Atlanta News from 11Alive Reviews

by MichaelsTunes

I have reinstalled AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive multiple times. It gets to where an ad for some Bomber podcast comes up and blocks the screen and you can’t clear it off. Nothing works. Useless. Was great before they covered it with ads and made it not work. Fix it.

Update- I’ve tried and tried to get this to work. Nothing helps. I get updates on stories and then try to view them and nothing happens. I load AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive on its own and it crashes. It used to be awesome but something is way wrong with it now.

The new app is an improvement visually, but in terms of functionality and performance, it’s a mess. It seems more thought was paid to design rather than usage. Takes too much scrolling to find stories compared to previous version. Near impossible to get to previous location in app without having to start over. Developers thought they had created an intuitive design, but they failed. Previous version, despite its lack of visual “pizzazz”, was far more user friendly.

They have completely ruined AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive with the recent changes. I hate the new pictures, time to load anything, trying to find anything now. It is the worst changes ever made to an app. They need to change the layout back to everything loading right away on the first page. Now I have to wait for things to load and then search for everything. They ruined the weather portion and the radar too. Doesn’t load right or takes forever to actually open. You can’t always close the ads to read the stories. Don’t know what happened to the traffic. They are trying to get you to spend more time on AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive , and it is making me not want to use it all. So backfire. I will be looking for a new news app. Hate everything about this new app. Absolutely the worst app ever!!!!!!

This is the worst performing apps on both my iPhone and iPad. I will get an alert about a story which I would be interested in reading and click the link. It takes FOREVER to load. Once it finally loads, it makes me click once or twice again to get to whatever meager content there is they alerted me to in the first place. Constant pop up ads. Even if you close them, a blank box will remain where the ad would have displayed. It continues overlaps the text of the article you want to read. Sometimes the audio of a video will start to play but the video itself is nowhere to be found. Just awful!

The worst of all is that every couple of seconds AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive now launches AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive Store for a piece of junk app no one will ever want. Which app it brings up seems random. AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive is now showing ads you have to swipe to remove immediately upon launching AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive . They also appear at random times. The news articles it has often now have links to read it. This is not a news app, it’s an ad app. Time to uninstall and look for something else. Yet they advertise on tv that they listen and give us the local news we want. I’m calling BS on that.

Look, I get it...ads are the only way to make money off of a free app. But each time you open an article, it takes forever to load, and about 15 seconds later an ad the size of the whole screen covers the article and you have to scroll all the way up to exit. Many times the whole app freezes and the article disappears. Why can’t you just have the ads at the bottom like everyone else? If you’re looking for local Atlanta news, get the WSB app. Same news, just no impossible ad system. Please fix!

It's been months since the new apps were released and there have been no improvements. Aesthetically the update is nice, but functionally, it's a nightmare. Every time I open a push notification AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive crashes and I can't find the story again; the old version of AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive had a notification bell where you could find all the stories you got notifications for, but now they just disappear. It's frustrating and incredibly disappointing. I used a number of Tegna's apps to read up on the news but the update made it a pain.

Having an app to alert me to local news is great, but the delivery of said news is awful. Video plays automatically and difficult to stop it, really inconvenient when in a place where noise is an issue. Screens don’t load correctly with ads often obscuring what you are trying to read. You have to go to several different sites within AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive to get what you’re looking for. Sometimes clicking on a news alert takes you to an entirely different article. Please redesign this with experts in web design!!!

Too many notifications that aren't news, let alone news worthy of a notification... they've now started sending what are essentially commercials for their new 11pm reformatted newscast as notifications. When in AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive there are a lot of ads that pop up. And if you click on most story links you're taken to another page where you have to click again to actually get to the story. With all these things, I don't end up using app much unless I have time to waste or am looking for a specific story.

It says to leave feedback in AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive settings but there is no place to do that so maybe they will read this. This is the best news app but there is a bug that started when they redesigned sever updates ago. When I look at the list of notifications and find an article I want to read a lot of times it will bring up a totally different article. It doesn’t happen on the latest 3-4 notifications but ones a little earlier. I also have the same problem within AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive after I click on the bell to see the notifications list. Also it’s so annoying to start reading the article and then and as pops up me after Xing out it returns to the top of the article.

Adds popping up and literally preventing the article being read seems counterintuitive. Takes away from the reading experience. There is also no way to share an article with a friend which is surprising. AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive is also crashing a lot. Can’t be browsing on it for more than 5 minutes it seems before it crashes and 2 of those minutes are adds!

