User Reviews

Users largely report that the WDAM Local News app is riddled with stability and ad problems. The most common complaints are that the app crashes or stops loading stories, and that video playback is repeatedly interrupted by ads. Many users also note notification glitches, such as alerts that won't clear or that appear with no new content. Privacy concerns are raised about location service requirements to use the app. While some appreciate WDAM's local news and weather content, these issues dominate the feedback and erode trust, especially after updates that seemingly regress performance.

Pros

Provides local news coverage for the community via the WDAM app.
Keeps users up-to-date with local information and weather content.
Brand familiarity and continuity for long-time WDAM viewers.

Cons

Frequent crashes or failure to load stories, including mid-download/white screen issues.
Excessive and intrusive ads that interrupt video and drown out news content.
Live video streams frequently fail to play or are interrupted by ads.
Notifications and alerts are hard to manage, with un-dismissible or useless alerts.
Privacy concerns due to location services being required to use the app.

I live not far from the station and can’t get my app to play live. I just canceled dish ( the day before it came back on) because couldn’t get my local news. All my other apps have no problem playing just Wdam live.
