5/5Terrible update
While I LOVE WAFB, and they are my go to news channel, the new application, is awful! It is terribly glitchy, and when I go to read an article, the media player automatically plays, and the majority of the time, it’s not playing on the actual story I’m trying to read. For example, I was trying to read about the shooting at the mall, and there wasn’t a video on the article, but audio from an advertisement started playing, but there wasn’t anything for me to mute, or pause so I could actually read the article. I end up having to completely exit, and go back in to it.

3/5Alerts are too frequent / & Are not truly RELEVANT “Breaking News”
Please create more subcategories for “Breaking News” > ALERTS/Notifications. We all have very different concerns & interests, and what is relevant to our daily lives. *For example, general Court case results are not relevant to me, nor the majority of your viewers/subscribers, unless it personally affects us. - Ask yourselves: Who is my audience, & what “news” is of most importance, most relevance, while considering how it affects their lives daily, or in a grander matter, such as public figures. Though interesting, or even salacious, all “Stories” are not necessarily “News” for a local TV provider to share. “Breaking News” used to be used only for highly important and/or urgent notices to the public. For years now it’s become the equivalent to “crying wolf”. This has created a hazard to society where we no longer recognize or pay attention to legitimate and serious “Breaking News-Alerts”. To help correct this trend, consider creating various subcategories for individual “Alerts” so that your website and App become a more dependable and beneficial tool to the community. -Thanks

5/5Delays due to ads
When I receive a tweet or notification that a news story is breaking and I go to WAFB Live, there is a delay to the broadcast because of several ads. I know “it’s all about the $” but very often I don’t even stick around for the news because I don’t want to watch the commercials. No “skip ad” option is offered. WAFB is my favorite news source. Thank you!

1/5Way Too Much Stuff Trying To Load At The Same Time !!!
Let’s just open the WAFB App and initially see Ads after Ads of the same of whom bombards us with commercials during watching WAFB on tv. The loading of Ads after Ads while attempting to see of read an article of importance keeps the article from loading and goes into a flickering state. If you don’t mind placing a string of 1000 extremely bright white blinking XMAS lights inches away from your eyes, you won’t mind attempting to stare at this WAFB App waiting for your choice of an article to load. So so sad !!! Try loading today’s most important Covid-19 map, after it finally loads i dare you to attempt to zoom into your parish without hurting your eyes during the stages of the screens only to come up blank white screen throughout the process only to start over again to finally give up !!!

1/5This APP, incl. its writers, needs a tune-up!
This app is so outdated! The people who write these articles for this app, write them as if ONLY PPL FROM BR AND LIVING IN BR are the only ones READING ABOUT BR! What about ppl who frequent the area and prefer reading news instead of watching it on tv? The information isn’t specific when doing reviews about local businesses and events, very vague ( I mean, wth is the Valley Park area? What street is the restaurant on the that you’re reviewing?) There are ALWAYS GRAMMATICAL ERRORS and misspelled names, as if this isn’t 2024 with an unlimited amount of resources for spellcheck! The information for positive local events ALWAYS pop up on the day of the event, but you’ll have every crime for the past two months FRONT AND CENTER! There are NEVER any follow ups to stories and the way you close out an article is just very simple and basic. DO BETTER!!!
