Fix yourself!!! ### 1/5 — Breaking news bug *2025-03-01, version 8.2.7* What is the point of sending a “breaking news” alert if there’s no article attached to the notification?! Absolutely frustrating, especially if the news is local and dangerous!! ### 2/5 — Deleting way too many ads *2024-05-04, version 8.2.6* I can get the news somewhere else . Seriously way too many ads. I just tried to read a story but I didn’t even get to finish reading the first line. Because ads just kept popping up. ### 2/5 — App needs updating *2024-03-05, version 8.2.5* App continues to run in the background, killing the battery is short order. ### 1/5 — Very unstable with frequent crashes and re-starts *2022-11-08, version 8.1.5* Honestly, there is no excuse for it to be this bad. ### 1/5 — App is awful *2022-07-29, version 8.1.0* I am a big fan of almost everyone at Wbap except the app. It’s awful, never works, says it needs to be updated but in the Apple store it doesn’t need to be updated. The app has not loaded for three days now. Going to have to find another place to listen. O and you can not report it because it times out before you can let anyone know there is a problem. ### 2/5 — Too many interruptions *2022-07-29, version 8.1.0* The commercials are really over done. The app will stop then restart and you have to listen to another pitch while you missed an important comment. ### 5/5 — Hal Jay *2022-06-30, version 8.1.0* He needs to retire. No longer funny and turn off when he is on the air ### 1/5 — Poorly Written App *2022-04-25, version 8.1.0* Possibly the most ridiculous app remains number one crap. Your update did great, now you get to listen to two commercials at once when launching. Not a surprise. ### 1/5 — Podcast access *2021-11-23, version 6.20.0* I find it impossible to find a link to a specific half hour of the Chris Crock program to send that link that specific part of this program to a friend. It’s nuts to just send them out to the website which is all I can see to do. And then have them go through and find the show that I want to listen to. I want to be able to get the link to the show and send that specific link. ## Frequently asked questions about WBAP ### What can I do with the WBAP app?
