It freezes every time I use the live feature. It doesn’t matter whether I’m wi-fi or not. But it always comes back and makes you watch yet another commercial, those never freeze! In this day of technology you need to do better. Come on guys make a better app!! ### 2/5 — Useful app but bad ads *2025-07-20* This app is useful to get some updates on local news. However, the ads are terrible. Very spammy and often offensive. ### 2/5 — 2 day old weather forecast *2024-09-18* Yes. Two day old forecast on THE WEATHER APP ?!? ### 3/5 — Too Many Ads, Too Many Errors, Too Little News. *2024-06-11* Many ads “posing” as news these days are not only allowed, but the content is exceedingly high on the “gross” factor. Serious misspellings in news articles abound, often slanting the story in an unintended direction. No excuses - there is a thing called Spellcheck. Garbled sentence construction too often leads to misinformation and even some hilarious misunderstandings. All too often, news articles are now obviously written in haste, with an eye toward time, money, and no regard for the reader. Those always mattered, of course, but in the race to be first with the news, accuracy has been sacrificed, and readers (or news consumers, in the present parlance) become confused, then disbelieving, and, finally, give up and don’t care anymore. ### 2/5 — Ridiculous *2023-03-07, version 8.5.1* Try to watch a video in an article and all you see is a commercial. ### 3/5 — No DARK MODE? *2023-01-14* I loved the news app, and always enjoyed it just the way it was. I liked that I could scroll through the listing and see a picture and read a glimpse of what the article was about, and because I don’t see very well, the dark mode was great! Now, the bright white screen is blinding to me and I do not enjoy it anymore. Please fix it back to the app it was, this way looks like I Googled the news online. Do not like it! ☹️ ### 2/5 — Airplay? *2023-01-08, version 8.5.1* Airplay feature is a must. With my travels increasing I need this feature to watch on my TV in my other residence. Please update. ### 2/5 — Way to much like the others and BRIGHT *2022-12-18* I liked this app because it was different than most other news apps in appearance. Now it looks like the others. The biggest issue I have is that there is no Dark Mode. Please add a setting to change the view to make it not so blinding. ### 2/5 — Help *2022-12-15, version 8.5.0* It is difficult to read the news story in the new app. The print is lighter. I will be finding a new app to read RI news. ### 2/5 — Please overhaul/ revamp *2022-01-27, version 7.35.0* The app is easier to use than other news apps in the area. However, it has a mind of its own when it comes to load times and loading stories (particularly videos) to view. Even with a perfect connection. ### 2/5 — Friar1979 *2020-03-02, version 7.27.0* This app does not work properly when my iPhone goes into Dark Mode. There are black boxes and the stories do not display. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Let me listen to music as I read PLEASE.... *2019-10-16* I like to listen to music via a blue tooth speaker while I read the newspaper my phone. Each time I try to read a story my music stops playing. It’s terribly annoying!!! So much so I plan on deleting the app and using my browser instead. I’m sure Sinclair Broadcasting paid good $$ to have the app developed. Time to update that bug. 👾 Otherwise I enjoy the app. I find it user friendly. It’s a bit difficult to move out of a story and return to the main page. Not a deal breaker however. ### 3/5 — Playback errors *2019-08-06, version 7.17.0* There seen to be more & more playback errors where videos won’t play ### 1/5 — Well app worked yesterday *2019-06-27, version 7.15.0* Try to use app on iPhone and iPad says to refresh but nothing loads must have been and update that ruins everything I guess ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Another Fake News Empire. *2024-06-12* Sinclair Group is no different than Faux (Fox) News. I’ve seen your script handed down to all your stations word for word. Bias ### 1/5 — Weather does not reload *2024-01-14, version 9.6.0* Weather is stuck from the day you first look at it. Uninstalling reinstalling nothing works. I want local weather. Seems like the most basic feature it should offer. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2023-06-04, version 8.6.3* Nothing happens when I open the app. ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-03-04, version 8.5.1* No Landscape Mode for iPad. No Dark Mode. Doesn’t let you use music while you’re in the app. Get a web developer and fix it already. Should be the standard. I can’t use this app while having my iPad in the desktop configuration. ### 1/5 — Great Content Poor Functionality *2020-08-19, version 7.30.0* The content is great! However the app doesn’t work more than it does. It also doesn’t allow you to listen to broadcasts and do other things simultaneously. If they improve the app functionality it will be awesome! ### 1/5 — Sound stopped working. *2020-03-09, version 7.28.0* The app used to be quick and easy to navigate with intuitive drill down structure. The Sinclair Group has turned it into a deck of Billboards loaded with right-wing political ads. ### 1/5 — Download did not work *2020-03-02, version 7.27.0* Headlines but no story. See the alert open app and NO story ### 1/5 — Aggregated ! *2019-08-28, version 7.19.0* WHY OF WHY CANT YOU GET BOTH YOUR APPS FOR WJAR UP AND RUNNING PROPERLY. YOU REALLY NEED TO FIX THEM OR TAKE THEM DOWN NOW. ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-08-21, version 7.19.0* No sound ### 1/5 — Please create an iPad version *2019-07-25, version 7.17.0* Until you create an iPad version that displays in landscape, I’ll use WPRI’s app. The display i’d so much better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2020-05-07* I downloaded this app during the COVID19 Pandemic. I made sure my notifications were on so that I was update with breaking news, and weather. Best News station ever! ### 5/5 — Extra *2019-09-16, version 7.20.0* Replacing Mario Lopez with Billy Bush-you have got to be kidding-I for one will no longer watch EXTRA! ### 5/5 — Great source of local news *2019-08-31, version 7.19.0* All recent stories and weather available for viewing and reading. ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2017-07-25* I loved this app to look st their Sky network, now I can no longer get it. Also while reading news articles it just boots me off. Very disappointing ### 5/5 — Frustrating *2015-11-19* They've had time. Why can't they get it right. Terrible app useless information stories from all over without telling the location. ### 4/5 — - *2022-12-18, version 8.5.1* Pretty good ### 4/5 — Dark mode? *2021-01-25, version 7.33.2* I enjoy this app a lot, but is it possible to get dark mode? ### 4/5 — Much better *2016-09-25, version 6.11.6* I'm so happy you finally have a decent app up & running. So much better than the previous one. Giving it 4 stars because I'd like to see a better weather component. ### 4/5 — Best one ... *2016-08-05, version 6.11.4* Very nicely set up so far ....I'm really like the extras on this app and will give a five-star... when my live footage can be play... Good job! Will recommend to others... ( also where do I add my location?) ### 3/5 — Need to have an Apple TV app *2025-04-21* Good app but needs to be available on the AppleTV device. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
