WMBF Breaking News & Weather Reviews

by LeeA2502

Horrible attempt to create or redesign a news app. WMBFBreakingNewsWeather 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.

When you try to view a page ad comes up, you delete pop up ad, then unable to read story you hoped to read. Very disappointing

I just uninstalled WMBFBreakingNewsWeather 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.

WMBFBreakingNewsWeather requires location services to load, really? I know why you want that feature so you can blast us with ads and btw WMBFBreakingNewsWeather is loaded with them to the point it is disruptive to WMBFBreakingNewsWeather ! News is not updated daily and stories have misspelled words. For locals relying on information this is not WMBFBreakingNewsWeather for that!

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 WMBFBreakingNewsWeather. Can’t even rate it because they know it stinks.

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 WMBFBreakingNewsWeather for one day and I guarantee this will get fixed quickly. Looking forward to a quick corrective update.

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.

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.

Its too difficult to navigate through all of the ads to get to the news

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.

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.

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,

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 WMBFBreakingNewsWeather has dropped 90% according to my screen time tracker.

They push out updates and when you click on the link it brings up the old story with no update.

I have updated my app but every time I go to open it crashes. I get notifications from WMBFBreakingNewsWeather but can’t do anything else. Plz fix soon. Thx

by Fiddlehrad

As long as my old app works, I’ll keep using it. I happen to like it.

WMBF gives me the up to the minute news on local and regional information

by SandyBeachBabe55

Great App! I used to be contacted about traffic. I need to look to find that again! Thx!

by Mblocal

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!

WMBFBreakingNewsWeather is fantastic but ever since I updated WMBFBreakingNewsWeather, it instantly crashes the minute I try to even use it. It won’t even open at all now.

by Fskull1412

Downloaded the updated version and now it won’t let me open it. Click on my existing WMBF icon and it will not open. No issues prior

by Jgoldgg

It’s great! However can y’all offer a premium upgrade to block out pop ups? It’s quite annoying. Just asking. Or maybe space them out a little bit more
