WILX News for Android
I have samsung note 5 and it just constantly has an issue and says it has to close. Don't waste your time and just install weather channel app instead
Now it downloads data gobbling video adds everytime you open a news notification. Not smart, Im dumping it.
Could be good if it didn't crash my phone almost every time I look at it for more than 30 seconds.
Takes forever to load if it does at all
It has everything I need.
It works fine if you don't want to check the weather, it crashes out every time the weather icon is opened on it
You get a notification for the news then when you click on it, you can't find the article anywhere on the app
This app is nice when it works. It crashes about 50% of the time. They need to work.out the bugs.
Very slow. Takes too long to do anything.
Local, state, national news, weather. Notifications I want to receive. Well written, informative.
Weather radar will not play. Says "unfortunately, WILX news has stopped working" then closes the app. I have brought this to their attn. at least twice, still not fixed. Also I receive notifications on stories but when I click on it, it takes me to the main news page where the article isn't even there! Update - now the weather page is purple with blue text in some places & you can't even read it.
I love the interactive radar, but my low rating comes from the endless notifications. When I check yes for breaking news, I don't expect to get notified of the stories coming up in the next broadcast. Especially at 11pm at night. I've received way too many daily notifications that are just senseless.
PLEASE?!!! The people who write your story copy should use better grammar, or at the very least, proofread before they publish. The lack of basic editing does make your copy hard to read sometimes.
I only gave 3 stars for this app because although it is a very informative app for local news and weather. And I like being able to customize my notifications. But.... the problem I have with is sometimes I try to click on a specific notification from my pull down bar and it takes me right to the home page and then I can't find the story I clicked on... Or when I click on a traffic alert for an area my notification was for it just brings up a map with cameras on it with no info. Puzzled Android???
It will give a head line alert then you tap on it and you should (but don't) go directly there. You just go to the main menu. Then you have to search for the story
Recieve notifications of news stories, but when you click on them it takes you to the main page of the app, then you cannot find the story! Frustrating!
Buggy. 50/50 if it will take you to the alert you tap on and if it doesn't, good luck navigating to find what it was or about.
Keeps popping up telling me app has closed. Today it did it and almost screwed up a game I was playing. Please fix or uninstalling!!!!
This app sucks! Can never get the sky cams and the video feed is not good either.!
Many times the story for an alert notification can't be found. Very frustrating.
I can check the app for new ,NEWS and it's the same all day sometimes!
I love this app I never need to miss the news or weather alerts
The full page add when the app starts up is annoying. Also, The people who write your story copy should use better grammar, or at the very least, proofread before they publish. I expect that from an award winning media outlet. Finally, it would be awesome to click on a breaking news alert and be linked directly to the story. With so many people forgoing traditional TV you should invest in this application.
I liked it better when we could receive texts.
I get that you want ad revenue but stop using such garbage ads to do so. It's deceptive and those ads often contain dangerous malware.
Weather radar will not play. Says "unfortunately, WILX news has stopped working" then closes the app. I have brought this to their attn. at least twice, still not fixed.
WAY too many ads. Frequently it has the same ad play 4 or 5 times in a row. If they are in the middle of a story when you start the app, you still get sent to an ad instead of getting news. Very hard to get actual news here on the live feed.
I would give this 5 stars but even though I have ALL notifications turned off it still keeps showing notifications for app. UUURRRRGGGGHHH!
Click on the app because there is a notification, but when app opens it shows nothing.
I work in multiple areas schools and need to know when more than four schools are closed. This app only allows me to get notifications for 4 schools.
The weather graphics are terrible. Liked the older version much better.
Radar 10 is the best news around love it just saying !!
I have not figured out how to shut off the sound notifications for alerts, if there is a way. I asked for weather alerts. I thought it would be severe weather, not "Plenty of sunshine today". I also asked for traffic alerts. Didn't get a single alert about the accident on the highway last night that was less than 10 miles away.
I'm thinking they must be very short staffed or possibly just don't take this app seriously.
Slow to load. When an alert comes up and I tap it for more info or just loads the main page not the story I tapped.
When you watch a news clip it plays the same commercial every time. It gets annoying.
GPS is not working properly but other than that the app works great
Clunky and slow. GPS can't locate. Crashed as I typed this
So I enjoy reading the news when I don't get watch
