WNYT NewsChannel 13 Albany, NY

I enjoy this app, but when you click on a news story and the commercial immediately starts to play; it’s just too much. When you’re in a quiet situation and you want to read the article, the video or commercial bursts through your phone. And you’re left scrambling to lower the volume or pause it. They need to fix that.

The short and uninformative articles are not updated frequently enough, particularly on the weekends. They aren’t spell or grammar checked, though they always take the time to boast about how all 4 sentences of the article were “posted here first”. The radar only works when the skies are clear, and goes completely blank anytime there is any precipitation, which I suppose is at least predictable enough to tell me if I need to close the windows. The app freezes all of the time because it’s so bogged down with ads and it needs to load those first. Today, a school day at 8am, they are still showing the live weather forecast from 22 hours ago.

Seem to loose my connection on a regular basis when watching live and have to re-start. Do not have that problem with other local stations.

I have had this app for a long time, BUT I really wish they would do something to fix to no warning stop in broadcasting. It’s not timed to a commercial break, just smack in the middle of the weather, or sports, or regular newscast. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked for updates, and (sigh) downloaded competitors apps so I can watch a full news broadcast uninterrupted, but the problem still exists. WNYT is my favorite, PLEASE fix your app!!!!

The same news is always there ?

I go to the weather feature twice per day minimum. I use it for gardening and bike riding and exercising.

Wonderful people on channel 13 They have a great group of younger reporters The tell it like it is No bias.

First go to place on my phone every morning. Thank you for consistently being the best!

When I tap On weather it just showed radar no place it showed detailed forecast which they had in the past.

App freezes all the time. And as much as I hoped the local news would actually focus on important topics, they’re just out for likes and clout like the rest. Quite sad really. When your entire job is to read off a teleprompter and not do any of your own fact checking, it’s easy for people to question everything you put out as truth.
