What users are saying

1. Running the latest android so its the app not my phone.Poor excuse for a news website! Opens not very often! It's up and down, it might work for a day or 2, but then back to seeing the circle like it's trying to open.

2. Just gone downhillWkyt has become a liberal news outlet with biased content creating click bait head lines for more clicks and view ad incentives.

3. But things like shootings or other serious stories.... have some decency to not monetize it with an ad.. And then you've got the absolutely bogus sponsored clickbait "articles" thrown in...its just bad.Nice to see that they've fixed the sundial-speed page rendering problem... speed is OK now.

4. I just want the news without reporting and scripts trying to persuade one way or another.....Wkyt has a good weather app though...so there's that..I've had this app for about a year and really enjoyed having it until recently.

5. Running the latest Android version tooThe news itself is fine, but the app drives me crazy.

6. It is horribly slow to update and everytime I open an article, the article disappears after about 10 seconds.

7. I get the push notifications and I once got one for a very serious news story and when I click to see it, I cant see it without watching an ad first.

8. It used to be my go to news app, but not anymoreWell this used to be my go-to for my news but lately i cannot get the app to open.

9. It takes a while to load & often tries to reload while I'm reading an article, sometimes getting stuck & requiring me to select it again.

10. Regular news stories, yeah sure.

11. That having been said, maybe they could add code to remember where you were in the feed when you clicked on an article and return you there instead of back at the top of the feed.
