Cleveland News from WKYC Reviews

by Junger123456

Your app is currently crap. I almost exclusively watch kyc at home and ClevelandNewsfromWKYC used to be good. It had easy to navigate categories for local, world, National, weather, radar, etc. Now I get an alert or headline that pushes to the phone and ClevelandNewsfromWKYC doesn’t link to the headline and brings up the useless kyc app home page. The homepage is some kind of infinite scroll so good luck trying to find something. I only have ClevelandNewsfromWKYC because kyc pushes decent headlines. Dial ClevelandNewsfromWKYC interface back a couple years please. I really do not understand why web developers and designers have to “modernize” a site so often. You had something that was effective. Stop trying to one up the person next to you and keep the site practical. Concentrate on app speeds or faster info push. If you have that then paint the background a different color or jump on the “dark mode” band wagon but please give ClevelandNewsfromWKYC more direct navigation.

EDITED: ClevelandNewsfromWKYC has a live stream function which is often nonfunctional.
The live stream is unavailable when a newscast is delayed, and is oftentimes inaccessible for regularly scheduled broadcasts.
Often news live stream unavailable when the president has one of his covid 19 briefings is on.
If a live stream is available, it is almost difficult to access, almost as though TEGNA, WKYC’s parent company, doesn’t want you to watch a live stream of their newscasts.
Additionally, live stream pixelates and live audio stutters making newscast unwatchable and unlistenable.

Aside from ClevelandNewsfromWKYC not being very refined and clumsy, the main issue is the crash associated with live video feeds. With the corona virus global paralysis we are now faced with a reliance on the news networks to keep us informed and educated. When the live feeds are available and you activate the sound (extremely important) ClevelandNewsfromWKYC crashes every single time. It happens to my phone along with others, so clearly there is a bug to be fixed. So please fix this very important issue.

News stories on WKYC 3 News are “littered” with come-on teaser ads which seem antithetical not only to the longstanding traditions of this station, but more so to their current slogan/mantra “what matters.” I realize that Tegna is a corporation in the business of making money, however it seems that their revenue stream from ads like “America’s number one gut doctor begs you to throw out this vegetable” and “casinos don’t want you to do this, but can’t stop you” are the fodder of investigative journalism that Channel 3 used to cover.

Their app is very repetitive and only shows brief snippets of stories that they carry on their broadcasts. The stories tend to be old and aren’t updated.

I don’t usually mind updates and the changes that come with progress, but this new app is clunky and very hard to navigate. Scrolling down to the next article means scrolling past 3 ads every time! Also after reading a report or watching a video clicking the back arrow sends me all the way back to the top instead of where I left off meaning I have to keep scrolling down and clicking.

I really like to read news from Cleveland, but I do wish I could stop receiving alerts about high school sports or any of the professional sports teams. I have the alerts turned off for sports and I still get notifications about games or scores. I really don’t care about this and wish that this wasn’t sent as a notification as “top stories”.

I have always preferred WKYC for their school closing listing, but for this entire winter season this page has had an error saying, "This page is missing, but we have our best investigative reporters on it." I'm hoping these investigative reporters get to the bottom of this mystery and the page gets restored soon!

You covered Akron news is terrible . When you post something it will stay up there for a week - 2 weeks depending if you get something big to replace it. Akron is more like a after thought to Cleveland news 1st . Just like Cleveland there are things happening in the Akron/Canton areas daily

I understand ads are needed to pay for quality work. And I don’t mind them before the video starts. But to show another ad just because you want to expand the video to full screen? And if you expand to soon you get taken to a video game page!? You then go back and start the whole process over again! Has this been brought up before?

Understand you can’t live stream during 5am hour. Would be nice if you could. Or perhaps maybe a behind the scenes live stream during that hour could be interesting. Other than that WKYC is doing an outstanding job in their morning program.

by Raullee

Generally this is a great local station for News & entertainment programs if it’s maintained as really Now needed for our local & National TV programs. Thanks please workout conflicts with our current AT&T U-verse before it becomes unavailable to us. RL

I’ve not had any problems with ClevelandNewsfromWKYC thus far. As I have MS/Multiple Sclerois. I often fall asleep during the news, etc but I stay up to date with the use of ClevelandNewsfromWKYC. I live in Lake county whereas my family live in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties so this helps me quite a bit with local, worldwide and news specific to where my adult children live! For my purpose I rated it “5” stars.

Use to be decent. Now it play weather on live broadcast. Please fix it. It would be nice to watch the weekend news in the morning, evening and night. Why can’t this be? I like this channel except for thisb

I moved away and still hope to return. I have watched this News Station nearly all my 55 years in CLE! I hope to see the local news each night. Sometimes it is not on especially on the weekends. I miss you all so much!! Keep on sending out this Station on ClevelandNewsfromWKYC . I love to keep up with my home town. Ever since I began at BWU in 1962! Eileen Spicer

We were one of the “lucky” customers of Direct TV who have now chosen to eliminate Channel 3. It has been over a week! I enjoy watching The Today Show each morning. The WKYC app is a wonderful fill-in. Thanks!

My husband & I enjoy watching WKYC for many reasons. All the on air personalities are the best! They present the news, sports, weather, health & other information in a professional manner. One of the qualities that I enjoy most is the true caring & mutual respect they have for one another. Indeed, they seem like my “friends”.

I’m glad for my WKYC news app. It gives me local news right in my hand. No need to turn on tv with two remotes and scroll to the channel when i need to know updated info.

by SurvivorMaggie

I have breaking news turned on and get updates when something happens. Love ClevelandNewsfromWKYC! Use it for local news. It has been great at tracking the COVID numbers also.

by Misspima

Hate the new app. I used the other app daily to track my long commute to work. I loved the real time maps and access to traffic cams so I knew what I was in for during my drive. Now it just links you to Waze! I already tried Waze and hated it! Why do I need in two places. Please put back the original traffic maps!!! Also, too many ads and not as easy as they say to navigate to what you want.

ClevelandNewsfromWKYC usually works fine; occasionally it won't come up with pictures and it's just a script and I have to re-open it. Unfortunately WKY sea is leaning more and more left wing so I don't typically read their viewpoints anymore

by Kelly 54

The only thing that is annoying is when I pick a story to read and want to back where I left off it takes you to the top of the stories instead of where I left off. ANNOYING!

Recently moved to Texas from Cuyahoga Falls, ClevelandNewsfromWKYC allows me to keep up to date with everything that I consider important co ncerning my home state.
ClevelandNewsfromWKYC makes me feel like I’m still part of NEO . This is a great tool that would not have been available not so many years ago. Great job. Very much appreciated.

Although I now live in Florida, I’m always checking the weather, team standings, new restaurants, general news, etc. Cleveland will always be a part of me.

by Cuworker

Too hard to find news on the main website. I liked the old format much better.

by Klingfan

Without question, WKYC offers the most accurate forecast of all local stations. Furthermore, it is done in a scientific, calm manner. Other local stations go for high drama and fear and lose accuracy in the process.

Late breaking news disseminated quickly and kept up to date!
