Disappointing

I used to enjoy watching WCTV but seeing articles of Police supposedly abusing someone- No I don’t think so! We are better than that! Shame on you for even covering this! These are these kinds of things that have America in this shape! Deleting App now! Ron Desantis should really teach you how to be- Florida isn’t on this petty level

Incredibly hard to use

I am trying to get local news from Knoxville TN, it keeps defaulting to someplace in Florida. Cannot find a place to change that, if it is there it is well hidden. Very annoying.

Current update

Your current update crashed WCTVEyewitnessNews . WCTVEyewitnessNews will not open

Needs work

The colors for the weather are impossible to see. I can't see the rain chances because of the blue font.

Pretty bad app

Whoever made WCTVEyewitnessNews did a really bad job. I’ll only use the WTXL app. Terrible app, keeps crashing, loads weirdly, and I can get the same news elsewhere, with better spelling!

New updated version

Usually if something is not broken it’s not a good idea to fix it. I am not a fan of the updated version.

Annoying Ads

Multiple annoying ads, including one-sided political ads, open before you can get into WCTVEyewitnessNews .

Weather

The weather forecast on the Internet is always wrong.

DISGUSTING

WCTV has become a horrible news outlet. All they do anymore is COMPLETELY mirror everything reported on CNN. Do they have any actual investigative reporters anymore? If they do, they apparently care nothing about reporting the truth!

Recorded Newscasts on VUit missing

I am not always able to watch a live broadcast and would catch on news programs missed by watching Recorded Newscasts on VUit.

They are no longer available. Please fix or provide an explanation

To many ads!

I will be deleting WCTVEyewitnessNews. Every time I open WCTVEyewitnessNews , a game app advertisement opens first! It takes several seconds before you are able to close the ad and finally get to the news.

Ads

WCTVEyewitnessNews has been taken over with ads. Not to mention you can’t even open it without a 15 second video ad playing. Come on.... I get you need to make money but using WCTVEyewitnessNews is now an unpleasant experience.

"Videos" causes app to crash

Clicking on "videos" causes app to crash every time.

Ads show up over text in stories...

For a while now, the Ads show over the text, making it very hard at best, and mostly impossible to read a story. Why hasn’t this been corrected already?

Understaffed?

They never seem to have any news updates on weekends or holidays. If I had another online source of local news, I would delete them.

There is also an embarrassing lack of editing and competence in the English language.

Ads blocking stories

Recently, the ads on the pages are appearing in the middle of paragraphs so I’m not able to read part of the story. Can we fix this please? I’m having to depend on WTXL for news since I can read through the articles on there. Any help would be great. Thanks

Breaking News

I’ve turned off sports notifications. Results of a ball game is NOT breaking news. Any who cares already knows.

No search capabilities

Why oh why in 2020 can’t a new station byline a website with an actual functioning search mechanism?
Drives me freakin nuts and no excuse for it.

Wisconsin

Ha ha, as of today WCTVEyewitnessNews is giving me local news from Wisconsin 🤣

Panda Pop

Sitting through 30 second Panda Pop ad is an insult to the dignity of your station.

Not sure what happened

With the latest iOS 9 update for Apple, I can no longer view live video streams or view old video. It's been like this for several weeks and thought it would have been fixed by now. WCTVEyewitnessNews also needs a refresher look. Looks very dated and generic. But I wish the video portion would be fixed so I can view live steaming and past videos.

Bug issues with the newest version of the WCTV app.

The newest updated version of the WCTV mobile app is broken. After updating my iPhone 6+ last night I have been totally unable to view any video links within WCTVEyewitnessNews . I tried to view both the weather videos as well as the news. The only thing that came up while loading was a black screen with the WCTV header at the top and at the bottom a⏸ button on the left side and ↖️↘️ on the right side.
I haven't had the first problem with my mobile app until last night. My son also has the same phone that I have and is also having the same issues.
Many Thanks for your help in this matter.

Too many ads!

Very irritating game ads pop up before WCTVEyewitnessNews opens. Hard to get rid of. About to delete!!

Not as advertised

They advertised that you would be able to listen to the broadcast live, portraying that you could listen in your car. Well I guess you can, but with the audio come video which is not too bright of an idea if one is driving... There needs to be an option for live stream audio ONLY and I bet their attorneys would like that better as well... Besides I don't want to burn the video data vs. audio data which I assume is a lot less. If they add this it needs to continue playing if my phone locks, like a scanner app I have does... I was actually looking forward to the old 87.7 days of being able to listen to the news on the way home!!!

Too many ads

Too many ads, easy to confuse with news stories

Updates Don't Always Show

I Like WCTVEyewitnessNews but sometimes when it shows you've got a update and you go to check it out it's not there
