WAVE Local News App Bewertungen

Don’t waste your time trying to read local news or get breaking weather updates because the second you click on it, you’ll have a 30 sec ad pop up before the warning of possible threats. Deleting the app and using whas11

I like this app but for some reason, when I stream the morning news, the stream does not have pip (picture-in-picture) capabilities with my iPhone. IE, when I switch to another app while streaming, the video stream simply stops. Same thing happens when I switch to landscape mode.

Do we need really need the arc advertisement after reading every single story and sometimes in the middle of a story. I’m gonna research the other apps and see if if they do the same thing this is ridiculous.

Biased news reporting at its worst. A news channel should only report facts and let the public form their own opinions.

It’s all commercials. In emergency situations when you just want to watch the news live all you get are commercials. The WDRB TV app has a much better user experience. The WAVE TV app is not worth the download.

Wave TV is a fantastic local station. But who ever designed this app needs to find a new job. When you open the app you don’t get a welcome or even a notice saying this is Wave. No, you get full page advertisement trying to sell you something. Why don’t you look at the WHAS News 11 app or every other news app in the world and see if they have a freaking advertisement when you open them. That plus the app is so disorganized that it looks like a kid put it together. So, I’ll be deleting Waves app. Thanks

Can’t make the article font bigger

Love all the newscasters & meteorologists at WAVE 3!!!

Give better options for notices. Do not want everything interrupting my work. Some of us don’t give a flying fig about sports.

The app updated but now I am unable to see anything. It stops on the load page but no articles. Just wave 3 with the city and river

So if you download wave 3 news and you have the crazy idea that you might want to check the weather then you have to download a second app for wave news weather. ??? Yeah, I know I ask to much for the local news app to have local weather. What a joke!

I used to really like checking local news on this app. Now I hate it. You open it and get an ad. You click a news story and again are forced to watch yet another ad. So I am deleting this app and will stick to other news apps that do not force you to watch an entire pointless video that I have zero interest in. You can’t skip the ads at all. No thanks!

The ads that pop up when the news app opens are super annoying. Like news…dislike the ads. I am going to discontinue using the app if they are ongoing.

I get Audio on an ad before I can respond. This is not acceptable!

Every time I’m sent an alert, I click on it only to get an ad

I’ve used and enjoyed this app for years, and never had any problems. I’ve even gotten used to the complete app overhaul that took place back in late 2021 or early 2022 (still like the old option better where it takes you directly into the news, but I digress). Now every time I open the app, I get an error message saying that “no internet connection is detected”. However, I’m always online - and I cannot figure out why this keeps happening. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app about a dozen times, and I even tried using some other local stations app, but those are just awful. Please, please look into this, and please get it fixed. I’ll update my review rating once it begins working again.

Sometimes it seems like they forget to mention what's happening up our way in Brownstown Indiana 47220 Maybe it just seems that way I realize that you guys an young Ladies have a large area to cover !!!Thanks Jim Thompson.

Would like to have weather alerts on “wave three” app instead of having to download ANOTHER app.

The news is updated frequently, but this is the last app I check because a video ad starts playing as soon as I launch it.

Overall the news is provided in a timely manner and updated regularly. However, I have noticed many, many times the grammar and identification of neighborhoods is embarrassingly incorrect. For example, the St. Denis neighborhood has been identified as St. Dennis more times than I can count. The writing skills of these journalists could, and should, be improved greatly. Don’t they have to show somebody their story before it’s released for publication? Please, do better.

Forced to watch an add before the app opens. Forced to watch another one when I clicked on the news link. I realize ads are how you make money, but these are horrible. Video ads that just start playing. I don’t want to watch that.

I am fed up with your advertising and supporting Trump. If you think we are thrilled about him visiting the Ky Derby - think again!! 5g3c64

The app was the go-to news app for L’ville news, but a recent update causes me to get news alerts (2-3/day) and when i touch to open them, it’s just a 30-second ad. Now i have to switch to WHAS 11 app.

They make my day better

I have the iPhone XR too. So does Any one know why it just won’t up load on the iPhone XR?

Aesthetically it looks like an app straight outta 2009 with better (but still crappy) functionality.

App crashes when opening since latest update

Since your most recent update, my WAVE 3 app will not open. I have an iPhone 6S. All my other apps are working correctly.

After the last update the app will not load

Should not have to endure a 30 second ad for a movie, with no option to X out of it.

Are you by chance looking to hire a proofreader? I’m quite good at that. I have watched the 7:00 pm news on Friday for 10 minutes and have already seen two mistakes. Someone couldn’t even spell Kentucky and Dawn Gee did a weather story on Cabo “Sam” Lucas instead of “San”. Not only was it pronounced wrong, also spelled wrong across bottom of screen. For being my favorite news station, sad with these mistakes. Now I’m having trouble because all the nicknames I’m trying to use have all been taken. Considering the ones I’ve tried, that’s hard to believe.

The app updated to include the NBC notification sound. It’s loud and annoying. I can’t find the option to turn it off. Also… “breaking news” is clearly a relative term because I get notifications for all kinds of stories that aren’t important.

They took an app that worked well and replaced it with one that hardly works at all. Most of the time it will not open. Tells me that I have 30+ notifications but I can never find them. I love WAVE3NEWS but am thinking of deleting this app. 7/28/21 The wave tone for notifications is more than annoying.

Update your home page Derby is over

WAVE app was my go-to news and information app but not anymore. The new app makes you click through advertisements before it opens. Then you have to select the news stories, which again, more advertising, plus it is slow. Just deleted the app off my device.

Latest update to this app is a disaster! No longer get directly to news. Now have to open a separate page. I get out of the app and start seeing 10-20 notices of new stuff but when open no idea what or where the new stuff is. Have to scroll through everything. Wastes to much of my time!

The latest update is awful. I continue to see the red circle with notifications. I look and clear them and then see 30 more not long after. I’ve changed my settings in the app but I am not optimistic it will change.

Newest version Apr. 2021, no longer loads when not sharing location.

A lot of grammar and misinformed published online - need proof readers! Will get breaking news alerts, but then can’t find the story on this app. Also the pop-up ads are terrible. Very disruptive. Mostly a good app, compared to others.

Use the app often. Wish it had the traffic map available. Be the first and add the traffic info.

Why bother

Have a great and blessed week and thanks

I hate this app. I get a notification about a breaking story and it is impossible to find on the news page. Example: i just got a notification that Two High Schoolers for Sou IN tested positive. Because I didn’t open it from the notification...I looked on the app. Don’t see it anywhere. Also...WAVE is VERY often behind WLKY AND WDRB on posting breaking news. I love your news personalities and that’s what keeps me tuning in...not the app or the coverage. Honestly since you have gone to news practically all day long...the content is worse. Not many want to watch the local news fpr hours a day!!

If I lived in Louisville I wouldn’t notice anything. This app would be great. However living outside of Louisville the weather needs to be updated. Many times the daily forecast will be days old. This throws off the 3 day and 10 day forecast. Then I change location to Louisville and it’s almost always down to the hour current. The worst for me is weekends. I wake up check weather on Sunday and it is still stuck on Thursday.

I really do like wave 3 but I can’t watch live because it will black the screen out every second or two which makes it impossible to catch anything. My iPhone 11 is always up to date as well as the app so idk. Thinking about just deleting

Wave 3 has done a great job keeping Kentuckians informed what going on with covid 19. Kerp up the good work.

Like being alerted to breaking news, weather etc. Communication important @ all times, but now more than ever.
