WDTN 2 News for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs ImprovementWDTN is the channel I’ve watched for years, but if I watch it on the app, it skips and repeats way too often, or it just shuts down. My daughter heard it doing it and asked if it annoyed me. I told her yes. I’ve started watching WHIO on their app because their’s doesn’t do that..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Really BadPlease go back to the old app. This one is confusing, hard to find departments and doesn't offer news, closings or sports where they are readily accessible. A big step backwards.Version: 14.24.21
✓ Video Auto StartI don’t mind the app BUT I can’t stand how videos automatically start. It is super annoying when I’m trying to check out the weather forecast, for example, and the video starts blaring (especially when I’m trying to use the app inconspicuously)..Version: 40.35.340053423
✓ Recent changes are horribleFull screen pop up ads along with layout that shows no news at launch = deleted. Going back to WHIO app..Version: 40.30.410039677
✓ Don't force me to sign up for alertsWas a good app until you forced me to sign up for alerts and updates. I don't need another app letting me know weather and news updates. Should be my choice but that was taken away with the latest update. Only choice I had was to delete app and move on. You took away my choice as a consumer..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Change is not always goodGo back to the old layout. This one is horrible..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Change isn't always a good thingYou missed the boat with this update. Pop up ads and too long to load..Version: 14.24.21
✓ BREAKING NEWS...THIS APP BLOWS.Version: 14.24.21
✓ Filled with Ads & Poor Audio ControlThis ap is filled with cheesy and misleading ads for miracle cures, etc. Not what I want in a news ad. Also, audio automatically plays when you click on a news story—even when you turn your sound off. Volume must be on lowest level and sound off. Competing news channel app much better..Version: 40.35.570057525
✓ Love channel two!Jack Pohl, Brian, Mark are fabulous!.Version: 40.30.410039677
✓ Hate itI liked being able to scroll thru headlines and decide what I want to open at a glance. Used to be my favorite - deleting.Version: 14.24.21
✓ IOS 8 update please..no auto videosApp crashing, videos play on clicking an article, unable to see the article. If I wanted to watch the news I would do so. I don't want to see the videos and not be able to read the news..Version: 40.35.480056418
✓ App stinks!!!!!Why do so many news apps need to have so many worthless ads?.Version: 40.35.340053423
✓ No “Live Feed”The “live feed” does not work. I tried to watch The 6 pm while I was away from the house and it was not working. I even tried when I got back to the house and it still did not work. Weak app.Version: 40.35.570057525
✓ Alert FatigueAs described in other reviews, the interface isn’t nearly as slick and intuitive as it could be. But the big problem, in my view, is with push notifications. Just because you *can* send your users a news alert doesn’t mean you *should*. I appreciate the occasional alert related to a specific local traffic or weather event or to a significant breaking news story. But please don’t use push notifications to remind me to watch your impending newscast, or to tease some inane story, or to announce that Jeopardy is starting a half-hour early to accommodate special Olympics coverage. It’s obnoxious, and each extraneous alert brings me a little closer to deleting the app. Please exercise a little restraint..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Old is betterPrefer previous version I don't like clicking through to read headlines. Keep al on one page.Version: 14.24.21
✓ Not going to use itNothing about this update is good. It doesn't work either. I've been a loyal 2News follower for many years but this "upgrade" coupled with the horrid spelling and grammar that 2News allows was the last straw..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Don’t waste your time if you don’t like being blasted with adsThis used to be me go to local news app in Dayton. At some point they introduced auto playing ads that come on at full volume, regardless if your phone is on silent or not. Automatic app delete, if that kind of garbage design is the approach being taken. I’m not anti-ads on a free app, but that kind of approach gets one star (and zero if I could)..Version: 40.35.290053026
✓ AwfulStories are not updated. Headlines are misleading. Pathetic app.Version: 14.24.21
✓ WDTNAbsolutely awful format! Very difficult to navigate, very little content. Not worth using the app..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Mazda overloadSick and tired of all the Mazda car ads interspersed with news articles....Version: 40.35.220051924
✓ Horrible appThis app will play video at full volume even when you don’t select a video. You can’t read a news story without it automatically playing the video at full volume. Some people in the world would rather read than watch. Don’t force someone to watch crap they don’t want to watch. I deleted this app after having it for over 10 years. Ridiculous.Version: 40.35.290053026
✓ Not newsJust watched something on are president and what the headline said had nothing to do with the interview. so not gun friendly or country friendly news source.Version: 40.35.420055141
✓ Horrible News app!Too many ads, difficult to navigate, fails to open or crashes 70% of the time. There are other local news apps that are much better!.Version: 14.24.21
✓ WeatherVery difficult to navigate to weather forecast without having to watch video.Version: 40.34.260049991
