User Reviews for WISN 12 News - Milwaukee

Ads and Push Alerts Are an Issue

WISN is generally my preferred source in Milwaukee however using the app is a chore sometimes. Often, stories that come in via notifications aren’t yet available in the app unless you specifically go through the notification. If you see a notification come in while you’re doing something else you can’t finish your task and then head to the app. You have to head to your notifications and access it that way or else you won’t find the story. The app also constantly pauses your music in order to play ads, even when you aren’t trying to view a video. It’s incredibly frustrating that you can’t read news stories and listen to your music at the same time.

Unstable and getting worse (unusable)

App used to be nice. Now ad videos auto play while just scrolling. Annoying when you reading news in bed and you wake your spouse with annoying noise. Before you can watch a small 15 second clip, you have to watch a 30 second commercial. The commercials that you click on, at least you know will play sound....except they don't. Lol. The companies paying for ads are wasting money. As of today, the app crashes 3 seconds after opening. Deleted app, cookies, etc, rebooted, reinstalled...still crashing. Just keeps getting worse. Gonna try other news sources besides hearst.

Coming Out of the Closet...We See You!

I have been watching channel 12 for decades and I have finally realized just how “left leaning politically” your news people are...especially Joyce Garbaciak...she’s very good at her broadcasting skill but her bias and liberalism shows through...would love to see her express how “proud and honored” she is to interview President Trump like she proclaimed about Obama...don’t watch your news or ABC programs like Good Morning America, the past 90 plus days of coverage of the riots and destruction in democratic run cities, like Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Kenosha anymore because of it...oh, that’s right, you didn’t show that from the beginning...that is until the Republicans outed you liberals and socialistic wanna be’s ...I just watch General Hospital on ABC because I have to...and that’s only until some other network picks it up! Shame on you...USA USA KEEP AMERICA GREAT!!!

Best streaming app for local Milwaukee TV stations

#1 in my book for comprehensive and accurate weather forecast. Sally-#1, she’s been amazingly on top of her game for years. Her impending “retirement“ is not something I’m looking forward to and I hope she not getting pushed out due to female ageism. #2 Broadcast streaming is fine, I hope ABC and WISN will focus more $ into this part of the app as we consumers want to “eat” our news on demand and not shove national or other cities news stories mixed in (it gets confusing) when consumers would like local information. The economy is good. The advertising costs enough, you are cutting salary budgets by reducing tenured staff, there should be the ability to get more beat reporters

Needs to be current!

Would love to see the news updated with some frequency! Especially on weekend. Check news and weather and they are sometimes almost 24 hrs old especially on the week end. That’s not NEWs! It’s old.Newscaster’s personalities are great, but need some work on the issues of a few “talking through their noses”. A little speech therapy would certainly up their game in the industry, especially since their actual presentation is great otherwise. Please teach Eden how to say Wauk-e-sha! It’s not Wauk-sha!

Great cast/horrible broadcast via iPad

I truly enjoy watching the news on 12news. The cast is awesome (I will miss seeing Sally in the early a.m.!) and the news is mostly unbiased politically, which I definitely appreciate! But the broadcast and repetitive commercials are awful. The broadcast itself is very glitchy and it cuts out for no reason also. A smooth broadcast day is rare. Someone should pay more attention to the streaming broadcasts and make sure they’re cleaned up. It’s the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars. Great news casters, dependable weather reports, and love the traffic helicopter reports! (Matt should get the gravely voice checked by a doctor.)

Love the update!

Love this app and your weather app, too.I love the ability to get updates on breaking news. Sometimes just enough to read the headline, but always have option to read entire report. Update: still 5 stars, but if I had to share a gripe, it might be the 10 sec ads before each video. I understand its revenue. Would be nice though to have an option to skip after 5 seconds. If I try to catch up on various videos, it gets quite annoying.Thought of one other gripe: getting the audible alert after one is asleep. Very seldom happens. (I think one had to do with an awards show result!) I don't want to silence my phone, but would like to have an option to silence the WISN audible alert per a schedule, like from 11pm until 7am.

Disappointed and annoyed by the newest updates.

WISN is my preferred option for news and entertainment and I used to love the old app. Now, there are far too many pop up ads, ads that play automatically, and too many meaningless news alerts. I wish there was a way to choose which I’d like to receive. Additionally, when I do see a news alert that I’d like to read more completely, I swipe to do so and not only does the news alert disappear, I can’t find it listed in the app! Even when you put the subject in the search field, nothing.

Improving with fewer video ads

I’ve noticed that sometimes there are fewer video ads and ads don’t auto play often now. It used to wake my husband up hen all of a sudden an ad would randomly play. Appreciate not having to watch an entire ad before all news videos now and the ability to skip ads, so I don’t have to watch the same ads over and over. Thank you for heading in the right direction.

Could use editing.

Love the TV station and watch every day. The printed news needs lots of editing. (Missing words, etc) Plus I can’t stand that so many sentences are cut off so that I can never see the ending that should give pertinent information. Also the website uses all my phone WiFi within minutes. Other news sites don’t do that.
