User Reviews

Users like having timely WSOC news and weather on the go and appreciate content useful when they can't watch TV. However, the app repeatedly suffers from outdated or slowly updated stories, unreadable small fonts, autoplay audio/video with little control, video playback glitches, and broken notification/navigation. Ads and frequent video autoplay further degrade the experience. The top requested fixes include regular updates, readability improvements, better media playback controls, and reliable notification links.

Pros

Timely access to news and weather on the go
Useful when you can't watch the WSOC TV broadcast
Informative and engaging content for WSOC fans
Overall positive sentiment from users who appreciate the app

Cons

Outdated content and slow updates; stories remain on the app for weeks
Unreadable small fonts and tiny pictures
Autoplay audio/video with little control; audio plays in background and there can be double audio
Video playback glitches (freezes, crashes, live video stops)
Notification/alert links not working or taking you to the main page; ads too frequent

The app doesn’t do larger font. Please fix that.

This is, by far, the worst news app of the three network TV stations in Charlotte. It's technologically shoddy and unreliable, and consistently has outdated information. As for the staff, their writing, spelling and grammatical skills are embarrassingly poor more often than not. I finally gave up and deleted it from my mobile device.

Your app needs to be updated to allow auto rotation from portrait to landscape when used on an iPad. I have submitted this comment previously but to no avail. Please strongly consider making this improvement.
