WISN 12 News - Milwaukee App Reviews

Dont see the need for 3 columns as stories are repeated. It is good to be able to click on a story you are interested in.

Love this app and your weather app, too.

Your app is making me do this a 3rd time. Creepy. I have more important things to do. I was trying to help by telling you that your EXTREMELY LOUD commercials are obnoxious and we all are very irritated by them and so most of us no longer use your news, whereas you used to be our favorite. No longer true!!

I used to really like this app and used it to stay on top of local news daily. Let last year the app was completely redesigned and I hated it, but figured that I should give it time. Well, I gave it about two months before I stopped using it and used the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel app instead- which was easier to use without as many annoying ads. Well two weeks ago they redesigned their app after they were bought out by USA Today- and made their app similar to WISNs... So I switched back to the WISN app, hoping that they made changes. If they did, I cant tell. The news homepage is still a mess, stories on the homepage seem random rather than in chronological order, the ads are annoying- often covering up part of the story for several seconds as you scroll. If you try to x out of the add by clicking the tiny close x, you often end up opening the ad which fills your entire screen. Getting something as simple as a seven-day forecast often requires multiple clicks and often seems inaccurate. I used to LOVE this app before its major overhaul last year... Please bring back the old design!!!!

Too many stories are not local.

EVERYTHING is breaking news. I would like options to filter what I consider important. Also set to turn itself off at my bedtime

Seems to be always notifying of news.

I think Ive posted this over 20 times now. New version releases each week that wipe out reviews. While systemic of the dumbing down of news as a whole at this point in time, this app is more billboard than substance. It is now difficult to locate real news, especially local, among the paid ads and shared resource Hearst and affiliates fluff videos. When scrolling down, it will take a while as you recirculate through the same content as above. The weather section is ok. However, It is somewhat tedious to find actual news vs look at this video of an idiot.

I have to sit through a 30 second ad before every story??? No thanks.

Dislike the new version. Fewer stories, difficult to find more. Used to easily have access to a variety of categories now I can only see what you want me to see. Story titles are cut off making them useless. Unfortunately the website mirrors the app so I cant use that either.

Like the weather the best, news is good also.

Has got better. The best for news in Wisconsin.

I enjoy using the weather video nearly every morning to plan my. The push notifications help me foresee traffic problems.

The app is ok. Basic app that just renders news stories and video clips in mobile friendly format. Its not much different than having a shortcut an "m." url.

Although I enjoy getting the alerts/notifications, its not as easy to navigate with this version.

The new version is horrible. Its hard to find the information I am looking for without taking a lot of time. The old version was organized better and made it easier to find information

Hate the newest version. Way too many videos-would watch on my tv if I wanted video. Strange organization of articles- repeat articles found under different categories. And sometimes you cant even be sure if youre accessing everything as some articles seem buried.

Too much of a Maze to find what I want and ultimately not finding it. Too many videos. (Chews up time and data) Find myself on other News Apps.

The radar is spot on, but their forecasting seems to be far inferior to that of the weather channel app. Why would it only show 10% chance of snow when it is currently snowing at a rate of 1-2 inches per hour?

App works great. No crashing like other
