User Reviews

WGEM News for iOS gets mixed reviews. Many users complain the app delivers outdated or insufficient local Illinois news and poor weather coverage, with little local relevance outside Quincy. Updates are slow, weekends are rarely refreshed, and some people report persistent errors after upgrades or cases where the app won’t open or download. A redesigned layout is criticized for being harder to read, with several fans preferring the old format. A smaller portion appreciates stable operation, timely updates, and notification features. Overall, reliability and local relevance are the main pain points, with some positives around delivery and alerts.

Pros

App sometimes works reliably.
Some users consider the app current/up-to-date.
Notifications are appreciated by some users.

Cons

Inadequate local coverage and outdated news content.
Content not updated often, with weak weekend refreshes.
App frequently crashes or shows error messages after updates; some devices won’t open or download.
New layout is harder to read; users often prefer the old format.
Weather alerts are missing or not reliable.

No news from WGEM or very little on Illinois policy which should be on your news. Our governor or our taxes or Chicago running our views.

This is possibly the most disappointing app I’ve downloaded. If I want to see news and weather from a thousand miles away I have multiple other, and much better, apps for that.
