User Reviews

Users value WNEP for trusted local news and real-time weather, but reliability is a major concern. Repeated crashes and freezes, update-induced glitches (including missing radar maps and disrupted notifications), and content loading failures detract from the experience. Notification control issues add frustration. Overall, it works well when stable, but stability and feature accessibility problems are the primary drawbacks.

Pros

Trusted local news presence with familiar anchors and a family-like newsroom vibe
Real-time news updates as events happen
Accurate weather forecasts and credible weather reporting/presenters
Useful severe weather and top stories notifications

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezing, and general instability
Update-related glitches and loss of features (e.g., radar/maps, access to notifications) after updates
Weather radar/map functionality broken or removed (no longer available or unreliable)
Content not loading or the app being unresponsive at times
Notification control issues (alerts persist or can’t be turned off)
