Terrible app. No ability to customize alerts. Bombarded with "Breaking news" all day long for every single story, most of which are not even newsworthy. What's worse, the app experience is identical to watching the news. Every "breaking news" story is nothing more than the fluffy introductory blurb that an anchor would read on a newscast, followed by the video. I downloaded the app so I could quickly scan each story. If I wanted to actually "watch" the news, I would turn on the TV. Uninstalling

First, the problem: the alerts/notifications. STOP IT with the useless pictures. There's just enough headline to be vague, and an utterly USELESS picture/graphic that cuts off what may or may not be useful info. WE DON'T NEED A PICTURE OF SOMEONE AT A MICROPHONE!!! Please, please get RID of the pics with the alerts. Otherwise, there are reasons this is the only local news app I have - and that's because it's relevant without being overbearing, and it's easy to navigate.

I love WTAE, the early news, the morning crew, they deliver the news , breaking news and weather on point all the time. They are professional,personable, and engaging and are always on point, with traffic concerns, ongoing events throughout the tri-state area. The evening crew are professional and personable, friendly, and thorough with delivery of breaking news and all news that may affect traffic issues and weather conditions as well as upcoming events throughout the tri- state area.
