16 NEWS NOW Reviews

I have had 16NEWSNOW for several years. Unfortunately they have added misleading advertisements that look very similar to their stories recently. I do not recommend this to anyone that is looking for factual news anymore because the ads can be misleading. It is sad that so many of our “news” sources are more interested in $$$ than actually informing us about what’s going on. I understand that profits are important, but these ads really look like their real stories and are extremely misleading.

Why does your staff continue to post news stories that are not fact check or hell, just edited like a professional news organization. WNDU HAS TURN INTO A FAKE NEWS, conservative hating,AP regurgitation, yellow press organization.

I used to like WNDU, then I learned how they treat the people in their articles! Total disrespect for the recently deceased, accused etc.

Not to mention how all of their political articles are overly emotional and biased making them atrocious.

Ignoring all that, 16NEWSNOW itself is quite buggy. It often crash while launching, the weather radar struggles pretty hard and the ads they run are the kinds of ads you’d expect to either give your computer a virus or rip you off.

Was looking for a story on the big red bar. Did not find this section user friendly. It would take forever to find what you’re looking for. No search area available on the entire site. That would make the site so much more user friendly. No back < button to be found. I was really shocked at the lack of ease of use. I’m going to take my own action and DELETE!!!!!

I have used 16NEWSNOW for many years but it was hacked a week or so ago, a yellow text warning popped up with instructions... I simply shut it down and then deleted 16NEWSNOW . After a few days I reinstalled it but it was broken! Deleted again and won’t be reinstalling it.

Downloaded 16NEWSNOW . All it does is show the loading icon. This has been going on for months. Sent a email to them. Had no response.

After they did up grades last week I can’t open 16NEWSNOW . I have to keep deleting and renown loading 16NEWSNOW .

There needs to be a clear definition of what a breaking news alert entails. A sting of vandalism in Warsaw, a traffic jam in Shipshewana, a opening of a new Restaurant opening, or someone dyeing in South Bend should not classify as a breaking news. Getting 15 alerts each day over these types of things are extremely frustrating.

All of a sudden, 16NEWSNOW wants me to turn on the location for my phone. When I ignore the request, 16NEWSNOW just sits there trying to load. Why do you need my location?

Worse app out there. Live streaming only plays commercials during news cast. Same commercials over and over and over again! Wasted 30 minutes of my time! You lost this viewer for good!

Used to love 16NEWSNOW . But starting today on my iPhone XS it crashes and won’t even open. No idea what happened but suddenly it’s useless. I want it back please. Please fix.

16NEWSNOW is for reading historical news, you get push notifications but when you click on it 16NEWSNOW opens to just the regular news in 16NEWSNOW not the story (which won't be in 16NEWSNOW for a few hrs) and the push notification will have vanished.
A few weeks ago I lost power I was searching for any updates and searched 16NEWSNOW and the face book page but nothing. So I sent them a msg telling them I had no power and the area I was in. I got a response a few hrs later stating "we know" smh. Story wasn't in there app till the following day.
Why have a means to spread and report news quickly but never use it??????

I wish you would reinstate text alerts for closings as 16NEWSNOW does NOT alert me when my daughter's school delays. I signed up for WSBT's text alerts since you don't do them.

I hate the pop up political vote for something before I can get to the news

Visually I prefer 16NEWSNOW to other local news apps, and it used to function really good. Occasionally, 16NEWSNOW crashes for no reason.

A more recent glitch, the badge on 16NEWSNOW shows a new notification, so I open the application. Every time I open 16NEWSNOW (and I mean EVERY time), the (notification) bell icon is missing front the top bar. The only way to navigate to the list of notifications is via the bell.

So I navigate to the settings, and choose “Enable Notification Inbox”, and then go to bell icon and read notifications. The next time I receive a badge notification... you guessed it... repeat. So VERY annoying!

It seems the last three weeks 16NEWSNOW hasn’t opened. Deleted and reinstalled and it works fine for a couple days.

Usually pretty good, but every once in a while, it will close out whenever you click on anything which is very irritating (putting it nicely)!! And also it gives update breaking news notifications, but doesn’t show up on 16NEWSNOW till hours later.

I’m surprised your picture of the FBI most wanted is not centered so it’s easy to read.
Someone took the picture from a side...
It’s difficult to make out the picture or the writing of the poster.
I would expect more from 16

Good app needs more sports & entertainment Needs south bend Mishawaka school closings need all sports..

One of my favourite features to look at for the weather.

News is not updated or current. No sense in looking up news from days ago.

16NEWSNOW always crashes. Also the advertisements are disguised as news stories and may trick a lot of users.

I loved using 16NEWSNOW on my iPhone SE but it doesn’t work for my new phone. I don’t know if that is what everyone else is experiencing but it is not loading for me.

App works about as well as their station automation.... not that great. Crashes often on launch. New update is worse.

Every time I open 16NEWSNOW and tap on an article, 16NEWSNOW just closes!!! 👎
