thanks for sharing the news with us and keeping us informed of what is going on in our state!!

Ms. I like I can find current up to date news 27/7!! Most take weekends off.

Very appreciative. My favorite station for news and sports period.

Was a good app. This was my main app for news in Columbia until they started playing commercials in the background when you go to the crime section. I have turned to a competitor for my news now.

Love the app. Wonderful app, the layout is simple and navigation is wonderful.

Awesome!. WKTX has the fastest latest breaking news coverage ever!

Up to date on all current events. I appreciate WLTX for always being on point

WLTX. I love watching WLTX they keep me updated on stories that I didn’t know about keep up the good work staff you all are great full 😘😘

My Go To Station. If I need the most current news about Covid Vaccine... you guys are always right on the spot!

Great App. Up to date breaking news alerts, well spoken, professional news anchors. Amazing all around!

Ads. Too many ads between the news!

Great. It’s great to keep up with the news.

Review. App keeps freezing up on my i phone 8+

News and weather. The best!

Should try harder. Incredibly left leaning. Barley covering the news and if so spun to promote agenda. Their editing also leaves much to be desired, at least use proper grammar and spelling. If you want a better Columbia news source use WIS

Review. Love this app it keeps me up to date on all newsfeed!

Dictionary. Need to use spellcheck

Review. If I am not streaming this is the Chanel I watch. If it were more balanced and less liberal I would have given it 5 Stars.

Good ole 19. Notifications are tease and not news I’d expect from my favorite channel. Then when I click I have to click again before I get the story; not the way to give me the facts. Oh! And stop sugar coating what Trump does; he’s a failure and folks know it.

Ruined Radar. Major step back for the radar. Need to go back to before the latest update.

Bring back WLTX. Bring back to dish. We don’t get WLTX anymore!

WLTX. I am from the Orangeburg area but no longer live there. I like that I can keep up with my hometown via WLTX. They report on Orangeburg frequently.

Notifications. For each notification you have to then click another link to get the whole story. This is one reason I wait for another news service to break the news. Poor design in my opinion.

Mountain Mama. Country Roads take me home. This old dog needed a new trick. Just moved back home & tried it on a whim. Not the station my mom watches. Me either, now.
