User Reviews

Users generally praise WFTV News for informative, timely local coverage and a trusted, long-standing presence. However, the app suffers from ads that overwhelm content, playback glitches (dual videos and audio issues), flaky notifications, reliability/UX problems (crashes, navigation), and limited casting options. Overall, content quality is strong, but the user experience needs to be cleaner, smoother, and less ad‑driven.

Pros

Informative and to-the-point local news coverage.
Reliable coverage that stays on top of major stories for Central Florida.
Trusted, long-standing source that keeps viewers informed.
Content is timely and appreciated by users who value the station.

Cons

Excessive advertising and sponsored content (pre-rolls/Steals and Deals) that drown out the news.
Video/audio glitches, including two videos playing at once and mismatched audio.
Notification issues: alerts for non-new stories and links that don’t open or lead to the article.
App reliability and UX problems: frequent crashes, poor graphics, and hard navigation.
Casting/streaming limitations: missing or unreliable casting to TV.

This app sends out numerous notifications for stories that are not new. I go to the app only to learn it was a story reported days before and there were no changes or updates. I only have a few apps that I allow notifications so I don’t get so many in a day, but I will delete the WFTV notifications and start getting them from Fox 35 app instead. Also they list the same story in multiple locations so that it looks like there is a lot of content .
