User Reviews

Users praise real-time local news and weather coverage and easy access on the go, with credible reporting. But multiple reviews note issues after updates: iPad orientation failures, a non-removable radar temperature overlay, app freezes, and intrusive prompts and ads. The main requests are improved stability, better orientation support, and more customizable alerts.

Pros

Real-time coverage of local news and weather.
Up-to-date information for the Norfolk/Hampton Roads area.
Convenient on-the-go access to news and weather.
Credible, straightforward journalism without sensationalism.
User-friendly design with clear content and updates.

Cons

iPad orientation/display issues: app won’t switch to landscape and defaults to the phone layout.
Radar map shows a temperature overlay that cannot be removed, cluttering the view.
App freezes or opens to a small screen and cannot be closed after update.
Frequent prompts to download/update disrupt normal use.
Ads and commercials are overly intrusive while watching news/weather.

Recent reviews

What a disaster of an app update! Background white is harsh, absolutely ZERO presentation/layout. Did you assign this task to first-graders? Hard pass. Just dropped WVEC as a local news source.
