User Reviews

Across reviews, users cite reliability issues, ad-heavy experience, notification controls, and perceived bias as the main problems with the WCTV Eyewitness News app. Many report crashes, long load times, and frequent ads that disrupt use, along with difficulty disabling notifications and a cluttered UI with small text. A minority still value local news access, but overall sentiment is negative due to performance and UX issues.

Pros

Cons

Intrusive advertising with no volume control and high ad frequency.
App reliability is poor; crashes, freezes, and sometimes won't load.
Push notifications cannot be easily disabled and can trigger loud sounds.
Perceived bias and lack of balanced reporting; heavy commercial emphasis.
Poor readability and user interface; small text and multiple introductory weather screens.

Recent reviews

The captioning covers up too much of the screen. It’s mainly a problem when watching the weather. I miss out on a lot of the forecast/maps. Is there a way to watch with the captioning completely turned off?
