Users praise WLBT for local weather and reporting but complain repeatedly about intrusive ads, a stubborn notification badge, and stability problems that prevent opening or refreshing content. They also report usability drawbacks from design changes, such as copy/link sharing and photo zoom, and occasional non-English ad content. Overall sentiment is negative due to ad overload and reliability issues, despite appreciation for weather accuracy and local coverage.
