The app works well, but one very annoying feature of this app that caused me to take off a star is the fact that many articles feature an auto-playing video that starts with an ad that CANNOT BE PAUSED. I don't usually want to watch the video portion of an article, and the ad playing when I'm in public can be disruptive and annoying to other people. I can fix the issue by muting my phone, but a better fix altogether would be to disable auto-play. Otherwise, WGAL is my go-to local news source.

None of the videos play. If all you do is read the headlines it's okay but now that all news stories are just a link to a video with no story to read, it makes an app which loads no video like this one pretty useless. I have 1gig Internet.... it's not my connection... something is wrong with the app or its source for video feeds. It's badly broken. If your video doesn't load inside of 5 seconds remove the app from the app store or take it back to text.

Their weather forecast are never accurate until about 15 minutes before something changes or happens. They say "33" in York but when I leave for work my car says 48 the entire 45 minute drive. The same goes for your broadcast. You cannot count on them for correct information. AccuWeather and Weather Channel apps and broadcast are more accurate than they are. Deleting this app because its a waste of space.
