WHSV News Reviews

WHSVNews crashes frequently. It did so even while I was submitted my review. Also, lately it’s been opening with an ad for a political campaign. Every time I open WHSVNews , it’s an ad for the same candidate. While I understand that this is how paid advertising works, the optics of it says, “biased” to me.

App crashes frequently. Pulling up videos from news headlines is glitchy and I never know which one is the main video. Way too many notifications about traffic and crashes on I-81.

Headlines on news reports read as opinions of news, as do the articles. I need information - the facts reported of all the things that transpire not just those that perpetuate a particular point of view. I will form my own opinion. If I choose to read opinions about the news of the day, I will read actual opinion pieces. I want this to be more than weather and interstate accident reports.

I constantly receive notices saying that there’s “breaking news,” yet when I go to WHSVNews there’s nowhere that shows this element! Only in the past day have I seen it — when I could get in at all since it’s always kicking me out. Please hire some programmers who can get the job done!

Advertisement placement constantly blocks viewing the article and often makes it unreadable. Large image placed underneath the text and doesn't move when scrolling through the article. Constantly occurs regardless of article type being viewed.

You’ll get a little notification counter on your icon, but when you click the icon to open WHSVNews there is absolutely NOTHING to indicate what the counter was issued for. Even their instructional videos don’t match WHSVNews . Very poor management/service when it could be so useful to the area.

Starts with Sprint ad. The content is mostly Augusta, Staunton and Waynesboro. See accidents and police activity on John Wayland Hwy from Harrisonburg to Bridgewater but never anything on news or newspaper. Most articles say you are staying with story and will update but rarely do also usually refer to web site for more information. Might as well go there as use app but it's not much better.

I’ve enjoyed this WHSV app for years, but recently if I don’t allow access to my location, it won’t open. Having location services turned off hasn’t crippled any other app, just this one. It’s too bad.

App is okay. Wish you had an option to enable traffic alerts or check traffic cams at certain mm. Skycams are useless.

I wish I had never updated WHSVNews. I can no longer get Weather for Bridgewater. Not everyone cares just about Harrisonburg Weather. WHSVNews is so much more difficult to navigate now. The news has become so one sided that it isn't even worth reading. I'll be removing WHSVNews from my phone.

All the pictures leading to an article are not even related to the article itself. For example they showed a pile of puppies totaling 20 puppies. However the article was about 8 baby foxes. They showed a cell phone with some kind of unique cord protection and the article was about paying $3 for malware protection. FLASE ADVERTISING!!!!!!!!!!!

Used WHSVNews for a few years. Wrote a review that was in line with what many others had observed and echoed what they wrote. Review lasted a couple of days before it was yanked, then I simply could not even open WHSVNews afterwards. I don’t miss WHSVNews one bit, but; I wonder how long THIS review will survive?

Worked fine until the last update. Now it is worthless. Can not get into WHSVNews . Piece of crap. Initial advertisement that you have to view cannot be closed so that you can actually view anything

Was working fine until recently. Now after deleting and reloading WHSVNews it work’s for a day or two then just get the spinning wheel. Will not open anymore. Have been using it on iPhone 6 Plus iOS 14.4.1.

Why do you never report accidents in Shenandoah County on I81? I'm sitting in traffic now and there was no alert. But if it were near Tom's Brooke you'd report it.

I need to get to the hospital where my mom has been taken so yeah, I'm a little upset!!!!

WHSVNews is great for up-to-the-hour local news.

The latest update has caused WHSVNews the crash frequently.

I like the weather part of WHSVNews but the news needs to be updated more often. I just checked my app and tried all the usual update techniques and I'm still looking at 24 hours + old news. Is there really nothing happening in the past 24 hours?

Do I really have to have the location turned on for WHSVNews too work on my iPad? That is annoying.

A Joe Biden advertisement runs each time I open WHSVNews . I will be deleting WHSVNews and using one from another news source.

Before COVID, this was my GOTO news source. App worked great, able to tailor news to just what I wanted. Much better NEWS than local newspapers. Guess click revenue is down, because I now get alerts every couple of hours for the same news story. Nothing new, just the same story “Governor ...” 4 or 5 times per day. Stopped using any alerts, will checkin when I think of it.
