Knoxville News from WBIR App Reviews

I enjoy getting local news alerts but don’t enjoy the app freezing up all the time. Not sure why this happens regularly

Excellent notifications.

I’d watch this if you could get past the pops and commercials

The good stuff

Quite pleased

Now is the time for local to news to be the ones to tow the journalism line… WBIR needs to make some bold moves to bring us UNBIASED news.

Glitches and freezes a lot. Not very user friendly. I just want to get on and check the weather. Also, the pop ups at the beginning are annoying. I liked the old weather app better..

I love getting this news on my phone! Thank you

Not user friendly. Harder to navigate

Best news in East Tennessee

For a news app, it’s covered in ads. I look to my local news station for credible information and coverage. But I can’t access a news story or click on an app alert without being required to watch a series of ads first. This is especially frustrating when trying to watch a live broadcast. Additionally if you scroll through the top stories, towards the bottom you start to see ads and clickbait that are copying the formatting. I love our local news station but this app doesn’t serve them well.

Timely, succinct, free, local, I enjoy checking in daily.

Love the current updates throughout the day as news breaks! Keep up the excellent work!!!

Love this app and it's alerts.

WBIR-TV app offers great news coverage for the Knoxville metro & East TN area. I use it and the WBIR Weather app quite frequently to check on the local news, especially when it’s breaking news that might not be on the TV station until the next broadcast.

You want the news headlines, being informed quickly with important information? Here’s the place to see it

I moved to Hamilton County but I still watch channel 10’s exceptional coverage of all types of events. I really love the newscasters and remember Robins first days on camera and I’m so glad she as well as other “old timers” are still there. I have watched channel 10 since 1976. Thank you so much. I wish your weather map could drop a further south to cover those of us near Chattanooga. I’ll always tune in to10News

I always get the top news (where ever I am) I couldn’t ask for a better home news app

It works good to much sports for me.

Having lost trust in the integrity of National news reporting, now I ONLY watch WBIR for the news. Todd Howell and his weather team are the BEST! I feel as if the anchors on WBIR news are doing their best to report the news without adding in their own personal opinions to the story. Katie Inman is a ray of sunshine, always smiling, and does a great job!

I love the news cast over all. There app sometimes will act up some and repeat things or words people speak.

Five thumbs Up!

This app is good enough in the sense that I can get news alert notifications, but to click into a story is almost not worth the trouble. If I don’t click the banner notification, I have a slim chance of finding the news story in the app. Then if you do actually find the story, they have so many ads throughout the app that it will freeze the video I’m trying to get to. Most of the time I’ve given up before I ever make it to watching the story.

Always up to date, ethical, and straight forward coverage. I get all my news weather and traffic on the VOLS network.

I watched WBIR about 50 years I remember Bill Williams Margie Ison and the Heartland Series Thank you for being the best news in Tennessee

I very disappointed in this app. I used the weather app all the time. This new app is problematic. The previous weather app was simple and very useful. The new one takes to long to get anywhere or get the info you want. Please give us the previous weather app that was only weather back. When I need the weather I don’t have time to go through all the other pages.

We watch and follow WBIR channel 10 as our source for news, weather, and traffic in Knoxville

Your old weather app that was independent of your news app worked much better for me personally. Hopefully in the future you can separate the two again.

Always on time and up to date

Fantastic app, use it to catch my weekly weather updates.. and also check on current events that could be happening or is happening in the area, love, my WBIR team. Always love checking in every day to see what’s going on in my neck of the woods here in a beautiful place called the Smoky Mountains. My wonderful home. Keep it up. Great work!!

There's a reason I stopped watching TV news. It's just as bad in the app. Only got it for the weather information. I don't want their horrible sensationalist news, I just want weather.

I don’t particularly appreciate having to watch an ad before I can watch the severe weather live video…might want to reconsider this.

I don’t know why it was changed but I always relied on this app. Now it will tell you what happen (hey, I already know what happened) but it wouldn’t show you what they are predicting. If I just want to know the current temp and daily forecast I can get that from any other app. Change it back please and will upgrade my rating again.

Good content. Popup ads make it difficult to use.
