Typically, when reporting a president’s approval rating, Wgn would say something like Joe Biden‘s approval rating was 40%… Today in reporting Trump‘s approval rating you said a Trump has a 60% disapproval rating… instead of approval rating you call Trump’s a disapproval rating… Don’t you think that’s grossly slanted to favor the left… Very disappointing

I am shocked and amazed that WGN aired a recruitment ad for ICE during the 9:00 news broadcast on Sep 23. I sincerely hope you will pull this ad which is an offense to so many viewer in this market.

On Monday 6 o’clock news, mica matera said that Donald Trump stated he did not have the privilege of going to Epstein‘s Island… The story itself had nothing like that at all. WN should do a public distraction of that statement, which is very much misleading.

Why don’t you look into the cloud seating that was being done in Texas on July 2 and July 3 right before those floods. Why don’t you report on that the truth on what happened down in Texas instead of just showing that there was a flood and all these people died. Why don’t you show people what is truly going on investigate cloud seating and chemtrails please. Otherwise the next time that happens it could be right here in our town.

News with little detail and lots of dead dogs

2022-06-02

by Suegee G

So- I don’t know how to process this. I respond to the wgn request for feedback on their site and each time I respond that I would like to see fewer dead dog stories, but each day, more appear. Not more news about the people who have created this environment of hate and, well, dead dogs.

I understand that I might be the only one telling them this but really. I don’t open up the news to find out how a dog dies today. I already donate to animal shelters, etc. I can’t believe that a local news feed just happens upon a story of a dog getting tossed out of a car in all ports of America, put in an oven etc. they must be seeking this garbage out.

I deleted the app. It’s not news, it’s that worst person you know in the lunchroom who is forever talking about horrific things that no one wants to here. I am walking out of that room. Walking out of the WGN ‘news room.’ They can tell their horror stories to whomever, it’s not going to be me. I’ll be reading news from now on. Give money to organizations that help abused animals, do not give to WGN by signing into their app.

Too glitchy to bother anymore

I’ve had the app for a long time. Even if the way it’s set up was never great, at least it worked smoothly and I was able to see more local news than the other Chicago news apps. But now it’s gotten to be impossible to use. It constantly crashes. And when I can actually click on a news story, it’s slow to open and then freezes so you can’t see more than the first few lines and the Continue Reading can’t be selected because, of course, it’s frozen. So the app is now useless. I end up having to use the abc7chicago app to see news.

App Has Only Gotten Worse

2022-06-16

by Brianbobcat

This app has only gotten worse over time. Clicking a news notification almost never pulls up the actual story. Breaking news and videos play ads before the stream starts and then usually there’s a problem. And almost EVERY SINGLE TIME the video finally does play, there’s no audio. NOTHING I do fixes it. Turning my mute switch off doesn’t help. I have no Bluetooth, AirPlay, AirPods, or any other audio device connected. Quitting the app just results in another ad and no audio. What is the point to even having an app if it’s going to be this terrible?
