14 NEWS WFIE Reviews

by Jlcrosser

The gray broadcasting company is perfectly named if you enjoy watching a grayed out screen with silence this is 14NEWSWFIE for you! There doesn’t seem to be any concerted effort to sell airtime to local businesses. You will occasionally be forced to view gambling based apps for slots and games that require you to spend money to play. There are a few P essays lately for Covid stating that Christian Covid patients believe God has created a cure and have gotten vaccinated yay! You will receive short and I mean really short snippets of news and teasers of weather when you watch the live option. It says if they decided how little can we supply before people just stop using 14NEWSWFIE altogether. When you are able to watch actual news it’s supplied by very young personalities who do not have an adult’s range of vocabulary, pronunciation or the context to use the chosen words properly. Even my seven year old granddaughter can spot their mistakes. In all fairness I will have to say some of them seem more comfortable on air now they no longer resemble a constipated cat sitting in the litter box while trying to project a serious demeanor.

Please tell me you have a team working on improving 14NEWSWFIE. The most recent version is really bad. Slow to load or fails to load. Have to search for headline news as that’s now not the landing page. Regardless of where you navigate, first stop is always a full page ad. The black border around the tile is ugly. Previous versions of 14NEWSWFIE were EAY better. Take us back to your previous app if you can’t get the current version any better.

I have totally deleted 14NEWSWFIE . Keeps showing many news alerts but cannot get to them. Try to read the news it stops for an add then sends me back. Not good. Will use again if improvement are made. Tried on several iPhones does same thing. Friends have deleted or stopped using 14NEWSWFIE .

Not happy with the updated app. Hard to see what’s new and every few hours I have 20-40 new notifications. I have adjusted the notification settings and no change. Also the screen refreshes or something when trying to read an article and I have to start from the beginning. There are wayyy to many ads. I love 14 news but not at all happy with the updated app

A previous update had asked to “personalized” tracking for the user. I didn’t want that so I replied NO. This lasted version wants the user to continue with “personalized” tracking and states that the user can change their settings later. There are a lot of other options for local news. 14NEWSWFIE was a great one for local news, not at this moment. Fix your app.

Please bring the old app back. This be app is absolutely awful. I can no longer rotate 14NEWSWFIE to make it larger and easier to read. Not everyone has a phone the size of a iPad. Full of more advertisements than ever making it difficult to even get to the news. Stories repeated multiple times in the feed. USELESS!!!

After you wait a minute for the video to load then watch a 30 second commercial you are treated to a vague 20 second teaser for the weather. I think 14NEWSWFIE is geared towards selling local advertising and getting people to click back often to get their “view” numbers up. You are constantly provided with uneventful notifications a few times a day that try to tease you into checking 14NEWSWFIE , again an attempt to get you to in and provide
them with the traffic to better sell advertising. There are much better weather apps out there that are faster and less bulky. When I get a clickbait notification from wife the first thing I do is check a real weather app like intellicast to see what’s really up.

14NEWSWFIE is extremely unreliable. It stops working for weeks on end for no apparent reason. When this happens, it will not load past the 14 news logo page (although the pop-up ad still works without fail). I have tried closing, deleting and redownloading 14NEWSWFIE , as well as restarting my phone. Nothing brings it back until it magically works again one day. I hate the 44 news app, but that’s what I have to use because I cannot depend on yours.

This newest update seems to be copying the other local news app, Eyewitness News 25. The reason I used 14News was because I liked their platform over Eyewitness 25. The way this new update repeats the same story published above it is frustrating and makes me just close 14NEWSWFIE and go somewhere else for news. I’ve noticed I spend way less time on 14NEWSWFIE now. Now that I think about it, maybe that’s a good thing...

by Sam Winterman

I want to look at the radar, news, or weather information, NOT constant pop-up ads. I understand that that is how revenue is generated for providing a free app, but when the entire screen gets covered up by an advertisement, it gets annoying and dismissed immediately without my even looking to see what the ad is for (usually vehicles). I think the annoying banners at the bottom are enough.

