User reviews

New app sucks

New app layout is ok but they took away the swipe back gesture out of the app. Makes navigation wayyy annoying having to tap the arrow at top of screen each time.

Can’t clear alerts.

Grrr. Can’t get rid of the red alerts on my phone. Always showing “new alerts “ in red but all old. I Hate that.

Notifications

Notification on the Home Screen doesn’t vanish after opening the app.

Incomplete articles

You never give enough info on your stories instead you name every state and county and town invastigating

Low confidence

The last thing I want is another app on my phone. WSAW news app was changed and eliminated the Home Screen which was my go to , to find what I needed on the app. Radar is gone; saddens me. Closings are gone, or difficult to find; haven’t found it yet,. Ultimately I will probably delete this app from my phone and use the the default weather app I my phone. WSAW you were once my favorite, but all the changes you’ve been making I have low confidence in you.
