4/5WRTV vs Ch13
I too deleted the Ch13 news app. It was hard to follow, full of advertisements,and disorganized with nothing pertinent. WRTV is easy to follow and read. Tells me what I want to know in an organized fashion. Nice app. Good job WRTV.

2/5Terrible. Just terrible
I really used to like all platforms for rtv. Back when you could listen to it on fm. But I just can’t do this app anymore. Compared to other local news-and when you throw in the star it is very easy to compete with-it just fails. The stories are usually 24-48 hours behind-meaning stories rarely get updated. Although very minor, but speaks to the neglect of the app, often times the same graphic appears for multiple stories, day after day. It’s almost laughable when some graphics appear for the same story. RTV6, how are you still doing this??

5/5Moved over from WTHR
I just dropped Channel 13 after they replaced a really good news app with a totally illogical and click-bait-laden mess. Really pleased with your app, clear to navigate, ads are not outweighing the content, and intend to stay. Thanks for not feeling your app has to look like a teenager’s Instagram.

3/5Was my go-to for news updates
The last update ruined it. In the middle of reading a news item, loud ads will pop up and disrupt your reading. WTH! There are already enough ads in between news stories. Now they can’t even wait till you get to the end.

5/5❤️ LOVE IT ❤️
Up to date very informative app. The weather lay out is awesome as well. The only thing I wish could be changed is a follow-up on ALL the stories when someone/something needs to be done about a situation or an accident etc. js
