User Reviews

Reviews collectively say WWLP 22News is a decent local-news source when it works, but reliability and usability are poor. The dominant complaints are intrusive ads and video ads that autoplay, which interrupt reading. Additional issues include frequent crashes and loading failures after updates, redirects to Safari or blank pages, and difficult navigation with small font. A few reviewers express nostalgia for earlier versions. Overall, ads and instability overshadow benefits, prompting some users to switch to the website or a competitor.
Pros
  • Core value as a local news and weather source when the app is functioning.
  • Familiar/nostalgic experience for long-time WWLP users.
  • Generally informative content when not plagued by bugs.
Cons
  • Excessive ads and pop-ups interrupt reading.
  • Autoplaying video ads that can't be easily disabled.
  • Frequent crashes, freezes, and failures to load after updates.
  • Redirects to Safari or blank pages when trying to read articles.
  • Difficult navigation and small font making content hard to read.