This is at 11 alive news itself. I just want to say what a terrible job has been done with the Governors race. The most recent notification I have right now is (Abrams pulls 8,245 votes in just one week!) Never was there an optimistic headline for kemp. This type of bias is what covered the whole election. I have no idea what the kemp campaign did because you only covered Abrams and her “Positive” attitude!

I use this everyday to be informed. I wish they would fix the issue with when I open AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive and go to watch something there is no sound I have to press the play button and then an ad comes on. Every single time it is extremely annoying. And then I can scroll down to look as another video and the previous videos will start playing as I am watching.

by Jacksonandtucker

Liked this site much better before. New white background format or template doesn’t enhance readability. Also, if there aren’t enough stories, there are multiple duplicate stories on local and top stories. Oftentimes, the wrong picture is with a story or the exact same story is posted 3 times at the bottom of the page. Disappointed!

I’ve made 11Alive my place for morning news and weather for its professionalism, attitude and neat choreography when not in Covid Mode 😁. And nothing personal, but when I hear a reporter read the phrase “in connection to” My head spins a little 🤪. Doing a bit of Google research, I have yet to find a conclusion other than “in connection with” being the correct way to say that phrase.

by Crane Chick

Great content. However I woke up at 8am and there was no 11Alive as a live stream. That was disappointing. I happen to be in an area, that the only channel I get is ION or the home shopping network. I look forward to your broadcast daily. Maybe... network error. Could you look into fixing that, please

11Alive has a way of balancing the news that presents the fun news with the news you need to know. I rarely miss Morning Rush because it feels like family. The personalities gel well even though each anchor person has their own perspective. I feel like the in studio team works well with the on location team. I truly miss some of the people that aren’t there when I started watching in 2008, but 11alive always knows how to weave new personnel in seamlessly.

Great job!!! Delivering news couldn’t be easy,,, but somehow they may it appear that way.

What’s the deal with all these ads popping up? I can’t even read the news for the ads blocking them. There is no way to get rid of them. 11 Alive used to be my most watched local news station. No more. It’s impossible to read the articles and watch the videos.

by Clayabuelabub

I basically only Watch 11 for local news. I find that the broadcasts - morning, noon, and evening- are not full of hype and hysteria nor full of fluff. The tone is serious and helpful, some humor in the mornings which I love. I also find the information presented is balanced and the intent is not to alarm. I appreciate that. And, so I downloaded AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive which I now depend on. Thank you.

by Haelsrednuas

The format has changed for the worse. Many of the notifications don’t inform, just give silly leads to entice you to open AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive , where you get slammed with multiple ads for apps. Try to scroll thru the story and the page jumps and you find you’ve just clicked on another ad. Too much advertising between paragraphs of the article. This used to be my main source for news on my cell phone.

11 Alive has been my Only News Station & will continue to be my Only News Media forever More!
I love the real time interaction with the Public & that you live the example for all Georgian’s, Not just Preach it. You do not talk at as Us, but Rather with Us & for that I’m grateful!
'Up Late' was a brilliant idea for a News Format, No other News Media does this, it’s still the same old status quo. Keep Up the Amazing Work!! Facts Not Fear does lessen Anxiety, I know well because I’m totally Alone without help or transportation & It calms me without bombarding me with severe Fear propaganda. Straight Up Facts, COVID19 is No Joke!! AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive is AMAZING!! It is how I get the all the updates on anything! I love love the COVID19 notifications & Severe Weather Alerts to my phone!

Keep up the Amazing Job in a Troubled World! It brings Peace & Calm to Most!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Peace

I enjoy the features of AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive, but there are several technical issues I have encountered using it. The first issue I have is opening AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive . AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive tends to crash and I have to close and reopen it a few times until I can use it. Sometimes when I am reading a news article I get extremely poor loading times and/or AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive opens the wrong article. Also, I have encountered a problem with AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive crashing as I check the notifications section. Overall, extremely poor quality.

by Pastor Barrett

Great app. Overall, it is a good app. But like everything else, there are areas that could be better designed for mobile information. But thank you for the update and for the weather alerts that I am able to get

by Fjainatl

I use AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive quite a bit as I travel around quite a bit , I can keep up with all local news when I am on the road and I’m actually alerted to certain events going on happening by AtlantaNewsfrom11Alive … Works great for me!
