Atlanta News from 11Alive for Negative User Reviews
✓ Update was terribleIt's been months since the new apps were released and there have been no improvements. Aesthetically the update is nice, but functionally, it's a nightmare. Every time I open a push notification the app crashes and I can't find the story again; the old version of this app had a notification bell where you could find all the stories you got notifications for, but now they just disappear. It's frustrating and incredibly disappointing. I used a number of Tegna's apps to read up on the news but the update made it a pain..Version: 6.2.5
✓ Fun hunting for grammar errors...and there are plenty. My favorite headline today is, “Are EV Charging Stations Banned Interstate Rest Stops” Nobody there thought to read this and insert the word “at”. You will be amazed at all the basic grammar mistakes. It's a good teaching instrument for grade school children to learn proofreading. Unfortunately articles will auto play attached video clips with audio, even if your phone is muted. Not good if you're trying to not disturb those around you. You will get tired of hearing how they're "Holding the Powerful Accountable." It's ironic since they obviously don't even read an article before posting it!.Version: 44.3
✓ So much promise, so poor deliveryHaving an app to alert me to local news is great, but the delivery of said news is awful. Video plays automatically and difficult to stop it, really inconvenient when in a place where noise is an issue. Screens don’t load correctly with ads often obscuring what you are trying to read. You have to go to several different sites within the app to get what you’re looking for. Sometimes clicking on a news alert takes you to an entirely different article. Please redesign this with experts in web design!!!.Version: 4.27.840033446
✓ OkToo many notifications that aren't news, let alone news worthy of a notification... they've now started sending what are essentially commercials for their new 11pm reformatted newscast as notifications. When in the app there are a lot of ads that pop up. And if you click on most story links you're taken to another page where you have to click again to actually get to the story. With all these things, I don't end up using app much unless I have time to waste or am looking for a specific story..Version: 4.26.070032065
✓ Ads so large you can’t even see the articleLook, I get it...ads are the only way to make money off of a free app. But each time you open an article, it takes forever to load, and about 15 seconds later an ad the size of the whole screen covers the article and you have to scroll all the way up to exit. Many times the whole app freezes and the article disappears. Why can’t you just have the ads at the bottom like everyone else? If you’re looking for local Atlanta news, get the WSB app. Same news, just no impossible ad system. Please fix!.Version: 4.32.870043228
✓ Could be better.I use this everyday to be informed. I wish they would fix the issue with when I open the app and go to watch something there is no sound I have to press the play button and then an ad comes on. Every single time it is extremely annoying. And then I can scroll down to look as another video and the previous videos will start playing as I am watching..Version: 42.4.12
✓ Wrong Stories ... Bad InterfaceI see several notifications of stories I would like to read more about however when I swipe to view it often takes me to a different story or the story is hanging off the iPad "page". I can't read the story. If I try to go to the home page and click the story manually, it again takes me to a different story or the whole app completely crashes..Version: 4.27.840033446
✓ Good info, but not so hot delvery...Nothing more frustrating than being alertdbto a news story, only to be sidetracked by several ads before, during & after you finally get to the story. I know you need advertising, but give us break! At the very least, knock off the 6 ads inthe middle of the story...😡.Version: 42.3.15
✓ Don’t get this app!This is the most outrageous, horrible app I’ve ever had the misfortune to get. It is nothing but clickbait and obtrusive ads. It is impossible to go straight to a story without clicking through 2-3 links, and the ads won’t go away—they will often spontaneously begin replaying even as you’re reading or listening to a story. Any of the local TV apps are better (although each also has its annoying proclivities). I give it 1 star only because the negative star number line is disallowed..Version: 4.28.190036653
✓ Great app but has a major bug.It says to leave feedback in the app settings but there is no place to do that so maybe they will read this. This is the best news app but there is a bug that started when they redesigned sever updates ago. When I look at the list of notifications and find an article I want to read a lot of times it will bring up a totally different article. It doesn’t happen on the latest 3-4 notifications but ones a little earlier. I also have the same problem within the app after I click on the bell to see the notifications list. Also it’s so annoying to start reading the article and then and as pops up me after Xing out it returns to the top of the article..Version: 4.32.870043228
