User Reviews

Users praise WSET ABC 13 for broad local and general news with reliable breaking alerts, and for helping users catch up on missed central Virginia TV news. However, recurring problems dominate reviews: the app frequently crashes or freezes, and updates render it hard to open or navigate. Weather features are inconsistent and outdated. Content quality suffers due to too much national coverage and too little local focus, and some report video playback or live streams failing. Overall, reliability is the main concern despite strong alert features.

Pros

Broad local and general news coverage with emphasis on local information.
Strong notifications and breaking news alerts used by many.
Helps catch up on missed central Virginia TV news.

Cons

Frequent crashes/freezes and occasional failures to open the app.
Weather features are unreliable; weather tab may not load and forecasts feel outdated.
Update-induced usability issues; new layout and navigation problems with broken links.
Content lacks local focus; too much national coverage.
Video playback and live streams often fail or content does not load.

Update- weather portion is working. App seems to be functioning well now, raised a star. Update- since the latest update, weather tab wont open. The news app is okay. It is rarely updated on weekends, but does give some local news the rest of the time. On the weather portion, Hourly temps are returned but they do not go as far in the future as they did. I will continue to use this app . I use the weather portion almost everyday. We liked the hourly feature where you could see temperatures for each hour of the day. This feature is now not as extended and useful. Updates always make it worse. Just a note: i really dont want to have to load an additional app for the weather. That seems ridiculous and just crowds my phone. So no to that. I will use a competitors news and weather app before i do that.

If you read to the end of an article it suggests other stories, however they are usually weeks old. This is especially annoying in winter when it announces an approaching snowstorm followed by the coldest temperatures of the season. After checking the weather, I realized the story must have been from last month, however there’s no date showing when it was reported. This problem seems to be consistent for Sinclair stations, such as WJlA-7 in DC.
