WRIC 8News - Richmond, VA for Negative User Reviews
✓ Notification numberMy notification number will not clear even after I open the app. The number is just building up..Version: 5.9
✓ Why can’t we share?Why are all stories not shareable?.Version: 41.0.3
✓ Problems with this appI enjoy reading the news on this app but I have problems with it crashing, locking up and disappearing entirely when I’m reading a story. Very frustrating ..Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ Love the appI enjoy the app because it keeps me up to date with I mean ALL of the local news, but it kicks me out everytime I use it. It’s annoying, I wish they would fix the bugs to prevent it from doing so...Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ Ruined itThis was a good app that I used often. Especially liked the map weather feature. Now that’s gone. App not as user friendly. Can’t choose what to see first. More ads and poor map feature. Very disappointed. Won’t be using this app anymore..Version: 40.30.410039696
✓ Constant lock-ups and crashesCrashes constantly since the latest IOS update. Was my Go-To news app but now it has been unusable for over a month..Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ Storm trackerStorm tracker Apps not working And get back on direct tv.Version: 40.33.530045950
✓ Too much advertising!I used to really like this app. But now, I can't click on an article without having to close out a pop-up advertisement. This happens with every news story! Sadly, I will be using other news app which allows me to read the article without the pop-ups..Version: 5.11
✓ BiasAll news stations are reporting the news in a bias sensational manner to instill fear and promote their ratings. No good journalism or reporting of just the facts anymore. I assure you that if you went back to just reporting the news your viewership would soar!.Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ Old app was MUCH BETTER!The old app was great! The new app is horrible. Going to use the NBC 12 weather app now..Version: 14.24.21
✓ BiasedIt give news, but I do notice many of its articles are very biased and provide subjective and/or incomplete information. Now I understand why so many people are misinformed. Bring back journalists who are fair, balanced, and do accurate unbiased reporting..Version: 40.30.410039696
✓ Black screenEvery time I try to open the app. I only have a black screen. Nothing ever populates. I only get notifications. That’s it..Version: 41.10.1
✓ Shuts downI used to like the app , but last few weeks it shuts down within seconds of opening the app , I've deleted and re-installed it and it continues.Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ App Ignores Notification PreferencesThis app is a fine news app, but if you’re someone who likes control of notifications, don’t get it. Within the settings on the app, you can pick what type of notifications you want to get — traffic, local news, weather, breaking news, sports, etc. However, the app ignores your selections in those settings and notifies you of everything. So it’s an all-or-nothing proposition with notifications. As a result, you will get about 10 notifications per day about everything from a new hot chocolate recipe to a traffic accident on a road you never travel, to a robbery at a nearby store. It’s all too much for me, uninstalled..Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ AverageUp to date. Quality of writing abysmal. Useful Community feature. Cannot find tech support, so will mention here. National andInternational News have been infested with a photo portrait of a young, dark haired woman for about a month now. I had hoped ABC8 would have noticed this and fixed it!.Version: 4.11.5
✓ Crashes/FreezesApp crashes and freezes almost every time I use it. I love WRIC and prefer to follow/watch/read WRIC but it’s a tad frustrating when the app continually crashes..Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ 8 news app, older version easierWell I haven't finished exploring all areas. I'm disappointed with the weather part the older version was so much easier to navigate. Things like humidity and dew point was easy to find, the newest version humidity is buried and it takes a while to get to, forget trying to find Dew Point! Wish they would change that..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Number notification is BROKEN!!!I've had this app for a long time, but just recently the number notification (red # on the app icon) has just been increasing! At first, I thought, no biggie because I usually read the news at least once, sometimes twice a day. But the past 2 days have been crazy, and my number has jumped to 33! I'm annoyed that I can't dismiss it now. They need to fix this ASAP!! 😩😖.Version: 5.9
✓ News coverageExcellent at times and needs work too. Overall good news.Version: 40.33.550047251
✓ Lots of ads everywhere on the appThe content of the app in regards to news is great. There are so many ads everywhere though. I click on the notifications and it takes me into the app but first I have to look at a full screen ad that has to be swiped away before I can read the story. Also some of the ads that are persistent on every screen are those real low quality click bait ads like “do this one trick to lose 50 lbs”..Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ Splash screen ad resets storiesAd splash screen on load sometimes resets news story and article I am interested disappears.Version: 40.34.230049455
✓ App is UnstableThe app is unstable and buggy. It constantly hangs while loading pages, forces itself to quit, becomes unresponsive for 5+ seconds, and I have had it render my phone useless until i did a forced shutdown of the entire device. The articles are diverse and written with higher quality than NBC12 or CBS6, but this app must’ve been designed as a beta. Far too unpolished to be taken seriously as a fully-developed app..Version: 40.34.380050616
✓ Keeps Opening Internet BrowserThe app is relatively well organized and easy to navigate. However, I’m taking 3 stars off of my rating because it keeps opening my internet browser when I use it. When I tap on and open an article in the app, it’ll subsequently open my internet browser, open a new tab, and pull up a blank page. It only recently started doing this, and not only is it obnoxious, but it also feels like a huge security risk. If the developers fixed this issue, I’d happily give the app a 5 star rating. Until then, 2 stars it is..Version: 41.9.0
✓ App stinksChannel 8 if you are listening you need to change the weather back to way it was on the old app. This new app is horrible. I use other apps to check the weather now..Version: 14.24.21
✓ Ad service needs help, other issues.SO many ads, some are for strip clubs. Seriously. Also, ads take over page. I put up with it for a while, but finally deleted and went to a competitor with a better app tonight when the videos in the news stories took over my device’s audio automatically. I couldn’t read the news and listen to music no matter what I did..Version: 41.14.0
✓ Crash/freezeYour app always freezes up and then closes right in the middle of an article ...it always does it and your notifications don’t take you to what the notification says when you click on it and then when you do click on some notifications...poof the article is no longer available, where did it go like the title said on the notification it was breaking news well so important that it’s not there anymore!!! Fix this crappy app , a child could do a better job than whoever developed this crap!!!.Version: 40.34.380050616
