I have this app on my iPhone and it’s flawless!! Love and depend on it!! I was so glad to find this app for my tv streaming, unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well. I live in Wilmington NC so I really need to be able to stream my local news and weather in the mornings. Not giving up on y’all you are an excellent news & weather station.

I’m from Wallace ... but have you ever noticed that Duplin county is rarely included in any news, weather, maps, etc? WECT focuses on New Hanover, Pender, Columbus, Brunswick & Bladen counties. Wallace is a 35 mile drive into Wilmington. It would be nice to know we folks here in Duplin were recognized as valuable viewers as channel 6 news and weather are watched most prolifically in the Wallace area, and not to mention most of us in south Duplin shop in New Hanover county - ALWAYS have. I’ve always felt I was a part of the greater Wilmington area but feel we are not considered a part of you guys. How about taking notice of us? As a matter of fact, New Bern, Little Washington and Greenville leave us out too, but these areas are not as close as Wilmington ... New Bern does end its weather map at Kenansville but still get little reference to us - WECT does not show us on your map. Ha! Not funny!

3.5 stars rounded down for how much it annoys me. PLEASE stop sending out push notifications for news surrounding celebrities/hollywood. Deaths are one thing, but I don’t need a news alert about Justin Timberlake’s arrest or a co-host leaving the Today Show. I don’t mind it being reported on but why do I need a push notification about it from my local news app?!?! Other people I’ve talked to have uninstalled for this exact reason, they were tired of their phone constantly going off from unimportant push notification. If I want those kind of alerts I’ll download the People Magazine app or something. It’s not at all what I or I assum most people are looking for when they download their local news app.
