## WITN News Reviews in United States

### *---- "Do not recommend"
Rude, disrespectful and uncaring employees who don’t care about a family’s loss and posting photos of wrecks before the family can be notified. Then making horrible excuses for doing so. Basically they only care about how many clicks they get. Well no more from me. Uninstalled all WITN apps and unfollowed on all social media.
-- Fed up facebooker, 2024-11-14

### *---- "Tired of intrusive ads"
Like many other reviewers have noted, this app has gone downhill.  Ads are a large part of my frustration, I understand they’re part if what keeps the app afloat, but there has to be a line.  If I click a notification of a news briefing, I should be taken directly to that briefing.  I should not have to sit there while a full page ad plays until the timer ends, then have to search through all of the news stories to find the one that should have been directly linked. I could handle ads on the article page, but having to wait only to then have to find the story myself, ridiculous. The separate app for weather is also annoying, but I could get over it.  The point of the app is to make it easier for people who aren’t able to watch the scheduled broadcasts, but it feels like the app is designed with a focus on being most beneficial towards their advertisers, not the people using the app.
-- CorrieRL, 2023-12-22

### *---- "Too many ads"
I used to use this, but now every time I open it an ad takes over my screen. It’s gone now - good riddance!!
-- DXB15, 2023-12-07

### **--- "Ads"
I understand the business model need for ads and ad revenue but to have a full page add play at full volume (often not even in English )when a user clicks on your app says 2 things:

1) you value whoever clicks on your app more as a potential revenue source than a member of the community who wants news

And

2) you’re just wasting everyone’s time when you play an ad that isn’t even presented in a language the app user may or may not speak. 

Please stick to reporting the news using banner ads or embedded ads or allow the user to opt out of the full volume, full screen ads.
-- Nelzer75, 2023-11-26

### **--- "Ads"
The initial ads are too long. They need to be removed.
-- 123PeppaC, 2023-11-24

### *---- "No Weather in App"
They expect you to download 2 different apps; one for the news and one for weather. That is perhaps one of the most asinine things I’ve ever seen! I’m sticking with WNCT.
-- janedoey2016, 2023-08-14

### **--- "Clunky and intrusive app"
WITN is the slightly big fish is a very small pond in eastern NC television news, the best news station by default. But this app…ugh! Clunky and annoying.  Video ads pop up when you try and check headlines and you have to completely close the app to shut them down. Cumbersome, amateurish. The app used to be mediocre. They redesigned it, making me yearn for the good old days of mediocrity. As bad as WNCT is as a news outlet, U
I think I’m going to give their app a test drive just to be rid of the thing.
-- therealbassman, 2023-05-17

### *---- "Hard to find weather radar"
I used to be able to easily find current and future radar for the weather. Too difficult to find now.
-- Blanketview, 2023-03-31

### *---- "Advertisement"
You are the only news app that has a loud Spanish advertisement that one has to listen to before accessing the news portion.
-- 5202wolfpacker, 2023-03-03

### *---- "WITN NEWS App"
App was working fine up until a week ago, now the only way it works is to turn off WiFi. Weather App works fine with WiFi on. Very confusing.
