User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's local news coverage and urgent notifications when functioning correctly. However, recurring technical issues such as freezing, crashing, slow loading, and confusing navigation significantly degrade the experience. Additionally, intrusive advertisements and unreliable or excessive alerts frustrate users, leading many to consider alternative news apps.

Pros

Provides urgent news notifications when pop-ups work properly
Good TV news content reflected in the app
Covers local news and weather relevant to the viewing area

Cons

App frequently freezes and crashes, especially when opening articles
Pop-up notifications and alerts are unreliable or too frequent
App contains intrusive and long-loading ads that disrupt user experience
Poor app performance with slow page loading and white blank screens
Interface is frustrating with unintended page switches and glitches after updates

Recent reviews

Pathetic app. Ads for PDF Reader are oppressive and freeze the user. I uninstalled it. I wish WECT fixes this issue that makes the app unusable.

The format is too busy. I like a simple format without ads interspersed throughout the articles.

I don't like that I can't scroll pages, like before the latest update. I have to go back to the original page and scroll for the next article. It’s very time consuming. Please change this to be able to scroll from page to page.
