Comments on WFTV News for Android

★★★★★ Katherine Spencer · Aug 22, 2024
I LOVE CHANNEL 9 NEWS! Being a hairstylist, many clients know I have to watch the news @ 6 pm I like to see what's happening around me & my City. Thanks to the newscast for delivering quality news stories 👍. Todd Ulrich IS THE MAN, getting truth from scamming businesses & individuals. Tom Terry ALWAYS on point with the weather & hurricane info along with his sidekick, Brian Sheilds.
★★★★★ ROSIE Rose · May 31, 2024
I wish everyone at WFTV would announce President Biden. They would say Biden. Why, he is our PRESIDENT! President Biden earned his title as President!!
★★★★★ marcus hutchison · Aug 11, 2026
The FTV news and weather apps are my favorite news and weather apps and FTV channel 9 is a great orlando station with great reporting and is one of my favorite news outlets
★★☆☆☆ Robin Cascio · Aug 29, 2025
I want news headlines, not clickbait headlines. The push notifications are become more annoying than useful. If this continues then I will uninstall the app. There are multiple Orlando area news channels I can get my local news from.
★☆☆☆☆ Lhamedification · Jun 10, 2025
The only news app that takes 3 or more minutes to load articles for reading.
★☆☆☆☆ Shannon Triplett · Oct 27, 2025
Disappointed in the app. This is the only news I will watch. I had this app for years, but within the past 3 or 4 months, it gives me a lot of issues. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Still isn't working. I have to Google to get information.
