Sonja HAYES. My favorite station!! Love all the Reporters!! The morning crew gets me in a great mood for the day!!

We get it.... I hate the pop up window saying this was brought to me by children’s. I get it. It doesn’t have to be there every. Freaking. Time. I open the app.

Keeps freezing. I use to like this app since wbir updated there’s but I can’t stand it every time I got to look at the news it freezes and want do anything

We love 6 On Your Side. Awesome station, my wife and I watch only 6 , We love all your anchors , especially Teresa and Matt, will never watch another station for news weather sports

Shout down constantly. When Im reading the news I never can finish to do it cause it shout down everytime I try it

Lock up. Love the content but app locks up often and u have to close out and reopen to get going again.

Business Analysis. I enjoy the this news app 😀Breaking the newest news worthy content is awesome. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did you conduct a usability study?. I shouldn’t have to click three times to read a full story, which appears to be the case with the new version. Highly annoying, enough such that I may revisit using the other local news apps.

Changed App. The app apparently updated and is now useless. Will delete.

When something is good, why does it change?. Got family members scattered all through East Tennessee. So living in Florida, I figured WATE was a great way to keep informed on events in the E. Tennessee area. So I downloaded this app about a year ago. The last update has really messed things up. When you click on a news story. After nearly a paragraph it prompts you to press an icon to continue reading. So it takes you to another page. Then in about a few sentences later another icon pops up with the same message. Once you acknowledge that button the advertisement disappears. I understand advertisements is what keeps the app free. But, going through all this may not be worth the time.

Can get past location screen since update. Unable to view news/weather since update. Can’t get past the location screen.

News. Weather is great but news could be better in description of what happens

You could improve!. 1. Finish sentences 2. Report completely. Often I’ve noticed that your “stories” are barely two sentences, or perhaps three. 3. Set the grammatical example for your readers. (Do you not realize that you may have a little influence?) 4. Be sure of your spelling. There are a few suggestions. Enjoy.

From best to worst/ Scratch that.... Until the recent update WATE 6 had been the best Knoxville news app. Blah,blah, blah... Updated: Upon further review, this app still has the best selection of local stories.

WATE NEWS. Wish there was more national news and pro sports news. Everything is repeated every 10 minutes. The anchors and everyone that’s on air are great.

6, Six, is one better than a perfect five.. 23 years ago we retired to East Tennessee. Having to learn about new TV stations and people involved in them, I checked all the local ones. I quickly decided Channel 6, WATE was my choice.....for news, for weather, for everything. And they remain so to this day. Earlier this year the cable company was in some sort of money dispute and I was without Channel 6 for right at 2 months. It was like losing my best friend. Channel 6 is my choice as number 1.

Current. Always current with the local update and surrounding areas 👍

Advertisement is losing you downloads. This app was fine until they put a ridiculous time delay to swipe away the opening full page ad. No one has time to stare at that. I’ve deleted the app and won’t be back.

Sort of a news app.... To say this app has problems is a courteous understatement. The notifications that pop up on your lock screen don’t always take you to the story in question, and invariably you’ll have to swipe to dismiss at least one ad (and maybe more) to actually get to the story. The Traffic notifications are the worst. The notification often isn’t long enough to include all of the necessary information enabling you to avoid the area, but if you tap the notification, it doesn’t take you to a longer story, it takes you to a traffic map that is usually so out of date as to be useless, if it even opens on the location involved. Usually, it just opens a screen showing the entire five county area, and YOU have to figure out what part to zoom in on. It’s also obvious that the newsroom is doing cut-and-paste to flesh out stories, and don’t bother to catch grammatical or spelling mistakes, and even sometimes inconsistent factual information. My favorite example is a headline saying the identity of a body found earlier has been released, but the first paragraph of the story says the identification is still being withheld pending notification of relatives, and then the second paragraph goes ahead and names the victim! Do these people even HAVE an editor?

Excellent!. I now am keeping up!!

