I miss the stand alone weather app. The weather information in this app is sorely lacking compared to the weather app. Bring the other app back!

Miss the weather app. Having all combined in one app really took away from the stand-alone weather app. Going to try a different app for my needs.

Works for me all good here !!!

They are notification happy. Give low priority news high priority.

Stand-alone weather app sorely missed. No temp on notification bar. Number of static and video ads is overwhelming and distracting. When clicking on the alerts, many times the article doesn't exit and all the searching in the world does not uncover it.

A message is sent for breaking news. I open the link, only to be forced to watch a commercial. This is unacceptable. This app is being uninstalled today.

Had to download this once since the weather app is going away. First off, no real-time temp display on the top of my phone. Second, if I wanted all the news I would've downloaded this app. I ONLY want a local weather app. I don't want want depressing news, I just don't. And national weather app are not as accurate as a local especially WISN. I understand only wanting to maintain one app. So please give us the option to turn off everything we don't want. And please, please give us our real time temperature back!!

No more standalone weather app so I had to download this one. One thing that this app is missing is an "always on" temperature notification on the top part of my screen on my phone. That's really the only thing I have this app for.

They totally screwed up the widgets and easy access for weather

App can use some tweaking: 1) Putting National News right after local news by putting Vuz etc after National News so a person doesn't have to scroll past all that to get to National News. 2) App acts jerky/buggy/squirrelly more often with this latest version. 3) ads run fine, but news video clip to follow often doesn't load. 4) App tends to take a lot of memory and storage. Otherwise, a great source of latest news both locally and Nationally.

Lost me. New video ads before news articles of newscasts make it not worth it. Also doesn't update articles enough.

Can't make it work on my phone, and can't get the old one back!!!!! Deleting this,

(G5) Old "news" and Vuz clickbait. Is there really that little news in Milwaukee? Dated, clunky, ugly interface with choppy, erratic design layout. Stories seldom updated, and seem to hang on for days and days. Lots of Vuz cap and click-bait links. THIRTY SECOND commercials preceed every actual newscast video, however short and inconsequential it may be, but I never watch them any more as it's not worth my time to sit through a long commercial in hopes of getting some marginally useful news. Time for a facelift! Want a good news interface design idea? Look at ABC Chicago, BBC, and even the formerly horrible but now re-designed Ch 3000 out of Madison.

I would love it if they updated the weather video cast more often!

I love the news app because it tells whats going on global.

C70%
by C####:

30 second commercial spots before video news keeps you at a mere 2 stars. Better weekend updates would be a plus. Using other national storylines besides CNN would be a double plus.

C70%
by C####:

Earlier editions of this app worked ok, but it is worthless in its current edition. The ADS play perfectly, but NONE of the other video content, including the weather, plays at all. After the video ad plays all you get is a black screen with an endlessly spinning 'loading' icon. I have submitted numerous error reports from within the app, but nothing changes and no response, even though my email address is required. As I said, annoying and worthless ... UNINSTALLING.

Like receiving breaking news and able too check weather in my area

The only think I wish this app did, was have the ability to go on your SD card considering the permissions and the amount is space. Other than that, I think the app works well so far (first day). So I give it 4 stars until it can be moved into my SD card.

WISN would be a great local station if they weren't lackeys of the Democrats. The Central Committee of Milwaukee farts and they jump.

C70%
by C####:

The news is solely a verbatim reading of last evening's 10 pm news with no updates until after the next day's 10 pm news. And forget about attempting to view a video - you get a 30 second commercial then your video "loads" until you give up. I've seriously let it go for 5 minutes on Wi-Fi with no results. And the glitch is 100% of the time. My phone may be 2 years old, but it's running up to date software with lots of memory.

It was the only app I used but for the last week, if I try to read an article, it freezes up completely. Have 2 close it. I uninstalled it.

Would be great if they only break in with breaking news and not all the other garbage they break in with that's not breaking news

The video's keep stopping and starting over all the time. The news is reported over and over. Used to like it.

Thanks to WISN i cringe just hearing Steinhaffels due to there non stop commercials so Today I am Deleting this app due to more ads than News. It was bad enough sitting through a Steinhaffels commercial to see the news video but now one before every news article. Too much crap just to watch or read a short news clip

App was great. Didn't mind posted ads between or in the middle of stories. Very aggravating with recent updates that force a video ad before you can watch the news video!!! I've already started downloading other local station's apps looking for a replacement: this was the ONLY one l needed till they screwed it up!!

Z70%
by Z####:

Fairly good local Milwaukee area news but needs more updates on weekends. Add a few a few national storylines besides CNN. They are making you useless; therefore, the drop.

Z70%
by Z####:

... And, it takes too long to load, cannot zoom. Breaking news videos stop as screen dims. Notifications are hard to read. Getting mundane notifications like "Disabled semi cleared from interstate" , etc.

I'm from Texas and wanted to see what was going on with the "unrest in Milwaukee" so I got online and watched a bit of yalls newscast until the video feed decided to stall on me (audio continued to play flawlessly however) so at that point I decided to download the app. Never in my life have I watched so many commercials. I literally never even got to watch any newscast at all. After 15 minutes of solid commercials, I've gotta give this app a 1 star. Now I'm going to go back to the super laggy website feed.

The 30 second ads for 20 second videos are disappointing.

30 second ad to watch a video clip? Cmon...way too long. I once watched a video clip that was shorter than the ad before it. I think the video clips are a nice touch to this app but 30 seconds is way too long for an ad. I understand you need to make money and pay for running this app but I feel your steering people away. Hope you read this channel 12.

Avoid! In addition to ads the new satellite image for radar is terrible!
