Deniz Orhun ### 4/5 — Informing *2024-05-08, version 46.2.2* Channel 9 provides clear, concise local reporting to the DMV audience. News you can use! ### 5/5 — It’s your app down *2024-05-01, version 46.2.2* What happened? Pls update. Was not able to open it for the pass few days ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor for streaming *2026-08-22, version 50.21.3* Trying to watch a Commanders preseason game is damn near impossible. The numerous freezing and having to restart the app is frustrating. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Just videos *2026-07-16, version 50.16.0* This app now is just videos and never updates. I used to be able to see the reports based on region. Now I am stuck trying to find a news app for the DMV that actually updates and I can read per region without the 50 million videos. ### 1/5 — Update horrible to navigate *2026-04-10* I used to love this app, but the new update is horrible to navigate. It prioritizes videos and I want to read the stories, the old version also grouped stories together by state and location. I don’t see that option. Unfortunately I don’t think I will keep using this app anymore. I don’t want to scroll to find stories, just a place with a list of headlines that I can read. ### 1/5 — Latest update is awful *2026-03-30* What happened to dark mode? App update is only showing in a bright white mode and there is no way to change this view? Also the articles are a big mess on trying to look at what is news. It wasn’t great before and now it’s even worse. And notifications aren’t really a help. You click on the story you want to read and it does not take you directly to it. Not sure what you were going for with this update but it’s terrible. ### 1/5 — Late *2025-10-12, version 46.5.5* Slow updates. It’s Sunday, why ks weather from past Wednesday still showing in weather link. ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2025-03-17, version 46.5.5* Ads when the app starts, extra adds after and before the over-the-air ads, then a couple of minutes of actual news cast, then more ads. ### 1/5 — Brutal *2025-01-31, version 46.5.1* Why did you do that Larry? ? ### 1/5 — More good news about black and brown people *2023-08-18, version 45.20.1* Sorry about the 10 dogs. I'd love to hear positive stories about black and brown people. Thanks. ### 2/5 — No search feature *2026-07-31, version 50.18.4* There’s no search feature. When I click a story notification, it takes me to the home page and I can never find the actual story to read more about it ### 2/5 — Update without Landscape Mode *2026-04-02, version 50.8.2* I have used and loved this app for years, but why is landscape mode gone? It is really annoying and while I still enjoy the content, I probably won’t use it nearly as often. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spot on information shared on this station *2026-07-08, version 50.15.4* I stay informed listening to wusa news!!! ### 5/5 — Definitely Not Fake News *2026-06-29, version 50.14.0* You guys are on point delivering factual, quality, content to the world. Proceed Governor! ### 5/5 — The best *2026-03-16, version 46.5.5* Best news station out there ### 5/5 — Detailed news *2026-02-12, version 46.5.5* Get more details than other news apps ### 5/5 — Faithful, Loyal and Truthful *2025-12-12, version 46.5.5* I’ve been with WUSA since I was young teen and I still trust them with all news. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-09-28, version 46.5.5* Good ### 5/5 — This App Keeps Me Informed *2025-07-31* I love this app because when I am away from home I never miss important weather reports or breaking news. I am always in the know concerning what’s happening in the DMV. ### 5/5 — Review of wusa *2025-07-19, version 46.5.5* I love the wusa app as well as the station. When I am out of town I find it convenient to keep up with the news at home. ### 5/5 — WUSA is the best! *2025-07-08, version 46.5.5* Very pleased with all that CBS/WUSA has to offer! ### 5/5 — Topper *2025-04-01, version 46.5.5* Great local news --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
