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Concerns about biased content, non-local focus, and outdated sports coverage.