Only one!. WATE is the only news app I will ever have on my phone. I tried them all, and only WATE keeps up with updates..... also not too many at a time. I hate the updates on the other east TN news app that (seems to me) happen everyday. Also upset that AT&T Uverse bumped WATE off the air. Go WATE!

Inaccuracy. Very disappointed in WATE. They’ve covered stories and where most likely pressed for time on running it, failed to confirm facts before running the story. This damages people’s lives, families, and careers. We used to love watching WATE. But now watch another local news station. Because they didn’t run a certain story about some dear friends of ours. Probably because they didn’t want to report false information. Much respect for the integrity of WVLT.

Sonny. Great news and weather !! I enjoy the traffic alerts and the breaking news on the app on my phone. Thanks 6!!!:)

Freezing. App keeps freezing lately and has become unusable. I have to restart the app every time it happens and it happens after about a minute. I’ve reinstalled but that didn’t help.

Easy to use. Like the clear display. Not too cluttered.

Debi1212. Good to have. First thing I look at in the morning. Lots of push alerts but then the story may not be there for a while Same stories appear over and over

Weekday website pretty good. Weekend not so good. Pretty good updates during the work week but weekend website to updated with current data

Information. Sometimes hard to get news clips to load. No return message when you upload messages to the station

My favorite local news is WATE. I love the WATE tv program and the app. The reporters are nice

Bug maybe?. If I could give 0 stars I would. I love getting my news from this app especially since I can’t watch the news every night at 6 and by 11 I’m in bed. Here lately every time I start reading a story, the app will freeze and at times it will restart its self. It’s getting old and I’m about to the point of deleting the app and going with another local news app.

Just my opinion.. I’ve have been a Channel 6 loyal view since 93. It’s the only news in Knoxville I will watch. Love all the personalities. I would like to mention something I just watched on the news cast. You team was at the Smokies Stadium filming a wonderful story on the Make A Wish Organization. As I was watching I noticed that while speaking to the father the fans were standing and the national anthem was being sung. Please as a Proud American and a mother of a Army soldier and a veteran KPD Officer please ask your team members to pay attention to this and stop the interview till the anthem is finished. Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Great news channel.. I always go to channel 6 to get the latest new. Keep up the good work keeping us informed of what’s going on.

Not good. They pound you with ads and you wish you hadn’t connected.

Doris. Great job of keeping us informed.

Weather. The only thing I would like to see you change is to put Matt Hinkin back on the evening time slot. I have watched him for years. He is an icon at the station. And since he has shared his story about his diagnosis of Parkinson’s, he can be a source of hope and encouragement to others. The evening time slot would give him greater exposure to those also dealing with the disease.

Advertising, power hungry app. We have three stations for local news. Be sure to skip this one for sure. Open the app and the first thing your presented with is an ad. Once you clear that and open a category like news, after the very first story you'll find yet another ad. I understand the need to make money but don't litter them throughout the news stories. If you're looking for an app that'll waste your time, this is for you. If you need an app that sends you pointless notifications about the Vols being arrested and not something important like traffic backups on the interstate, this is for you. If you want a power hungry app to drain your battery, this is for you. On a plus note, it deletes pretty quickly. And once removed all of the negatives I mentioned will go away.

WATE 6. Great coverage quickly.

Liberal views. I enjoy keeping up with local news and would give WATE 5 stars instead of 3 if they would not insert liberal views into the news stories. I want to keep abreast of what’s going on in my area but I don’t wish to have political opinions, whether Right or Left, included. JUST NEWS!!!

The New App Doesn’t Work Well. Haven’t had good luck with the new App at all. Could watch the news more consistently and just fine with the old App

Best News Channel. I love channel 6 news. You guys are the best

WATE. Great app for news and local sports!

WATE News app Review. I love the app & getting all the minute by minute news stories, but I work night shift & the alert prompt sound is rather annoying when you r trying to sleep during the day, However I love all the WATE News/Weather Team & wouldn’t get my local new or weather from any other source. Very accurate & reliable. Love them all. No other weather man I trust and love to hear weather reports from more than Matt Hinkin, with Ken Weathers with the weather coming in 2nd. For the news, love Lorie Tucker, Kristen, and Bo. Always so professional yet friendly down to earth with a Great Love for East Tennessee. No other channel for news & weather in Knoxville for me.

