User Reviews

Users praise WBNG 12 News for timely local closings and a sense of connection to family and community. However, many reviews flag stale content, heavy ads, reliability problems (loading, crashes, streaming), perceived bias, and gaps in coverage (weekends, outages, sports). Overall, the app is valued for closings but criticized for current-news freshness and streaming reliability as well as editorial tone.

Pros

School closings and weather alerts are generally kept up-to-date, making it a reliable tool for planning.
The local focus helps users stay connected with what’s happening in their community and with family.
Some users value having a local news source in one app for quick access to local updates.

Cons

Content and updates are frequently stale or not updated in a timely fashion.
Ads are intrusive, with multiple pre-video ads and long ad breaks before streams.
Reliability issues: the app won’t load, stays on the splash screen, or crashes; streaming often freezes.
Perceived political bias in reporting / left-leaning slant.
Coverage gaps: closings and delays are not shown all at once; some events (power outages, sports) are not well covered.

Recent reviews

App works fine but content is always outdated. If you’re looking for news from the last day or two, look elsewhere. School closings list is usually up to date and the only reason I keep the app.

Opened an article, and the first thing I saw was the town misspelled. Clicked the video link and there were FOUR ads before the video ran. And then the video was a totally different story than what it was supposed to be.

How can you get Jim Raftis’ name wrong? Can’t your field reporters understand English or are they just deaf? I was taught to ask someone to spell a name I wasn’t familiar with before quoting them or about them.
