User Reviews for WESH 2 News - Orlando

Early Morning News

I moved to NE in early March. As an early riser I would watch Jason Guy and the rest of the morning crew. I was surprised that Amy wasn’t going to be a part of the early weather team. I miss y’all and the excellent reporting WESH has done and continues to do. I’ve got you’re app on my phone so I can see you. The local NBC station has a lot to do to catch up with you. All the best to everyone and here’s hoping the I4 Ultimate is making progress. 😊🇺🇸👋

This app is unusable - won’t even open

If you live in the Orlando area and want breaking news alerts without more information this is the app for you!You will get multiple alerts a day, mostly meaningless spam and the few worth looking into won’t open in the app. Actually the app doesn’t open but has a beautiful loading screen animation that I could stare at for hours while wondering what other information was relevant until I fall asleep. Overall 0/10 go find another news app for Orlando this one is awful. Despite the garbage app WESH news is reliable.

WESH 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.

Unnecessary 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!

Can do without the loud ads automatically playing.

I love WESH and for the most part I like the app. My biggest complaint is when I get a news alert or want to open an article, it automatically starts playing an ad....loudly if my phone volume isn't turned off. This is inconvenient and there should be a way to open an article and not have the ad before the story start playing right away. I close out of the app and never read the article when this happens. It's too aggravating and embarrassing if it happens when others are around me.

Click 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.

Dear WESH,

I love your station, and I go to your app first for my local news when I’m away from the house. Please, please stop running ads when there’s an emergency, such as BAD WEATHER. During Hurricane Irma, I needed updates, and freaking everything I tried to see cost me minutes of previous time watching advertisements! I uninstalled your app after that for months as a protest—I’m sure you didn’t care that you list ONE user... but please. Use common sense.

WESH APP

I find your app to be one of the more reliable news sources. Thank you for your dedication to timely and accurate information. I'm also impressed by the range of your TV News Anchors. The longevity of those like Dan, Claire and Gail is perfectly complimented by Jazmin, Stuart, Meredith, Jim and Stewart. Thank you for building and sustaining the careers of so many. The depth of the reporting is greatly enhanced because of their dedication.

Thanks!!👍

It’s very reassuring to know I can find any all stories happening in my area and all the way to the coast. I can’t always catch the evening broadcast, but I can always check into the app. Emergency alerts, weather, major crimes, sports, special interest, arts and happenings and all the stories that bring a smile to my face. I feel like they’ve tried very hard to give the big picture. What more could I ask for?!! Just keep up the good work!!!

Great 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.
