Review summary

Users appreciate Erie News Now for providing good local news and weather updates with live cameras and radar features. However, multiple users report frequent crashes and performance issues, especially after recent updates. Scrolling and navigation are frustrating due to sensitive swipe controls and misdirected links. Weather data inaccuracies and problems loading weather sections affect user experience. Overall, while the app offers valuable content, technical and usability issues negatively impact its reliability and ease of use.

2025-01-07	B *****	When app was updated awhile ago it wiped out all my weather places except for local ones you list. B4 upd I could add a location by place name. Now I can't do that I have to know the zipcode of place. How many people know the zipcodes of places they want to check the weather for? My answer is very few. How many zipcodes of non local places do you know? Why get rid of something that was very good & useful. Thanks in advance for checking this out & hopefully fixing it to how it was b4 that update.

2024-12-02	Mi*****	Good but not great. Impossible to view the doppler because of how sensitive the page is. Trying to scroll down is a nightmare as it registers side to side movement as well and changes tab.

2024-12-01	Su*****	This was my go to app for local news and updates.... I absolutely HATE the usability of the current version! It does not allow me to scroll without it going from side to side into other categories! Please fix this so I don't have to find another local app.
