User Reviews

Users largely praise WMUR for strong local NH news and useful weather, plus timely alerts and some perception of balanced reporting. However, recurring issues include political bias in national coverage, a heavy ad and notification load, reliability problems (crashes, resets, playback issues), and privacy concerns over data sharing with Hearst.

Pros

Customizable breaking news alerts that deliver updates as they happen
Strong local New Hampshire news coverage
Weather features (radar and forecasts) are accurate and often better than the iPhone Weather app
Video content is available for most stories, enhancing engagement
Some users perceive neutral/balanced reporting amid overall coverage

Cons

Perceived political bias and lack of balanced national coverage
Ad-heavy experience with frequent ads and banners that interrupt reading
Stability and playback issues such as crashes, pauses, top-of-page resets, and auto-playing videos with sound
Push notifications feel excessive or irrelevant throughout the day
Privacy concerns due to data sharing with Hearst and related data-use worries

Recent reviews

I find that WMUR has become more biased in its reporting of national news. The local news reporting is better when it comes to what is happening around the state but politically speaking it’s very one sided so as soon as that start I watch something else

I enjoy getting breaking news but NOT the same thing several times a day.

WMUR is one of my daily app reviews. However, I am very often frustrated with the app frequently resetting to the top of the page requiring me to scroll through already read content to get to the next story. No other news app does this. I have done all that I can on my end to ensure it’s not “user error”. I’m asking the developer to fix this bug as I’m sure I’m not the only frustrated user.
