VNL News Reviews

by PickupsAreNotTrucks

VNLNews is worse and worse every year. It crashes constantly upon launch. It usually take 2-3 times to launch. Then once it launches, you’re forced to dodge ads to even get to the news. You scumbags, this isn’t a free game from the internet, I shouldn’t have to read all kinds of nonsense just to get to the news. To top it off, at one point or another, they added ads at the bottom of the news headlines that look exactly like the headlines! You’ll be scrolling along and click on an ad thinking it’s headlines!

Please, please have someone with a basic understanding of grammar and word usage edit your online stories. With the cloud of fake-news hovering over the media today it would help if your stories did not have missing words on a regular basis.
Let the janitor proof-read them. You might be surprised.

VNLNews never seems to work on my iPhone 8S+. It will lock up the news article (if I can even get into the article) I like reading local news, but can’t on VNLNews . Fire the person developing and maintaining VNLNews and hire a real person.

Content is not always current and fresh, no need to know about Sundays approaching storm on Monday. Crashes often And interface could use some work. VNLNews is an object lesson on how to not make an app.

A lot of times and it cuts out and sends me to my home screen and now those ads that pop I suppose they’re ok I can close em easily except it seems for the awful Joe Biden one I’m force to watch that crap when President Trump’s ad comes I can close when I’d rather watch his ad why are the two so different? VNL you were once my favorite bit lately your new has been biased and that breaks my heart .. please stick to the true news as you used to

You get a news alert. You click on the alert to read it. You’re forced to watch an ad for some game. VNLNews crashes. You go back in and have to watch a second ad for some game. Bottom of the screen is crawling with clickbait.

VNLNews has not worked for a couple of weeks. The news doesn't load and it's disappointing it has not been fixed. What's the plan? I miss the breaking news and reading the news especially when I'm out of town.

Seriously the worst app ever!! It immediately closes when you open. I can’t access any of the articles. Their Facebook doesn’t doesn’t even have a link for the articles that are on VNLNews . Waste of time. Do not get!!

This news outlet constantly posts their opinion and posts unsubstantiated claims in nearly every article they post. They also are rarely correct in their news reports. Save yourself the mental anguish and don’t get VNLNews .

I just want a news app that doesn’t bombard me with useless notifications. I had to mute it because of how many I was receiving. I swear I get at least 100 notifications everyday that show up on VNLNews . Used to be a app that I use daily now I had to delete it.

This was a good app for a long time. Recently it was decided that ads were more important than users I guess. Advertising pops up at the outset and won’t allow you to see the news, the only reason I chose VNLNews!
Sometimes the ads have a hidden escape nearly impossible to find so you can move on. Grrrrrr. I hate that and I quit this stupid app

Unless there is severe weather I do not need to receive several notifications daily. I don’t mind a daily update but when I receive several a day telling me the same message it is very annoying. Please send notices only when necessary if it is not just a daily forecast. Thank you

I don’t feel I need to be alerted to a snowmobile crash. I thought the breaking news alerts on my phone were for actual emergencies- not just every time a story breaks!

by Toolcat45

Please get rid of the annoying ads at startup or at least alloy us to opt out of them.

Bad wether in area and I went looking for newscast in the video portion, for updated information. Nothings been loaded for 2 days. Don’t keep promoting an app that isn’t kept up.

I don’t have sports notifications enabled, but I get news about the Bison, Vikings, and Carson Wentz all the time. Those stories shouldn’t count as “breaking news” or “trending” and should only appear if “Sports” notifications are enabled.

VNLNews is great and easy to use but way too many notifications are sent, just minutes apart, that say the same exact thing. I've considered turning my notifications off for VNLNews but I don't want to miss something important.

I can't read any news when I get to the home page I press news I can't read anything it's just white.😞

VNLNews works great other than I have to delete and re-install VNLNews for the temperature to update on the widget in notification center.

by Brandon Vegas

Would be great if there was a stream that interrupted the LNN stuff whenever you went live on any channel. Ch 4s feed always has loading or stopping issues.

by Buffalo58011

Sick of all the ads you see before you can actually see VNLNews . How much money do you really need ??? It use to be great till all the ads started to show up. Might just delete VNLNews way to many apps better

I have deleted it, re-downloaded it, still doesn’t work. Crashes immediately after opening. Worked fine for me until this last update.

It would be nice it things were actually in chronological order
