WDRB News for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great Coverage, Poor AppThis is a review of the app, not the content provided. I am very disappointed with WDRB’s new app. The home screen is organized strangely with both horizontal and vertical scrolling sections of stories. The headlines are hard to read on top of the story thumbnails. The weather section has been redone, but is missing some key links like the weather blog. Pressing play on the forecast video just brings up the WDRB mobile website instead of playing the video directly. Long story short, the old app was better. Much better..Version: 5.0
✓ Too many adsThe latest update has ads out of control and makes it tough to read a story..Version: 5.0
✓ News good, app poorLove wdrb news but the new app is terrible. Only displays in portrait mode..Version: 5.0
✓ New versionThe new version of this app is awful. Instead of making stories easier to access, I get presented with just a couple very large photos of news items on my iPad. It takes much more navigating to find stories or view something other than the top news stories. I used to look at this app nearly every morning, but I’m going to look for another news source that is more user friendly..Version: 5.0
✓ FreezingLove this app. Had it for a long time but just recently upgraded to a iPhone X’s max and now the app is freezing when I open it. Please fix the issue..Version: 4.30.430040617
✓ If I could give fewer stars I would!This version has more bugs than a mattress in a flophouse. ONLY read for Bozich & Crawford, now no tab for them..Version: 6.0
✓ ReviewOnly complaint is when you receive the “breaking news” you get it twice. A nice feature in the future would be to chose what alerts you want to get like news, sports, weather for your specific area etc....Version: 6.0
✓ Update is terribleLoved the original version but the newest update is terrible. I cannot turn for the wide view which is what I like and I only see the same stories...over and over again. I love WDRB but this app is not user friendly and does not seem to carry more that four or five major stories. Will find another news app to use..Version: 5.0
✓ No contentWorked fine until the update. Now no news articles will open. Fix and I will consider updating review if I still have the app. May delete and go with another news source..Version: 5.8
✓ As of a few days agoWas a pretty good app. As of a couple of days ago I started getting an annoying pop-up ad from the bottom of the screen that keeps popping up over and over again. It will take about a week of this BS and I will delete it..Version: 4.30.430040617
✓ Meh... Don’t like the update.I used to love this app, which was my go-to for local news and weather. Unfortunately, the latest update drives me crazy! My biggest issue is with the basic navigation. I never had a problem moving from News to Weather. I now have to search for the weather page (last seen in the “more“ section?). Once there, many of the features that I once loved are gone. (A prime example is the visual graph showing the chance of precipitation by the hour.) Similarly, the visual cues are difficult to interpret. (As an example, are the dotted lines underneath the cloud supposed to mean rain, slow or a mix?) Again, I long for the old days..Version: 5.2
✓ Stories rarely updated.This app is easy to use. Sometimes there will be "Breaking News" about a serious matter where it will not ever be updated. I think most TV execs have been slow to realize just how many folks get their news online. Please update stories..Version: 4.24.210030734
✓ Fix your appApp keeps kicking me out right in the middle of reading an article. Don't remember having this issue before last update. This is the only local news app I keep on my phone, and read it daily, but it is becoming frustrating. Very close to deleting the app..Version: 4.28.190036514
✓ Good news site, but...WDRB has some great writers and reporters, but it’s very frustrating when a story breaks. Breaking news will get a couple of sentences, ending with “we have a crew on the way to the scene. This story will be updated.” And frequently the update never comes, or comes hours later. It’s like they don’t feel the need to update until their next broadcast deadline. Or maybe they just don’t have the personnel to update. Also, been having trouble lately with the app freezing..Version: 4.30.430040617
✓ Not working well on iPhoneCan’t really say if it’s me or the app but on my iPhone it is really choppy and occasionally crashes. When swiping thru stories sometimes shows same story two or three times and sometimes won’t load story at all..Version: 4.28.190036514
✓ Closings? Don’t botherIf you’re looking to find school/business closing via the app, don’t bother wasting your time unless you’re facility will be one of the first five, alphabetically. That’s all you can see in the app, you cannot scroll or search, and it’s all because they had to put 5,348,674,179,983,562,871 ads on every page. You can bet your bottom dollar the ads don’t get cut off/work perfectly. Two stars because there actually is news buried in there somewhere..Version: 4.30.430040617
✓ Frequently does not loadShows nothing frequently.Version: 6.1
✓ New Version is the PITSThe old version worked great. I understand the need to keep on the cutting edge, but y’all dulled the blade so you can’t cut water. If I could give y’all a 0 stars I would!.Version: 5.0
✓ 30 minutes of commercialsNon stop commercials in the app while waiting to watch the weather update. Closed the app and restarted it to find the road conditions and they slipped the weather section. I swear you can’t get updated weather without all nonsense.Version: 7.1
✓ New Version is not providing story content - error messageNew Version is not providing story content - error message.Version: 5.0
✓ AdsI don’t mind ads but at least give us the option to mute the sound. You wake up the whole house with just one swipe to the left. Deleting app.Version: 7.0
✓ New VersionI like nothing about this new app. The layout is awkward, it is difficult to find what I’m looking for and the ads are ridiculous. I loved the old app and used it several times a day to check the news and weather but using this new version is a chore..Version: 5.0
✓ GarbageThe old app was great. Now if there’s an update and I click on it, I’m sent to the home page with no update to be found. It also appears they got rid of the alerts button so you could see the updates..Version: 5.2
✓ Crashes. Live feeds.The live feeds keep crashing..Version: 4.28.190036514
✓ Pop ups, ReallyThe new layout is almost impossible to view on my phone. The text in the picture is to small and the layout is messy. I can’t find the news and getting around the app is too much trouble. The old version needed some updates but this isn’t it..Version: 5.1.0
✓ New UIThis app worked fairly well before the newest update. It would crash sometimes but I understand that, its an app and that happens. Since the new update came out though, none of the links for news articles work. They show there’s no information or no content. I like the new UI but nothing works, please fix this, I like using this app for news in Louisville but right now its unusable..Version: 5.0
✓ Too many ads.App is a piece of garbage. So many ads. Pops up. The commenting system is just awful. Lots of misleading left leaning headlines..Version: 7.0
✓ Last update has too many ads that pop up as you scrollUsed to be my favorite local news app but I guess like all the others, they are selling advertising space. It interrupts the flow of reading the news which is the very reason I use app Oh well..........Version: 6.0
