  1. 5/5WESH 2 staff

    Your news anchors along with the rest of your staff are very professional, respond to messages and comments, are always nicely dressed and take their responsibilities seriously. But at the same time they display some sense of humor when it is appropriate. I watch many of your news programs daily and the only change I would like to see is a little variation between the topics between 4-5-6 and between 10 and 11.

  2. 1/5Click on notification to not be brought to that article

    This app is average and the main problem is when you receive a notification about a particular article in Notification Center and click the notification, the app is merely opened. You are not taken to that specific article. This makes the app much less useful to me. If I click the notification I want to be taken to that article. Most every app that displays something in Notification Center takes you to that particular subject when the app opens. Edit: There have been several app updates since I wrote the review a while ago. The issue has not been fixed. When you click on a push notification you are brought to the main page and not the specific article the push was for. The app is now uninstalled. I can not think of another app where you select the notification and are not directed to the specific article. Bye WESH 2 news.

  3. 3/5Unnecessary Notifications and Bloated Ads 👎

    Used to use this app as my first source of news. Have noticed most of the content is extremely negative with very little positive news. Local news text alerts are horrifying, babies being mailed to death... I had to remove alerts because (although I know bad things unfortunately do happen) I can’t take hearing such horrifying news every single day! I have also given up on streaming news because the ads are so terribly long, by the time the news loads... the spacex rocket has already launched or I have lost interest in trying to see the news and moved onto something else. Please bring back a more user friendly app for your long time viewers who just want relevant news that may affect us in our area!

  4. 2/5Great content, horrible execution then this happened

    I’ve reviewed a handful of apps ever, but needed to write one for this. Content is fresh, mostly local. Like their website news is not updated after the initial story, and they don’t have the same news stories they had on air. The worst is on weekends the app blasts clickbait notifications that have nothing to do with local news and you can’t turn it off. I kept the app for now but disabled all notifications of news. The other bothersome, but important part of ads. When you get a notification of some urgent content like say a tornado warning, you have to watch a long ad before you view the news. I understand the ad setup, it this gets quite frustrating when it’s important.

  5. 3/5Ok

    The app is ok. I used it during Milton and struggled just to find the current location and predicted path with times of the storm. But then again I couldn’t find that anywhere. When there is a storm like this, would be nice to have a link to a radar map thats easy to find and gives us the exact location and predicted path with approximate times. That would be helpful more so than live streaming the broadcast on our so called 5g internet in Central Florida. I ended up using a weather radar app that really wasn’t current, like 45 min behind.
