Comments on WHIO News for Android

★★★★★ Sheila Henson · May 5, 2025
It's great to go to this and find out what's going on in the world and get th weather without watching the news. Thank you 😍
★★★★★ Dave Green · Jul 21, 2025
Easy to use with the greatest up-to-the-minute info. Especially, weather alerts during storms in the Miami Valley areas. It's Clear & Consist.
★★★★★ Tammy Atencio · May 16, 2025
I'm very happy with Whio Channel 7 news, when ever I need to find out something that is going on I just.go to Channel 7. And I have grown up watching Channel 7,I also brought my children and grandkids up watching Channel 7, I'm very sad that Cheryl is leaving it just isn't going to be the same without her. I really like Channel 7 news, but I don't like how they repeat things over and over...
★☆☆☆☆ Bill P · Mar 22, 2026
Way to many notifications. Old stories reappear. Can't filter stuff I'm not interested in. Notifications I dismiss keep coming back.
★☆☆☆☆ Stephanie Baker · Jun 22, 2025
Why do I get notifications for stories that are weeks old? It's getting ridiculous. I installed app to keep up with current daily news, yet I get notified of stories weeks after and the stories are not being updated. I'm considering deleting.
★☆☆☆☆ C.B. Martin · Nov 26, 2025
The ads are crazy and invasive. I don't need an ad in my weather app opening browser links and covering major parts of the screen.
