WYFF News 4 - Greenville

I am so happy with the WYFF app on my phone. I feel that it keeps me well-informed on a national level, as well as the local level, and keeps me in the know in general. I especially like receiving notifications of new information about on-going stories. I'm not always able to be near a television to watch the newscasts, but with the WYFF app on my phone, I always feel that nothing important is going on that I am not oblivious to. I would recommend it to everyone. My biggest complaint is too many monotonous ads to wade through.

Many news apps offer a way to make the print larger or at least allow it to go landscape for easier reading. Why has WYFF not done this? The other problem I have with the app is that the radar covers too long a time. When you’re trying to see the direction of storm is taking, we do not have to review the last several hours to figure out what’s about to go on in our area. Lastly as a comment about reporting. I do not think the reporting covers subjects adequately. A lot of information is confusing or completely left out. I can understand that some information about a crime must be kept out for the sake of the investigation, but there are many pertinent points that are completely on addressed, and many of them could be addressed in your articles. I believe you have gotten a little bit better at typographical error‘s and grammar mistakes. Please continue correcting that. You are a news organization and are held to a higher standard.

Mike was there 10 years ago when my daughter was kidnapped from Wallmart in Central, and raped at gunpoint. I will never forget his kindness and empathy for my daughter and myself during this tragedy. I’m so saddened to hear of his death this morning. The world has lost a great human being, and the news will not be the same without him. People should know that he wasn’t just a reporter, he was a person who deeply cared about the tragedies happening and the effects on the citizens of this area. My prayers are with his family and Co-workers and all those citizens whose lives he touched. He was instrumental in getting my daughters rapist caught and behind bars, and I will always be grateful for this. He will be greatly missed. Cynthia Strader

1) As many reviewers have previously stated, the pop up ads are very annoying. The ads before the breaking news story are also annoying. The ads between news stories are annoying. As many times as I’ve tossed the word annoying into the first part of this review, it doesn’t compare to the annoyance of ads shown in your app. 2) The font is way too small. The ability to enlarge the text does not exist. Very frustrating. 3) Finally, notifications received, often as “BREAKING NEWS”, are nowhere to be found when immediately following through with checking on your app. It would be great to post the story first before notifying your viewers. If any of the above are corrected you’ll earn more stars in my review! 👍🏼

During an emergency situation to have to sit through an advertisement BEFORE getting the information that a tornado could be about to hit my house is quite frustrating! Also I have noticed numerous grammar and spelling issues in your articles, I know everyone abbreviates everything these days but in a serious news article it would be nice to see proper grammar and spelling. Other than that, I like their news, they keep us informed right away of the latest happenings. The on air personalities are great, I think they all do a fabulous job.
