WNEP The News Station for Negative User Reviews
✓ AppearanceI love WNEP however I wish you would go back to your old appearance of what your app was it was easy to look at and find on the phone and so many things are blue and white and it is hard to pick it out on my phone however the other thing I can’t stand is when I’m watching it on the news on my television the way it’s distracting the lines and everything move around I don’t like it but that’s OK cause we’re getting rid of our cable anyway so I will only have my app and I’ll check it every now and then.Version: 42.8.26
✓ Sorry to be so negativeThe app is slow to load. It’s very difficult to get around and find things. There doesn’t seem to be a main menu or search function. Did testers try to watch videos like Does it really work? The videos keep reloading and starting over. Even when they run they’re jerky. Ask someone who is seeing the app for the first time to go to the Does it really work videos. Watch what they have to do to find the videos, if they can find them. It seems like the developers were concentrating on presenting ads more than on usability. Pay more attention to the end user..Version: 42.5.36
✓ WNEP websiteI don’t like the fact that when you click “ watch” when the news starts Live, there’s no sound. You then click on play and a 30 second ad starts and you eventually miss the first minute or two of the live news. The old version of the web was much user friendly..Version: 42.12.20
✓ Works kindaI’ve always enjoyed WNEP but this app has problems maybe it’s my phone but I don’t understand why a 30 second video takes 4 mins to buffer and then it has 3 ads in it honestly I don’t mind the first one in the beginning but come on really two more in a 30 second clip. I’m uninstalling this now I might redownload in the future but this app will have to get a serious over haul.Version: 42.13.38
✓ Getting betterHated it when they first forced me onto it because they eliminated their stand alone weather app. I use it mostly for weather anyway. Between ongoing improvement and my getting used to it, I don’t hate it as much. Still not very intuitive and it’s hard to navigate. Try finding the Pet pictures or posting a picture. Now it’s making me choose a nickname to submit my review. It’s a guessing game to find a nickname not already taken! Stupid!.Version: 42.6.45
✓ Just alrightI do not like this new version. I very much prefer the Stormtracker app, I am not looking for anything more then the weather and now it’s everything “news” you can find online. I wish they would keep the 2 apps seperate. I loved how I would get all the notifications for weather events near me, and it did that automatically I can’t even find how to make this new version do that. Not an upgrade in my opinion, just an overload.Version: 42.2.11
✓ Too much clutterIn my opinion, this app is a giant leap backward from the old app. The “greeting” screen just isn’t necessary. The pages are very messy looking. You have to scroll far too much. I miss having an independent weather app as well. The new weather page is quite bad. Overall, I’d say this new app is a cluttered mess. It is a chore, and no longer a viable way to get NEPA news..Version: 42.2.11
✓ Fix notifications optionsI ONLY want weather alerts, not news headlines cluttering my lock screen. I selected weather, have checked for these alerts and these ONLY, but the other crap also appears. I even have the warning message that my “notifications or banner alerts are turned off”, but yet I am getting the news I do not want. Kind of a contradiction, eh? I love WNEP, but if I can’t choose to have ONLY weather alerts, but still access to the news when I want it, I’ll get a different app..Version: 42.6.45
✓ ADs take overI find this app difficult if not impossible to use. When I click on a news story to watch, ads pop up and then freeze. I rarely get a news story to watch and end up reading it in the text below instead. I also miss the feature of being able to watch a full newscast at any time of day. Now you have to be logged on during a live cast to see a full half hour of news. With the original app, I could log on at 2pm and see the entire recorded news from the noon newscast. That option is gone with this new app..Version: 42.13.38
✓ By far the worst news app everThis app replaced a perfectly good app where one could scroll through the stories without having to go “back” after every story. The old app had a search. The old app had older stories as well as the latest headlines. And the old app allowed you to save your stories and/or forward them on. This app has NONE of that. My suggestion; if you’re going to replace an app with a new updated version, bring all the features from the old one over and improve them. Don’t take them away. Deleting app now and going to WBRE..Version: 42.4.12
