Pros and cons of WUSA9 News app for iPhone and iPad

WUSA9 News app good for

Best D.C. area news, traffic, & weather app AND it even has all 3 airports (BWI, DCA, IAD) arrivals & departures. Outstanding!!!

Smooth app with good content. Id like to see a search feature, but the app itself is clean and more stable than a lot of alternatives. Useful for both DC area local content and national

Very helpful app! But how many times am I expected to rate it?

I like this app, has a lot of information. Also keeps me updated with all current events.

A+ App Up to date news, weather, sports, events and world news just to name a few.

I absolutely love WUSA9! They report the news in a straight forward unbiased fashion. I love getting instant alerts from them on my phone so I can stay informed about the daily news reports...especially now more than ever considering the sad state of affairs in our country and around the globe

Some bad moments

I agree with the other reviewer about this latest update having buffering problems and blanking out. My real concern is that I no longer get the weather video, either here or the USA9 radar app. Tegna has turned W USA into a tabloid, and all I need is my weather at this point. Seriously, who cares about cat videos and what is trending? I want to see real news when I turn on the news, not cat videos and giveaway games. And now the weather video is nowhere to be found.

My go-to app when Im looking for stale, incomplete, and repetitive information. Though the apps functionality is fine, news items often lack dates, times, and details, and the "breaking news" touted by the network is typically covered better by competitors apps.

Cant follow any of the news stories because you are constantly getting interrupted to review the app. Well be careful what you ask for. ONE STAR because I cant give it a ZERO STAR rating.

There a several interruptions during the course of watching/listening to the program on my iPad. The app will freeze or crash completely. Sometimes I get a message stating that there is no access to the Internet--I clearly do and have no problem accessing other apps. Getting to the actual screen to press play is a little clumsy and could be improved. Good thought on the app, but needs a lot of work.

The weather parts of the app are good, but the rest is very weak and far below the quality that WUSA.com provides online outside this app. It is very slow to load. The news stories are poorly written (except when written by one of the established on-air personalities such as Bruce LeShan or Peggy Fox) and seemingly unedited for content or grammar. And many stories from outside the DC area - taken from USA Today, AP or other sources. - are included with no clue as to the location of the event described. WUSA has a highly professional news staff, to whom this app must be a great embarrassment.

From the time that I click on the app icon to it displaying any kind of news is a serious time lag. Swear it seems like it takes forever. Gets me to wondering if anything will display. Why does this take so long? My other icons bank, weather, time, calendar, fast food, Red Box, etc dont take 1/2 as much time to display.
