The WICS News app delivers news, weather and sports in an instant. With the new and fully redesigned app you can watch live newscasts, get up-to-the minute local and national news, weather and traffic conditions and stay informed via notifications alerting you to breaking news and local events.
• Breaking news alerts and stories
• Live streaming
• New weather section with hourly and daily forecasts
• Live weather radar and traffic information
• Completely overhauled app that is faster and easier to use
This app is similar to their live news. It distracts people from Springfield crime, controversy, and issues by presenting negative news from surrounding communities. There is also ridiculous “clickbait” stories that apparently must help pay this app’s bills.
App needs update!
App is poor quality. Has all the local news you need and want however navigating the app and videos is bad enough to not use it.
Useless
Just installed to track local news and it did nothing except say to refresh it. What a waste of time.
Not current
I just opened it on Sunday 10 pm. The headlines were all from Wednesday. Four day old news has no possible value to me.
Constant crashes
*****CODE RED ALERT*****
Access to local news ceases to exist bc latest app crashes before newsfeed loads.
Guess I shouldn’t expect a useful app from a company willing to terminate their best employees.
WICS Ch 20 is CODE DEAD
Delete the news and their weather apps. Email and call all advertisers to advise them to pull any ad $$$. Show them the viewers are behind Joe Crain and his objective criticism of their asinine CODE RED weather alerts. Tell the advertisers to move to WAND and WCIA as that is were the viewers are going in protest.
Suggestion
Love the app but can I make a suggestion? Add landscape viewing mode for use on iPad. Thanks!!
Spammy at best
Every single time I try to look at anything on this app, I get a pop up about winning a free phone. Such a lovely gesture... I’ll use the new phone to look at ANY news app besides this one.
Won't work with<10 iOS
I have an older iPad and iPod and the current version work on either. Both devices are 9.x.x iOS and can't upgrade to 10.x.x.
Best local news app
It's quite amazing how nice this app looks for a small town news station. I will definitely be getting my news from you since you made such a good effort on your iPhone app.