Wate. Love you guys appreciate all the hard work great stories and important info💐

Money vs. morality. I get the need for ads to make money, but when there is severe weather and threats of tornados in the area, you should not have to wait for an ad or two before you can view the live weather forecast. Under no circumstances is that appropriate in an emergency situation.

News. Absolutely thank you for your news I have only my phone no tv so you help me in so many ways thank you all so much may God bless you all🙏🙏

WATE 6App.. Thank you for making my life easier with this app.

Love the weather!. Whole app is great and keeps you in touch when out of town.

Good Guys. This team are an awsome team they cut up and make hearing the new and weather enjoyable I love all of the WATE team from Bo to Trisha to Trint to Mat and Lorie you guys and gals keep up the awsome job you do love all of you.

(Update failed )YAY!!!!!! Tech folks worked overtime!!!!. Update!!! They fixed the app!!! One happy camper here now!! Love my Channel 6!!!!! I missed my newsfeed, ain’t gonna lie. 🙌 Five Star now!!! ( I went to check the news this morning but the app was updating. When I came back later, EACH TIME still no connection. I have turned off my phone to reboot to see if that would help, no.... I have deleted and reinstalled, no...... Alas, good-bye app. )

WATE Weather Team. Absolutely the best!!!!!

Awful update. I used to love this app. But after the update, the weather is portion is just awful. I never write reviews but this was how I got all of my news and weather information. I had to download another weather app, please go back to before the update!

Super Easy to Use. This is a great local news app. It is easy to navigate and is regularly updated with breaking news. They send a ton of news alerts. The recent updates were nice improvements.

WATE. Good app. Especially like when it gives audible alerts. Keeps East TN up to date on news and weather

NOT A SPORTS FAN. I am continually receiving notifications about sports games that I have ABSOLUTELY no interest in. I am interested in the space program but I see no notifications about that. If some settings provision is not provided to remove these sports notifications before the next Knoxville games then I will remove this app from my iPhone.

Average user. This latest version is horrible!!! The app looks great, but it's almost impossible to scroll between stories; have to go back to home page to find the next news to read. Since they change the navigation of the home page, the titles of the stories are often too short to describe the contents. The old version was ok but this version is worst. Please fix it.

Crash. Crashing

Notifications. The app is great however I see 18 notifications that I looked at. Please fix.

Brian B.. Out of the 3 local news apps for Knoxville this one has to rank the lowest partly due to the insignificant push notifications that are clearly sent from someone who thinks everyone in Knoxville is concerned with the status of football players who have been arrested and kicked off the team. Deleted today with no intent of reinstalling.

Tn girl. This is a great app. It has more information on it than other local news station apps and is easy to navigate.

Great app. Best overall news app for news and weather.

Can't live without app!. This is a great app that delivers the most up to day news, weather, traffic and sports for Knoxville! Go Vols!

App closes. If you try to use the app for longer than 15 mins it will close while you are trying to read. If you want us to use the app you need to work on it. It has several problems. Closes all the time.

Great app. It's nice to have the news at your fingertips. Push notifications are a plus.

This app is a time saver!. I love being able to get news and weather quickly in one place. But the traffic notifications have saved me the headache of being stuck somewhere more than once. So glad I have this on my phone!

Fantastic. The app matches the quality of the station itself. Way to go Channel 6 team!

New to Knoxville. This is a fantastic way to keep updated with news/traffic around town and a great way to hear about cool local places. Great app!

Love local news. This is great to be able to get my local news whenever or wherever I want too.

Manager. Clean, easy to navigate, up-to-date. WATE rocks the news an weather!

All over the place. When I want to get out of an article I have to go all the way to the top then I have to wait for the back button to appear. When I get back to the list of articles they appear to shuffle and I can't remember the next one I was wanting to read. I just want to move on to the next one and not see the shuffle. This app is irritating but the news content is great. Please fix!

