User Reviews

Users praise WSFA 12 News for local news and weather updates and overall usefulness. However, they repeatedly cite reliability problems: the app crashes or won’t open, stories won’t load or are hard to access, and notifications may be non-functional. Ad-heavy UI interferes with reading. Compatibility issues on certain devices and TV platforms exacerbate the experience. Despite strengths in coverage and weather detail, stability and UX need significant fixes.

Pros

Keeps users updated on news and local weather.
Detailed weather forecasts.
Good local/community news coverage.
Generally useful for staying informed about daily events.

Cons

Frequent crashes or the app won't open after updates.
Intrusive ads that block content and reading.
Stories fail to load or are hard to navigate/read.
Notifications don’t work or can’t be enabled.
Device/TV compatibility issues (not supported on some devices or Google TV).

Recent reviews

ad revenue clearly more important than substance.

I am about to delete this app for very nearly being malware. When I open a story a loud (compared to other apps) video ad plays (imagine this in public), with no way short of closing the app to stop it (maybe 1 in 4 eventually get a skip button). This is followed by an equally loud video that doesn't always relate to the story (often with broken controls). Further, the app faces my phone to stay awake, sometimes even when the app is only in the background, presumably so I can "enjoy" the ad.

I've enjoyed using this app for the last 10-15 years to watch/livestream the newscasts when out of state. this new version belongs in rhe barnyard manure pile. trying to watch a newscast is an exercise in frustration -- more ads than program while I get 10-20 seconds of story before I get more ads. PLEASE FIX. I'd like to see an entire story rather than the current 1st sentence or partial two before getting ad.
