User Reviews

Users appreciate WIFR for personalized weather updates, breaking-news alerts, and a portable livestream with clear weather graphics. When the news section works it offers video news and articles. However, multiple reviews report recurring issues: the News feature is flaky and not reliably loading, the app can crash or fail to launch on various iPhones, and ads/subscription prompts interfere with the experience. Overall sentiment is mixed—strong weather features and accessible news when functional are offset by stability problems and an intrusive ad environment.
Pros
  • Easy to personalize with weather updates and breaking news notifications.
  • Reliable local weather with clear graphics and a portable livestream.
  • News section works and provides video news or articles when functioning.
Cons
  • News content is flaky/unreliable and often won’t load or update.
  • App crashes or won’t launch on some devices (e.g., iPhone X/6).
  • Ad-heavy experience with frequent ads and subscription prompts that disrupt content.

At all. News? Not really…. Glitchy and pointless - birthdays galore but no news that really tells what is going on…

This app is no longer accessible with voiceover. Hopefully the app developer can get this issue fixed immediately.
