User Reviews

Users appreciate the 21Alive News app for delivering reliable and unbiased local news and weather for Fort Wayne. However, common complaints include outdated or missing article updates, persistent and excessive notifications, slow performance, and frustrating technical issues such as broken features and crashes. Additionally, recent app changes to weather presentation and an increase in intrusive ads have negatively impacted user experience.

Pros

Provides reliable local news and weather updates.
App is informative and keeps users up to date on happenings around the city.
Good for viewers interested in Fort Wayne area news rather than neighboring cities.
The news presented is unbiased and straightforward.
Some users find it better than competing apps like WANE app due to less intrusive ads at launch.

Cons

Frequent issues with notifications: excessive, irrelevant, or persist despite being turned off.
App often fails to update news articles timely, sometimes not updating for over a day.
Technical problems including slow loading, app crashes, and malfunctioning features (e.g., share button, school closings section).
Unwanted pop-up advertisements and excessive advertising reducing user experience.
Weather section changes removed previous convenient features like radar view and quick forecast glance, leading to user dissatisfaction.

Recent reviews

21alive app doesn't update articles very fast if at all. I have found many spelling errors and I had to shut off notifications because I was getting way too many weather notifications.
