MyNBC 5 - Vermont and New York for Negative User Reviews
✓ RatingApp is fine, but national news is always a day or more old. By the time I see it on your app, I’ve been seeing it for several days on other news sites or social media..Version: 5.13.801
✓ Poor local coverageStories are not updated very often. Very few local stories. At least the school closings are helpful!.Version: 5.13.252
✓ Alerts are the only goodThe only thing good about the app is the push alerts. Other then that the formatting on how information is presented does not flow well. You should check out others in the area how they have their app setup. Lots of irrelevant info. :(.Version: 5.13.242
✓ Behind the timesSeems as though for the major news agency in the area it would be more up to date. Lots of old stories that never get taken down and new stories that never seem to make it on the app until it is too late. Very slow in updating the stories and miss many relevant stories.Version: 5.15.244
✓ Weekends need helpWe often try to watch the 6pm news on the weekend. It is often the case that when we tune in at 6pm we get a recording of the morning broadcast or nothing at all. It’s disappointing but we can move on to another station to get the news. I also think you need to change the title of your lead ‘First Warning Weather.’ It always sounds like ‘First Morning Weather.’ Maybe make it ‘First Alert Forecast’ or ‘Your WPTZ Forecast.’ It needs a change..Version: 5.15.375
✓ A pain in my sideI got the app to follow the Dannemora escapee situation. The alerts were relevant and welcome. Now, I find the alerts are too frequent, hardly alert-worthy and sometimes, not even news. Add to this the app is awkward and difficult to navigate. Most of the time the alert has no follow up within the app. Also, I find it disturbing that you allow advertisements which try to appear to be news stories themselves. Certainly, I've known people who believe the "hooks" at the "top" of these ads to be actual news. And then you embed them in between your real news items. As an entity that prides itself on informing the population I'd think this would be offensive to you, as it is to me. I've intended to delete this app, but so far haven't taken the time to do it. This has just given me the impetus to get it done. So...goodbye..Version: 5.6.2
✓ Big use of battery and spaceThis app uses a lot of battery, and space, on my iPad... unnecessarily, in my opinion. I have tried to limit, or eliminate, background access to the app but have not been able to do that to my satisfaction. I still see 5-6 hours of battery usage when my iPad has been off for most of the day. As a northern New Yorker, I use the app only for its weather section (which is good, therefore some stars). It would be nice if there was a way of emptying the app and controlling the background usage. As it is, I delete the app regularly, then have to set it up again..Version: 5.13.934
✓ NewsToo much Vermont news what about N.Y.?.Version: 5.13.614
✓ AddsWhen Parker Chevrolet is gone, let me know. Parker won’t be there because the app no longer loads on my ipad..Version: 5.15.244
✓ Rating wptzVery biased reporting. Too many irrelevant out of region stories..Version: 5.15.244
✓ Sensationalized BroadcastingThis app and broadcast is just full of sensationalized information… especially the morning weather broadcast. Full of misinformation and volcanic style broadcasting to scare viewers. What happened with those cataclysmic storms and predictions that never seem to unfold? Just download a national weather app (for accuracy) and other local news apps. Also, the continued use of the micro aggression, “guys”, is a symbol of exclusion on your customer base rather than inclusion. Didn’t you get the memo? 🤦♀️.Version: 5.15.928
✓ IssuesSomeone needs to do a better job editing/proofreading before posting stories. There’s been a number of times I have found spelling errors or misplaced words. It looks unprofessional. The app has often frozen when I’m trying to view a particular story. I’ve had to shut down the app and then open it back up. Otherwise it’s a decent app..Version: 5.13.926
✓ WeatherThe old weather format was MUCH better. I could see sections at a glance, not have to scroll through constantly. Everything else is five star..Version: 5.13.252
✓ NewsWhen watching the news there's seems to be a time limit and then it times outs asking if I want to continue. Very annoying . I enjoy watching the news wether it's live or on demand. I don't however, like the repeated commercials. They run to long with the same advertisers ad. Mixing it up a little with your advertisers would make the wait time for the viewer more bearable..Version: 5.6.3
✓ HorribleJust like the news channel, the app is awful. Unorganized and cluttered with ugly ads. How about upgrading their cameras to HD!.Version: 4.9.4
