What's New in WGME 13 News

10.35.0

October 29, 2026

In this latest version, we’ve fixed bugs and made improvements to help the app run more smoothly.

User reviews

Of poor quality and heavily bought

Very biased as all mainstream has become. You have to sign your life away to comment anything.

Keeps crashing

I am disappointed. It keeps crashing, because my browser blocks it because it is tracking when I am on the web.

Ad placement is obnoxious

Deleted the app today. You can’t scroll without inadvertently opening an ad. It’s obnoxious. I get the need for ad revenue but there are more ads than news.

Good app, but…

Needs to be able to alphabetize the places that I’ve looked up for weather. The list is basically random, so I have to scroll to find a particular town I’ve searched for previously. Would be much easier to be able to alphabetize. Thanks.

Very disappointed

I have used the WGME weather app for years. This latest update made the map feature basically useless. I have tried to follow storms and watch the future possible tracks of storms and this newest version is terrible. I used to be able to tell my kids exactly when and where rain/snow/bad weather was going to hit their area and this new version just doesn’t work. I was tracking the latest thunderstorms and the map had the storm directly overhead and I was outside, it was sunny. Just completely unreliable.
