User Reviews

WBAL NewsRadio's reviews highlight strong local news content and reliable live streaming, but the experience is marred by intrusive ads, crashes after updates, and streaming interruptions. The recurring themes are ad overload, stability problems, and playback issues, with some users unhappy about redesigns or updates. Overall, content quality is appreciated, while reliability and ad burden are the primary pain points.

Pros

High-quality local news coverage and Baltimore-centric content.
Integrated live streaming with access to weather and traffic along with news.
Generally reliable performance over years with effective bug fixes and ongoing support.

Cons

Intrusive, repetitive ads that disrupt reading and listening (ads across articles, at start, and pop-ups).
Crashes and instability, especially after updates or on launch, causing blank screens or inability to load content.
Streaming interruptions and playback issues (dropouts, overlap with ads, delays during transitions).
Update/UX changes that degrade usability or reorganize content in ways users dislike.

Recent reviews

App is buggy, plays the same ad over and over again.

I’m using this app for the content, which is great. The app is horrible. The approach to ads could’ve been better developed by a kid. Extremely frustrating to use and impossible while on the go.
