User Reviews

Users praise WDRB News for an easy-to-use interface and strong local coverage, including reliable weather and a friendly morning team. However, recurring issues include stability problems (crashes/blank screens), heavy ads, notification inconsistencies, and a disruptive UI redesign that hampers navigation and content finding. Some users also experience content loading problems and slow support. Overall, the app delivers solid local news content but needs stability and UI improvements.

Pros

Easy-to-use interface with strong local Louisville/Kentucky news and weather information.
24/7 access to news and weather with reliable local coverage.
Engaging morning show staff that creates a friendly, family-like feel.
Essential local-news source, especially when other channels are unavailable.

Cons

Frequent app instability: crashes, blank screens, and update-related freezes.
Ad overload with too many commercials and pop-ups; difficult to mute ads.
Notification/alert issues: too many alerts, duplicates, and unreliable delivery.
Recent UI redesign makes navigation harder: small text, cluttered layout, and lost features.
Content-loading problems: articles not opening or showing 'no content available' messages.

The combination of two different stations into one app has been an epic fail!! People tune in and use an app for the content - not being forced to see another stations content. I fear this is the beginning of the end to WDRB & WAVE, each with their strengths. Forcing users to download the WAVE weather app is ludicrous - especially due to inferior weather product.
