User Reviews

User feedback is largely negative. The main complaints are intrusive ads, unstable performance, and a weather/map feature that no longer functions reliably after updates. Notification and navigation quirks (alerts not linking to stories, awkward back/landscape UX) and concerns about bias/non-local content round out the issues. A minority of reviews express appreciation, citing long-term use or accessibility on iPhone/iPad, but overall sentiment favors trying alternatives.

Pros

Some reviewers say they love the app or call it a great app.
Users note the app works on iPhone and iPad (cross-device use).
Longtime users rely on WGME’s weather app for updates.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads that interrupt use and push to external pages.
Stability and UX problems: sluggish performance, crashes, buttons or features not working, and lack of landscape support on some devices.
Weather map/forecast features degraded after updates and are no longer reliable.
Notifications/alerts do not link to the relevant story and navigation (back button) is awkward.
Concerns about biased content, non-local focus, and outdated sports coverage.

I am disappointed. It keeps crashing, because my browser blocks it because it is tracking when I am on the web.

Deleted the app today. You can’t scroll without inadvertently opening an ad. It’s obnoxious. I get the need for ad revenue but there are more ads than news.

Needs to be able to alphabetize the places that I’ve looked up for weather. The list is basically random, so I have to scroll to find a particular town I’ve searched for previously. Would be much easier to be able to alphabetize. Thanks.
