User Reviews for WVTM 13 - Birmingham

BUGGY APP!! Good local weather reporting. Biased news.

This is the only available local app with full coverage I can watch on the go otherwise I would watch another. Best weather coverage and good anchors and fairly good local news coverage until election time got here. However very obviously biased since Hearst took over. Consistently critical of Republicans and Trump. Shamelessly doesn’t make any attempt at balance or real news. Guess I’m old enough to remember when the news was actually about news. The app itself has always been buggy, but lately I can only get to the first animated commercial, then it hangs up. I just want to get through the full weather report and and the low down on COVID. I can’t stomach your political crap! Bought a new streaming service so I can get something better. I’m breaking up! Tired of brainwashing and fake news.

Review

I like your app, but am confused by some of the articles that have a topic in the title, but when you look for more information, the article only re-states what the title says. It’s probably my ineptitude, but I do get frustrated. I agree with another reviewer that having to listen to the same commercial every time you open an article is a real deterrent to using your site.

Love WVTM 13

...but I’m confused by some of the alerts on your apps. When I get an alert and click on your app, I expect to go straight to the “alert” information and that doesn’t happen. On occasion I even take the time to try to find the link and can’t. Example is when the alert says Trump is speaking live...and I click on the link there is nowhere to watch/listen to him. Then I Google to find where I can watch/listen live. Also...I get “alerts” for things that I consider frivolous, i.e. “beautiful sunset from Red Mountain” and “easy recipes during quarantine”. Neither of those require my attention immediate or otherwise. And lately I’ve been getting notifications that “WVTV 13 is LIVE”. My question is “live about what”? Please be more respectful of users’ time and attention. Thank you very much.

Radar

When I put in my location I want the radar to show a close up of my location. Yours doesn’t!! It gives me a written description of current weather and temperatures but I want to see the radar for Me. I hate to say it but if there isn’t storms I will be watching Channel 6 for my weather. 6 shows my area every time I open the app ( close up).

Bad app

This app is all about news not weather. All about ads!!! We don’t care we want weather. Hard to get instant alert. Radar is so so slow. We need alert first not news. Step up or give us our go to app back. Very disappointed. Wayyyyy too many pages to navigate to find weather. Can’t believe this app is so bad for weather. Need needs to be a choice not radar. Radar should be instant gratification. Messed up on this one. Please fix since we had no choice on app. Hearst is the worst.

My #1 Choice

Bham has many local news sources across a variety of venues. WVTM13 in my opinion provides the best newsworthy content both locally and nationally. The app is user friendly so ‘you’ choose what alerts to receive from wherever you decide in the Birmingham area. The weather app (now combined with the news app here) keeps you quickly informed using the most advanced, accurate weather information.(lightening detector/my favorite feature!)

Same ad over and over drives me crazy!

I like the app and love having access to the news but being forced to listen to the same ad over and over without being able to disable it is annoying in the extreme. Perhaps if you only had to hear it once when you first land on the page would solve the issue. Please fix this!

I love the information you provide daily. The articles are interesting and timely. I like the option to read the articles with the option to cancel the adds. I rarely listen to videos because I can read articles at a faster rate. Thank you for providing the printed stories on many of your articles. I appreciate the headlines so I can immediately review the stories of interest. Overall I am extremely pleased with your app and the news cover stories! Thanks for the great information!!

Too many commercials

It is frustrating to have to watch an ad for almost everything you click on. I usually end up just clicking out of the whole thing. And sometimes I can’t even find the article you are telling us about. I like to keep up with local news, but this just isn’t my “go to” place.

WVTM App

I’ve been receiving notices that the WVTM Weather app is going away in January. That app is my go-to weather info companion and I use it many times a day both here in Birmingham and when I travel out of state for work. I think it’s great!I understand that the weather features will be combined into the WVTM news app site, which I also use as my news source at least a couple times a week, but not nearly as often as your weather app. My preference would be to keep them separate. However you combine those two I am concerned that I’ll have to fumble my way around your news site to get to the weather. If you’re going to take away my direct-connect with the WVTM Weather, please, please do all you can to make the link obvious and placed on the first screen I pull up. WVTM is the best. Keep up the good work. Dan in Hoover
