What are users saying about WOWT 6 News

Z70%
by Z####:

Just wish the weather could show in the notification bar and the breaking news sound wasn't so loud. Please change the alert sound to something more subtle.

Z70%
by Z####:

Constantly crashes and has errors. I can almost never access the weather or radar without my phone reporting an error with it. When it does open it always is weather from previous days. Which happens with the news as well. Tl;Dr weather doesn't work, news sometimes works. Crashes all the time.

N70%

GPS does not work on my phone

Z70%

Will not allow me to select Douglas county for weather alerts

C70%
by C####:

Play the whole news video like on the TV

E70%
by E####:

Wowt took a page out of CNNs book and threw ads everywhere. Ads with the stories, constant ad while reading a story, and not to mention the full page ad when you open the app.

J70%
by J####:

Articles are horribly written with frequent errors. Headlines are awful. Weather feature is the only thing keeping me from deleting this app.

Z70%
by Z####:

Keeps popping up breaking news.the same one over and over then I can't check the weather it just buffers . If you don't fix I'll choose different app for weather.

Absolutely USELESS Crap!!!!

Won't load anymore!!!!!

Z70%
by Z####:

Best app for notifications for my area YET! Highly recommend!

U70%
by U####:

This used to work much better. Now the notifications do not work properly, it only loads the news sporadically, and times out constantly. Please fix this garbage.

S70%
by S####:

Have a little icon saying I have 15 notifications but I turned them off and cleared the feature. But that 15 on the icon is still being displayed, very annoying. Since there is no support/feedback to improve it. I will just post this review.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app has a few bugs in. The weather story never shows up and it still says scarecast from Halloween on it on the main news page.

Z70%
by Z####:

Keeps timing out, can't watch for more than 5 minutes.

Z70%
by Z####:

Indicates there are notifications, but have none.

G70%
by G####:

It gives accurate readings and it's very hepful!!!

Z70%
by Z####:

You need to fix this App! Since your update of 9/12, the notifications are incessant. I have them all set to off but they continue to pile up. Even if you clear them out the number doesn't reset.

Z70%
by Z####:

Sick of Husker football updates during games, even with all notifications off still get them. I may delete this app until football is over or just turn to only KETV app for news

Z70%
by Z####:

With 3 kids sitting to watch the news in rarely an option so being able to read it on the app it easier. I love being able to pick the type of notifications I get. Thanks WOWT!

T70%
by T####:

Why can't the app find Omaha Public Schools? Ridiculous.

Z70%
by Z####:

Not loving the new weather scheme

Z70%
by Z####:

I would love to turn off shucker notifications without turning off breaking news

P70%
by P####:

I really like 10 at 10 get most important news im 10 minutes

Z70%
by Z####:

Too many adds to see content

Q70%
by Q####:

I'm a big Husker fan, however I don't consider updates on the game "BREAKING NEWS". I only signed up for breaking news and weather and I have had at least 12 maybe more notifications since the game started... and I'm watching the game!

Z70%
by Z####:

I only have breaking news and weather updates checked in my preferences for this phone app and I am getting continuous updates during the Husker games. Sports box is not checked. Trending isn't checked. Breaking news should be news, not Sports. Especially when there's a dozen or more per game!

F70%
by F####:

I have sports notifications turned off because I couldn't care less about the huskers. Why did I get 50 updates today? Deleting app. Going back to ketv

Z70%
by Z####:

I get a notification every 5 mins even though I opted out of everything except the weather. I get notified of EVERYTHING though.

I70%
by I####:

The app us ok now. Whenever I open it, I first have to click past an ad. Very annoying.

T70%
by T####:

1. I don't care for the ads and 2. I want to be able to manage the notification sound and type.

R70%
by R####:

Too many Husker Game updates. If I cared I would be watching the game. Every play or touchdown is not breaking news.

U70%
by U####:

Please, please, please let me pick specific alert categories! The Husker coach's Monday press conference, for example, is NOT alert-worthy! I would turn off all sports alerts, as an example.

W70%
by W####:

I totally don't need to be awakened at 5 am to be told today won't be as windy as yesterday. Everything else is at my fingertips and that makes it nice.

I70%
by I####:

So I just clicked on the live viewing and it showed a CBS station from not around here. What happened?

U70%
by U####:

Great app. 5 stars great. But every video is preceded by an advertisement. In some cases that advertisement is longer than the news story. TV doesn't even shove ads down our throat that much. Now ads show before even getting in the app. I have Uninstaller and doubt I will ever miss the "advertising app" (news app). Very disappointed.

U70%
by U####:

I lowered my rating. Channel 6 is my favorite News Station, but this is not my favorite news app! EXTREMELY heavy advertising, problems with weather settings in the layers, & very loud notifications. Breaking news is important to me, but I don't consider sports Breaking News. Though I don't have sports checked I keep getting the loud notifications for breaking news in sports. Fix these and I'll raise my rating.

U70%
by U####:

Alerts notification arrives on phone. When you click on it to read the alert it takes you to the map. Says nothing about what the alert is or where.

B70%
by B####:

I hate the adds that pop up when you open the app

D70%
by D####:

I don't even open it anymore due to having to close an ad every time. Switching to ketv
