While this app may be useful in some ways, the push notifications are pointless. I only seem to receive notifications that dont apply to me and are not in my area. How bout figuring out a way to alert me to things that affect me. For now Im turning push notifications off.

Reviews
Not great
Click bait
I found it annoying that the display wont rotate, but I could live with that. The ads, however, make it essentially useless. Showing me the same ad every time I go to a new story does not incline me to buy that product. It so disrupts the experience that I give up and get the news and weather from other sources. Add to that all the ads embedded in the text, and the alert badges that dont lead to whatever the alert was about. Ill only use it in an emergency. Fortunately other media outlets arent so greedy.
App too busy and confusing. I hardly ever use it any more.
New app not user friendly. Too jumbled and confusing. Older style was much better.
Worst news app
Horrible app! Nothing but video clips...only after 30 second ads and/or ads for themselves. The push notifications are usually a few hours AFTER all other news outlets.
Ads...
Far too many ads that are too long. Makes me not use the site. The ads make me want to NOT buy their products!
Not happy with app
Im very dissatisfied with the format by the WGAL app. Difficult to navigate or find information/ stories quickly. I start off looking at a local story and then suddenly thrust into national news. Have to backtrack to get back to local. Also on breaking news I get an alert but once I swipe it and get to the WGAL app it doesnt take me to the breaking news story.
Needs work
Less ads. Same ad over and over again.
