I know that I can’t tune in the EyeOpener News right now, but I do get my forecast for the town that’s not mentioned on the show…Shrewsbury. We always tune in to your noon, 4, and sometimes 11 pm News on weekdays and 5pm News on weekends when there’s no football coverage + EyeOpener News at 10:30 am on Sundays. I’ll see you folks later today at noon for your newscast. Kenneth A Huang 9/13/2022. PS: I MAY NOT FORECAST THE WEATHER IN SHREWSBURY LIKE MIKE, KELLY, DAVID, CINDY, OR AJ, BUT I CAN ALWAYS LEARN. Just focus on the town you live in. THAT’S IMPORTANT. Kenneth Huang 9/25/2023. PRETTY SOON, WCVB WILL REACH 55 YEARS IN THE YEAR 2027, AND I PLAN TO SEE THAT THIS STATION CAN MAKE IT THERE. I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN SHREWSBURY, MASS. FOR OVER 30 YEARS. Besides, I’d like to find out the weather in this city. WCVB ALWAYS CONCENTRATES ON BOSTON & WORCESTER. Kenneth Huang. 12/10/24. -- kh 1968, 2024-12-10 ### *---- "Bias Bias Bias" This app or whoever is the person that post news….splits posting and they are cut off or hard to read. Like MSM it’s just as bad. -- Bosstg1, 2024-11-07 ### *---- "Forced to do it" For some reason, my app is not working properly. Every time it comes to the first commercial break, the screen goes black and that is it. No more news. It's been slowly getting shorter and shorter time before the whole thing stops on me. I've sent several "bug fix" inquiries to WCVB with no response. I've deleted the app. Reinstalled the app a couple of times, shut down my phone, rebooted it. Nothing has helped. I hope they get this fixed. It is such a disappointment because I really enjoy watching on my phone since I'm usually not able to watch the live broadcast on TV.. -- cosmogirl 143, 2024-11-07 ### *---- "Glitchy" App frequently (almost always) returns to the home screen after opening an article or the weather page, usually within a few seconds. Sometimes it reloads that page a few times and then quits. Very bad app that has gotten worse, not better, over the last few revisions. -- T-Zski, 2024-11-06 ### *---- "Uninstalled. Serious privacty issues. And left wing propaganda." They just updated their terms of service which now includes agreeing to let them sell your personal information and location data to third parties. Nope. -- msbav8r53, 2024-10-23 ### ***** "Best channel in the area!" We used to watch another local channel and the anchors had a good rapport! But we switched to WCVB and they have the BEST rapport of any channel we have ever watched! Lately we watch from 4pm to 6pm then watch David Muir . We also enjoy your noontime crew. You are the BEST! I’m not surprised some people go from WCVB to national news. -- maobrass, 2024-10-11 ### *---- "iOS 17 update failure" The app constantly crashes after every article read! -- MrGrizzlyBear, 2024-09-17 ### **--- "News stories cut out and return to home page" News stories stop in the beginning and/or middle (for both reading & video) and the app returns to the home page. This has been going on for several months, even after deleting and downloading the app again. Very frustrating as I like WCVB and prefer to get news and weather there. Seems to be a common problem. PLEASE FIX THIS APP. -- Bwaterbabe, 2024-09-14 ### ***** "My Channel 5 App" There isn’t one single thing that this app doesn’t excel at. News, weather, traffic, sports and breaking news. I will never use any other app -- BRMacD, 2024-09-09 [View all WCVB NewsCenter 5 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## WCVB NewsCenter 5 Discovered Keywords - boston - boston news - boston herald - boston com - wbz news - whdh 7 weather - 7 news boston - boston weather - cbs boston - t boston ## Apps Similar to WCVB NewsCenter 5 - [WBUR](https://apptail.io/app/wbur-zG/united-states) - [The Boston Globe ePaper](https://apptail.io/app/the-boston-globe-epaper-AfP/united-states) - [The Boston Globe](https://apptail.io/app/the-boston-globe-BfP/united-states) - [necn: New England Local News](https://apptail.io/app/necn-new-england-local-news-fgP/united-states) - [NBC10 Boston: News & Weather](https://apptail.io/app/nbc10-boston-news-weather-ggP/united-states) - [Boston.com](https://apptail.io/app/bostoncom-rgP/united-states) - [7 News HD - Boston News Source](https://apptail.io/app/7-news-hd-boston-news-source-YgP/united-states) - [Boston 25 News Live](https://apptail.io/app/boston-25-news-live-ZgP/united-states) - [Worcester Telegram & Gazette](https://apptail.io/app/worcester-telegram-gazette-ijP/united-states) - [News Channel 5 Nashville](https://apptail.io/app/news-channel-5-nashville-eVAb/united-states) ## WCVB NewsCenter 5 Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/wcvb-newscenter-5-boston-egP/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/wcvb-newscenter-5-boston-egP/canada) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/wcvb-newscenter-5-boston-egP/brazil) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