Knoxville TN News - Easy, Efficient, Accurate & Timely!. Love this app for staying on top of the news while on the go!

6News. I like the way the app keeps me updated with current news and weather, but many times I have tried to watch the video of a news report and the commercial at the beginning gets stuck, therefore you can't watch the news video.

Amazing app. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome!. What a "lifesaver"! Terrific and timely as well as accurate information all throughout the day! I have never enjoyed an app like this as I have WATE. From all levels of news, sports, weather and traffic...wow! Keep up the wonderful job! You have a loyal fan in me! Thanks!

Best News App in Knoxville. The design of the app is great and it's easy to use. WATE 6 On Your Side has the best local news coverage in Knoxville. You can get push alerts for breaking stories & watch videos. Plus, you can easily share stories via email, Twitter and Facebook through the app.

Story names truncated. The newest update lines stories up side by side instead of top to bottom. This truncates the story title. Also scrolling through stories is more difficult as my thumb blocks view as I scroll. Before with stacked stories I could easily scroll with my thumb on the screen edge and preview the stories.

Notifications. It's really annoying that the app shows I have 25 notifications on it but can't make them go away. This wasn't an issue before the new update. Other than that the app works great.

Good App. Well designed, easy to catch up on news & weather

Kicks me out. I got a message about weather aware then beings me to it then quits it quits trying to watch life stream radar many other things

Finally!. A good local news app! I love the push alerts and watching newscasts online.

Gator. Extremely useful, the best available application for every need.

Best News App in Knoxville!!. Beats the other local stations apps hands down in ease of use!! They also do a great job updating the news to keep it current.

Well designed and easy to use.. Great design makes information easy to find.

Great App!. Up to the minute news, weather and sports. Concise with links to more detailed articles. No crashing. Only one I use.

6 app. Great app, many glitches on videos, latest update has too many ads/pop ups. Why change something that isn't broken? :(

Great news app!. I enjoy the updates from WATE6 news . Very informative.

Fantastic app. Has all the info you could need from the site, well-organized, and not a lot of junk or ads. I like this app better than WBIR's.

Best in Knoxville. The WATE app is great at keeping me up to date on both local news & breaking news stories

Glad you're here. I'm thankful for all you do to keep me up to date, the app, however, has a tendency to hang when you try to watch a video. As a matter of fact, I still have yet to be able to watch the video of the photographer from your sister station helping a motorist. There are also way too many stories that stay up for days and days without changing. I sometimes wonder what I might be missing, if the stories stay the same for so long. All in all its good, and I appreciate it.

Love the live video. I have used this app many times when away from home or the power is out to get live information.

Love the redesign. The new app interface is slick. Very responsive. I especially like the breaking news notifications that I'm now getting. Nice work!

Great news app. Best news app for Knoxville. WATE has always been my news source

Useless after update. This was my favorite weather and news app in Knoxville; however, after updating, I can't even keep it open long enough to read an article. I have now switched to the WBIR app just for the simple fact that this one does not work. I am using it on an iPhone 6, maybe it works on other devices. 😟

Knoxvegas dweller. Great app! Simple to navigate. Some video stall issues could be corrected, but most apps are worse!

Great News App!. Not only is it easy to use, but it's constantly updated with new information.

This "new and improved" version is even worse than the last "new and improved" one. There is no scrolling. Jumping is a better description. This used to be a great app but is now just annoying. Apparently the developer doesn't have an iPhone. I would be embarrassed to release something this bad.

Disruptive pop up ads. McDonald's pop up ad is annoying and causes video to restart or moves the article from where you're reading. They occur often! These pop up ads need to be eliminated.

Happy. I am SO HAPPY that you fixed the notification on this. I have reloaded the app now and am very pleased with everything else.

Used to be great..... Come on! The red notifications will NOT go away... There is nothing to "tap" like there used to be. Was an awesome app- great updates and notifications... But seeing RED is annoying!

Nice app.. Easy to use with all the info on the news.

WATE 6 News App. Awesome and informative appliation! Highly recommend if you want to stay up to date with local news and weather. Thanks!
