User Reviews

Users generally like Erie News Now for quick local headlines, live video, and useful weather alerts, including school closures. However, multiple reviews spotlight across-the-board ad excess that interrupts reading, including startup ads. A significant number of comments note reliability issues like blank screens and failures to open articles or weather advisories. Some worry about content quality and bias, and a few point to grammar errors and outdated information. Weather features sometimes lag or lack radar. Access can be affected by external issues (e.g., Dish Network outages), and design changes have frustrated readers who prefer reading articles.

Pros

Fast access to local Erie news headlines.
Live news streaming and full video playback.
Weather information and alerts, including school closures and community events.
Ability to look back at past headlines and watch older videos.
Reliable coverage for Erie-area news and events, useful even when traveling.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads, including startup ads, disrupt reading and viewing.
App reliability issues: blank screens, stories not loading, and occasional crashes.
Content quality concerns: perceived political bias and frequent grammar/punctuation errors.
Weather features frequently malfunction (non-opening advisories) and sometimes show outdated or missing radar.
Accessibility issues and design changes limiting access for some users (Dish Network outage, changes that hide stories).

Recent reviews

If anyone wants to see local people celebrating, they can go see them. Network sports are just as important to homebound people. You have a lot of nerve cutting off a national golf tournament to show people at picnics.

I understand the need for revenue but the number of ads is extreme. Especially the now add at startup. I’ll be going somewhere else for my local news.
