User Reviews

Users like the app for its local news focus and unbiased reporting, making it a go-to source for many. However, reliability and usability are repeatedly cited as problems: frequent crashes, excessive ads, inability to view live news, and stale content. Update-induced UI changes (missing navigation, font issues, no search) further degrade the experience. Addressing stability, timeliness of updates, and core features would improve overall satisfaction.

Pros

Strong local news coverage that many users rely on.
Perceived lack of political bias in reporting.
Loyalty to the app as the go-to local news source for many users.
Some users appreciate Nextstar updates mentioned in the app.

Cons

Frequent freezing/crashing and unresponsiveness.
Heavy or intrusive advertisements with limited ad control.
Inability to watch live news or access on-demand/live streaming.
Content is often stale or not updated timely (weekends or days-old articles).
UI/navigation issues introduced by updates (missing buttons to news, font issues, lack of search, landscape mode).

Recent reviews

When you go to watch a post you are interested in they show commercials first then when waiting for the next one it show another commercial. The other news apps I have do not do that maybe one commercial before you look at the stories you want. I will be deleting this app.

UPDATE!!! Found a load conflict with another national news app. Not sure if the root cause. Unloaded national news app and WTAJ news works like a charm! Will stay with my WTAJ for all media news.. like the Nextstar updates!!! App loads, then freezes on main screen. Where is the QA prior to release???? Here’s a concept: try user acceptance testing like done many years ago!!!! Ready, shoot, aim never works in code development!!!!!
