WPTV News Channel 5 West Palm for Negative User Reviews

✓ Does this app ever show any news??I’m generally appreciative of the opportunity to watch a few commercials in exchange for viewing recurring-fee-free content. But 20 MINUTES (or longer) of nothing but a recurring loop of commercials then looping trivia along side a “content staring soon” message??? WPTV is a great news source. I’ve come to think there is no news in this ad-trap app. Shame on you WPTV..SulmaraVersion: 6.40

✓ Not crazy about the new lookYou got some work to do on this new update. The app never refreshes and that’s a big problem. It shows the same stories from days earlier. Time after time. I have to hard close the app to get it to load current news..BakpainVersion: 7.2.1

✓ No buenoTerrible update! Where do I find the traffic/construction/ accident notices?.BaloneyontheeastcoastVersion: 7.2.1

✓ Love WPTV, app needs lots of workLove WPTV but the app could really use work! Have had it since it came out and followed up with updates. Now crashes constantly half way through scrolling along with way too much strategically placed click bait. Also some editor's errors here and there that put a damper on the WPTV reputation. Nonetheless, WPTV still remains my go to...would just be much less frustrating if app could be improved!.AshRenfrowVersion: 6.18

✓ Overturned trailerI have lived in PBC since 1961, have watched News 5 my whole life, have driven a tractor trailer in So. Fla for 27 years all in So. Fla the people of our Area have no idea what it takes to deliver to our gas stations, grocery stores and big time businesses, I am disappointed in the a—hole you put on the 6 o’clock news about the overturned tanker, I would like to see him do a better job, please consider your viewers when you put BS like that on the news. Thanks.STS/SSVersion: 6.14.1

✓ To many click-bait adsAside from some valuable emergency news every once in a while, the app is riddled with click-bait links (Outbrain et al) that take over 50 “next page” clicks to get to the headline of interest. This is not news and delegitimizes WPTV5 as a news outlet. Also some of the pop-up notifications do not link you directly to the news you want and drop you in the main page for you to find the news of interest. Clean it up guys. It is good to have local news but not like this. Deleting the app..MamazongoVersion: 6.14.1

✓ Good start, repeating commercialsApp works well, but at the commercials it repeats the exact same commercial three times… I always end up switching to another app just to avoid seeing the same commercial three times IN A ROW. And volume is higher when it switches to commercials. Pretty annoying..Sleep2SoundsVersion: 6.40

✓ Fix your app it crashes 1/2 way through any article.Content is fine the app crashes half way through reading any article and the app needs to be shut down and restarted. So annoying .... time to down load WPBF’s app to see if works any better.Paulyp1973Version: 6.18

✓ Live weather radarI enjoy the news part of the app, but when I go to the live weather radar, there is no way for me to get back to the news stories. My iPad is frozen on the live radar. Help!.Eveything's TakenVersion: 6.15

✓ Traffic is stuck!This is the worst update! Really considering deleting it unless it's fixed right away. Everything runs into each other and cannot read. Used to my favorite app..GhostLeadVersion: 6.36

✓ Insufficient FunctionalityAfter all this time the “X” in the top left corner of every article still doesn’t work for my always updated iPhone. Nor does the article disappear if I swipe down. There is no “up” arrow for the articles so when I reach the bottom, I don’t have to scroll forever back to the top in order to press the “X” a random # of times before it finally catches. Fix all of those functionality issues and the app is 5 star, but at this stage it should work much, much better..Aspiring4AppleVersion: 6.43

✓ It was pretty balanced in the old daysToday it's extremely Republican... it has become just one political article after another disguised as "news". Even the simplest of things is phrased as partisan, with frequent articles praising surveillance and law enforcement -- to the point that we should treat convicted criminals who worked in law enforcement differently. Soooo many articles about combating homelessness (by driving them out), and non-citizen employment (by promoting harsh laws and penalties along with jails and employer penalties). You can keep your fascism, it's disgusting. I'm sad that the party I once considered legitimate has been corrupted to these hate-preaching fearmongering extremists..Rater1234Version: 6.24

✓ WeatherWhy do you people think we need a weather warning every 25 seconds. All you do is interrupt our programming! No other station is this annoying! You also exaggerate everything. Especially Mike Lyons. He needs to retire. Always making mountains out of molehills. Stopped watching you news totally. But really tired of you constant bar across the top of my screen from your never ending nonsense. Next complaint to ABC.HbtomeVersion: 6.13

✓ I Hate Wasted TimeThis app purports to have an "over-the-air" feature where you can access broadcast content in real time. That's also what was said in the promo which aired many times on the lead up to Hurricane Irma. Part of the pitch was that if you download the app you can watch on a personal device even after the power goes out. On opening it you are, in fact, presented with a YouTube-style video interface which says something like "WATCH LIVE." This is complete bunk! When the video finally loaded what we saw was from four hours earlier (per WPTV's own time display at the screen's bottom right). What's more there was no slider to advance or rewind the video. I tried it again this morning when there were no threatening conditions and much less demand, one would think. Same results, except now the delay was over twelve hours! Full disclosure - No other station has anything better to offer. What really burns me is how all these stations represent themselves as the most up-to-date, tech savvy operation in the market, when in fact even the engineers and IT guys are every bit as amateurish as the beginner reporters they foist on us. Do not waste your time! Especially when it really counts. Like in the teeth of a bad storm..ScizmVersion: 6.13

✓ Laughable"Thanks for supporting local journalism" it's NOT local... it's larger entities from abroad controlling parrots. You're only getting truth when it's related to anything that doesn't affect the narrative pushing towards a larger agenda... you want to support a "local" journalist support Tucker Carlson. That's REAL journalism that hits "HOME". These cowards will never exit their boxes. Money is their root. It's a shame these people aren't the heroes they were intended to be when their place was carved out during the formation of this country... but the app is a bit smoother... finally after a decade. And they want you to praise "them" for it!.Lady_WardVersion: 7.3
