User Reviews

Post-update reviews focus on four recurring issues: weather/radar failures (blank pages, wrong location, unusable radar), a confusing revamped UI that makes content hard to find, stability/maintenance concerns (frequent freezes and little recent updating), and intrusive ads that hinder use. Despite these, users still rely on WNEP for timely local news and appreciate the channel’s presence, especially when traveling. Overall sentiment is skewed toward usability and reliability problems, with some appreciation for the local-news value.

Pros

Provides timely local news updates.
Keeps users connected to their area even when traveling away from home.
Channel 16 is a trusted local news source and is regularly watched.
App maintains a familiar brand experience and generally runs well.

Cons

Weather and radar features are broken or unavailable after updates (blank pages, wrong location, radar not usable).
New UI/navigation is confusing and content is hard to find after the update (no dropdowns, links not loading, flow feels inconsistent).
App freezes frequently and some users report the app hasn’t received updates in a year, indicating maintenance issues.
Ads and pop-ups interfere with reading and navigation (dense box ads and banner ads that hinder tapping).
