Thank you ### 5/5 — Patrice C *2025-01-22* I am so upset that spectrum might decide to not show News2. You guys are like family. You have the most accurate news and weather Report around. After saying my prayers of waking up and going to bed; I begin and end my day with News2. The reason for this decision I don’t know. But I do know that it’s a big mistake. This makes me sad!!!😢 PS this is the only news Chanel I watch. ### 5/5 — Best News Station around! *2025-01-21, version 46.5.3* I can count on News 2 for important news. Keeping the triad informed on weather happenings, major Stories etc, News 2 is my go to for News.❤️ ### 5/5 — Weather *2025-01-19, version 46.5.3* Trusted weather for my location in Montgomery County; very near Lake Tillery. Only Fox 8 shows our county except y’all. If YOU show us, then it’s pretty much set in stone! ### 5/5 — Gabe *2024-12-24, version 46.4.1* Fast, thru, and concise, nicely presented by professional host and hostesses!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-11-19, version 46.4.1* I really enjoy the news 2 team their stories are amazing.

I started and ended my day with WUSA with reporters and anchors who were excellent in their delivery and reporting all aspects of the world, national, and local news. The weather was accurate headed by very experienced weather men and women. You could count on them to help you navigate wind, rain, sleet, and snow, sun, and Washington humidity! I immediately tuned in to WFMY and so far have experienced the same type of no nonsense coverage with very well schooled and professional persons. I wake up with checking my new WFMY app and of course my WUSA app. I look forward to getting to know the new kids on my block! ### 5/5 — Lib *2024-05-20, version 46.2.1* I enjoy weather updates u at news channel Are up to date thanks for all u do ### 5/5 — The Best of Both My Worlds *2024-05-17* I have just moved to North Carolina from the Washington area.

My go to station. ### 5/5 — It’s MY station *2024-05-02, version 46.2.1* Everything I need to know I find on News2 .. News, weather, what’s happening and what’s going to happen ### 5/5 — I enjoy it. *2024-05-02, version 46.2.1* I enjoy this New channel ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-05-01, version 46.2.1* Keeps me updated on the latest news ### 5/5 — Weather girl *2024-04-28, version 46.2.1* The best app in the triad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s a Tegna station. Need I say more? *2024-05-07* Since the debut of the C-Clarity music package and graphics, channel 2 is not worth watching. Tegna has a habit of buying up heritage news stations and running them into the ground. The news comes from a leftist point of view and is quick to point out the newest health scare. At least WXII and WGHP are more balanced and try to be objective in their reporting. Either Cox or Bahakel should buy WFMY and do what they’ve done in the Charlotte market: more investigative reporting and human interest stories. ### 1/5 — Non-skippable ads before severe weather segments *2022-05-27, version 44.0.52* In what world is it remotely okay to have non-skippable ads before watching severe weather reports? “You’re under a tornado warning and we’ll tell you if your home will be blown off the map right after this 60 second advertisement from Lumber Liquidators!” ### 1/5 — After updating app it won’t open *2022-02-26, version 43.9.7* App won’t open ### 1/5 — Too many ads and too many alerts *2021-10-26* EDIT: I have changed this to one star. We had a tornado warning today and I couldn’t watch the live video without watching ads first. Not great for safety reasons. I would willingly pay to not have the ads. Some are constantly flashing and it’s not only distracting, but it gives me a headache and could cause someone to have a seizure. Seriously. Also, the alerts are out of control. Way too many. And I have most of them turned off. ### 1/5 — Too many notifications *2021-07-20, version 43.5.21* I like having my local news available but WFMY’s app has sent me entirely too many notifications. It’s 8am and I’ve got no less than 6 notifications already and it’s not even news related. I’ll use a different local news service. ### 1/5 — Face the nation *2019-06-16, version 4.32.870042994* The show which is now with Margaret Brennan has turned into a joke! I just watched her interrupt every interview with a Republican to not saying a word to interrupt a very idiotic liar who happens to be a Democrat. I thought the news was just supposed to tell us what’s going on. Not feed us what the news person believes in. She is an insult to the profession! Shame on you channel 2. You used to be much better. ### 1/5 — To many useless alerts *2018-07-16, version 4.30.410039227* Send too much trivial stuff, I get alerts 15-20 times a day. Majority of which have very little significance to me. Or anyone else for that matter I would imagine. Also I tried three different odd nicknames and got the statement that they had all been used this I can’t believe I think you just don’t want this review. I’ll be canceling ### 1/5 — Alerts are a Joke - Literally *2018-01-15* I am compelled to leave a review to specifically address the many notifications I'm receiving. I got the app AND chose to allow "alerts" because I want to keep up with important, newsworthy, and possibly critical news or weather happening in the Triad. I DO NOT want to look at photos of a park in OH, eagles in FL, or bears in TN. These are not alerts!!! Other apps allow options for what type of alerts/news to push, but this one does not. So it's all or nothing, it seems. I hope the developers change this soon. ### 2/5 — Update *2021-11-17, version 43.9.3* Since the update your app will not open on my iPod. The iOS is 12.5. Will you please include this version of iOS in your update. ### 3/5 — Fox 8 *2025-11-06, version 46.5.4* Your website is good but needs improvement. Fox 8 is better however they need improvements also. Weather app needs to add weather fronts, highs and lows ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — News two wants to know *2026-08-07, version 50.20.2* And so do I ### 5/5 — Top news and weather *2026-06-16, version 50.13.0* Julie Luck, Chad Siber, Ben Briscoe, Tim Buckley and James Scott. Are the best in the local news business. We are lucky to have such a top notch team looking out for the triad. Thank you ### 5/5 — Local news *2026-02-02, version 46.5.4* Thank you for keeping us informed ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-02-02, version 46.5.4* I really enjoy the news 2 team their stories are amazing. Keep up the great work 🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — WFMY TV *2026-01-27, version 46.5.4* Wonderful , up to the minute news and weather! ### 5/5 — Review of app *2026-01-16, version 46.5.4* Go to app for local news ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-02, version 46.5.4* Love this station. The best!!! ### 5/5 — I love WFMY *2025-11-13, version 46.5.4* It’s the only channel I watch except wit college basketball is playing. Go Heels!! That’s where I graduated from! ### 5/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-10-25* They just started throwing endless and very frequent video ads at you that you cannot stop. They go on and on. This happens at least every second or third story in the news. This app is not worth having - all you see is ads and very little news. ### 5/5 — News 2 *2025-07-11* Been watching News 2 since 1983 the year we moved here from Northern Illinois. Love the people, love the informative and accurate news,weather,sports. Thank you. I will always tune to 2! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
