WATE 6 News | On Your Side for Android
Don't issue an alert/notification if you don't have the story posted yet. When stories are posted sometimes they are done incorrectly....only a portion of the story is there sometimes only a paragraph.
Every time you go to break it says "be right back" but you never do, I have to close the app then reopen it to get the news to come back on. I'm uninstalling this app.
Very handy for busy people
Great
Thank you!! My anxiety was through the roof until I downloaded this and it showed the storm tracks. No other local news apps radar will work.
Love this app, it helps me kept updated on the top of the news
I really like it!

You take the time to send us notifications. Please make it to where we can actually read them! After tapping the notifications, it takes us to the app which has nothing about the notice!!! Poor show!! Update 10/01/16 I have looked for the new application. Can't find it. Articles that say it's "right here" bring me back to my old one. Driving me crazy!!
TN VS FLORIDA
Love it
This might as well be a McDonald's app. Pop up every few second wit McDonald's add.
The McDonald's ad pops up every five seconds and keeps redirecting me to their site. Shame this company needs this ad revenue this bad
When alerts come through and I try to view the article the app gives a notification that the article is no longer available even though I just got the notification.

They are alot of things this app doesnt do. It freezes up when u try to get on the app. It does help me to keep up with my kids school closings during bad weather. So I have to give them that. Thats what I needed it for.
Too glitchy on my S5. Hated to get rid of it because I like having my local news but the pop up ad was annoying.
When a traffic issue pops up, it needs to be able to be read, not pop up on traffic screen, when you open it. Or let it pop up on both, to be read and seen on traffic map.
Not worth downloading
If you enjoy hearing or seeing 6 on your side then this one is four you.that has got to be the most over used phrase I have heard.I do not watch these idiots on channel 6...
I open the app and for 3 or 4 news stories things are fine. Then if I select another story my phone freezes or I see a popup saying there is no story. I like the push alerts and the weather app, but this is becoming unuseable. Please fix this.
Like the news and weather alerts

Good news source but Mcdonald popups every 5 second hinder ability to see news.
This app has a McDonald's advertising page that pops up every time you try to read anything, then while you read the article. I think everyone knows what McDonald's has. One cannot open it without it. It causes the app to close. When there is breaking news I have to go to another station... Please take that type of advertisement off and I will come back.
But no when I click on the app it does nothing but shows a blank screen.. please fix it
Get notifications on Facebook about breaking news. Click to see and takes you to web page and no breaking news to be found. Very annoying. Maybe a hour later find something about it or other channels have it!!
Every time I try to report something it says my email is invalid. Also it has these ads that make it quite hard to read the page. It just needs some fixes thats all.
The McDonald's ad pops up every five seconds and keeps redirecting me to their site. Shame this company needs this ad revenue this bad
When you view a story, the headline reporter date and time it was posted and date and time of last update stay on the top half of the screen. Only the bottom half scrolls to allow you to read the story. I already know what story I'm reading. I clicked on it, and it is on the top of the screen when I first arrive on the article. Now they have a pop up ad that takes over your phone, even if the app is minimized. They already had lots of ads. Love the company but hate their app.
When you open a story and return to the list of stories, it goes back to the top of the list. Not where the story was in the list.
Ready
Why can't I check weather in a different area? The app used to allow the user to go to settings and input your zip code for places other than Knoxville. I can't do that at all now :( the interactive radar doesn't load at all either. Love WATE, used to love the app. Please address!
This app used to work, but I can no longer stream the live broadcasts. Very disappointed.
To turn off the constant and annoying push notifications...go to phone setting, applications, application manager, wate 6, uncheck the box for allowing notifications. I would rate the app higher if it allowed turning off notifications with the app itself.

Never know if I can read full article. One article will be fine, the next one may show a few lines and the words seemed to be blocked. If I had to guess the ads are not refreshing properly and casuing the issue. Pitch us a no ad subscription version?
