It's OK. I don't use it for the weather, just for local news alerts. But I never open the app. It's no more than a stripped-down web browser for the WESH website, and almost every news article has a video which always plays an ad that can't be silenced w/o muting the whole phone. So instead I go to their site in a good web browser (Brave) that has both built-in ad blocking and autoplay for embedded videos & audio disabled, and then find the article corresponding to the alert to read it there.
15 minutes of my life wasted. The app downloaded very quickly and installed quickly but failed to give me anything other than commercials. Whenever I clicked on a news item including critical news, I got nothing but a blank screen until I had to manually back out of the screen. Despite not being able to see any actual news stories, and videos, they did give me some commercials to waste my time. I can't recommend this app.
This app was good before Hearst took it over and has been going downhill for years now. The news alerts are usually useless sensationalized clickbait. I use it mainly for the weather, and now the radar loop is 6 HOURS long (normally 1 hour)! By the time the radar plays through it's long 40 second loop my phone screen shuts off and I miss it. I emailed them to fix and never even received a reply one way or the other. I'm done now. Uninstalling now for competing FOX35 Orlando app...
Don't open the weather now, it goes full screen commercial and won't close. I had to restart my phone
Intrusive ads. Nice app, but ads galore. Can't mute the volume, or skip after a few seconds. Whatever happened to the in-app notification sound, that used to be available? Now, it's the system default. I really liked the highly identifiable WESH mnemonic.
When you click on a video the ad covers up 2/3 of the page. I understand the need for advertisements, but having more advertisement than content is annoying and makes the video so small it's hard to read any graphics.
Has no live stream, the most updated report is two days old.... useless
Do not have any adware installed to stop ads. But, WESH denies full access, saying I do. Have antivirus software installed that could stop ads that are known to sometimes appear as having unwanted traits.
I go to this application almost daily. With an approaching hurricane, sometimes hourly. Excellent and professional news coverage along with well-defined graphics.
We should have the option to silence the commercial. They are beyond annoying and at work when you click an article it is hard to get it silenced quickly.
Ads play no issue, however the actual news app playing keeps erroring and cycles, when it restarts or you restart it, more ads play fine then it cycles again. Needs fixed!
It is not unusual for the weather in this app to be at least 12 or more hours out of date. As an example I went to look at the weather for this morning. The weather report is for yesterday. And that is more usual than unusual. I need current weather every day. This does not work for me
Waste of time. Too many ads. Every page tried to get me to sign up for a breaking news app. Links didn't necessarily go where I expected.
Very informative and easy to use .
please! the same ad in all videos any time, everyday in all news? is absolutly desapointed because the system didn't work...nobody can read more of 3 videos information because is really hard...people need service ( information) first...then can support the company ad. sorry every day more difficult per the customer!!!
The app works well (4 stars for that) however i uninstalled it and now i cant get the notifications to stop! Am reinstalling to hopefully be able to turn them off.
Severe weather in area all app could do was run commercials for two minutes. Absolutely worthless would rate below 0 if possible.
Buffers repeatedly and I constantly receive the error message, "something went wrong " that requires me to "retry" or "close " the app.
i love the notices about the weather In real time. it gives me time to get inside or get my dogs in. Breaking news is always interesting to me and Wesh 2 I'd on top of it. Great app and accurate. I get the important news all day long love it
I've been using WESH 2 APP for sometime now & I've found using their app/site is excellent , informative & easy to use.... Keeps me up to date on all breaking news & weather conditions. Thanks WESH 2 for keeping me informed .
App works well, I use it to watch nowcast, but it will not allow me to cast it to any of my TV's. Just shows the cast symbol
this app rarely works kn my Samsung s9 used to work good needs to be updated also videos dont work had to delete cant post things either bad I really liked the app fix and the permissions are not necassary
It will not open. I have to uninstall it. I got it to open once. Now it says to tap on a corner but nothing happens. Too bad.
I like the app since I watch Wesh 2 time to time but I can't get the nowcast to cast on my TV. Only gives me a black screen. Since I don't have a live TV app no more and it won't let me cast on my TV, I'll just have to watch it on my phone now. 😮💨😐🙄
