I am not sure why other reviewers have said this local news app is not nice-looking or that they had to click additional links to go to each article. Perhaps the developers have fixed these issues because I personally found this breaking news app very easy on the eyes and I could read each article in a beautiful, pleasantly designed format within the app itself.

WGAL local news app runs on devices with iOS 13.0 or later with support of up to iOS 14.0 and it is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It will need 104.3 MB of free memory space on your mobile device to download and install. The constant updates to fix bugs, makes this app very reliable to use.

I love the Traffic feature; it opens up a map of the area and gives you very accurate data on how long it might take you to arrive at your destination using different routes. The Health section offers a list of the top local and national-level stories pertaining to health.

Enabling push notifications means you will be alerted when there is breaking news. If you wish to follow the story, you can watch a live video stream of the breaking news, or catch it later on the daily newscasts.

Interactive Media

In today's day and age, it is important for developers to recognize the fact that apps like these can be interactive. In a democratic country like the USA, it only makes sense to be inclusive of people, to hear about their thoughts and feelings on subject matter.
