User Reviews

Users generally praise WTVA 9 News for timely updates and a strong local news team, with several noting reliable weather coverage and the app as the preferred local option. However, recurring problems center on the app’s reliability and video playback: live streams frequently stall or go black, articles sometimes error or fail to load, and the app occasionally crashes or loads slowly. Ad experience is also a common complaint, with unskippable ads covering screens. Addressing streaming stability, app performance, and a less obstructive ad model would significantly improve user satisfaction while keeping the strong reporting foundation.

Pros

Timely, informative, and up-to-date news coverage.
Strong on-air news team and reporting (praises for Betty Medders, Andy Lee, Jim Holder).
Overall positive among local TV channels; considered the best local option.
Helpful weather updates alongside news coverage.

Cons

Recurring streaming/video playback issues (live streams stall, go black, repeats, or don’t show).
General app reliability and performance problems (crashes, slow loads, loading background tasks, server capacity concerns).
Intrusive ads and unskippable full-screen ads affecting user experience.

Recent reviews

I thought the upgrade was going to fix the problems but it made them worse. Can’t find what I’m looking for. Have to watch ads to see the videos. Shows the same video when you try and look at the next video.
