I'm guessing there was was update recently. The icon for the app changed and the look inside is a little different but the app is empty. All I see is a white screen. The navigation pain doesn't list any information. The home page is always blank. May have to delete this app for good if this isn't corrected. I uninstalled the app and downloaded it a second time; the issue continues to persist. Ever since the update, I am unable to get any news articles through the app. No morw local news I guess.

This app needs some attention. I have my alert settings in the app set, but either I'm receiving other stuff, or WAFB has a loose interpretation of what is considered breaking news. Not only that, half the time when I open an alert, it opens my web browser (not the app) and takes me to some page to watch the news (live or rebroadcast), and the app continues to redirect me until I shut it down. Alerts should always open in the app and be tied to some article, which can include an embedded video.

Nice idea...terrible execution. It's helpful when it opens.....and that's not often. I have to uninstal and reinstall to open once....then, do it all over over again to open again. Once inside, the stories are easy to find and laid out in an organized manner. It's beneficial to have news about our area in a convenient place. If the "bugginess" of the app gets fixed, it would be 5 stars.

Wish I could finish an article. Since downloading it, I have opened the app many times, just to close it before anything was displayed, because I ran out of time waiting for it to load. Very laggy. Then, when I do get the article up, I get ½ way through it, and the screen goes blank. And if it is not the #1 story, good luck finding it again. Think I'll just stick with their website. Uninstalling now.

Half of the time when I open the app, articles then open through my web browser. That defeats the purpose of having the app. Also, I can't filter some of the "breaking news alerts"...so shots fired on Capitol Hill has the same urgency as Watch tonight at 10 as we break down this weekend's weather...or Coach O holds news conference on new football helmets! You get the picture...

The app regularly goes to a blank white screen on Android after the update. Clearing storage data in app settings fixes that for about 5 minutes of reading then it occurs again. Sometimes hitting the back button will allow you back to the home screen but it goes blank immediately upon opening an article.
