User Reviews

Most reviewers praise WSB-TV News for reliable local coverage and a broad, go-to source for weather and news. The app is easy to use with fast access and can be watched anywhere. However, ads are a common complaint, and loading issues—including stories not opening and repeated notifications—are frequent negatives. Some users dislike the traffic feature and perceive political bias. Overall, reliability and coverage are valued, but ads and load problems are recurring pain points.

Pros

Comprehensive coverage of news and weather; go-to source for staying informed.
Easy to use and navigate with fast access to content.

Cons

Ads are excessive and intrusive, with long ad intros.
Content loading issues: stories don’t open, white space, or the app fails to load.
Traffic feature is poorly implemented; the old version was better.
Perceived bias in news content.
Occasional confusion or inconsistent UX.

Recent reviews

Clickbait bull . no news of value. junk headlines, over and over again for clicks. To top that off they have advertising that looks like real news in the middle of story. This feel predatory and unsafe for vulnerable people.
