Ratings and Reviews
Good for news and weather but......
I’m a big fan of WVLT weather app and so decided to give the news app a try. Its very good at keeping me up to date on those things I am interested in, mainly local and national news and weather conditions. I do have a problem with some of the ads on their app as many of them seem to advertise one thing but when you click on the ad you’re redirected to a site that has nothing to do with what was advertised or even worse is just another advertisement. I also have an issue with the notification system. I set it up for news, weather and closings but continually get notifications for things I’m not interested in. I know I live in Vol country but I’m not a sports fan and have no interest in being bugged by all the notifications on what’s going on with the football team and their players. It was these two issues that caused my rating to be only three stars. Hopefully the two issues I mentioned will be corrected.
Latest update doesn’t work at all
Too many adds normally and the notifications that are sent out are written in a click bait style. I don’t appreciate that. I do appreciate the news stations that will actually give you some quick info in the notification rather than just asking a question in it to get you to click. Also, after the latest update, the app will not even open.
App Malfunctions - Useless - Makes Station Look 2nd Rate
Update: Now when I click on a notification, the app opens with an ad that blackens the entire screen but does not load, so it’s necessary to restart the app and then I’m at the main menu and there’s no sign of the story I wanted to read. What an embarrassment to the WVLT news station.
I get notifications for stories that, when I tap them, either take me to an old, un-updated story with no new details as claimed in the notification or just the main menu with no story matching the notification in sight. I don’t have time for something that wastes my time. There are too many news apps that don’t malfunction to put up with this one. This makes the entire news station look second rate.