✓ Old weather app was better.All I use the app for is weather. The old one that is “going away” is better. This one is difficult to use and hard to see. Who puts white text over white clouds? The icons depicting what the weather will be hour by hour are horrible. It’s too bad, I really liked the old one and used it all the time. Maybe if they actually read the reviews and fixed some of the problems it would be tolerable..Version: 5.12.65
✓ ReA somewhat local read however, truly biased in reporting..Version: 5.13.996
✓ So soWould be nice when you get an alert and open the app to read it that the app wasn’t totally black! Even after closing and reopening, the article is rarely there that was on the alert!.Version: 5.13.535
✓ Not much interest in itFew articles of interest—way too few local news articles. Can’t cast to TV only air-play which only works half the time. Weather up-dates aren’t up to date. They are often hours behind. Needs lots of improvement in how it is used not in it’s physical operation. Everything seems to function fine and easy to switch back and forth..Version: 5.15.375
✓ Weather deptWptz needs to adjust there temperature map of the 10 day forecast.a lot of my co workers and myself find the nightly temp hard to discern,it should be moved to where it’s between day highs and not below ,will be less confusing for your viewing audience.I’ve been watching since bird berdan,should be an easy fix, thank you.Version: 5.15.244
✓ It's simply "okay"Overall, the app is functional. However, many news stories are repeated 2 or 3 times on the same page. It appears to be done to fill in empty space and hide the fact that this news app is not a priority. Also, the news stories rarely update on weekends and during the week, only seem to update around the time the stories are broadcast on the network. Not really the breaking news-type of app that I had hoped for..Version: 4.6
✓ Baby formulaWhy don’t you tell the people that the government has warehouses full of formula for the illegals coming across the boarder.Version: 5.15.873
✓ Review after the latest updateJust deleted the app. Worth zero stars.Version: 5.11.29
✓ Ok app/ too many adsI hated this app when it first changed but it does give you limited North Country News. The format does not flow well and I still find myself having to work at finding local news. Way too many Ads that stay the same for months. Same video ad over and over each time you watch a video. Very annoying. Pages do not get updated enough, especially on weekends. Ex: after Kentucky Derby there was news about before the race for a week or two. Come on you can do better than that. Lately the Venus Williams story has been on there for ever! Please it's not news if it's weeks old..Version: 5.15.93
✓ Liked their old appThis has too much irrelevant information....Version: 5.13.1
✓ Updates have made this app unusableTwo updates ago we lost our ability to read each topic- it switched to video only. The last update left me with a gray screen and no info loading..Version: 5.13.868
✓ Needs some workYour new site needs some work... a lot of it. The user experience is frustrating, confusing and downright unfriendly. The basic layout is unorganized with various sections poorly delineated and subject articles repeated in several sections. Choice of fonts and sizes are poor. The overall layout is confusing. I have actually stopped visiting the site which is a shame because the older version was much better and this new one just drives me crazy..Version: 5.5.1
✓ Needs improvementsIt’s the only game in town here in Vermont. So it should work flawlessly (the app crashes from time to time), and the news bulletins should be relevant. Im not interested in being alerted on “feel-good” stories. I’m also not interested in being alerted on news that’s happened 3 or more days ago and has already been aired on WPTZ-TV. Please don’t use the notifications as an advertising gimmick!.Version: 5.13.223
✓ WPTZ AppThe app sends me an notification and when I slide on it, half the time it crashes and doesn’t open. Please fix it..Version: 5.15.244
✓ Bob, PlattsburghBeen watching WPRZ since the early 50s when everything was black & white & snowy. We could only get 2 channels at the time. We lived in the Adirondacks & TV 5 was OUR NY station. Many years have passed & sorry to say - OUR stationed has changed. TV 5 would be appropriately be called the Vermont Station these days. NY gets very little coverage now compared to even a few years ago. We need a prison escape or huge ice storm before that happens. You get where I’m going with this? My rant is over now..Version: 5.13.801
✓ Hope you have awhileWhen I try to pop on and catch the weather quick, or see a alert or breaking news, yeah that’s not happening. First you go to a ad...which most of the time takes forever to load, then maybe you will get where you want to go. I rated it, because I really want a app with my local news and weather. I hope it improves..Version: 5.15.474
✓ Do not like the layoutThe presentation is too busy and not well laid out. Trying to locate news stories can be fatiguing..Version: 5.15.244
