Decent

Pretty good local news app but a good bit of “extra junk” in amongst the news stories. I’d rather have the option of paying for premium edition to do away with all the “fluff” and “ads” !
Easy and clear

I enjoy the simplicity as well as the content of the WRAL app. Makes it easy to click on and see what I want within a few minutes.
Does not work

The app doesn’t work. If you click on a notification, it will say error instead of taking you to the story/video. Useless.
Excessive and unacceptable bias
Aleaddict
WRAL can't even pretend to provide balanced news with the heavily-biased editorials and comics appearing on the home page of their app on a daily basis. After over 40 years of watching channel 5 news, I recently switched to another triangle TV station and have found that I actually like the competition better. And I'm sorry Greg and Elizabeth, but I'm finding their weather to be much more accurate. Thank you for all the bias, it guided me to a better news and weather source. I uninstalled all instances of WRAL news and weather apps across all our devices.
Eh

Poorly written content full of spelling and grammatical errors. And seriously... whoever is sitting at the controls please give the notifications a rest!
Repeat articles and/or outdated news
Looking for options
Many of the headlines on app (especially iPad versions) are repeat articles. I’ll see the same story listed 2-3 times. Many articles are days old. But Greg Fishel’s weather reports are great!
Where’s the news story?

If you LOVE getting notifications about interesting news stories only to click and never receive then this is the app for you! The app is fine as long as you never expect to be able to actually find, much less read, a news story sent in a notification. I have deleted better news apps for less. I guess I will just turn off all notifications for this app as I struggle to find ways to get me to keep it.
Good weather, but news extreme left

They have excellent weather and sports, but their news is extremely one sided and liberal
Error message when I open the app up about half the time.

Half the time when I open the app up, it says something about an error and I have to try again. I’m always connected to WiFi or using my data, so there isn’t a problem on my end.
Horrible on iPads
RP/C
I have the 2018 iPad and the app never displays content. On my older iPad mini it just locks up. I am running the latest version of iOS on both and have plenty of free space. On my iPhone the app loads but very slowly and sometimes does not load graphics for all the stories. This behavior started 2 versions ago.
