User Reviews

WSAZ News is valued for its local Huntington WV news and a friendly, easy-to-navigate presentation and has been a long-time dependable choice. However, multiple reviews highlight a disappointing shift after a recent update to an ad-heavy experience, along with slow loads and inconsistent reliability. Accessibility is a concern, as users report font-size controls don’t work. Video playback and full-screen use also have issues (screen not staying on and rotation problems). Overall, core content is praised, but users want faster performance, fewer ads, and better accessibility controls.

Pros

Best local news & weather for Huntington WV.
I like their people and their presentation. Sincere yet down to earth.
I grew up watching WSAZ one of my favorite news apps keep up the good work.
easy to move around on
My choice for many years. Always dependable

Cons

Ads-first after latest update; intrusive ads at the top.
Very slow page load times and overall performance issues.
App sometimes won’t load or work at all / reliability problems.
Cannot enlarge font size or text for better readability.
Full-screen video playback issues (screen not staying on / rotation problems) and related playback bugs

Way too many ads!

You just couldn't leave the 3 & 10 day weather forecast and live radar on here. No now I have to download yet another app to do what this app has done faithfully for years. Now your new weather app looks cartoonist. Believe I'll just uninstall both and go with WOWK or WCHS.

If you live in the Charleston tri-state area, and like your news on the go, this is your app! I love it because I can watch all the newscasts on the go or a recording of one if I missed it. There's also a weather feed so you can get all your local weather forecasts within a few minutes. yes they have ads but it's very minimal, and that's standard nowadays. I have also won a 75 inch Roku TV from them! Top quality news! I love WSAZ!! Good honest people just making a living! Thank you WSAZ !