✓ Too many adsIt seems that there is an ad showing after every couple of sentences in the news story. At times the story you’re looking for (that you specifically clicked on the notification for) can’t be found. I thought the app used to be better than that. I love 11Alive and watch NBC more than any other network but this app is not up to par at all with the other ways I enjoy this network..Version: 4.28.190036653
✓ Terrible app!This is the worst performing apps on both my iPhone and iPad. I will get an alert about a story which I would be interested in reading and click the link. It takes FOREVER to load. Once it finally loads, it makes me click once or twice again to get to whatever meager content there is they alerted me to in the first place. Constant pop up ads. Even if you close them, a blank box will remain where the ad would have displayed. It continues overlaps the text of the article you want to read. Sometimes the audio of a video will start to play but the video itself is nowhere to be found. Just awful!.Version: 4.32.870043228
✓ Big Step BackwardsThe new app is an improvement visually, but in terms of functionality and performance, it’s a mess. It seems more thought was paid to design rather than usage. Takes too much scrolling to find stories compared to previous version. Near impossible to get to previous location in app without having to start over. Developers thought they had created an intuitive design, but they failed. Previous version, despite its lack of visual “pizzazz”, was far more user friendly..Version: 6.1.29
✓ Completely ruined the appThey have completely ruined the App with the recent changes. I hate the new pictures, time to load anything, trying to find anything now. It is the worst changes ever made to an app. They need to change the layout back to everything loading right away on the first page. Now I have to wait for things to load and then search for everything. They ruined the weather portion and the radar too. Doesn’t load right or takes forever to actually open. You can’t always close the ads to read the stories. Don’t know what happened to the traffic. They are trying to get you to spend more time on the app, and it is making me not want to use it all. So backfire. I will be looking for a new news app. Hate everything about this new app. Absolutely the worst app ever!!!!!!.Version: 6.1.34
✓ Loaded with ad pop ups and now opens the App Store every couple of secondsThe worst of all is that every couple of seconds the app now launches the App Store for a piece of junk app no one will ever want. Which app it brings up seems random. The app is now showing ads you have to swipe to remove immediately upon launching the app. They also appear at random times. The news articles it has often now have links to read it. This is not a news app, it’s an ad app. Time to uninstall and look for something else. Yet they advertise on tv that they listen and give us the local news we want. I’m calling BS on that..Version: 4.26.070032065
✓ Can’t even read news!11Alive used to be my go-to for news but not anymore! You can’t even read the news on their app!! Whenever I get a notification and I want to read it, I am bombarded with ads! When I exit the ads, then the article won’t even load anymore! Half the time, the notification topic I click doesn’t even bring me to the correct article! This has gotten beyond frustrating and just flat out annoying. I’m switching to use the WSB app. This app is a joke..Version: 4.31.080040840
✓ Video Pop Ups!!This used to be my go to Atlanta news app. Lately it has become frustrating. Random video ads will pop up full screen every 15-20 seconds. I have to close out of them 10-15 times to get through one article. Please fix this ASAP!!.Version: 4.28.190036653
✓ Needs workI use this to watch the news in the morning. The app crashes, plays ads during the broadcast, and will play them repeatedly until it finally gives up and crashes. I have the option to close out the ad, but it will continue to pop up and play with no sound..Version: 4.28.190036653
✓ Needs improvementAdds popping up and literally preventing the article being read seems counterintuitive. Takes away from the reading experience. There is also no way to share an article with a friend which is surprising. The app is also crashing a lot. Can’t be browsing on it for more than 5 minutes it seems before it crashes and 2 of those minutes are adds! This is at 11 alive news itself. I just want to say what a terrible job has been done with the Governors race. The most recent notification I have right now is (Abrams pulls 8,245 votes in just one week!) Never was there an optimistic headline for kemp. This type of bias is what covered the whole election. I have no idea what the kemp campaign did because you only covered Abrams and her “Positive” attitude!.Version: 4.31.080040840