I liked the previous app much better! 14NEWSWFIE has small font making it hard to read on my Apple 7, changing the font to large in settings didn’t seem to make a difference and I don’t use 14NEWSWFIE nearly as much as previously.

by Dsaw72

This last major overhaul is awful. Can’t turn sound off on alerts, so had to turn alerts off all together (which alerts about local news was probably the best feature before). And now almost all the new is videos; I want to read news, not watch videos.

by Klaviermann76

This was my go to app for local news and this most recent update is making me consider deleting 14NEWSWFIE completely. The news notifications do not open the story from the notification. It usually drops me in 14NEWSWFIE and the story doesn’t come up and then I can’t find it again. Just today two times I tapped the notification to read and watch a story. It opened the story, played an ad and then sent me back to the Home Screen of 14NEWSWFIE where I could no longer find the story. It also seems like 14NEWSWFIE is filled with a lot more ads than before. I can tolerate ads (especially with a free service) when 14NEWSWFIE is functioning well. Looking forward to an update in the future to make this more stable or I will have to stop using it.

While the new app consolidates the news, weather, River City Weekend, it’s missing important weather information & makes finding things cumbersome.
We are under a heat advisory but the new app doesn’t address this information. I still have the old app and use it more often.

by Fux It

I like 14NEWSWFIE but news and weather alerts frequently link to a completely unrelated story. If you are going to a send a alert test the link first. I use other apps that don’t have this issue.

I’m a disabled veteran and don’t drive anymore. I don’t like things such as Face Book or Twitter.
Between your app and the radio, I feel like I’m in the loop again. TY

Our family watch 14 as our primary news and weather channel which is second to none! You guys are wonderful!

As for the News “app”, since the format changed to the larger bolder print, etc. in the last few months it has definitely lost the appeal and we seldom look at it anymore. The earlier format that was used perhaps a year or so ago and going back was great to easily scan the topics and read those of interest.

Thank you for asking!

This does not give Evansville news or at least difficult to find. I am sorry I updated.

Great edition of 14NEWSWFIE. I’m so glad that there is finally a good streaming feature, such that I can just click on it and see the newscasts for the day. I can’t always arrange to see the news when it airs on TV. This is a GREAT feature.

This is amazing it helps me track down strorms like a hurricane it helped me TWICE during a tornado AND a hurricane I known it’s crazy but it is get 14NEWSWFIE if you wanna live or survive okay now do not trust the people who make bad comments on this ITS GOOD SO GET IT NOW

by Jim's Apple Account

Liked it better before the update. Ads continue to pop up as I scroll. It’s hard to determine what is sponsored content and what is real news, the font is the same. I use 14NEWSWFIE less and less as the week progresses. Seems like the same story is on here for several days with no updated content.

by MtV Bob

I don’t like the new web page format. The articles are too big. Each article fills up my screen on my iPad. Before you could see several articles at a time and easily scroll down to the one you wanted to read. Still a great news source.

by EricInOwensboro

The last two updates in a row have caused 14NEWSWFIE to crash before opening making it useless. Try testing your updates, testing them better, or hiring better techs to fix or update your app in the future. This and all the commercials are making me just want to give up 14NEWSWFIE and just use the website instead.

by Robinsville

Can’t watch a video without a 15-30 second ad...I understand that’s their bread and butter, but for crying out loud, 1 ad every video? Why not 1 every 5-10 videos? Worse than trying to watch TV these days. A lot of the videos are shorter than the ads!

by Stupid 14

Jeez, every time I click on a video those stupid car ads pop up, over and over again. The worst part is that they’re screaming loud. I hate that about your app, as do many people!!! It’s old stories, updated every 8-10 or more hours. I use your app because it the only one available but it’s terrible ....

by Grandy75

The new format is focused on too little news compared to the space devoted to commercial messaging. There is also repetition
There is a lot of new that is not reported. Why not an equal portion of positive news as well as sensational and negative?

by JudyII

Most of the time when I get an alert on my phone or iPad and attempt to read it....it isn’t there. I have to scroll through all the news, and most times, I still can’t find it. The site isn’t user friendly at all.

by Evansville Native

I understand Ads are a great source of revenue. But, please, can we not have a 30 second Ad every time I want to play a 15 second video?

by Benjamin060281

14NEWSWFIE has always been suburb. The developer is always updating 14NEWSWFIE . As far as apps go this is the best one in the tri-state and very dependable.
