User Reviews

Most reviews criticize WLOS ABC13 for instability and a heavy ad experience. Users report crashes and freezes, hangs on startup, and black screens after updates, plus no landscape mode on iPad. The app is said to be hard to navigate with layout and scrolling glitches caused by ads, and update changes often cut off older versions or cause outages. A few mention quick access and convenience as positives, but overall sentiment is negative due to reliability and user experience issues.

Pros

Quick, easy access to WLOS content and audio playback (reviews mention the app being easy to open and to listen to stories).
Having WLOS at your fingertips is viewed positively by some users, reflecting convenient local news access.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability (opening the app often crashes or hangs; black screens after updates).
Lack of landscape mode / no landscape support on iPad and in newer designs.
Intrusive and abundant ads, including video ads before content, and ads that hinder scrolling or viewing.
Poor navigation and layout issues (difficult to navigate, layout changes, scrolling glitches related to ads).
Update-related outages and compatibility problems (old versions removed or unusable after updates; connectivity issues post-update).

Recent reviews

Was great for years when you’d only get occasional alerts for breaking news or weather, but the latest update alerts your phone for every stupid story possible. It’s completely unnecessary, annoying, & distracting, & there is no way to turn it off. After using this app since it first launched it’s a shame that I’m now forced to delete it & look elsewhere for local or breaking news.
