We moved just north of the city in 2017. We started watching WLWT immediately - have to admit NBC was (and is) our preferred news source for local and national information. WLWT have informative and immediately important notifications. I enjoy listening to their journalists. But the best is their weather department. Their weather predictions are more accurate than other stations or apps. Randi Rico tells me exactly what I can expect for each day. WLWT definitely deserve a 5 star rating . . . . . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from our family !
Was working great but now live broadcasts are not working properly.

I was always using this app for the live news broadcasts in the morning while getting ready for work. Recently it has started to not function correctly. It will play commercials before it shows the news. Then the news will come on and then at a commercial break it plays more commercials but then it will never pick back up showing the live broadcast it just is a blank screen. Please fix this on your app.
Worst traffic app ever

This continues to get worse daily. You receive a notification of traffic problems near you and when you click on it you get a map of issues not at all relevant to your search. I have kids on the road and want to know what’s going on where I search. Whoever controls the traffic app needs to switch to something more befitting their experience.
Stop Race Baiting Garbage

Sick and tired of wanting to read real news, both locally and abroad, without inclusion/racism/LGBTQ+++/anti capitalism/Trump hating/COVID-19 lies about meds that really do work but because you hate Trump you won’t tell the truth & COVID-19 rules for me but not for thee/cop hating propaganda. When will you, Apple News, and all news outlets learn people of all colors, ages, genders or lack there of, are really tired of it all. It’s forcing people to look elsewhere for news like Twitter & RT. Think of something your parents tried shoving down your throat when you were a kid. What happened? You rebelled and were most likely disgusted by it. That’s how a lot of people feel right now. It’s nonstop 24/7 racist divisive garbage. Please just give the news. A sports team kneeling before a game is NOT news.
Simple bug fixes and performance improvements.
