WDSU News - New Orleans

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

I’m an avid reader and I’m obsessed with the news. This source is just as important to me as the Associated Press...it’s my go-to source for local news, weather, and events. I can always expect the information to be current and reliable. Love it & the Lagniappe is that it’s naturally NOLA!!!

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.

Video ads immediately when you click on new report -even when you send a news report notification. I will stop looking at your news and delete the app of it continues. Ads are fine but not when I can’t choose to not watch when I want to see what the report is. I will use other news outlets as Your news is not all that breaking when I get the same notification from others.

I gave a 3star rating because the app is great other than one issue. it would have gotten a 5star rating if not for the issue of when I get an ALERT for breaking news or update on major stories I swipe to open it, and it takes me to the general home screen of the app and the actual breaking news article or update is no where to be found.
