User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise WBAY as a long-time local news source, but the recent update is widely criticized. The top concerns are auto-playing videos with sound, disruptive ads, and a cumbersome redesign that worsens navigation and performance. Users report stability problems (unable to open or load content) and intrusive notification sounds. Many wish to revert to the previous version or gain options to disable auto-play, mute sound, and reduce ad intensity to restore a smoother, more readable experience.
Pros
  • Longstanding go-to source for daily local news and sports.
  • Widely used by readers as their primary local news app for years.
Cons
  • Auto-playing videos with sound and no option to mute or disable autoplay.
  • Intrusive ads, including full-screen ads and video ads, that interrupt reading and consume data/battery.
  • Poor redesign causing a worse user experience: messy layout, scrolling stutter, and loss of navigation features like swipe back.
  • App reliability issues: difficulty opening the app or loading content, with crashes or freezes.
  • Loud notification sounds (doorbell-like tones) and unread badges that are hard to mute or clear.
Recent reviews
Not only is the performance of the WBAY News app redesign bad, it no longer provides up-to-date news. The most recent news it provides is from the day prior, as if it is a printed newspaper.

The adds interfere with my enjoyment of the articles. They should only play if you want them to play

I hate that videos play automatically and there is nothing in settings to turn it off.
