16 WAPT Breaking News Leader Reviews

I like being able to get the major headlines and any breaking news as it happens and The Severe Weather Alerts. I don’t like how some stories lead you to a page that’s 98% dragging you from Ad to A to be anke to read the story. That should be stopped. I know ads pay the bills and are very necessary but some of the stories linked on your website have Malicious links in them. And if your not careful scrolling quickly you’ll hit those scare tactic pop ups made to fool simpler minds into purchasing something. But all in all if you stay on local events only your ok.

Reading the stories and watching the accompanying videos are fine, but I do not like the haphazard layout of the news page. Since I don’t have a television, I watch on my iPhone or iPad. However, it often takes more than 5 minutes for the Live broadcasts to begin, and sometimes, they never connect. Too many times a reporter gets cutoff in the middle of a story, an anchor will be giving a story that has another story playing on top of it, video stops and repeats what was just said, or it just stops playing altogether. I do like the notifications throughout the day.

The content is updated VERY quickly for metro news. This is one of the few apps where I leave the notifications on. I feel like I know the most important news from Jackson without getting overwhelmed by irrelevant or clickbait stories. The weather section is also a lot more detailed than the basic iPhone weather app

I like the weather information and the maps. I would like to see more info on breaking news stories not just the headline in the body of the story with the all to often tag line “we’re following this story and will follow up as information becomes available “.

I think that 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader is better than similar apps here in Mississippi. One improvement can be made with the news feed that loads when you want to watch the news it will sometimes load the 5:00 pm news at 9:40pm forcing you too each that instead of being ready for the late news. The feed doesn’t always load properly or on time.

I could only give 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader 2 stars, simply because some days it works well and others it doesn’t. Not sure if it’s the broadcast or 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader , but some days it doesn’t play at all it simply buffers. Other days it will ply a few seconds, stop and repeat itself and stop. While there are other times 6am it seems they take a 15 or 20 minute hiatus until it comes back on. It’s free so what can you expect. If I paid for it, I would demand a refund because it too inconsistent and unreliable.

More of a complaint than a review. I have all three of our local tv news apps installed. I rarely watch any news and I ALMOST NEVER open any of my 5 news apps. I have push notifications on for all news apps and only read those alerts. After a certain length of time of not opening 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader I will get a push that says, “We miss you! Open 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader to continue to get push notifications.” NO! Stop making me open 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader just to continue to receive notifications.

Takes too long to read an update because of the ads. Some ads are twice as long as the update

I really appreciate the quick weather updates I enjoy the news stories especially the human interest stories and of course I enjoy anything Ole Miss Sports thanks for doing such a good job with 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader and your TV station for that matter have a blessed day

My only problem with 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader is that STUPID notification I get saying "you're about to stop getting notifications because you haven't opened 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader lately". I like headlines & only occasionally actually read the stories if it's something pertinent to me. Get rid of this (or make it an option in the settings) & you can have 5 stars.

I wish the stories would be on a single page instead of scrolling from one story into another story. I suggest instead of that use links to other stories instead of scrolling down into another story. Also I wish the weather radar wasn’t so complicated. When I wanna see a storm coming to my house I wish just seeing the radar only was default.

I Appreciate What You All Are Doing And Thank You All So Much For Keeping Our Community Aware Of What’s Going On Around Us We All Have Lives To Live Not 9 Lives Just One Praying Each And Every Day That God Go Before Us And Keep Us Be Bless

The recent change of radar format is disappointing. The loop goes back way too many hours. It is very slow loading and doesn’t load most of the time without having to close and re-open 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader . The previous app was easy to identify roads and it had a crosshair that could pinpoint an exact location as the view was widened. Please bring back the previous radar app.

Live stream is buggy. Very annoying to watch it and have to watch an ad to rejoin after closing stream to do anything as simple as check the time. No complaints other than this but I don't really use 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader for anything else.

My only con is a lot of notifications about every piece of news update. I prefer traffic and weather only

I have been relying on channel 16 weather reports for years. I’ve been using 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader for 2 or 3 years and particularly like the weather radar.

Appreciate your app, & current news & weather. I do not watch much tv exact for your WLBT news at 6 & 10:30 pm. Keep us current. Thanks.

I love the updates you post. I see them before they appear in the newspaper (if they ever do) and before the news comes on

Thanks. I appreciate the updates. They keep me knowledgeable thorough out the day when I can’t watch you live.

I really appreciate the weather alerts. WAPT David Hartman weather is the most correct weather forecast. Thanks

I love 16WAPTBreakingNewsLeader! The stories open up easily. They don’t shut down like most other news apps. I can depend on WAPT for the latest, breaking news! Thanks!!!
