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.

Update again: I tried contacting the developer at the address provided, the address is not valid. Par for the course I suppose. Update again: Still terrible years later. I get way too many alerts, if I actually try to open the alert if goes to their flash screen and freezes. Garbage. Update: currently does not work at all with Android 7.0. Top local news, but the app itself sucks. Half the time it just sits there loading and never gets data. This is very annoying.

Nice idea...terrible execution. It's helpful when it opens.....and that's not often. I have to uninstal and reinstall to open once....then, do it all over over again to open again. Once inside, the stories are easy to find and laid out in an organized manner. It's beneficial to have news about our area in a convenient place. If the "bugginess" of the app gets fixed, it would be 5 stars.
