User Reviews

User reviews repeatedly point to stability and ad-related problems as the core issues. The app crashes or won’t open after updates, ads overwhelm the user experience, and notifications for every story annoy users. Navigation and video playback UX are buggy, and some reviewers feel local coverage is lacking or biased. A minority note positive aspects like access to local news/weather and praise for on-air talent, but these are largely outweighed by the functional and content-quality concerns.

Pros

Local news and weather information is accessible in the WBKO News app.
Positive remarks about WBKO's on-air talent (e.g., praise for meteorologists) reflect content quality.

Cons

Intrusive and pervasive ads, including ads before the home page and ads that hinder reaching content.
App stability issues: frequent crashes or failures to open after updates, sometimes preventing use.
Overuse of Breaking News notifications and alerts for every story, cluttering the notification stream.
Poor navigation and video UX: swiping sometimes advances stories instead of scrolling, back-out returns to top, and fullscreen video may not work as expected.
Perceived bias or neglect of local coverage (Bowling Green area) with reported focus on outside areas or partisan framing.

Recent reviews

This app used to be a whole lot better now you gotta pop up every 30 seconds you can’t scroll through the apps just by swiping and if you click on something say down at the bottom of the screen, then when you back out, it starts you all the way back at the top of the list
