Ok
The app is ok. I used it during Milton and struggled just to find the current location and predicted path with times of the storm. But then again I couldn’t find that anywhere. When there is a storm like this, would be nice to have a link to a radar map thats easy to find and gives us the exact location and predicted path with approximate times. That would be helpful more so than live streaming the broadcast on our so called 5g internet in Central Florida. I ended up using a weather radar app that really wasn’t current, like 45 min behind.

Ads are too long
Long time user of the app. Keeps improving but one major drawback is the length of the ads keeps increasing . I get there will be some, but a 30 second ad is just too long; especially for a 1 minute report or quick weather update. Get them back down to 5-10 seconds. Any longer than that, I move on. Especially unacceptable during extreme weather.

App glitches and bugs
I have used this app as my primary source of news and weather in the Orlando area for years. In the past few updates it has become extremely difficult to use. When you click on a story, begin to scroll to read the content, the app redirects you back to the main page.
Same thing is happening if I’m trying to change the features of the weather radar map, example add storm track or zoom in or out on the map.
This is frustrating for users.

News that’s news!
Good coverage, but the app based site has some irritating behaviors. When the obligatory commercial precedes the news item, the app/website sometimes BLOCKS your ability (on mobile phone) to allow you to set view to full screed UNTIL the commercial has run! That means the first part of the news item must be competing with the actins of the phone user until their actions achieve the desired view!

Location required
You are REQUIRED to provide access to your location just to use the app. As in it won’t even open unless I agree. I shouldn’t need to allow access to my location to read the news. I can manually add my location if I want “personalized “ weather. I never allow notifications of any kind from news apps, so they don’t need it for that purpose either. Really poor WESH. The local FOX and WFTV apps don’t require it, so I’ll just use their app instead.

WESH 2 App
This is my “ go to” local news app. The interactive radar however is extremely frustrating, first because you must chosise either Past or future, then it’s runs SO FAST it’s impossible to get a clear idea of the timeline….. you can’t watch the time and the weather map at the same time. I tried emailing them and never received any response. Slow that radar display down so it’s useful!

Maybe It’s Just Me
But when the Breaking News stories pop up on my screen and I go to the website they won’t be there. Quite often I’m in the middle of something else and can’t look at the moment. I’ll look a few minutes later and can’t find the Breaking News story.
WESH 2 reporting
We moved here from New York. After checking all the local news channels, we chose WESH 2. Your news stories are reported with the facts with no agenda by your station. It is refreshing and informative. The American public is quite capable of hearing facts and making an informed decision. I thank you and applaud you on your faith in your viewership

Wants to send you to the App Store to buy crap
As far as news apps go, this is decent, but I absolutely LOATH that every day I launch the app, I get a dialog that wants to send to “Carb Watcher” or some other. If I wanted that app, I’d already have it.
I’d would MUCH rather have an innocuous banner ad. But if I get a pop-up, I’ll close it without reading it. And I’ll likely uninstall this app.

News that only matters to the Left
Much of WESH Channel 2’s News only lends itself to the favor of the Left in America. Truth in Our News is what matters! Listening you however “We The People” in this area do get Central Florida’s info First from WESH Channel 2 before anyone else 👍Thanks for that!!!
