WLOX Local News for Negative User Reviews
✓ Stuck on loading screenEver since the update the app freezes on the loading screen with a circle just going round and round. I hope this gets fixed soon cause I loved the app before the constant freezing.Version: 6.6.5
✓ Horrible app!The old WLOX app was not very good. This one is a hundred times worse! It’s hard to follow which stories are actual news and which are just click-bait. It’s very disjointed in the presentation and has too many adds..Version: 6.6.6
✓ Upgrade not working properlyEver since the upgrade a couple of weeks ago The app at times will not open at all Like this morning.Version: 7.0.4
✓ Latest Version is a disappointThe new version uses a font that is not as reader-friendly. It’s much slower to load, and the ads are placed too frequently and are distracting. In general, I find WLOX doesn’t update the news as frequently enough. There has to be more stories that are of local interest. Instead of the same news with no updates,!there could be more inspirational local coverage. Perhaps the most ironic and frequent negative aspect is the message of “there’s no news,” which in find is more frequent at night and on weekends..Version: 5.0.2
✓ App is terribleYour new news app is more than useless. It has no logical order and if this app was paper, it would not even make a good mullet wrapper. It should be flushed. Since giving the app zero stars is not an option, you get a one..Version: 5.0.3
✓ UnwantedWhy do we have to watch unwanted commercials when we open stories? Cant close out until finished? Wasn't like this before makes we want to delete Ap!.Version: 7.0.6
✓ ReviewWLOX is where I start my morning. The content is lackluster, and stale. Quite a bit of the current content is months old. The weather part is only somewhat helpful now since they removed the live morning report. Really enjoyed watching Wesley, he had a lot of enthusiasm. Near Zero on the saints. My time on the site has gone from 15min to 4min, then it's on to AppleNews..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Poorly optimized and unavoidable ads!I enjoyed the access to local news headlines, and I appreciate that the news stories were never behind a paywall. However, this app made my phone’s performance abysmal! The app constantly refreshed in the background, even after disabling this option in settings, and unavoidable full-screen animated ads (with embarrassing sound) popped up at random intervals. Extremely frustrating, and there’s no paid ad-free version available. Save your phone and just pin the WLOX homepage to your home screen!.Version: 6.6.2
✓ LocationWhen you report on businesses,frequently you omit the addresses Newcomers and visitors do not know where they are located Also events.Version: 7.0.13
✓ ReviewI liked the previous version of the app much better, this is a step backwards. It looks like a cheaper version. I enjoyed the trending stories section, why was it done away with?.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Faulty new appWas prompted tonight to download the new app when I opened it to read the news - now it won’t open - have tried over the past few hours. Deleted and will try to download and see if if that works..Version: 6.2.9
✓ Updated AppNot user friendly. Continually freezes up trying to open. Will not open to the notification story when opened using notification link. Poor overall update.Version: 6.6.9
✓ Good news, the app needs a little tweakingThe problem with the app is when I turn my iPhone sideways to view a picture or video I can’t go back, the app freezes. I have to completely close the app and reopen it to continue. Very frustrating. And I realize the news has to advertise, but do I have to see one EVERY TIME i view a video? I have to admit that I don’t watch as many because of the ads. Thank you for letting me air my thoughts..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Terrible upgradeI absolutely hate the new mobile format. I don’t want to click topic headers for my news. It is harder to view alerts..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Horrible new appThe new app is a horrible set up. Toyota ads running way to often and very annoying. There are too many pop ups on the app which get frustrating..Version: 5.0.2
✓ NotificationsClick on notifications and find every thing but the story.Version: 6.7.9
✓ Go BackGo back to old format. Had a whole lot less useless links and more current news.Version: 6.7.2
✓ Old one is betterI don’t like this newer version it is not categorized in a more helpful way as the other one and it keeps old news way to long.Version: 5.0.3
