Issues I have with this app

I have several issues with WITNNews. The first one being that WITN only uses Associated Press as their source their non-local news, which also includes their bias and opinions from AP. The ratio of non-local to local news seems way out of proportion. You could simply install the AP app instead for most of the content WITN provides here. My biggest gripe is the fact they have removed the ability to post/read comments within their app. Even though my IQ dropped a little each time when I could read them. However, it was always entertaining.

Forecast

The weather forecast needs to read the date instead of “day” and “night”.

App won’t open

App keeps crashing and won’t open

Biased news

Biased news. Alot of negative comments seems a bit one sided to what they think.

Warsaw

I’ve been watching WITN for many many years ..... that said I am soooo disappointed with y’all to the point I will never ever again turn to your news an I’m removing your app ‼️I am from Warsaw ‼️ I am not commenting on the WH insident but I am commenting on YOUR report of it 😡 you chose one small part of all the video of it to show the public OVER AN OVER AN OVER 😡 our mayor an law enforcement are good people ❣️ but after this week of your news seems you had rather pick the side of thugs ‼️😡‼️ so long you belong in that same file 🙋🏻

Too much spam here

WITN news flashes appear to be just hooks to get applicants to click on sensational sponsored ads. Thinking about deleting WITNNews

Doesn’t work after update today

App keeps crashing. Please fix.

App won’t even open

App will only load and never open, when u try to email them, it says it’s spam.

App doesn’t work at all

After updating WITNNews , it won’t load at all. Uninstalling unless this is fixed.

Stupid app

As soon as you look at a story on WITNNews it crashes after you go out of the story. Y’all need to get this fixed right, I’m deleting it for good and going to WNCT TV APP

Unstable and Boring

WITNNews like to crash a lot. Especially if you want to play a video of a story. Additionally WITN has discontinued the comments section on it's stories. Ashame cause it was a staple of their app.

Local news

This is the worst news app. They do not update their information. Especially during difficult times. We have a crisis in the country right now (the corona virus) and they can’t even keep the facts updated. It is better to google corona virus update in NC because they can’t keep up to date.

Stupid ads

I don't know what's going on but every time I go to your site I get an ad that I cannot get rid of. I want to see the news all I see is an ad. That makes me not want to visit your site and it certainly does not make me want to check out whatever's being advertised. I don't know what's going on but that needs to go away.

Weather

Why does your weather forecast contradict itself? The daily forecast on WITNNews is different than the 8 day forecast and they are on the same page. How can you forecast a 20% rain chance for a given day and you simply scroll down to see a 80% chance on your 8 day forecast for the same day.

They don’t post church closings for weather

Apparently, I thought this was a decent app until I learned that they are not posting closings for the local religious organizations. If you are going to post closings for businesses, schools, and community organizations, you should also post closings for religious organizations when the weather is inclement. Yes, I am talking about churches and synagogues. I will be deleting the WITN app and using the WNCT app from now on. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Love the app but it’s so aggravating

Every time I tap news it kicks WITNNews off! Still does the same thing. About ready to drop it..aka delete it!!

The full page ads are ridiculous

The full page ads that pop up in spanish with no x to be able to close out are ridiculous. This has been my favorite local news app but if I can’t get to it what’s the point?

Home Page Priority

Main page had direct links to headlines, weather, local, etc. That functionality is now gone. The headlines page is now jumbled with no clear order ( breaking, chronological, etc).

Please go back to the previous format (but with correct spelling)

I don’t like the format WITN just changed to on June 19. I thought I was reading something on Facebook and it was difficult to read.

WITN app

So much better than that other tv station in Greenville. Very fresh and informative

Use to love App!

When it froze up I deleted and reinstalled..... now will not open at all!!

Needs work

My mom relies on your app and it freezes everyday. Please fix this. It's a pain.

Not user friendly

We have a second home in eastern North Carolina so I downloaded WITNNews to keep up with news and weather. The weather reports are for my home town not the vacation area and I receive a notification, I don't know what it is for.

What happened to the widget?

This is a good local news app, and I like the simple display of the weather. It had a good widget, too, but that has stopped working. Fix that, and this is a definite 4 and maybe a 5 star.

WITN

WITNNews crashes when I tap on it and sometimes it works and sometimes it don't when it works sometimes the screen will glitch

Thank you!!!

I have been waiting for this update!!!!! Great app no what the headlines stay put when returning from article!!!

Someone needs to tell Stacia not to smoke pot with her friends before going on air. Un necessary laughter at in appropriate times. Very rude.
