Program even has one that you have to exit before you get to their site. ### 5/5 — Great Local News *2014-08-08, version 4.10.0* Great local news & weather ### 5/5 — good site *2014-05-09, version 4.9.5* to be out in the world enjoying the day and still keep up.... ### 2/5 — Old info! *2011-10-25, version 1.6.5* App is ok but retains old stories on the main page. For example, uner the weather section it shows "bad storms moving our way". This article has been on the main page since Oct 18... Today is 10/25. The news and sports stories do the thing. This alone makes me not use this app. I've read the same stories over and over. ### 5/5 — Cool little app *2011-08-11, version 1.6.4* Great way to stay in touch with the world around you while on the go. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Will not connect *2024-08-08* Despite being connected to the internet, this app consistently states I’m not connected ### 1/5 — Doesn’t update to recent stories. *2022-07-10, version 5.1* Title says it all. They need a dedicated internet news team. ### 1/5 — Stop listening to my conversations for ads. *2021-05-02, version 4.35.570056882* I never authorized your app to listen to me or use the mic or anything and ads are popping up for conversations I’m having. Get rid of the advertising mode of add supported apps. You’re a news company. Build a decent app without ads. It may be free but having your privacy stolen to show you an ad isn’t worth keeping the app. You just lost a customer. ### 1/5 — Fake news *2020-05-28, version 4.35.340053306* Brainwasher news anti American ### 1/5 — Hard to find related stories *2019-10-06, version 4.30.430040164* This is tha local Wilmington NC station that has be instrumental in helping people know what is really happening. I trust WWAY because they don’t try to sensationalize ### 1/5 — This app is fake news *2017-07-24, version 4.24.210030753* But seriously, it is. Most every story on the front page ranges from happening last week to 4 years ago. This app has made me look so stupid on several occasions bringing up what I thought were current events in conversation only to find out Michael Jackson actually died almost 9 years ago. I feel like a total noodle head. I've lost all credibility with my peers who now make fun of me constantly about living under a rock. Things are getting bleak. Please send help. Please be a better app for local news. ### 1/5 — Poor investigative work *2017-06-02, version 4.22.320029380* I seem to find more negative stories than positive, especially the stories regarding our local area. Facts are not verified on the majority of stories I find interest in, they choose to not report the opposite side of the same stories and they seem to only report what is told by disgruntled individuals versus trying to uncovering the truth....lazy media in my eyes. ### 1/5 — Of limited value *2016-04-07, version 4.17.680017685* Very few news items reported so unfortunately of limited value. ### 1/5 — No clue *2014-10-05, version 4.10.0* I have no clue why I keep looking to this station for relevant news. ### 1/5 — WWAY News *2014-09-12, version 4.10.0* Content largely lacking in relevance to Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach in addition to being often out of date. Photos accompanying articles are blurry and frankly irritating. As compared to the app offered by WECT news, this is a poor excuse. And why is the "surprise squad" so relevant that is ranks on the top of the list of current news. Perhaps your parent ABC has a template you can use to improve this poor excuse for a news site. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2021-05-08, version 4.35.570056882* This is a great way to stay up to date on the news in the Cape Fear area. Much more user friendly than the other local news apps ### 5/5 — WWAY *2019-12-10, version 4.34.190048238* For a local news station you folks are awesome. I also love how you support the local community and I absolutely love attending the Health Hacks. Happy Holidays to all... Mike Perretta ### 5/5 — Question/comment *2019-03-05, version 4.30.430040164* We really like listening/watching WWAY. Your announcers and newscasters are the best in this Wilmington/Leland area. However, why are you doing the mini skits with all of your employees. Stick to your “day job” —your acting is not good on the behind the scenes skits. We actually feel you are lowering your high broadcasting standards with these—what looks like—juvenile skits. Hope you change that out soon. Magnolia neighbor.... Sandra Gemach ### 5/5 — Good news coverage!!! *2018-11-28, version 4.30.430040164* Good news ### 5/5 — Excellent local coverage *2018-05-09, version 4.28.180035274* The title says it all ! ### 5/5 — Best local news site *2017-06-06, version 4.22.320029380* This is the best local news site in the Wilmington market. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-01-17, version 4.21.280025937* Great app. ### 5/5 — Great local news *2016-09-29, version 4.19.210019289* I like this app, gives me great local news. ### 5/5 — Keep Informed *2016-08-04, version 4.19.210019289* This is a great way to keep up with what's going on in our area. TV 3 news keeps me informed with a text or I just go to there web site for weather, traffic, local and national news. Great app to have. ### 5/5 — Chris *2016-05-28, version 4.17.680017685* Love the news on the go. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
