Great App!
Great App!
Great Job WIS!
For about the last week or so every time I start reading an article the text just disappears. There’s nothing on my screen but the WIS logo at the top and an ad at the bottom! Please explain!
The app used to function great. But as of recently, the quality of the app has degraded. Halfway through reading an article the article goes full white as if it is trying to load an ad. I’m unable to rewind videos resulting in having to restart the video all together to rehear anything. The in ad apps have also gotten progressively worse making you watch a video before even being able to access the articles on occasion. In its current state, I recommend people to use the WIS website over the app as the app is to unreliable and frustrating to use.
No more ads.
Been great for 50YRS
Almost entirely ads. Could not get daily or weekly forecast. Very frustrating.
Bogged down in forced ads. Often no sound with videos. Gives the appearance of fake news. Totally ridiculous amounts of time to wait for “real news”. WIS went below par after losing solid journalism and Joe Pinner, Ted handy, and 1990’s tv personalities.
BEWARE! The app now launches video and ADS with SOUND!!! There’s nowhere in the settings to disable sound or the auto start in video.
This is only local news I get which I read on phone. Mostly good However the ap article about ‘Trump winning Michigan…’ was very very biased against him. Nothing positive, very negative.
I have the notification settings in this app set to just give Breaking News yet I continue to get prompts to watch the news broadcast. Today I got “Watch Live - WIS shares some of the top stories around the state over the weekend”. I’m not sure how that qualifies as Breaking News. I want to know when something is important and not just get advertisements to watch the broadcast or attempts at clickbait. Please follow the notification settings selected.
This app hasn’t worked in 2 day! I get notifications but when I go to app to open up the story, it opens to a white screen and never opens the story
Stopped watching because of the ad structure
I’ve been watching this news channel for over 55 years but the last 5 years you have been a pathetic DEMOCRAT PARTY. All I see is support black negro people or all democrat people. This news channel has been dishonest and biased for the Republican establishment and for the white minority. SHAME ON YOU. WIS- 10 is pathetic.
Can’t get to news without going through several ads. Dropping your app.
See title
Font too small! When you expand the view, you cannot read the entire text. A dark background would make it easier to read.
I’m so sick of the breaking news that doesn’t matter, like Day 1, 2, and 3 of what’s at the state fair! Your station is making everyone not wanting to watch or have your app. You already have nothing but news on all day, so stop with the alerts all day.
You used to show the item that prompted the notice to show when we looked at the screen. Now you have nothing but an ad and numerous stories, none of which are marked or identified as the news flash prompting the alert! This app in its current format is trash. J Walker Hough
There is a link to report errors on the article and it does nothing. I tried several different stories and the link does not work.
Really hard to get to a weather forecast without being forced to watch commercial after commercial. Useless. Deleted.
During live news app simply plays one commercial after another. Don’t waste viewers time.
It likes a lot in identification and detail. Mr B A.
I live in Rembert sc. I felt the earthquake ! Anne Taylor Rembert,sc29128
All Gray stations: each affiliate’s app continually annoys me with messages that my location isn’t current as Gray attempts to mine location data from MY phone. These incessant reminders try my patience and are driving me to leave Gray!!!
Woefully slow on updates and being current. Why show old stories 2-3 days old as "news". Call it "olds".
I wish you all,would show more news on the app. It loads more than anything, and when it does come back on. You’ve miss half of the segment.
The only issue that I have with this app is pop-up advertisement when I first open it from, Stanley Law.
Not enough real news. Misleading headlines. Way too much click bait.
It is SO annoying to get the Stanley Law Group ad every time I open the WIS app.
New updated version does not work at all. Have been trying since the update and still nothing.
Constant Laweyer and car commercials very annoying and bad don’t plan to watch any more.
This was a practical and helpful app. Then it was “updated “ to a hot garbage app! Glad there are other TV news apps that work well. Shame on the former market leader WIS for not correcting this over the last 6 weeks
Go back to the old app!!!! I’m deleting this app after I write this review. The app is very hard to use has very limited news and is often not current!!!! Very disappointed!!!
I don’t like the updated app. The same news is on the app for several days. Also the sports isn’t updated in a timely fashion. Ie: When Carolina’s baseball team was playing their first game with Virginia you were unable to get the score until the next day . Also the live news is always coming from another state. Please get back to the Wis I’m always been happy to call my station.
New version of this app is a nightmare. Freezes when opens, hard to navigate, and is full of annoying pop ups and ads.
Too many!! Wis has become a commercial app.
What was wrong with the app opening to the top stories first?
Please bring back the old app. This is very frustrating to navigate. I never leave reviews but I had to with this one.
What a miserable experience using this app is. It's better to just not know what's going on in Columbia than to suffer through all the ads and pop-ups.
Why do you have to close a full screen advertisement before you can view your app?
Once the app was updated a few weeks ago it has become one of the worst functioning apps that I have. It is constantly glitching and doesn’t load. It is also extremely frustrating to navigate.
I hate this app. It is broken down into all of these different sections and when I read the community section, the articles have hardly any information on the article topic. I will not use this. I can use my ABC and WLTX for local news.
I hate the new version of this app. I want to read the news articles not watch videos of them. Please bring back old version or fix this one. There’s nothing easier about this one. Updated on 4/25/21 Downloaded new improved version that came out yesterday and now app no longer works. I’m running iPad 14.4.2. The app will not open at all. The circle keeps going around and around and app will not open. At least Monday the app would open now it won’t do that. Please fix!!
Wis continues to decline rapidly. The app is basically useless for now. In the quest for rapid growth, quality is sacrificed.
I absolutely hate the new app!
The updated app requires opening several pages before the news can be accessed. First page is an ad, second page gives a choice between WIS and another app, third page select WIS app, four page select news. Just terrible, the old app was perfect
New update does not load in a timely manner. Most times I have to hit retry so I look for news elsewhere.
Once the update was done...it takes SO long to get this app to open. I thought it was just my phone but it’s the only app I’m having problems with. Not happy with the updated version.
WIS news app used be great and I could get everything I wanted from this app. However, when you now require Location Services to be on to work, that’s an invasion of privacy. If they change that requirement, I will use it. Otherwise, this is a quick uninstall for me.
Thank you for the latest information
