## WHIO News Reviews in United States

### *---- "Too Many Ads"
The content is good. However, the app is so burdened with poorly developed ads that my iPhone locks up every time I try to use it. Dayton Now performs much better.
-- paulcman, 2026-07-25

### *---- "App freezes or completely shuts the app"
Always glitching and freezing and shutting me out.
-- Ashly1984, 2026-07-24

### **--- "Poor rating reason"
My sub stellar review is due to the inconsistency in information posted. Some stories stay up for months. Many important local matters are not posted at all. News from many counties away are posted as “local” and real local stories are ignored.
The Right wing takeover of CBS has definitely shown itself in the stories posted.
-- N0YB22, 2026-07-23

### ***-- "Slow to load and often doesn’t"
I wish this app was better and not so slow.  All my other apps are super fast to load and never fail to load.  Come on WHIO, fix this mess.
-- Shieldska, 2026-07-20

### *---- "Worst news app ever"
I’ve never seen a worse app on any platform.  It’s nothing but ads that block what you try to see, stutter, stop you reading a story, and just generally get in the way of anything you want to do.  Whio used to be my go-to.  Not anymore.
-- Racktree, 2026-07-09

### *---- "Horrible UI/UX and News Coverage"
As a mobile developer I can attest to many of the comments on the user experience front. You receive a notification, tap on it, you are brought to the app but not the story, instead ads are everywhere takes forever to load and the auto playing of unrelated content is absolutely horrible. Good luck finding the arrival of the deep link isn’t valid. Don’t waste your time if you want a functional user interface, or you want a smooth user experience.

The news platform is ridiculous, days late on news from around the nation if it’s relevant, click bait style notifications, vague content descriptions, something like “Country music star files for divorce after 10 years” incredible click bait. Just say who it is, being cryptic is absurd. Oh yeah, don’t worry you received that notification today, you’ll get it again in 4-5 days incredibly annoying but let’s not forget this specific notification already happened days ago.
-- iCodeUrLife, 2026-06-21

### *---- "Do better"
Not impressed with your news reporting techniques and skills these days.
-- Buggeredupbaby, 2026-06-15

### **--- "No Coverage"
June 4 Medicare Fraud Meeting in Columbus. FBI, State Attorney present. 
$50 Million illegal funding discovered in Medicare payments in Ohio!
-- Rt On !, 2026-06-14

### *---- "Too many ads"
The WHIO app is awful. The news is old and no one seems to know how to proofread!

The lack of coverage on sports has been nonexistent. 

There should be an easy and in your face way to access WHIO of news in real time and it is difficult to find. It seems to be easier to upload storm/weather photos than it is to report accidents etc.
-- Stolen-blind, 2026-06-11

### ***** "Great info"
Love Todd So I watch all of whip
-- Jade dude, 2026-05-27
