  1. 5/5Love WDSU

    I am a news junkie and I want to know it all AS IT HAPPENS! WDSU is right on the ball. Also I am big into the weather hour by hour as I was a “Weather Watcher” for 12 yrs all volunteer, 365 days of the year. We had snow 6 mos out of the year and that is NOT easy to measure - blowing snow. Also at that time I did not have a thermometer that automatically recorded the low or the high of that day; therefore, I had to get up all night long to check the temps in our frozen tundra area to get the low for that night. And to think this was all volunteer. Now I am still a person who watches the weather, winds, dew points and esp humidity all throughout the day. I am right on top of things weather-wise as that is how I plan my day, according to the weather. Margaret is great!! Regarding the news, I need to know what is happening where, as well as when did it happen or when will it happen. And then I forward the info on to others from there. I’m most often the first to know about it, and then I share it around to appropriate people to make them aware. So WDSU, just keep it coming. Also I love the repeat versions available on my cell. THAT IS A MUST! I rarely am available to watch it at its normal air time. I have to be able to see it at a later time. By the way, I don’t have a tv at all, so I watch all your shows numerous times DAILY on my iPhone. MS. Joy New Orleans

  2. 5/5Need more time with sports

    I’m a dedicated WDSU viewer along with my friends but the sports daily news is weak and if It will not cover more swac mainly southern u I’ll start looking at wwl there are a lot of S U alumni in your viewing audience. Especially during football season we get much more NICHOLAs state and southeastern. SU is right down the road in BR. Again a little less weather and more sports.

  3. 1/5Reliability

    This is got to be one of the most unreliable apps I’ve used to date it crashes so many times I have to watch a different channels, always seeming to happen during the weather but never the commercials sometimes I get to watch all the commercials and nothing other Leaving make sure the app was updated and the same thing happens When watching it on the TV from the my local app, it seems to work fairly well but not perfect it’s really sad that we’re having bad weather. They tell you to stay tuned with the app, but the app freezes up and crashes constantly. Come on WDSU a lot of people in the greater New Orleans area in Mississippi gulf coast. Use your app for important issues.

  4. 2/5Need real news

    While love your news reports, hate that it’s all doom and gloom! With all that going on we need more feel good stories!!! We all know about the ownerships love for viewers, but honestly- your viewer 🙋🏼‍♀️ don’t believe the COVID death numbers, I don’t believe healthy people should wear a mask. I supposedly had COVID-19- I was around my COPD mother , my heart problems father, my diabetic husband, my young grand daughters, my 3 sons and their significant other. Not a single one got sick. I was sick for 2-3 weeks before I went in the hospital. So ample time there for them to catch COVID-19. Also The best part of the show- weather!!! I mainly now watch to find out the weather!! Your weather team is the best around!!!

  5. 2/5Stop the Harassment!!!

    Is this app supposed to be used when “I” want too or when WDSU wants me too? This is the only app I have seen that STOPS sending you the news that you requested if you don’t open it enough. WOW!!! Whomever is in charge should realize that this app isn’t the only source of news for WDSU. Am I going to start getting alerts on my tv that I haven’t watched the channel enough? This definitely needs to be corrected. No one has time to open your alerts all day to make you or your quotas our priority. Thank God you guys aren’t the standard.
