### 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

### 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.

### 3/5 — Sports

*2019-10-16*

Disappointed because you carry so much high school football, there are a lot of other students that play other sports and don’t get enough recognition!

### 2/5 — Old version better

*2019-06-16*

New version is terrible. Commercials breaking in and music coming from somewhere. Old version was better.

### 2/5 — So so

*2017-07-04*

You have just enough on your pages to get my interest but when you select an item the details are pretty skimpy.

### 1/5 — Not easy to navigate

*2015-05-08, version 2.11.0*

I gave them 1 star only because they would not let me give them 0.  Not easy to navigate, old news, and not easy on the eyes.  They have a whole section on Eric Frien still, really why?  If looking at all red is easy on your eyes then I guess you'll like this app.  Update it please.

### 2/5 — Poor

*2013-11-14, version 1.32.0*

Misleading info from TV. Not as indicated

### 1/5 — Weather true view

*2013-06-24, version 1.29.0*

Very poor old version was better. You would expect better from WBRE. App is too limited and difficult to read.

### 1/5 — Latest update needs work

*2013-06-11*

I have an Apple iPhone 5 (just for the record).  This update keeps reloading the weather maps. There are 11 layers to load and they DO......REPEATEDLY. The map animation starts and then suddenly levels 7 through 11 start loading again. The map animation starts and suddenly levels 5 through 11 starts loading AGAIN....AND AGAIN
.... AND AGAIN.  This app definitely needs some work....perhaps a debug program.

### 1/5 — Stinks,only takes up half of iPhone screen, the rest is grey.

*2013-06-07, version 1.28.0*

Something is wrong with app. For some reason over half the screen is just grey area, then the ads and about 3/4 inch of news articles. Major problem.

### 1/5 — T

*2026-02-05*

Doesn't work

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Horrible!!!!

*2017-09-08, version 4.24.210030554*

Don't waste your time. This used to be a good app but after the up date it's not worth any stars.YOU WERE WARNED!!!!!!STAY AWAY!!!!

### 1/5 — New update is terrible

*2017-07-25*

Just let us go to latest news. Not see 3 stories you deem important, then we click on more news and get to scroll through the same 3 stories again.

### 1/5 — Won't open.

*2016-11-16, version 3.6.0*

The latest version (released 11/13) will not open.  Please fix this!  iPhone 5c running iOS 9.3.5.

### 1/5 — Junk app!

*2016-02-23, version 2.13.0*

Almost NEVER updates for 3 days or more! Their current "Breaking News" story happened 2 days ago! Sports updates 3 days old, News tab has stuff from over a week old. RUBBISH! I got a refund for the data I wasted on it.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-07-08, version 2.12.0*

I dont see any point of this app.

Great

### 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

### 5/5 — READ THIS

*2020-01-14*

Bro, the app is so awesome with the weather.

I got this because I had no whether apps, I tried a lot of
 
Other whether apps but they won’t work, but this is 
The one I should’ve got in the first place, so people 
If you are looking for a whether app, try this first

### 5/5 — Best news source in the area

*2019-03-20*

WBRE is upbeat, accurate, informative as well as a breath of fresh air with the life style show PA Live!

### 5/5 — Hazleton Video

*2019-02-05*

I believe the school police did NOT use excessive force in handling the Hazleton cafeteria video. I live half a block from GAR High School in Wilkes Barre and today I had to call 911 and the High School because of violence taking place in front of my house. You people who think the force used was excessive come on down to GAR High School any nice nice day after 2:30 when they  open the gates to the zoo to let the animals out and watch what we have to put up with daily. I applaud the school police, send them down to Wilkes Barre maybe they can handle our issues too.

Thank you Hazleton School Police

### 5/5 — Best News Station Ever!!!!

*2018-09-11*

I have been watching WBRE News for many years & I enjoy it very much. The entire crew I have met in the past years were so friendly & they all went out of their way to treat me with respect!!! I will never watch another station except this one. Hats off to the best enjoyable & most accurate news station!!!! God Bless All of You for doing such an Outstanding & Amazing job!!! 🙏

### 5/5 — Best news app ever

*2015-04-09, version 2.11.0*

Ok I used wnep for my news I live in NEPA and wnep is like the same thing but pa homepage for me is faster and it is easy to navigate around in.. It is also more eye appealing , like it looks really good !!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!!

*2015-01-09*

This app is an invaluable resource. As a working mom getting alerts about school closings is a godsend. WNEP stopped doing alerts and do offer them for $9.99 on thier app but that's ridiculous in my opinion just to see weather and school closings. This app is so much more than weather and school closings too! Movie times, gas prices, sports scores, breaking news and so much more. Thank you for creating this! I will recommend this to all my friends.

### 5/5 — Weather radar

*2013-06-14*

I loved your old app what happened to the weather radar's? You can't move the map around on the new app and you don't have the whole map like the old app had. Why change all of this??? Not happy at all!!!!
