Comments on WRDW News for Android

★★★★☆ Jessica Whisnant · Sep 25, 2025

UPDATE: Deleting the app. Going to depend on Ch. 6 news from now on. App will not load most of the time. Also, "breaking news" will not show up in the app. I'll get the notification, but nothing in the app.

★★★★★ Brenda Booze · Sep 10, 2019

(Edit: The notifications used to open the app up and take you directly to the story you clicked on in your notifications. Now it just opens the app up, and you have to try and search for the story you clicked on. I'm not the only one who doesn't like this change.) Breaking news, severe weather alerts, daily weather updates, can post to facebook. Can watch live news too. Would like to be able to comment on some stories but can do that on the Facebook page I guess. Great app.

No way to express your opinion on news stories they produce especially the false ones....

★★☆☆☆ Jeanie Goodwin · Jun 17, 2020

What's wrong with the app? Can't get anything other than ads. This has been a big problem for a few days now. I miss my WRDW app on my phone! Please fix and/or update this. Thanks

Several times this app has asked me to support Biden by signing a petition with ads. The news has enough bias and wokeness I don't want anymore. Good luck keeping an audience with blatantly bias in reporting and manipulation of facts for political agendas.

★☆☆☆☆ scott raines · Jun 15, 2020

Was my go-to local news app. Now all I get is pop up ads. Not just one, but multiple ads. Have not been able to access the news all day. Send a patch please!
