Ratings and reviews

WAFB has been one of my favorite news apps. However, it has become extremely unreliable as of late. Nearly every time I click on an article, it glitches and blanks out. Then, I have to try to search for the article or look on another news app. Uninstalls and reinstall do not work either. I have contemplated uninstalling the app for good.

After I click on a news alert notification and start reading the article in the app, the app window will flicker and then blank out the text before I can finish reading the article. The app only seems to list the last 10 or so news pieces, so I have to manually search for the piece to finish it. This white-out behavior has continued through multiple app updates. Oh, and then there's when the app is taken over by noisy fake virus alert ads that only be cleared by closing the app.

I'm guessing there was was update recently. The icon for the app changed and the look inside is a little different but the app is empty. All I see is a white screen. The navigation pain doesn't list any information. The home page is always blank. May have to delete this app for good if this isn't corrected. I uninstalled the app and downloaded it a second time; the issue continues to persist. Ever since the update, I am unable to get any news articles through the app. No morw local news I guess.
