User Reviews

Users generally praise WKTV NewsChannel 2 + Weather for clear local news presentation and professional coverage, with some appreciation for hometown news. However, major recurring issues include outdated content and infrequent updates, frequent buffering and playback problems (including live streams and ad loops), persistent app instability and crashes across devices, intrusive advertisements, and repetitive or stale stories. The main pain points are reliability and timeliness, while the quality of reporting remains a potential strength when the app functions properly.

Professional and on top of local and national news.
Local news presented clearly and to the point.

Cons

Outdated content and delayed updates; local news often days old.
Frequent buffering and playback problems on multiple devices; live broadcasts frequently won’t load and ads can loop.
App instability and crashes; sometimes won’t open and requires force restart.
Intrusive, long advertisements interrupt video playback.
Repetitive or stale stories; same coverage appears every day.
