No Notifications
Overall great app. Lots of news that’s easy to access. It really helps me out. But one problem with this app is that I don’t get notifications. I don’t know if it’s the app but everything in settings shows that I should but I don’t. I used to get them but I don’t know what happened and it bugs me. But yeah this is a great app and I recommend it. Although sometimes it doesn’t load or let you look at something, it’s great for what it is and I like it very much.

Disappointed
I use to LOVE this app. But lately all it does is “spin” when I click on an article. :(
PLEASE UPDATE and fix this app.

Barely Functional
2026 Update: Now, when clicking on a story from the home page, it doesn’t load. So the app is now completely useless and does nothing correctly. Everything from the rest of this review written in January 2025 still applies - this app needs fixing.
I’m writing this as a review of the app alone, not the content in it. The app itself is horrendous. Clicking on notifications from the lock or Home Screen will bring you into the app, but not the specific story that you clicked on. I don’t know why this doesn’t work as it used to in the past. Additionally, if you click on a link to a previous story that is embedded in the current story (these links are very common), it just doesn’t work. You get taken to an endless loading screen instead. An example would be if a story is about a project construction update, and there’s a link to the concept art of said project. Instead of being brought to the original story featuring the concept art, nothing happens. The app is also riddled with ads to the point where it seems like there’s one after every paragraph in a story. I know this is how they make money from a free app, but it just seems excessive. Lastly, if a story is long, there’s an error where the story will just randomly stop and the rest of the page is just white. Even the ads don’t load. The app itself is just poorly designed and several basic features don’t work properly. All of these haven’t been issues in the past, but it seems like they’re more concerned about giving the app big visual updates without fixing the underlying issues that make it an unpolished and frustrating experience.

Unfunctional
This app is in serious need of attention by developers. It doesn’t work the vast majority of the time. Articles seldom load. When they do, forget clicking on a link within the article, because those never load. Unfortunately, their website is only marginally better.
Terrible App
The content when it loads I very informative, however, the app is absolutely horrible. Content doesn’t load from the title blurb more often than it loads. Just a horrendous app that, if not improved, should be removed by developers and just leave web site for articles.
Best WDW Fan App
Lov this app, but an upgrade is desperately needed, app fails to load most of the time and crashes regularly. Tom/Jason/Eric… or Nanna, HELP!
App Needs Updating
Love the content but so hard to read on app. Gets stuck, does not refresh. Please update.

glitchy app
love the content- when i can read it. app it so glitchy, crashes just about every time i use it, and is just downright frustrating. do better! an update is definitely in order.
Functionality is Poor
Would love to continue to use this app but always find it challenging opening stories. Great content though, but I will have to move onto something else.

Clickbait
Don’t waste your time with this worthless “news” site. They write patently false stories with misleading headlines just to get views. The only good thing is it didn’t cost anything. Other than your time and lost brain cells.
Good UI for aggregating WDWNT content
Clean UI, turns off all notifications by default and lets you opt in to your interest which is refreshingly respectful.
Overhaul <33
The recent overhaul of the app is amazing!
Personalized notifications are great
The app is wonderful. FYI, not yet iOS 17 compliant. Hopefully that is fixed soon.
Welcome to the radical Left of Liberalism!
WDWNT used to be an amazing Disney news outlet. Used to be.
Now they’ve gone rogue with their crazy Liberal writers who believe the mainstream media against anything right in this world. It’s sad how almost 2-3 out of 5 of their posts try to poison your mind with their radical Liberal opinions. Just like Disney should have, WDWNT, Please … KEEP. POLITICS. OUT. OF. YOUR. CONTENT. You’re becoming woke groomers and you’re losing your audience. Just like no one gives any cares to listen to what political stance Disney has, no one cares to hear yours. Use your personal outlets as your soapbox. Not your public business.

Crashing
Your app crashes a lot and sometimes won’t even open, just like Disneys stock.
Constant crashing on iPhone
Doesn’t open. Crashes.
Update crashes upon opening
I don’t write reviews. And I don’t like change. This latest version crashes upon opening. Only way I can read the stories is to open the website and search. App doesn’t work despite uninstalling and res installing. Might have something to do with the latest iOS version.
