### 4/5 — NOTIFICATION

*2026-03-24, version 8.0.2*

I CAN’T GET THE NOTIFICATION TO GO AWAY AFTER OPENING LOOK AT ALL OF THE NEWS IT STILL SAYS I HAVE A NOTIFICATION.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2024-10-23, version 7.0.13*

I’ll often see a notification telling of an article that sparks my interest. I’ll click that notification and it always loads something different!

### 2/5 — Chromecast?

*2024-09-30, version 7.0.13*

Why does the app not include this element?

### 3/5 — Getting my news

*2024-06-08, version 7.0.12*

I now live In Ocilla and I love looking at WALB in the mornings I had to switch to Fire stick tv because of our income and now we can't even get walb in the morning we don't want to see LNL we want walb local

### 2/5 — Too much squeeze for a little bit of juice.

*2024-05-13, version 7.0.12*

There are way too many ads. It’s just not worth fooling with the app.

### 2/5 — Wow!

*2024-05-04, version 7.0.12*

Y’all need help. Stories that are very newsworthy being ignored, misinformed reporting, horrible editing, etc. And this website needs tweeting as well. Get it together. Your turnover rate is alarming as well. If you need real consulting, let me know. I’ll definitely proof read stories for grammatical and informational purposes.

### 2/5 — Unable to access on cell tower

*2023-12-14, version 7.0.12*

If I am not corrected to Wi-Fi the app displays a connection error and will not open. I am on Verizon. When I’m back home I am too busy to open the app.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2023-02-04, version 7.0.1*

I get the same news over and over again.  Apparently there’s no news on weekends since you never report any.  I never know who’s going to be reporting the news because there’s always someone new. Surely y’all can do a better job.  I’ve started using the Fox News app more.  At least they actually have news.

### 1/5 — Deerfield Football

*2022-11-26, version 6.7.13*

What good is this “breaking news” if you can’t find one word about the Deerfield football game when they are playing for a state championship?????   The last mention about Deerfield football was the Terrell Academy game which was weeks ago!!!

### 1/5 — New App

*2021-06-05, version 6.7.1*

This new App is terrible !!!!!!!!
The old one was so much better.
Takes to long to load and navigating is horrible

### 1/5 — Latest update is awful

*2021-05-12, version 6.6.7*

I am very sorry, but I absolutely hate the new update. The ads are larger than the articles. Touching a notification throws me out. It is difficult to find all the stories. I wish you could return to the prior version.

### 2/5 — Too many advertisements, you have to close at least 3 advertisements before you can read the news

*2021-05-04, version 6.6.7*

Too many advertisements, you have to close at least 3 advertisements before you can read the news

### 1/5 — update ruined the app

*2021-05-02, version 6.6.7*

fire whoever made this new update to the app because it’s horrible!

### 1/5 — Too much

*2021-04-29, version 6.6.7*

The old app was more user friendly! Don’t like the new one at all!

### 1/5 — WALB-10 update

*2021-04-24, version 6.6.6*

App is completely useless since the update. Entirely too many ads that must be closed in order to advance. Once in the notifications screen, clicking on any notification causes the app to crash. Complete waste of an update. App is no longer useful.

### 1/5 — New App is Bad

*2021-04-24, version 6.6.6*

The new app is so bad. I click on the alerts and go down a rabbit hole of ads and never get to the story. Please go back to the old app. This one is completely unusable on iPhone.

### 1/5 — New version is a huge step backwards

*2021-04-21, version 6.6.5*

The amount of ads are unreasonable, sacrificing functionality to make ad revenue.
Updated layout is much more difficult to use than previous version.  This app just went from daily use to uninstalled.

### 1/5 — give us the option to keep the old app!

*2026-06-11, version 8.0.5*

i HATE this new revised look!! it suckS!! i just want to read the news! give us the option to go b vs ack to the old app!

### 1/5 — Updated app

*2026-05-20, version 8.0.4*

This app is not user friendly anymore.

### 1/5 — Something’s wrong with the app

*2026-04-06, version 8.0.2*

Needs to go back the way it was.

### 1/5 — Change isn’t always good.

*2026-03-30, version 8.0.2*

I don’t like the new version of your news app. Some videos start playing the second I click on a news story. Sometimes I just want to read about the news. I don’t like being forced to watch 30 seconds of an ad for a roofing company.  I don’t see why you have to have so many ads. You even have them on breaking news. If it’s so important that you need to send a notification you shouldn’t be making somebody wait to see what’s going on. Also, some videos start playing and it’s not even relevant to the news story I clicked on.

### 1/5 — Terrible new app

*2026-03-21, version 8.0.2*

Hate this new WALB app…please go back to previous version

### 1/5 — Forced Tracking Is Unacceptable

*2026-03-10, version 8.0.1*

This App forces you to accept tracking to use it. Completely unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Go woke, go broke.

*2025-08-04, version 7.0.15*

This station becomes more woke everytime I get a notification. Deleting this app.

### 1/5 — App has bugs/ errors issues

*2024-08-25, version 7.0.13*

Erasing data, jumping pages,no stability, remote access possibilities

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-05-27, version 7.0.12*

When you get notifications and click on it to go to the App, 90% of the time it doesn’t take you to the story. Deleting the App.

### 1/5 — Pending viewer

*2023-10-26, version 7.0.11*

Too much negative news, you need to cover some more positive stories
