### 1/5 — T

*2026-02-05*

Doesn't work

### 5/5 — Cump

*2026-01-10*

Great

### 2/5 — Latest update is the reason I deleted the app

*2024-02-24*

The latest update asked for me to update alerts/notifications. Updating breaking news was fine but on the iPhone SE after updating the weather location I could not scroll down to an update button

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2024-02-13*

The app no longer works on my iPad. It opens and immediately closes!
Not helpful!

### 1/5 — Ads

*2021-02-27*

To many ads

### 1/5 — Live broadcast

*2021-02-07*

You took away the live broadcast of the news! I don’t live in the area so my ‘Internet Provider’ isn’t on your list of providers and will never be - Pittsburgh. 
I enjoyed watching the news and keeping tabs on events in the NEPA region. Now, I can’t watch. 
I’m sure I’m not the only one annoyed. Funny I can watch Philadelphia stations.

### 2/5 — Live feeds NEVER play

*2020-11-04*

It doesn’t matter what internet I have. From LTE to various WiFi connections, live feeds never, ever happen. To make matters worse, there’s more to see on live feeds than anything else on the app so I miss most of the news I follow.

### 1/5 — Why bother

*2020-10-10*

One of the most useless apps created. Lucky if it stays connected to watch news and weather. Wouldn’t expect anything else. DeathStar wants you to get Newsnation app, haha I don’t think so.

### 5/5 — Best News Station In Northeastern Pennsylvania

*2020-10-05, version 4.35.570056923*

PPp

### 5/5 — New reporter

*2020-01-27*

Love the new faces Julie and Kevin. They are a great improvement!!! They both know how to speak well and have a professional appearance... hoping you keep them and replace the misfits
