WPXI Channel 11 Reviews

I read your news articles daily. They are well written. Keeping up on events around Pittsburg and current events in other areas of United States is my top priority. Also World Events are important to keep up with.
I also enjoy hearing about my Pittsburgh Teams, Steelers, Penguins and the Pirates! Win or loose they be are my favorites!
It is also nice to keep track of entertainment events around Pittsburgh.

Solid local news app. better than other ones for the area. However, the number of push notifications it sends, if you turn those on, is crazy. Literally everything you can imagine, from traffic and weather, national and local news. It must send over 15 a day, and there appears to be no way to customize if you only want a small subset of these delivered. Having to swipe through the number of notifications daily is quite the chore.

This was once the best local news app. Not sure what you did but now there’s constant problems. You brought back the back button but it still goes back to the top and you need to scroll to where you were. And now it crashes continually. I guess I need to use the other local news apps.

WPXIChannel11 is way better than KDKA. It doesn’t make you go all the way back to the beginning after you read a story and then you have to find the correct place. And they update their stories KDKA had some of them on for months then go away and in a few days come back . Dump KDKA and get channel 11 news .

After most articles, there is a survey. Some of the questions are of a political nature. Unfortunately, if you give too many replies that reflect a conservative viewpoint, they sabotage your ability to reply in the future by cutting off the bottom half of every question... thereby skewing the surveys true accuracy by falsely over-representing liberal popularity.

I don’t know what it is about the WPXI morning news at 5:00, except I’ve been addicted to it for well over 10 years. It’s the newscasters, it’s Tricia with the traffic, Scott, Katherine, Danielle, Ryan, Gordon, Jessica and sorry if I missed anyone. I enjoy they’re news presentations. I record the 5 & 6 o’clock news every day in case I miss it.

I’m so tired of seeing so much worthless junk day after day. WPXIChannel11 was never great, but was never this bad. How many different sections do you need?? Certain ones I actually find offensive, due to their content. And, how long are you going to keep out of date articles on here? IUP, fern hollow…to name a couple. I’ve been seeing some of these articles for months. If there aren’t any actual news stories to cover, just have less articles!

I always watch Wpxi news. It’s the first station I turn to when for news and weather. Especially if there is breaking news and weather. there is a weather emergency or I need information fast. I have both the news and weather apps! Great job

WPXI app does a good job of notifications and breaking news stories, local stories, national stories. However it does not have a “search” feature.

The main news stories are east to assess, but no links work elsewhere. For Ex.: When reading a article, there are usually ~5 links at the end of the article & just above that survey that’s on each page. None of those links ever work. Frustrating to try and find where they are located if I do want to read them. Sometimes I just end up logging out if WPXIChannel11 and Googling the title.

For years, this used to be my favorite news app. Good local news, and national news push notifications that sometimes came before national news apps. Now every notification is vague clickbait trying to get you to open it and make their daily active user stats better. If nothing changes I will soon delete WPXIChannel11 for a conpetitor. I am very frustrated with WPXIChannel11’s push notification quality and now firmly do not recommend it.

I love that I can live thousands of miles from home and whenever I’m homesick or simply want to know how beautiful Pittsburgh winters are I turn on channel 11 news and skim till my hearts content

Love being able to keep in touch with the happenings in the Burgh! Even though I live in Florida, Pittsburgh is always in your heart and Channel 11 is my way of keeping it there!

I’ll get a notification about a story and click on it and it won’t take me to the story. It’s like it’s not updated yet. If I wait several seconds then the story is there when you tap the notification.

Every time you go to watch a video you got a watch commercial first. I understand that’s how you make your money, but I’d rather watch the video first then put a commercial on afterwards. Most of the time I go to watch a video I don’t even click on it anymore.

It seems like the same stories are left on for days at a time with nothing else to put up.

Great news and weather. Would like to see more weather videos of all the weather details not just tune in to the T V channel 11. Thank you!

WPXIChannel11 is tough to like. One second you are reading an article, the next second the screen goes white or black and you must close WPXIChannel11 and start all over again. This pattern repeats itself nearly every time WPXIChannel11 is used, so if you find a story that interests you...READ IT QUICKLY!!

News outlets should start creating a stand alone app for Covid news. I got WPXIChannel11 because every other local app was dominated by C19 alerts. I get it, the media is obsessed but I’m looking for an app that gives me real local news and traffic alerts. Until the overlords take their fangs out of media I’m going to have to without local news. Get a grip.

Love when I get a notification for a story I'm interest in, and after clicking on the notification to read more, being directed to an unrelated place and having to search for it. And the WPXI Now in the menu plays commercials over the news or interrupts a news story all together. I mean right in the middle of the live video!!!

Had WPXIChannel11 for a couple yrs, but deleted because it kept freezing on me.

You guys send way too many, not at all important notifications. Most things aren’t breaking news, but you wouldn’t know by reading your notifications. I don’t need a push notification letting me know your AM news is on early due to snow (and 1-3” at that!), or what story is next at 5. If I wanted to watch tv, I wouldn’t need your app. I’ll get my news somewhere else.

There is always a news story that I want to read and when you open it up, the print is super small. You can’t make it bigger and it is to small to read.
There are also a lot of grammar errors In the news articles or missing or extra words.

The WPXI news app is amazing it gives me all the news I need in one place! It provides me with all the alerts I need and let’s me know whats happening and when it is happening! It is an amazing app!

I allowed breaking news notifications, However I get notifications about thins like.. “Free Avocados, take part in weight loss study” Sorry this is NOT breaking news.. they always send notifications 5 minutes before their newscast starts, and it’s usually not breaking news.. just self promotion garbage

WPXIChannel11 was great in terms of quality and flow (aside from the ‘back button’). Unfortunately the developers decided to work with a well-disguised biased news outlet. Unfortunately I have to delete WPXIChannel11 and discontinue trust in channel 11. What a shame.

The notifications are less than informative. They give no information about the breaking news instead requiring the user to click into WPXIChannel11 and read the story for any valuable info. Deleting.

I love channel 11 news but WPXIChannel11 freezes every time I use it and I have to reopen it only to freeze again. Hopefully you get this fixed!

More often than not the news is not current. A news app should have the latest up to date news at a glance. WPXIChannel11 is always old news.

Crashes every time i open app and read an article. Happens all the time. Please fix asap or I’m going to a different local news app. Update getting rid of your app. Crashes ALL THE TIME

Just added it and WPXIChannel11 looks like a good start. However, the "more" button on the top is too close to the time and temp, causing you to miss the button and open up the weather by mistake. Frustrating! I would like to see them add traffic coverage in the next version too.

WPXIChannel11 used to worked no matter where I was. Now it freezes up every time I use it.
I will no longer use it.

Big fan of ch 11, but WPXIChannel11 isn’t worth your time. Don’t bother till they fix it.

Keeps crashing
