## Review summary

Users largely complain that the WEAU 13 News app crashes or fails to open, often after updates or on older iPads/iOS. The experience is heavily burdened by ads, sometimes with sound, and ad density interferes with reading and loading. Several reviews accuse the app of political bias or lack of neutrality, and privacy concerns about tracking are raised, aided by iOS privacy reports. Accessibility issues include non-adjustable font sizes. Some feedback notes that the app provides local news and weather coverage, and that it can be an improvement over the website, but overall sentiment is negative.
