### 1/5 — WBAY News app redesign is horrible

*2026-05-09, version 3.0.3*

Not only is the performance of the WBAY News app redesign bad, it no longer provides up-to-date news.  The most recent news it provides is from the day prior, as if it is a printed newspaper.

### 1/5 — Adds interfere

*2026-04-12, version 3.0.3*

The adds interfere with my enjoyment of the articles.  They should only play if you want them  to play

### 1/5 — Annoying video

*2026-04-08, version 3.0.3*

I hate that videos play automatically and there is nothing in settings to turn it off.

### 1/5 — Want old app back!

*2026-04-03, version 3.0.2*

Am/was a WBAY live tv and app.  Why did I update?  So angry that I cannot forward articles anymore.  Deleted new app but trying one more time.  If still issues of digging thru everything, out you go!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible Update

*2026-04-01, version 3.0.2*

Whatever you did for this update make me not even want to open the app. Stutters when scrolling and no swipe back feature. Bad upgrade for an update.

### 1/5 — Changes Suck

*2026-03-28, version 3.0.2*

The change sucks.  Time to get news elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Design

*2026-03-25, version 3.0.2*

This newest redesign is horrible

### 1/5 — Sound at Alerts

*2026-03-24, version 3.0.2*

Hate the alerts sound, and not finding a way to mute

### 2/5 — Continues to reset even when moving between stories.

*2026-03-19*

This app videos displays news for  any where else but your actual station. When moving between stories, it always refreshes.  Cumbersome, not user friendly app!

### 2/5 — Terrible “Upgrade”

*2026-03-17, version 3.0.2*

Really?!?