✓ Notification functions are badOverall the app is fine, but I primarily wanted it for local weather alerts. I have my app notification settings set to where I am SUPPOSED to only receive severe weather alerts. Having said that I get notifications every day for other news completely unrelated to the weather. Fix the problem! Don’t send constant notifications for things you don’t have permission to send based on your in-app settings!.Version: 42.4.12
✓ AwfulTerrible app. I switched over from the original app like I was supposed to, and now I’ve uninstalled it all completely. It’s difficult to navigate as the general set up is very poor, ads everywhere-EVERYWHERE-and if you want to just read a story but not watch it, you can’t get the video not to autoplay when you click on the story link, even though the no autoplay option is selected. If you do choose to watch a story, you have to sit and watch an ad BEFORE EVERY SINGLE STORY before you’re allowed to see it. This was the same on the old app, but I’m tired of it either way. Get the PA Homepage app. It’s much more comfortable to navigate, great information, you’re not forced to play the videos, and you don’t have to watch ads every time you click on something..Version: 42.2.11
✓ New doesn’t mean betterPlease bring back Stormtracker 16. Stormtracker 16, Stormtracker 16. Maybe if I say it 3x like Beetlejuice. The current app does not come close to what you already had for weather. Between the top border, weather key and ads, the radar almost doesn’t exist. Not to mention, the video forecast starts approx 3x before I actually get to see it. By that time, I just close the app and go elsewhere. Weather dept is great! But this app is steps backwards..Version: 42.8.26
✓ Bring back Stormtracker AppThis app is beneficial for people who want to look actual news. I prefer just using the stormtracker app for the weather. This one is very hard to navigate for weather. I feel keeping the two separate was a good tactic. I am also getting notifications for news items that I don’t even want; even though I have my notifications turned off for the news portion..odd. Just not a fan of this app and prob going to delete it..Version: 42.2.11
✓ Difficult to use.This new site is difficult to navigate and to find areas that the old website had clearly labeled. I don’t like that it takes triple the time to find the areas and the “Topics” listing stinks. At this point I’ve started going to the other news websites rather than get so aggravated trying to find something or get to the news stories or possible delays. It is just my opinion, but I feel the design of this new website is poorly executed and not user friendly at all, especially if you’re a senior who is not using computers or mobile devices nonstop..Version: 42.3.15
✓ Zero improvement over old appEverything about this app is worse than the previous iteration. It has less news stories and more ads. The color choice is odd eschewing the well known yellow and black of the logo. It is bland and disorganized. I can only hope that this release was rushed and that they plan to make improvements quickly. As for the ads, I would be willing to pay a yearly fee for an ad-free experience IF they app improved at least 90%..Version: 42.1.16
✓ Developed for advertising and not user focusedThe new app is difficult and confusing. It’s been developed for advertisers and not news, content, weather or the end user. Plus the splash screen is truly annoying. I already know what app I’ve opened and I know if it’s morning, afternoon, or night. When I open an app, especially a news app, I want the data I’m looking for as quickly as possible. Just removing the splash screen animation and having the app open straight to the news would improve this app to three stars for me. For now I’ve gone back a decade and just put a bookmark to the webpage on my phone instead of using the app. The WTSP app from 10 news out of Tampa was another unfortunate casualty of this design. The old WNEP app was very good, albeit outdated, it functioned well and did the job of presenting the user with data phenomenally. Plus why are you only allowed five saved locations for weather? I used the old WNEP app all over the country and if traveling I could store locations I travel to frequently. But the new app is limited to only five. It doesn’t even make logical sense. Why would you want someone to use another app that meets their needs and purposely cost yourselves ad revenue? I mean based on the barrage of ads on the new app you make it obvious that they are a major part of WNEP’s future..Version: 42.4.12
✓ Missing features from old app.I prefer the old app, there was nothing wrong with it. But considering that I cannot live stream the news anymore from WNEP with this app, I will have to switch to watching WBRE or FOX 56 while at work, I can stream the news with their apps. Not to mention that the notification system isn’t as comparable to the previous one with school closings, traffic, etc. once these basic functions are restored, I will continue watching WNEP once again..Version: 42.1.16
