This updated app brings more features and functions so with a few simple touches, you can read and watch the latest WEAU news or share it with family and friends by e-mail, text message and even post to your Facebook news feed and Twitter.
Requires iOS 9 or higher.
App shuts down when you tap on the radar loop. Uninstalling shortly.....argh. Make the old app available until the junk new one is fixed
There are more ads then news. Now there are ads mixed in with the headlines and in every story. We'll I guess they figured more ads is more important then the news. As far as the articles, not only are they inaccurate the spelling mistakes are usually numerous. Haven't they learned about proof reading or using a spell checker at least. Terrible!
This app is ok would be better if it would work all the time!! Can't get the news at all now!!
This is an improvement from just using the web site, but there’s more work to do. The weather link from the home page is nice, though it’s a bit disconcerting that tapping on the time/date icons brings up a modal dialog with more information. Oddly, however, the “local weather” link (vs. “current conditions” or the home page) just goes to the WEAU web site, and has a slightly different forecast than that shown in the home page link. The menu on the iPad (oddly, reached by clicking on three lines) is a mess — each entry is so large that you have to scroll through them, even though there are only 11 of them, and for 7 of the 11, you need to click twice (clicking on "Closings" results in a second menu with just "Closings" as a choice). This really needs a redesign; a standard iOS pop-over would be a far better way of doing it. The "Settings" button changes its function depending on the page you’re on, which isn’t obvious. (In the weather page, it brings up a location editor — which only accepts zip codes — but in a story page, it brings up settings.) (I'll be looking through the new version to see if these are improved!) The “Today’s events” screen shows only the first four events, and doesn’t allow them to be scrolled through — so you’ll miss a lot! The “Terms of Use” comes up in a tiny modal dialog, which makes them rather hard to read. (OK, not that anyone does.) So, better than the web site (except for “today’s events”), but hopefully it will be improved over time!
App crashes whenever a search is attempted. Other than that it is working fine on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.
