User Reviews

Most reviews are negative due to ads, autoplay audio, and navigation issues, with only a minority praising local-news coverage. Users cite reliable Dayton coverage and concise recaps as positives, but frequent intrusive ads, auto-playing videos, and streaming/bias problems significantly hinder the experience. The app has value for local news, but UX needs major improvement.

Pros

Strong local news coverage with concise recaps that some users consider the best in Dayton.
Some users view the app as their go-to local news source in Dayton.
Nice recap of local news.

Cons

Heavy and intrusive ads, including pop-ups and full-screen ads.
Autoplay videos start at full volume when opening stories, disrupting reading.
Poor navigation and layout; difficulty reading articles and dismissing ads.
Live video feed often fails to load or stream reliably.
Perceived political bias and one-sided reporting.

Recent reviews

Just worked a double shift at AK steel finally took my first break at 8:00pm to watch “know to grow” opened this app to an ad then opened “watch now” to another ad then to my great disappointment I was given news from 5pm. WOW I thought I had gone through a wormhole and ended up going back 3 hours but unfortunately no. Morale of the story if you want live news don’t come here unless you want to learn about Epstein and day old news.

tried wdtn 2 news after too many issues with channel 7 news app on iphone. News article articles are in some kind of giant font. I get two words per line. I tried the icon for smaller font, it makes no difference. App is pretty useless. Dayton doesn't seem to have a good news app. Using iPhone XR.
