Comments on WVLT News for Android

★★★★★ James Temple · Feb 25, 2023

A big thing happened near my home, and I didn't know what it was. WVLT reported it (at first a bit wrong but quickly fixed) several hours before anyone else. I don't care if the app isn't perfect, I want news and they delivered.

★★★★★ JOEY CRONAN · Jul 31, 2022

Only news I watch in the morning. It's a pleasure waking up and seeing Heather Haley and your new reporter Abby Bouzoukis. Abby should replace Casey Brainless I mean wheeless. I liked Casey when she was just a reporter but watching her in the morning made me realize just how dumb she really is..... Keep Heather and put on or at least show more of Abby Bouzoukis. I don't mean to be rude I'm just being honest. Abby and Heather you both are beautiful!

★★★★★ Richard Kaylor · Feb 7, 2021

Great weather report all of Heather, We love Ted Hall, and Mark Packer. When was he being doing his "Challenges" in 1999 or 2000, our daughter Heather Kaylor and Oak Ridge Lady Cats, she was Captain of her team for '99/'00 She taught Mark a dance that choreographed. They were all exceptional Dancers all from The Oak Ridge Academy of dance.

Notifications I've gotten three times already about food banks being very busy is not breaking news. And this was the repeated notifications about that possibly happening before snap ran out. Besides, I don't need to see the news. You break it down in the preview in the very first 30 seconds of the news. If I can find them after I acknowledge and then ignore that notification, I will tap on your stories and gladly go through the advertisements at that time

You can't just open it and check the weather, this app requires you to watch an ad to open almost any link.
