User Reviews

The WOWT First Alert 6 News Omaha app is plagued by intrusive ads, autoplay audio, and frequent crashes after updates, making it hard to use. Sharing stories often fails, navigation feels broken or less intuitive, and the weather feature now forces users to rely on a separate app. Some reviewers note the app was previously reliable and are open to adapting to changes, but the overall sentiment is frustration with the update.

Pros

Provides local news coverage (core function of the app).
Was perceived as reliable and relatively stable prior to the latest update.
Some users express willingness to adapt to the new layout.

Cons

Intrusive ads and auto-playing videos with loud sound that cannot be muted.
Frequent crashes and loading issues after updates.
Share functionality (share icon/links) often not working.
Poor navigation/UX after the update (clunky UI, missing features, harder to navigate).
Weather information is hard to view in the app or requires installing a separate weather app.

Recent reviews

Can’t find any live coverage for severe storms. I will stick to paramount plus and it’s live streaming broadcast of local news. Uninstalling

The updated App is ridiculous with Ads. Some of the stories when opened play a loud video that cannot be stopped without exiting. It is clear to me that Gray Media is more interested in forcing Ads to make money than providing a news source. I am deleting this App and going to KETV’s App.
