App functions well but strong liberal bias and more opinion than fact presented in articles

I use WLKYNews for a quick view of local news and WLKYNews itself functions better than most of the other local news station, which is the reason for 2 stars instead of one. However the obvious liberal bias presented as fact makes it difficult for me to even read the articles. Additionally when I have emailed pointing out inconsistencies in their reporting and asking for the other side to be presented, I have been completely ignored. As the American public, we have allowed news stations to spin factual news and subtly influence at least two generations. Our family is educating our children to notice these biases. I strongly urge everyone who watches and reads the news to be on high alert to how these writers, reporters, and editors are many times not presenting fact but opinion.

Generally great.

Wish traffic info was available. Ads jump over the night time silence and wake up my husband. Don’t mind the ads and usually look at them unless there is sound at night. Then I have to skin the whole story. I do like the weather and radar being available first. When I want weather fast I come here. And I like the more local news separate from the national. Apparently I’ve done the survey before as it won’t accept any of my four usual nicknames. Well, it just rejected 2manynicknames.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

I frequently use this news app daily. Since the lasted update it’s been a disaster. The screen freezes with a blank page when you tap onto an article and you have to exit out of WLKYNews , close WLKYNews , and then reopen app to be able to read the news article. It’s frustrating!!! This is the 1st time ever that I’ve had issues with WLKYNews. Fix the issue or go back to previous past upgrade since this latest upgrade is worthless.

Great ... when it works!

I get notifications for breaking news and live reporting which is great. But it’s a coin toss if I will get to actually view the live video once I click on the notification. WLKYNews freezes a lot. Additionally- what’s most odd is, after it freezes, I have to close out WLKYNews . Once I go back into WLKYNews , I am unable to find the live video from the notification. Definitely frustrating at times.

I TRUST WLKY

With giving the news correct and prompt. Keep putting the news out there and along with others I would like to have LESS ADS.
The ads are too long at the beginning of news briefs. I understand the ads help pay for this luxury but a little shorter would be great.
Get me to the story and then the ad.
KEEP UP THE GREAT REPORTING.

The Video Ads that can’t be paused are annoying

I would be more apt to use WLKYNews if every time I clicked on a notification I did not have a video ad coming up. Nobody wants to be in a public place and their phone starts blasting some ad. I would prefer to read the story and have a choice to play the video related to the story. Good news coverage though.

WLKY news app

Only complaint really is when my iPhone is locked and a notification appears if I open WLKYNews to read more on whatever news item the notification is for the story isn’t showing.

1star review

If ever given the chance, you need to report the actual news, other than a totally bias opinions you give now. It is wrong on how bias you give the news. You use to be a little discreet, but those days are over. This household does not watch any news cast anymore from ANY local channels. And will continue until after the election, I figure after that, you will maybe ,finally be convinced you being the media is the real enemy of today.

Great app with great content

The WLKY app is great if I need to know what’s going on and I don’t have a lot of time but it’s also great because it keeps me appraised of everything that I need to know about from traffic to weather to our communities. Upcoming events recent happenings it’s all here thanks for doing a great job

It has problems

App started locking up after a update over a month ago. Thought it could be my phone but after getting a new phone found the problem is with WLKYNews . When you click on a story it takes you to a white page that will not load. Just deleted WLKYNews and will choice from the other 3 local news app.

Stutters on my iPhone XS Max!

Good app, but it gets annoying when you scroll down through multiple news stories and it STUTTERS, instead of scrolling smoothly. I have iOS 12.1.3 and I only notice the stuttering on this particular app. Please fix it or I may seek out something different. Also, quit being so BIASED in your news stories (especially your newspaper)... it reads like propaganda!


By


Frustrating

Every time I either read an article or watch the video, it always brings me back to the top of app. I’m tired and frustrated always having to re-scroll down to where I was. Fix that please. And yes I agree you guys have way toooo many ads. I get it your sponsors want their air time they paid for. But the unnecessary scrolling has got to go!

Review of WLKY app

Ads a beginning of each story last too long and you can’t get out of them early. Especially bad as they are mostly the same 3 or 4 and boring! Also every time I open up my computer, it always says an update is ready. Only media app that does that.


By


Too many adds

I know adds pay for the service but please don’t repeat them over and over.
I do read some DURING THE Day! I turn phone off at nite, all the alerts and add wake me up and I’m a light sleeper.
Love the news at my fingertips, but too many alerts!
Not Snoring

Advertisements

I love seeing the news. It would be
fantastic if the advertisement didn’t cover the news content.( It is sometimes difficult filling in the middle of the story). Thanks

Decent app but needs work

I like WLKYNews to be able to check local news and weather. The problem with WLKYNews is that when you click on a news story to read and then go back out it always takes you back to the top of the feed which is so frustrating!


By


Weather app being deleted

I'm so disappointed and upset that y'all have decided to get rid of the weather app and making us switch to the news app that has weather included. If I wanted to look at the news I'd turn it on. I just wanted the weather only. So I had to switch to wave 3 because they have just a weather app! Please bring back the weather only app

The Only Channel

I have been watching you guys since I was sitting on my grandmas lap. Thank you for all your years of service.

Latest update

I find that WLKY has the latest first. There reports are correct and easier to read than other news channels. The ads are long but that is my only criticism!

WLKY APP

The most aggregating thing is when your reading an article and close to the end the story is cut off by the advertisement. 😠 Also wondering if these articles ever get proofread. I have come across quiet a few mistakes

Sadielea

There are way too many commercials. I do like the updates with new news. My weather warnings don’t work little I thought they would. Over all, I do like WLKYNews
