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)
