It would be nice if a news app gave info on events happening in the area; I feel like we should go back to getting a newspaper. What would be so hard to have a small section about local things to do on the weekends.
Your station is very quick to report breaking news. I appreciate that! However, I find your updates lacking in both speed and content. Often, I find myself wondering about certain events that you have reported on and when I look for updated info, I typically find only the original story with a new or updated headline. Generally you end the story by saying you are following the story and will update as info becomes available. Instead of chasing every new and often trivial story, please spend a little more time on presenting the latest info on important stories you have started. Thank you, BHN Surfside Beach, SC
I very much love the information and presentation presented by this app. I only have one suggestion. Like today there was a be on the lookout for a fugitive post that was informative. However, you are unable to enlarge the picture to really see the person of interest. There are lots of times that there are great photos but you can’t see them on the presentation of a phone screen because it’s too small. Please see if there is a way to allow us to enlarge photos. Would be a great help. Thank you.
The problem is actually not a problem, but it’s a problem correlated to being on Wi-Fi. if I’m going to use this app and use it to its full potential, I have to not be using my Wi-Fi. If I’m using Wi-Fi the app will open, the ads will play the articles will not open. As soon as I turn my Wi-Fi off and use AT&T’s network, then the articles will show. it’s something I don’t like having to do by turning on and off my Wi-Fi it’s just how you have to do to use it now. Please fix.
I do not like the new app at all. It is very hard to scroll to read the news due to so many pop up ads blocking your stories. I have all local mobile news apps and WMBF was always my favorite . Please clean it up!
Even with my settings adjusted to only be alerted for “breaking news” I still get flashes about weather every day. Not dangerous or unusual weather, just alerts to tell me that weather will be discussed on the news. Annoying.
The new app layout is very bland and does not really highlight stories. It’s kind of boring and confusing as to what is news and what are advertisement sponsored material. I am a news junkie but my time on this app has dropped 90% according to my screen time tracker.
This app requires location services to load, really? I know why you want that feature so you can blast us with ads and btw this app is loaded with them to the point it is disruptive to the app! News is not updated daily and stories have misspelled words. For locals relying on information this is not the app for that!
Not thrilled with the new update. Every news alert is sent twice, a few minutes apart. The notification sound is quite annoying. It sounds like a video game.
Alerts are revived. When you click on the sheet the article is not available. on it - and the article has not been published to the app yet Need ability to set parameters for news alerts and only get them for areas wanted.
Breaking news is fast, content of stories is adequate - however the number of unique stories is low - as you scroll down the list of stories they repeat over and over-why??! This is the reason for the 2 stars.
This recent app update is terrible. I believe the advertisements are causing an issue. The layout is pretty bad as well. Have the station manager use this app for one day and I guarantee this will get fixed quickly. Looking forward to a quick corrective update.
I hate the new app. Can’t silent the sound when notifications come in. Always shows the red bubble with all notifications even if they where two weeks old and clearer then. I am deleting this app. Can’t even rate it because they know it stinks.
I just uninstalled this app and switched to another local stations add. It got to where I could not read an article without popup ads taking over the screen. To frustrating, I'm done with it. I understand ads on a free app but not to the point of highjacking the user.
Horrible attempt to create or redesign a news app. The app is loaded with click bait. If you are lucky enough to actually click on a story they are very slow to load and crash. Totally disappointed.
I was forced to download the update. Don’t like it at all. Why do I have to scroll through days old news to find anything from today? Will be searching for another news source.
What happened? I just downloaded the new improved app and my iPhone and iPad closes every time I try to open to read an article. What was the update for? I want the older version back.
Ever since they got the new app, it keeps crashing. Unable to rate app on the app. The notifications clear but then return in large numbers. Too many ads. Old app so much better
No explanation as to cause of outage? That’s unacceptable. What’s the secret? Hope to hear the reason soon. Amid all the terror, hacking, inept governing, we need clarity and honesty.
The new update that I was forced to download is, frankly, absolutely a down grade and confusing from the previous version. A lot of my friends and colleagues agree with that since we typically use just WMBF app. Considering changing news apps.
You are all headlines…no follow up information. i.e. headline..Man goes missing..follow up. He is found….where? When? How? Who? First things I learned in journalism class.
Next flood hire me to put up a map and mark twice a day where water breaching banks, instead of linking to a 7 day old projection and verbal non specific locations. Thanks
