News 5 WCYB.com Mobile

For the last several days there is no content in the sub menus. Pertinent information like Schedule Changes and Closings cannot be found, and we are in midst of a winter storm!

I enjoy the app and have always watched news 5. My only complaint is the advertisements being directly over top of the weather forecast making it impossible to see.

UPDATE 4/24/23 I just downloaded the latest version and tried again. It’s now working and seems to be fine! Thank you for fixing it! Your website still no longer works on this older iPad with iOS 12. But now I can at least read the stories in the app. The app will no longer open on my iPad Mini 2, which is stuck on iOS 12. When I tap to open it, it tries to open but then immediately crashes and takes me back to my main screen. Your website will no longer open in the browser, either. Unfortunately, I’m stuck with this iPad until Apple comes out with a new iPad mini and fixes the “jelly scroll” issue.

This app is infuriating. What’s the point of notifications if it doesn’t actually bring you to the article you were notified about? It brings me to the app where you can’t even find the article that you were notified about!!! I left this app for a long time and NOW I remember why.

App stops after asking question about ad preferences and then nothing! Useless!

Article text appear in a black box when iPhone is in dark mode; therefore unable to read. Discovered by putting phone in light mode and text appears.

Unfortunately WCYB’s app has always been horrendous. I submitted feedback to the staff regarding audio not loading in videos, advised of the iOS version (I always have current) and they did something to make the videos finally play sound. I was excited - until I had an update and then the videos once again had no audio. And forget about the Closed Captioning - also horrendous, most of the time it’s jibberish. I gave up. I still used the app but only looked at stories I could read. Now WCYB is not even bothering putting text with their news pieces in their app, which makes it completely useless. They may as well save whatever minimal resources they are utilizing for effort and money into the app and drop it all together. It’s a complete waste. Deleted!

Recently bought iPhone 11 and installed my favorite local news app. After viewing an article, I cannot return to the main menu from in the app. I have to shut it down and restart to get the main menu back.

This app is great, however it cuts the live news broadcast off and I have to completely close it out and by the time I open the app back up I have missed half of the segment. Please fix this, this is by far the best local news app. Keep up the good work WCYB!

This is the best fake news I’ve seen in a long time. They are almost as bad as CNN. All of the stories are comically one sided. They block people on Facebook who have different opinions than they do, and if you don’t get blocked they taunt you with passive aggressive comebacks like have “a nice day” or “thanks for the feedback, we’ll look into it” but they don’t mean any of that. All in all this app is great for laughs at the end of the day after you’ve paid your ridiculously expensive insurance premiums and deductibles
