No longer reliable to stay informed especially with local news. National and World news are just Associated Press releases. I guess it’s time to use my Fox One subscription to watch WVUE. ### 4/5 — Radar *2026-06-28, version 50.14.0* Why doesn’t the radar work? ### 2/5 — New Update 🤮 *2026-06-25, version 50.14.0* This app has been my go to for years, but the recent update is certainly not an upgrade. So much information is no longer available. There is no more traffic information on the app. I previously noted that the radar is useless, as there was a HUGE temperature icon the covers a huge portion of the map. Now the app crashes when I try to open the radar. This update is a huge downgrade. ### 5/5 — Weather Coverage *2026-06-18, version 50.13.0* Appreciate the thorough weather coverage during storm events. ### 5/5 — Best news channel *2026-06-17, version 50.13.0* They are top tier in NOLA ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-06-17, version 50.13.0* WWL NOLA Channel 4 News is my go-to app for trusted, professional and locally, up-to-date information! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-06-14, version 50.13.0* Thanks for the hard work you put in to keep us informed…. ### 3/5 — New Update 🤮 *2026-05-18, version 50.10.6* This app has been my go to for years, but the recent update is certainly not an upgrade. So much information is no longer available. There is no more traffic information on the app. The radar is useless. There is a HUGE temperature icon the covers a huge portion of the map. This update is not well thought out. ### 5/5 — Like the design, weather is buggy *2026-05-02, version 50.9.1* I like the new design but the weather page always fails to load on first app open. I have to kill and reopen the app to get to load. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New Update 🤮 *2026-08-30, version 50.23.1* Over a month ago, I posted a review that was very critical of the new app, especially the weather section that doesn’t have enough tropics information. The developer responded saying these issues would be fixed soon. I was optimistic that this update might solve the problem. I was wrong. What used to be my favorite local news app has caused me to download apps from other local stations. ### 1/5 — Useless app now *2026-08-30, version 46.5.2* The new app update is garbage. Can only view things that show up as a notification. Cannot view anything when clicking on the app icon. Weather and radar is shoddy at best and lacking important information, marine information, tropics ect. There is better radar information on other local stations apps. Whoever developed this update needs to put it up their back side where the sun does not shine. A user can get better information by looking into a storm drain around a NOLA metro area. ### 1/5 — Balanced *2026-08-11, version 50.20.2* Always watch. Concise and more importantly correct information. No hypothesizing. I need to know reality if I am to deal with it. Love the mixture of personalities and bits about their lives and like to view clothes. At 81 I don’t know what is current in style. I live at a home and a small but together residents watch you every Morning! Thanks! ### 1/5 — New Update 🤮 *2026-07-21, version 50.17.3* This app has been my go to for years, but the recent update is certainly not an upgrade. So much information is no longer available. There is no more traffic information on the app. I previously noted that the radar is useless, as there was a HUGE temperature icon the covers a huge portion of the map. Perhaps most importantly, there used to be a section for the tropics complete with models and the latest tracks. That’s gone too. What are y’all thinking? This update is a huge downgrade. ### 1/5 — Terrible radar *2026-06-18, version 50.13.0* Radar map is multiple gestures away from home/landing page. Radar map forecast shows a loop across the twelve hours. You need to remove with big black circle from the map as it covers the content ### 1/5 — Not Impressed *2026-06-12, version 50.12.0* The previous app was SO MUCH BETTER. This one is terrible. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2026-06-06, version 50.12.0* Update wasn’t needed, and when an update isn’t an upgrade, why do it? ### 1/5 — Embarrassing App *2026-05-11, version 50.10.6* You can do far better WWL. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-04-30, version 50.9.1* All the bad reviews are true, especially since the “new update “. This was my go to for the weather radars, in particular the “old school radars “ with the multiple area views. ,the only reason I was keeping the app for so long. Also a simple drop down menu for current news information/ category you want (like for the Saints/sports, only other reason I keep the app.) would be wonderful and not have stroll to find something. This is a before and after the “new update “ issue. Currently looking at other apps to replace it. ### 1/5 — Not informative *2026-04-02, version 50.8.2* This is an upgrade??? This is horrible! On news @noon they give you what they call breaking news. LOUISIANA CANCELS UHC CONTRACT When you go to this updated app🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️there’ nothing there, you search & search nothing. I don’t just what is the problem with keeping this app up to date😞 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NO *2026-08-31, version 50.24.1* No ### 5/5 — Great News and Weather Station *2026-08-19, version 50.21.3* I have watched WWL for years.

On our yearly visit to nola, you are my local news station ### 5/5 — Reliable news, great app. *2026-07-07, version 50.15.4* WWL Louisiana offers great news and weather and this app is great to use. ### 5/5 — Mrs. *2026-07-05, version 50.15.4* I didn’t know how easy it was to get up-to-date news quickly on my phone. Since I do not always get a chance to watch the news, I appreciate receiving it this way. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Top notch news‼️ *2026-06-28, version 50.14.0* WWL has for my several decades growing up and living here in NOLA has been THE NEWS to watch and trust. ### 5/5 — Weather *2026-06-18, version 50.13.0* Peyton is easiest to watch.
