I love watching as well as Kia to WALB the broadcasting system is amazing. It keep me updated with new and live coverage news along with the weather. This is by far one of my favorite news sources. I also love the staff along with how everyone does an amazing job to presenting the best news to the people of surrounding Georgia. We couldn’t ask for a better news station WALB you are the best
Very informative on region covered, However not much local news on my area of interest. As a resident of North Georgia and family roots in Montgomery /Jeff Davis county. There is not much coverage in those areas.
In my opinion this app has gotten less user friendly. For example you can no longer view pictures on the main page of a story. And now with the latest update it does nothing but crash so for all intents and purposes it’s dead. One would think that they would test this app for bugs before they release it to the entire world.
I get the same news over and over again. Apparently there’s no news on weekends since you never report any. I never know who’s going to be reporting the news because there’s always someone new. Surely y’all can do a better job. I’ve started using the Fox News app more. At least they actually have news.
The app needs to have an option for the people of Georgia to respond and give opinion on subject matters that relate to health, services, and anything community based. The people of the community need to be able to respond or the stories posted in the news will always be one sided. Give the community, the city, the state, the people a voice.
I live in Patterson Ga. but travel to Albany 4-5 times a week. I like to know what is going on around me. WALB does that. Good and bad news. I would say top shelf group of people working there
App is completely useless since the update. Entirely too many ads that must be closed in order to advance. Once in the notifications screen, clicking on any notification causes the app to crash. Complete waste of an update. App is no longer useful.
A liberal city getting their daily dose of local, half fake news, spin. For half of the reporting it’s news but there is always that left wing undertone to the reporting on things. WALB, stick to reporting the news and nothing but the news- then leave out emotions and undertones.
The app used to keep me up to date on all the news. Since it kept giving me an “update now” when I opened the app, I finally updated. NOW my app doesn’t work. I open it and it closes automatically. I had to delete it all together. Not pleased with this update at all. Get it fixed and I’ll go and to 5 stars.
The amount of ads are unreasonable, sacrificing functionality to make ad revenue. Updated layout is much more difficult to use than previous version. This app just went from daily use to uninstalled.
I am very sorry, but I absolutely hate the new update. The ads are larger than the articles. Touching a notification throws me out. It is difficult to find all the stories. I wish you could return to the prior version.
App will not stay open after I did the recent update earlier today. iPhone 6s owner and Albany resident and like being able to have all forms of the news at my finger tips. Fix ASAP please.
What good is this “breaking news” if you can’t find one word about the Deerfield football game when they are playing for a state championship????? The last mention about Deerfield football was the Terrell Academy game which was weeks ago!!!
The recent update was a mess so to fix it delete the app off your phone completely. Then go to App Store and download again fresh. Everything will work.
The new app is so bad. I click on the alerts and go down a rabbit hole of ads and never get to the story. Please go back to the old app. This one is completely unusable on iPhone.
Only local news is on it. No others. National regional state international nothing. And STOP ALLOWING YOUR REPORTERS AND WRITERS TWIST THE STORIES LIKE CNN OR A BUNCH OF US ARE DELETING THIS APP AND USING FOX NEWS.
Had to turn notifications off. Ads freeze the screen. The new update has been buggy, when you go back from a story it starts back at the top of headlines, so if you were towards the bottom you have to scroll down to find your place. Sections don't always update...I see no more stories and it won't refresh and old news stays on the page now when it didn't in the last version. I tend to go to the website on my browser now and I hate that.
I like this app because of the local news. I miss the regular news often so this allows me to catch up quickly. Since the upgrade with the ads, it has frozen countless times. I will get an alert for a new story but can't scroll or tap to get to it. If they fix the bugs and get rid of the annoying ads I will give it 5 stars.
When I click on a news app, I want to see news. Not an opening screen with an ad that lasts and lasts. I've found WFXL's app has steadily improved. I do have to agree about the poor grammar and punctuation, though. I, also have thought a *local* news app should have weather alerts, but I have 2 other weather apps and don't bother to check WALB's. Overall, this app has dropped from a 4 to a 1 for me.
I can no longer get into this app to check the news. Insists that bluetooth be turned on to access my accessories and so they can determine my location. Freezes when you tell it maybe later. If I wanted bluetooth on it would be on. They have no need to access my accessories or my location. Will be deleting.
