WIBW News Reviews

by Mynaim

I gave WIBWNews a 1 star simply because I can occasionally start an article without having to re-open WIBWNews .. otherwise, it shows a definite lack of consideration for the client reader, but full concern for the advertising client that gets their ad re-seen every re-opening...?! Disregard the client readers that refuse to read further due to such persistent stress!! They’ll grow a disdain for the advertising abuse and boycott the advertisers and also the broadcast provider of abusive ads.... Good Day without irrational, repetitive, mind hiccuping commercials.. why not show the articles without ads and have a section entirely devoted to ads that the viewer may search through by choice for interesting and creative ads for genuine interests or entertainment but Leave the Reader an Undisturbed Reading without breaking the chain of thought and interest..

The initial full screen advertisement is obtrusive and forces you to close it to see anything. More ads on every page. I realize local news sources need revenue but maybe I despise having to have WIBWNews just to get weather. If there is a severe storm, I quickly want to access the weather page but your ads get in the way.

Always crashing sometimes doesn’t even open so you can see what is going on

Doesn’t open, all other Apps work flawlessly. The problem is in your App. Are you going to fix it or not ?

Not sure what has happened but WIBWNews won’t open. Uninstalled and reinstalled…no luck. I get “breaking news alerts” but can’t get to them to read them. I have to go to KSNT or CJONLINE….I would love for your app to work again.

The ads are a little much. It seems that most of the ads are spam ads, "new rule for drivers in Kansas!" Give me a break. Can we at least get real ads!

The videos rarely load properly. And they all come with an advertisement video before they play. Get better, WIBW!

Ever since the last update, WIBWNews crashes every time I open it. I have tried to delete and redownload. Please fix, this is so annoying and frustrating. As a local citizen, I want and deserve easy access to the news.

Newest update doesn’t load. I deleted and tried a new downloaded version and it won’t load either. If you click on WIBWNews it either dumps you or spins.

I kept getting an error message every time I tried to open from an alert. I deleted WIBWNews and downloaded fresh, but now it won’t open at all. I’m hoping this is just a network error and not still an app problem. It used to work great and I really liked it, but I haven’t been able to access WIBW for weeks now. I am on an iPhone 6SPlus iOS 12.3.1.

Why does WIBWNews lock up when you are trying to get it? Maybe you don’t want to answer the question so you don’t take any of my nicknames

The ads are annoying but I’m more alarmed by the misleading clickbait articles scattered in the feed that look identical to legitimate local stories. I only use WIBWNews when I absolutely have to.

I use to love WIBWNews , but recently WIBWNews will only load the adds and nothing else will show. When you close WIBWNews and go back into it, the problem still isn’t resolved. I had WIBWNews set up to send me notifications and when I click on the notification to see the full article WIBWNews will pop up then close out. I unfortunately had to switch to the KSNT app.

Miss having the weather alert texts. Was sad to see you get rid of that. On WIBWNews would like to be able to get more county options for weather alerts instead of just 5. I am a paranoid person when it comes to storms so I like to see what's going on around me. Before you took the alerts away I was able to get alerts for more counties with it. I am signed up to get weather alerts now from WIBWNews and I get nothing. Bring back the text alerts!

Lately WIBWNews opens, shows an add forever, then goes to a black screen. Hopefully deleting it and reinstalling will fix the problem.

I use it frequently to see what’s going on in the local area. No major complaints. Only recommendation would be to get rid of the advertisement that pops up when opening WIBWNews . The picture of that man and woman is annoying!

Two things

Do not like having to close out the advertisement before I can see the news alert.
Very frustrating.

WIBWNews works really well and I like the setup of it. However there are many times when I can't even get it to open because it immediately crashes when I click on it. I've never found a pattern for when that will happen, but it is rather annoying

by Khanna2010

Getting past the first ad doesn’t always happen. I sometimes have to re-open he app 2-3 times before it will stay open. It will frequently flash open then close again. I’ve also noticed since the update that the text in the articles overlaps the ads within the article making it very hard to read. Grammar and spelling is also a little choppy at times. I really do understand the need to get the information out fast, but spell check only takes a few extra seconds. Also, things are not “involved” in flames, they are “engulfed”.

I live in an area of limited choices for tv providers and spotty signal from the antenna. An option to cast from my phone to my TV for the live newscasts would make me happy :-)

I like WIBWNews because if there is ever an event going on or breaking news they let notify me imminently. DOWNLOAD IF LIVE IN NORTHEAST KANSAS way better than ksnt news

by Wildfire9791

I have to close WIBWNews completely 2 to 4 times before I will be able to read the articles. Constantly freezing. Please fix!!!

Video ads pop up from bottom of screen every few seconds.

While I work in the WIBW viewing area, I don’t live there. I really just need weather and traffic, but there is no traffic option. Ugh.
