User Reviews

Users value having local news and weather in a mobile app and praise the local reporting and weekend sports. However, many reviews note pervasive ads and intrusive behavior, repeated reliability issues (freezes/crashes), perceived political bias, confusing UI updates, and disruptive auto-playing audio. These recurring concerns appear across multiple reviews.

Pros

Convenient access to local news and weather in a mobile app.
Strong local news coverage with good reporting quality.
Weekend sports coverage is a highlight for users.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads, including pop-ups, browser redirects, and trackers/privacy concerns.
Frequent app freezes/crashes and unreliable navigation after updates.
Perceived political bias in coverage by the app.
UI/UX issues after updates, such as layout changes and choppy reading experience.
Autoplay or unexpectedly loud audio disrupts reading.

Recent reviews

Sketchy layout and hit with ads first thing. Could be better if they put in some Siri suggestions to access certain parts quick. Don’t think I’d recommend.

This app could not be worse even if you tried. Surrender, it’s time to start over and build a new app from the ground up. Look at your competitors 21 & 55 and try to do better than them. After you complete your effort, have real people try it out before you release another app that is an embarrassment to the professional on air teams creating the product.

I like Wane for the local news. But OMG enough with the political bias! We get it. You’re anti anything Trump. WE. GET. IT. Ok? Now if you don’t mind spilling the truth rather than propaganda, it’s greatly appreciated.
