### 4/5 — Great Station

*2020-01-07, version 6.24*

I love this station. It’s the only one I watch. I wish they would change the stories on the website a little more, gets boring seeing the same one for days.

### 5/5 — Interesting stories

*2017-03-30, version 6.10*

I have found the stories diverse and interesting

### 5/5 — News

*2017-03-16, version 6.9*

I read the news all the time and when I want to know a little more about Baltimore I tune in! 😀😀😀

Love the changes. Nice large images and easy to click thru.

### 5/5 — Most up to date news

*2017-01-05, version 6.8*

Most up to date news source for local and nationwide events as well as great videos of news topics .

### 5/5 — Great news app!

*2016-12-03, version 6.8*

Useful app. It is a great way to keep you inform about what is happening around your town.

### 4/5 — Too many ads

*2016-12-01, version 6.8*

The app is cool. Useful and informative. My issues are with the ads where the video plays out loud whether it's selected or not.

### 5/5 — Fast, Fair, and Accurate

*2016-11-22, version 6.8*

Loving the current version ABC Channel 2 app, finding it fast, fair, and accurate.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2015-12-29, version 6.0.1*

This used to be my go to app for traffic conditions and now they removed it completely.  Too many adds and now it's terrible. Already deleted from my phone. Too bad, it used to be a good app.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2015-12-29, version 6.0.1*

The app is much better organized and everything is easier to find.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — All ads. No content

*2025-07-19, version 7.11*

Every click bait headline I went into was nothing but ads and no actual content.

### 1/5 — Done.

*2018-05-27, version 6.15*

When the top five stories are not local, what’s the point of having this app? Nothing on the current flooding happening here in the metro area, but I can find out about some guy arrested in Arizona. Too many fluff/sensationalist pieces to be any use to me. I have other national news sites for these purposes and I just need to access local news quickly. Sadly this app is not a good option for this in my opinion.

### 1/5 — OMG the amount of ads

*2018-01-02, version 6.14.1*

The amount of ads displayed is insane. The only way to remove ads is to pay up to $9.99/year not just a one time small fee. Additionally there are ads that auto play when opening stories.  Not sure when the news app became so ad intensive.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2017-10-29, version 6.13*

Get it together!!! Misspelled words in articles and the wrong pictures with articles. Too many ads, too.

### 1/5 — Location services

*2016-08-21, version 6.7*

Why does location services need to be on all the time for news w/weather app?

### 1/5 — Annoying surveys must be completed before you can access the story.

*2016-04-07, version 6.4*

This is one of the most annoying apps. They'll give you the headline, but to access the actual story or info, you must complete a survey. I just want the news. If the creators removed this feature, it could possibly be a 4-5 star app. As it stands now, I've deleted it. There are better local news apps available.

### 1/5 — UNFRIENDLY USER!

*2016-02-13, version 6.2*

The updated is horrendous. It's not user friendly and I cannot live stream the local news through the app. The only way I can watch it is by going on the web page. Why did you have to change it?

### 1/5 — 2016 Fail

*2016-01-07, version 6.1*

Went from my #1 news app,to being deleted...🗑

### 1/5 — Still needs work

*2016-01-05, version 6.1*

While the ads have been reduced,it is now slower. You have to scroll to see the next story.  What happened to the headlines,  national & local stories, sports,etc.  these are the reason I deleted your competitors news apps. Seems the same developers are building the same junk for everyone!!!!  Same template, different logo, same issues.

### 1/5 — It's Not Broke So Let's FIX It¡

*2015-12-30, version 6.0.1*

One more app that has been FIXED for those with no attention span and actual use for various aspects of the news. 

Your traffic feature was the best in the Baltimore metro area. I used it religiously before leaving work and going on trips. Knowing how the traffic was flowing relieved a lot of stress as I drove twice a week during rush hour to drive from Harford Cty to Bethesda for my brother's chemo.  
I also liked the way news was broken down by county. I deleted the other local news apps because they were inefficient and unreliable; you have now joined the ranks. 

I can't quite figure out what the value of this app is now; but based on similar post "down-date" reviews we'll see if you value the opinions of your audience.

### 5/5 — Former Baltimore Resident

*2020-04-24, version 6.30*

I was born in Baltimore, and worked in and around the city for much of my adult life. My company is National and I’ve lived and traveled throughout the country. I find this App to be a great way to keep up with the City and State I love. I tried a few other Baltimore Apps and believe me none compare to this one. It’s very user friendly and the channel 2 on Air Personalities are simply great!  Thank you for keeping me informed and making feel at home.

### 5/5 — WMAR 2 = GREAT NEWS APP!

WMAR 2 APP IS INFORMATIVE, UP-TO-DATE/TIME, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, USE & NAVIGATE!

### 5/5 — Review

*2019-01-28, version 6.18*

I lived in Maryland 23 years before moving to Washington state and I miss TV from Charm City. Having apps from Ch. 2 and other stations keeps me in touch with Bawlmer, hon. 😀

### 5/5 — Great App

Easy to use and all the right information

### 5/5 — Easy

### 5/5 — WMAR news review

*2018-07-10, version 6.18*

I love Kelly and Jamie . They are 2 news anchors who offer an excellent alternative to the other stations . They are always sincere and they are not there to impress us with who they are when it comes to their talent as journalists. This makes them the best journalists . They take time to explain the news . They are truly one of us ! ❤️

### 5/5 — Not too shabby

*2017-11-13, version 6.14.1*

The app is a decent one. My only complaint is the stories repeat themselves on the history and seem very short on context. All in all it’s a good way to get local news for Baltimore.

### 5/5 — Great source of local news!

*2017-07-02, version 6.12*

Love ABC2 especially Megan Knight and Lynette Charles👍🏿👍🏿😊

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2017-05-04, version 6.11*

I love this news app I use it everyday!!