✓ Minimal sportsNice recap of local news. Sports heading still has Operation Football. Not any current high school scores or stories. Minimal College or professional news either..Version: 40.30.410039677
✓ Poor DesignNavigating on this app is a nightmare. Hard to dismiss ads and actually get to the stories. After all this work I’d love to get more than 1 or 2 sentences about the story. Using it less and less and relying on other sources..Version: 41.11.0
✓ Fraudulent!UPDATE for current version: this app is still pretty worthless a great example is the closing a page. Version before last, the list was alphabetized. So if looking for kettering, go straight to K. Looking for West Carrollton? Go through to W. Not anymore. You have to scroll down the massive list one at a time to find closings. If I wanted to waste my time, I would turn on channel 2 and watch the whole list. PREVIOUS review: Avoid this app. When you use it, every little bit (about every 3-4 pages viewed) the app suddenly takes you to the App Store to different apps. One I keep getting sent to is a hunting game. Another is some photo program. Every time this happens, WDTN is getting $$ for a "referral", the same as if you click on an ad. If I ef'ing want to view an ad, I will click on it. If I want a stupid hunting game, I am perfectly capable of finding it myself. I find this to be insulting and nothing less than fraud. WDTN is making money each time this happens. AVOID! Hopefully the WHIO app does not copy this behavior..Version: 5.1
✓ Not impressedIt's too busy and not as easy to find different departments. Also, in the weather section, I liked reading what the meteorologist had to say as they were informative about when the rain would arrive or when the cold front was coming through, etc. I found that to be helpful..Version: 14.24.21
✓ God awful!Don't put more money in this. It can't be salvaged. Unorganized, can't find anything, just awful. Ch 7 isn't perfect, but they have the idea. They just let you scroll through news titles, and you can cover a lot of news fast. THATS the goal. Speed. Even your television station is losing viewership because of taking too long to deliver stories, and mindless interviews no one cares about. "5 on 2" is a ridiculous idea." Ch7 does one big thing wrong - they mix national stories into local stories and u don't realize you've clicked on Atlanta news til it's too late. Otherwise good app. Simplify, feed news fast, and people will return. Even B Davis takes too long..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Not Impressed eitherYou should have left a good thing alone. You also need to teach people how to proofread their articles and use spell check. It is horrible the misspelling of words and the in ability to construct a sentence..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Awful - download WHIO insteadWorst app on my phone right now.Version: 40.28.190036497
✓ Try again.This layout doesn't work for me. If another version isn't out soon I'll be using other sources for my news..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Not greatThe layout is awful. I view WHIO because I’d the ease of use. I want it all up front. I don’t want to hunt. WDTN app is worst. I watch it on TV only..Version: 40.33.550047026
✓ NotificationsPlease stop sending an update every hour!! I receive up to 5-8 updates a day!! Sometimes more! They are no more informative than regular news. The actual info is fine, but low rating for all the time it takes to delete them in my mail. Now I’m deleting one more- the app!.Version: 40.33.400045048
✓ Confusing and not easyNot user friendly, info hard to navigate to find..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Works fairI have a iPad error. Every time I turn this on it says slide up and when I do it says weight and sometimes it never comes on he just wait need some work done on other times it stops for no reason sometimes it comes back on sometimes it doesn’t. It’s either the cable service or the app..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Automatic Video PlayThis was my number one go to for news. Now when I click a link, it automatically plays the video associated with the topic - so annoying. If I wanted to watch the video, I’d tune into your news cast. This is a great way to wake your kids from a nap, as it isn’t user friendly when you try to quickly pause it before it’s too late. Well, it’s always too late. Will be deleting because of this..Version: 40.35.340053423
✓ ReviewTooTo political only one sided very far left all news people need to really rethink it and be fair people all you talk about was the opposite person running for president how wonderful they are well let’s see what a great job they can’t do.Version: 40.35.570057525
✓ UghI don't like the changes. I hardly use anymore. Not impressed at all..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Horrid nowApp used to be ok. New update absolutely blows. Hate it now.Version: 14.24.21
✓ Notifications Settings are brokenI downloaded this app for weather notifications. I configured the in app settings for only weather notifications but I get notifications for everything. I checked and I double checked the notification settings over and over again to make sure the only setting that was turned on was for weather notifications but I still get notifications for everything. It is so annoying and frustrating to be alerted several times an hour about stuff that I didn’t intend to use this app for..Version: 40.34.260049991
✓ Embarrassingly LeftThey have become so liberal and one sided and biased! I only have the App for breaking news and I like Jamie for weather!.Version: 40.35.570057525