✓ FrustratingWay too much ad and click bait. Search either locks up or returns no or irrelevant issues. Too much outdated junk.Version: 6.7.4
✓ Needs a serious updateThe app is always crashing. Weather forecast never works. Live news feeds doesn’t work..Version: 6.6.9
✓ Update doesn’t workSince the April 2021 update, my app no longer works. It gets caught on the loading screen but never goes further..Version: 6.6.5
✓ Another racist news outlet.This “news outlet” that claims to be unbiased and equally representative is ACTUALLY openly racist. Notice the capitalization differences. “Black” is NOT a proper noun, and by capitalizing it and not “white”, you are a prime example of how media drives separation in the masses for profit. Shame on your company and I will no longer follow such racist bigotry. What a joke..Version: 6.6.8
✓ New updateI updated the app and can now no longer open the app. Don’t know how to solve the issue. Miss checking the news each morning.Version: 6.2.10
✓ Doesn’t workI have a iPhone 13 and the WLOX app won’t work it just keeps buffering. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing for over a year this has been going on. The weather app works great. Disappointed in this app..Version: 6.7.11
✓ Does not workMy WLOX app asked me to up date and that is the last time it worked I have deleted and reinstalled five times and all I get is the wheel of death.Version: 6.6.5
✓ Too many adds.I don't want to see an add breaking up every sentence of every news story and prefer not to read the news at all if that'a what I'm going to get. Would even prefer to pay for news and not get the add interruptions, but, doesn't seem to be an option..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Update and streamingThe app version for the weather is not updated frequently enough. The watch live doesn’t always stream it cuts out a lot..Version: 6.2.12
✓ What happened to this App?We used to be able to get more than just local news on this App. Recently it changed? Probably will delete it soon if it stays this way. Sad!.Version: 5.0.2
✓ AppStill don’t like. You get maybe a few news stories mixed in with a bunch of ads made to look like news stories. “ mom in tears plays app and wins big”..Version: 6.7.2
✓ Latest Version is AwfulThe new update is awful. It is confusing. It's hard to separate the headlines. It repeats headlines/news on home page. Mixes old news with new news. As a result, I have now started going to the Sun Herald app to get my daily news. I pray to God that they do not screw up the wlox weather when they do an update for it..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Don’t like new updateThis new update isn’t as user friendly as the previous one. The colors and the set up seem distracting. It just kind of irritates you look for what you want to see first. It also freezes up, you have to close it and reopen. Sometimes change isn’t always the best. Also couldn’t rate the app in the actual app. That link doesn’t do anything. I had to go to the App Store..Version: 6.6.5
✓ Latest Update HorribleThe latest update is absolutely horrible. It is riddled with ads even worse than before. The new layout is horrendous..Version: 6.6.4
✓ New update seems like a jumbled mess.I use this app everyday and I recently downloaded the newest update. It looks like a disorganized, jumbled mess. Often the same story featured several times and there is no clear division and eye appeal to the dividing lines between stories as they are listed on the main page. Also with the recent storm in the Atlantic there should be an update on the main page with current Speeds and forecast..Version: 5.0.2
✓ BrokenSince previous updates, when I select a story, the download stops around halfway and that’s it. I never see the story. I have a really nice frame and title, but no content. Same on the WDAM app.Version: 7.0.8
✓ Old app was WAY better!The new version is hard to work with and every time you click to view a story you get a loud annoying ad. Deleted the app and now using Sun Herald..Version: 6.6.5
✓ Used to be a good appPitiful app. News articles are heavily out weighed by ads. Updates are infrequent. I get better local news from another app..Version: 6.6.8
✓ Not improved! Just MORE ads!Too many ads! Can’t tell the news stories from “sponsored content”ads. Too many ads interruptions!!! Wish I could go back to old app. Will probably delete this whole app. Makes it Too much trouble to try to see the local news!.Version: 6.6.5
✓ No thanksWill not work unless location access is given. Why does the app require location access to just read the news? And, just like last time I had this app, it’s slam full of ads. No thanks, I’ll be deleting again..Version: 6.7.11
