1. 5/5Generally great.

   Wish traffic info was available. Ads jump over the night time silence and wake up my husband. Don’t mind the ads and usually look at them unless there is sound at night. Then I have to skin the whole story. I do like the weather and radar being available first. When I want weather fast I come here. And I like the more local news separate from the national. Apparently I’ve done the survey before as it won’t accept any of my four usual nicknames. Well, it just rejected 2manynicknames.

2. 2/5Poor accessibility implementation for VoiceOver users on iPhone

   Using iPhone 17 Pro, latest iOS 2026 update, really wanted to be able to use this app. Unfortunately, as a voiceover screen reader user, this app falls very short on usability. Often, when entering on a News clip or just simply attempting to set one’s location as well as setting up Weather alert, the voiceover is unable to read anything on the screen. When you go into these areas, it’s long you’re only swiping to the left or to the right, it will read. However, what if you attempt to start entering information in the edit field or if you touch the middle of the screen, the only thing the voiceover does is to throw you up to the top of the year status area of the phone. I hope you will take this review into consideration and please implement accessibility so that everyone is able to access the information that this TV station is attempting to get out to the public.

3. 2/5App functions well but strong liberal bias and more opinion than fact presented in articles

   I use this app for a quick view of local news and the app itself functions better than most of the other local news station, which is the reason for 2 stars instead of one. However the obvious liberal bias presented as fact makes it difficult for me to even read the articles. Additionally when I have emailed pointing out inconsistencies in their reporting and asking for the other side to be presented, I have been completely ignored. As the American public, we have allowed news stations to spin factual news and subtly influence at least two generations. Our family is educating our children to notice these biases. I strongly urge everyone who watches and reads the news to be on high alert to how these writers, reporters, and editors are many times not presenting fact but opinion.

4. 5/5Staying connected

   When I am away working just like I am right now I live in Louisville Kentucky and I’m in Atlanta Georgia working and it is really nice to know what is going on back home and with this app it is always sending me notifications about something and I love it because it keeps me up-to-date on what is going onaround my hometown so thank you WKY for this wonderful app and all the employees that put in the hard work the way they do wonderful bunch of people

5. 5/5No Station Better

   When you watch this station, you will think you’re watching a national program instead of a local one. WLKY knows how to keep up with the ever changing world of technology and storytelling. Their anchors are top notch and very professional. There’s simply no need to ever watch a different channel.
