13News Now - WVEC Reviews

I like this station the best but 13NewsNow is too annoying to use. I get an alert on something then go to 13NewsNow to find the story. I click the story and there is a video that starts but without sound. I stupidly click the video to get sound only to be redirected to a 30 sec very loud annoying ad for a game. Once that ends the video plays but it is not the news alert but something older related to that topic. So after a few minutes of frustration I still never got to see information from the alert.

13 News is my go to app for all things news. They update their app constantly to deliver accurate news and breaking news. Their weather section is also very accurate, the best forecasters in our area. Finally, their app is very easy to navigate and use.

This is a terrible app. The best thing that works for it are the notifications it sends to my phone with a one line description of what is goi no on. Actually opening 13NewsNow and navigating it is a nightmare.

Ads are the worst! They have to slowly load into every page. You can try to scroll while they load in but you will just end up clicking one while it is still loading, thus sending you to the ad’s page.

I love Channel 13 News. But 13NewsNow should be trashed and remade from scratch.

In my house, when “turn on the TV, I want to watch the news” is stated, all know that the only news team we watch is WVEC. I like checking 13NewsNow to confirm what others are telling me is “news.”

Keep up the great work!

I’d loved to see the video ads taken off your videos. I’m not interested ad videos in your news videos when I pull up to watch weather videos or updates on the Coronaviruss . I’m sure I’m not the only one that finds it very annoying having to watch one of them before I can watch the videos that are posted by channel. Ad videos neeed to go.

The other app was easier to use. This one also comes and goes! Each time I go to it 13NewsNow wants me to go to the new one despite the fact that I had already done that! Please work out the bugs ASAP.

The breaking news alerts and updates keeps me motivated and interested in reading the posted articles! I’m always interested in the weather alerts!

The channel 13 local news crew is the best. They are accurate, personable and seem to really all get along.

Keep it up!

What a horrible new change of the old app. Where is the traffic map I could quickly go to to check for the obstructions on the way to work? I tap on there traffic at all I get our video news stories of what’s going on, not the traffic blockages that I need to know. The weather portion doesn’t give me a quick review of what’s going to happen today which is what I need to know as I go out the door. I’m deleting 13NewsNow it’s horrible

You’re new website is not good. There are too many pop ups and ads that block the news and menu items. I have sporadically been able to vote in daily polls. I liked your old site 100 times better!!!!

Change is usually good but the newest WVEC app revision wasn’t for the best. Seems like everything is all over the place and less organized now. I used to be able to quickly navigate to the traffic map (which is now completely different and doesn’t have the quick access jam cams). These changes have me deleting 13NewsNow and finding a new traffic conditions and news source.

What happened to the user friendly app that this is replacing. I could easily find traffic and weather. Now I have to search for them each time I need them. I personally liked the old traffic map rather than using Waze. I like the quick view of I64 when we get ready to travel. Think 13NewsNow needs more work.

Thank you for keeping us up to date with the latest news, traffic, and weather.

Channel 13 has always been #1 in my book for news and weather. Thank you Channel 13 for keeping us informed.

Gives us the facts of local & National news & always guides us through the storms. Thank you for your honest reporting.

I enjoy the mix of well reported local/national news and the comradely among the DayBreak personalities. I understand why WVEC has been the nearly perpetual recipient of the Murrow Award, the best is always rewarded.

It allows me to get the latest updates on weather and current events while I am unable to watch on the TV.

Ugh! I was a big fan of the old app, but can’t find jack on this one. Time to explore other stations’ apps. Channel 13 is my favorite news channel, but not 13NewsNow.

I absolutely love having the 13 News Now App at my disposal. I am a big fan of the news team and the heartfelt stories they broadcast everyday.

Thank God foe the 13News app!
Now that sports are back on, my husband hogs the family tv 24hrs and I often miss the live airings. With 13NewsNow , I can grab a cup of coffee and quietly watch it on my phone without interruption.

I like feeling up to date with what’s happening.

I just deleted the entire News app. It is difficult to use and Frustrating....totally not user friendly. I tried to return to the old app but it won’t let me. Why make a change when everything was working fine?

Anytime I get a notification, when I click on it, 13NewsNow will open and display a page saying I’m not connected to the internet (when I am) and the refresh button does nothing...

Love all the news casters but sad so many have left

I love their news, weather & updates.

I agree with the other user. This version is NOT user friendly.

You have to go through so much junk to find traffic weather and, heaven forbid, you are trying to find the opinion poll.

Better luck next time cause this time you missed the ball.

The new app is way to busy and difficult to find news stories. They seem more concerned about getting an advertisement out instead of the news.

I enjoyed the old format, especially the divisions by city. The new format seems to be more adds and less content. I’m so disappointed. I’m currently switching to wavy hoping to get more news. I’ve had the 13 news app since it’s launch:(

It seems harder to navigate than the last app but it looks great.

Outstanding
