User Reviews

Overall, users praise WTAE’s app for timely local news and weather updates, strong Pittsburgh coverage, and easy access. However, recurring issues include instability (crashes/freeze), an intrusive ad load, outdated content, perceived bias, and frustrating navigation/UX (articles closing early, returning to the top). These detract from the experience and push some users to seek alternatives, despite solid content.

Pros

Strong Pittsburgh-focused coverage and trusted local source
Easy access to information and continuously updated content
Weather forecasts are accurate / competitive

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes, plus scrolling/navigation glitches
Excessive ads and paid content, including ads on startup and in videos
Outdated or stale content and stories not refreshed promptly
Perceived bias in reporting and leaning in coverage
Poor navigation/UX: articles closing early, returning to the top, and layout issues on tablets

They love twisting story to cause hate and division.

The weather hardly updates. If you’re looking at the 10 day, it’ll say the wrong forecast up until that day when even Channel 4’s TV broadcast changed the forecast days prior. So if you’re looking for up-to-date weather forecasts, this app isn’t it. Very disappointing.
