Many “ articles “ are just a couple lines, but fair enough. No bugs yet in this version of the app. ........ I down rate it because everything you look at is saddled with 3rd party social up-worthy clickbait “recommended” junk looking identical to news articles; like: some-town-name you won’t believe this startup is disrupting a 200 billion dollar industry. .... WABI, cut it out. How can you stoop so low? Totally unprofessional ... whomever implemented that should be fired. You are a news company, not some random blog. Why this 3rd party BS on every page? Several times longer than the “article” wasting everybody’s precious mobile data. Keep it professional, stick to facts and present just the news. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nana’s 5 *2026-03-12, version 3.0.1* Don’t like the revision to the app. ### 1/5 — New app *2026-03-10, version 3.0.1* Sucks ### 1/5 — Ads play as soon as you open the app. *2026-02-15, version 2.0.15* Having to watch an ad every time I open the app is a real put off. I’ll get my news elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-12-18, version 2.0.15* I can’t open any of the links you provide. I can’t even open a news article in your app. I am on an iPad. This is the only app that does this. ### 1/5 — WABI 5 App review *2025-11-28, version 2.0.15* The app continually fails to open for viewing. No filters on device that would prohibit opening of app for viewing. Evidently negative reviews are blocked from public view. Entering a review will not be allowed. ### 1/5 — Worst of the local news apps *2022-02-06, version 1.3.8* The morning news anchor interrupts her co-anchor and the meteorologist constantly. I can't believe she's been allowed to continue this annoying disregard for others for years. ### 1/5 — Polling and others *2021-04-22, version 1.2.9* It was working great but now no weather. If you choose a poll and enter a choice it doesn’t submit ### 1/5 — Crap app *2020-11-06, version 1.2.5* It’s crap.... my opinion. ### 1/5 — Trump ads *2020-08-06, version 1.2.0* I’m dumping this app. Too much Trump. ### 1/5 — channel 5 app *2019-09-30, version 1.1.5* can’t get to work on iphone or ipad. HELP ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easter Parade back in the days *2026-03-31, version 3.0.2* Would like to see the Local people walking downtown during the late fifties after church service ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2017-12-26, version 1.0.1* This new app is much easier to navigating gate than the old. So glad you improved it. ### 4/5 — Needs FB & Twitter logins *2018-07-13, version 1.0.5* Facebook and Twitter account integration for things like saving stories and settings would be great! ### 3/5 — Good app, don't like the new change *2021-11-30, version 1.3.7* The app is good in that it is simple to use and covers the local news and events of the day. however I do not like the new change where it makes you view an ad for 5 seconds or more when launched before you can use the app. please remove this and go back to just having side ads mixed in on the app pages. ### 2/5 — 👎🏼 *2025-02-25, version 2.0.15* The news app is fine, but is it possible to not have ads for dating sites after every story that I click on? It’s a bit much. ### 2/5 — Update *2022-07-17, version 1.3.13* Need to be updated more often ### 2/5 — Too much pandering... *2020-08-07, version 1.2.0* It’s an app for local news. It’s not necessary to promote their own NATIONAL politics with useless ads. ### 2/5 — Lots of bugs *2019-04-08, version 1.0.8* This thing has lots of bugs, weather app has not worked for almost 6 months shows an error which is likely related to the noaa api. Also as of lately when you read an article the adds are not placed properly so they go under the text, that prevents you from being able to read the article and it also prevents you from clicking on the ad, kind of a lose lose situation user loses and the advertisers ### 2/5 — Can’t Get Past Ads *2018-11-26, version 1.0.6* Can’t see the news due to ads blocking the way with no option to close unwanted advertisements. :( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
