WPRI 12 News - Providence, RI for Negative User Reviews
✓ Joke of a news app should be under joke sectionPEOPLE DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You people who approve video ads in your app are discussing your only worry is money. Here we have a POLICE OFFCER get shot and killed and his K9 also get injured who is a POLICE OFFICER. You have a video to say what happened but no you need to watch a video ad so your just saying you don’t give a S#%^ your just worried about the money. This app should be listed under joke section..Version: 14.24.00031602
✓ By all means not perfect but gets me the weather most timesApp could be better if it actually worked all the time when it’s supposed to. I’ll be watching the live broadcast when it just starts and one story later it stops. Sometimes restarting it helps sometimes it doesn’t. By now you’d think the app had it together. Wish it would give me the entire broadcast the bits of it. When it works, it works. Frustrating!.Version: 41.13.0
✓ Bring back the old!Do not like the interface on this new version. Previous version so much easier to navigate. Old version you could see dates of articles, not on this version. Liked how they listed articles on left and you old choose which to open. No longer possible with new version. Definitely a major step down from previous. Guess I will not be using this app anymore. Here comes NBC10! Update May2018. Came back to the app with this new update. It stinks. Please please get rid of Providence Auto body. Will never go there now. Also can’t watch a video, constant loop of ads. Like the article set up but have tried multiple times to watch a video to no avail..Version: 14.24.00031602
✓ Needs an updateI have been having trouble with the app pausing and starting up again. I used to live in Rhode Island and would like to be able to see the news without the interruptions. Please fix it..Version: 40.35.480056524
✓ ReviewConstantly having issues watching the weather forecast..... used to be able to click on “weather” and you could watch the forecast, now you need to scroll threw “weather” and hope that you find what your looking for and hope the video downloads and not just refresh every time you hit the icon to play and it doesn’t play only to refresh itself. I did love this feature being that I never seen to be able to catch the weather live time wise. Hopefully, it’ll go back to that set up.Version: 40.33.400045069
✓ Way Too Many AdsThere are almost as many ads as there are news stories and they are in very annoying places such as the middle of the page. Also when scrolling to view other stories the page has a tendency to refresh and go back to the top, thus losing your spot. Overall it’s just an o.k. site and no more annoying than any other websites I visit..Version: 40.34.380050597
✓ Providence auto body add and can’t swipe story’s anymoreLike the app but the providence auto body app in the beginning is annoying. And since last update I can’t swipe through stories any more..Version: 40.33.400045069
✓ GlitchyWhile I love the content and format, the app is completely glitchy. More often than not pages freeze.Version: 41.6.0
✓ The Worst!This, by far, is one of the worst news apps on the Apple platform. Slow loading, giant ads, videos that take forever to load and won’t close. I just want to read the local news, not be bombarded with unwanted, intrusive content and ADS..Version: 41.4.0
✓ Used to love the app, now not so sure.1. Hate the ridiculous Providence Auto Body ad EVERY. SINGLE. TIME you open the app. It used to be just once a day and then you wouldn't see it again. I’ll tell you one thing, you aren’t helping them increase business. In fact, because of it being forced in my face I would NEVER go there!!! My husband and daughter have chosen other local news app WITHOUT ridiculous pop-up ads and deleted WPRI. About to lose me too!! 2. Also dislike that when checking the weather the forecast starts playing on its own....and LOUDLY. It was fine before when I could choose to play it IF i wanted to....not sure why this changed?!?! Many times I just want to read the forecast so I know how to plan for the day. Don’t use it at work anymore since it automatically plays now.....unprofessional. If these 2 things were fixed I’d give it 5 stars. Until then....not happening!!!.Version: 14.28.19
✓ Providence auto body! Really!Old app was better. Why is the providence auto body pop still there!!! Can’t even look at the weather without an insane amount of pop ups. Don’t waist your time there’s better local news apps..Version: 14.24.00031602
✓ Loaded with advertisementsAwful app, loaded with advertisements! From the autobody app in the beginning to the lady with the low cut shirt baiting me to click. What a joke news WPRI is when all they care about is ad’s and not the news..Version: 41.0.3
✓ HmmThe last update did away with PiP, which came in handy for me. Maybe one of the other news sources for the area would look at this?.Version: 41.0.2
✓ ViewerToo many blank times during commercials, News does not seem to come on right away many times, after commercials breaks..Version: 40.33.550047031
✓ Last update bug.I loved this app until the last update. I use it for news and weather and now it will not open the detailed 7 day forecast. Please fix it's driving me crazy. After it is fixed I would give four stars..Version: 40.35.400054406
✓ (Can't) "Reportit"The "Reportit" feature is very frustrating and not user friendly. To start off, you have to scroll way down to find the link. (shouldn't it be up top?) If you take too long entering all the information or, if you have to leave the app briefly, it kicks you out and deletes everything. It also doesn't tell you if your submission was successfully sent. After attaching a video from my library it didn't show the attachment in the box and all the information I had entered just disappeared. No confirmation or anything. So, I have no idea if it went through or not. If you think this review is confusing, try submitting a (story)..Version: 40.34.260049996
✓ Can’t watch the broadcast without constant pop up adsThis app is awful. Constant pop up ads, even during the livestream of their newscast. If you want to do ads, do it every 3-5 minutes. But every 30 seconds (as it seems) is just overkill. I’d gladly pay for an ad-free app over this one. This app is just about unusable due to all the pop ups..Version: 14.24.00031602
✓ ReviewWebsite not as good as it used to be. Same News stories stay on website for days..Version: 40.33.400045069
✓ AdvertisementI like the app and the up to date news you provide but that first advertisement from Providence auto body that you have to move out of your way to see anything sometimes makes me not want to go on your app. I know it seems small but I'm often at work when I want to see your app but have very little time..Version: 14.28.19
✓ So so.......The Providence Auto Body ad that pops up each time is annoying. Also when you click on “weather” the meteorologist begins speaking right away which can be quite loud when in a quiet place..Version: 14.28.19
✓ Video playing automaticallyI just want to read the story and play video at my choice, app is playing video automatically when you click on a story, even with my phone on vibrate it plays sound! Can’t use at work or at night for fear of video playing with sound and disturbing others..Version: 40.35.290053029
