User Reviews

User reviews show WDAM Local News is praised for good news content and keeping users informed, with some noting it feels like watching TV. Major complaints focus on usability: intrusive ads, frequent crashes or loading failures, excessive or irrelevant notifications, and update-induced UI issues like blank screens and clunky tiles. While content quality is appreciated, ad-heavy features and instability hamper the experience.

Pros

Great/good news content (positive coverage praised in multiple reviews).
Keeps you informed and up-to-date.
Useful / informative app for getting news and weather.

Cons

Intrusive advertising (full-page ads with sound and ads that play before content).
Crashes, won’t open, and slow loading times.
Too many or irrelevant push notifications.
Update-related UI problems (blank/white screens and poorly functioning tiles).

Recent reviews

too many notices on trivial issues, not enough important issues covered. Also, not properly designed for Android phone applications. Text runs over other text and screens. Shows error codes at bottom of many screens.

on a TCL/Google TV WDAM news App will not stop showing CC (closed Captions) in spite of us changing it to none. SEVERAL times!! It would be ok, if it were not in the middle of the screen. So glad to have the local news on my tv with the app, but its annoying.
