Now I hate that when you open the app video ADVERTISEMENTS blasting with sound starts up every time. You have to wait until the CONTINUE TO APP tab appears. ### 2/5 — Categories *2026-05-08* What happened to the obituaries and Mr. Food? I can’t find them anywhere. ### 2/5 — app needs work *2025-01-11* Very minimal news items. The watch live always gives me a “not available at this time” even during supposedly scheduled viewing times listed. Get with the program WBBJ te ch department!!! ### 3/5 — Please fix! *2016-01-22* I like this app except the radar doesn't work and now it says error loading news please fix and I will give 5 stars thank you! ### 2/5 — Weather map crashes *2015-02-20, version 2.10.0* Wearer map crashes app. Don't update until the app is fixed. It worked fine before the update. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2015-02-20* Won't stop closing on me. Really needs to be updated. Will give it 5 stars when it's fixed. ### 1/5 — Stories Won't Load *2014-10-08, version 2.4.0* Fix the APP so articles load. ### 2/5 — Needs updating.. Badly *2014-09-29* They need to update it more. They don't have live streaming. They have way to many ads popping up. 5th Quarter score and other news are so unorganized and really need to "write" better layouts. Just go to their website. ### 2/5 — Terrible design *2014-08-08, version 2.4.0* Bad design. Also there is no live streaming of news broadcasts. ### 1/5 — Where's The Sports *2014-08-03, version 2.4.0* Terrible updating. It's 8/3 and the latest update is 7/29. It's a joke ### 1/5 — Still no video content *2014-06-23, version 2.4.0* Even after update, limited news compared to website and no search function. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2014-06-17* I was so excited that WBBJ finally made an app...then I got extremely frustrated with it. Every other time you go to a different section, ads pop up. It's very annoying. Lose the ads, or at least cut the amount of ads down tremendously or I will no longer use this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very inferior *2026-05-09* This app is so inferior to the previous one. This one has no details about the staff background, and no mugshots which was the most viewed thing on the older app. ### 1/5 — Hard to find things. *2026-05-07* Where’s mug shots? ### 1/5 — lol *2024-12-18* no pip in 2024 and have to watch an ad during severe weather which is incredibly ridiculous, careless and moronic. proudly show off city mugshots too, you don't care about people. racist and archaic sports team proudly called ever night. my people are not a mascot. I got your tipster. ### 1/5 — No notifications *2021-08-30* I don’t receive any notifications. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-02-10* The new update on iPhone to the app is horrible on stories out of line mugshots doesn’t work properly it shows double ### 1/5 — The new app is trash *2021-02-06* The old App is way better of course it has some problems but in the new one there’s no dark mode ### 1/5 — Terrible. What a joke. *2019-06-16, version 9.3* Last update was almost a year ago and it shows. ### 1/5 — Not efficient *2019-06-10* App will not open half the time! ### 1/5 — Poor app. *2019-04-08* They basically beg you to download this app. But there’s rarely any breaking news notifications ### 1/5 — News Updates *2015-07-12, version 2.12.0* You don't update it enough to get the most accurate news stories ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Buffering *2020-11-04* When I got to get on it buffers won’t pull up or load like the app is crashed or somthing it’getting annoying I love the app I keep having delete it reinstalling it 😬 ### 5/5 — Mr Tom *2016-04-30, version 7* Enjoying local news and weather. ### 5/5 — Help *2016-01-25* Error ,I keep getting a valid application manifest couldn't be retrieved, 500: internal server error ### 5/5 — First comment *2015-02-16* This is a good app because if you miss something onthe news here u go. It's spot of info . So thanks! ### 5/5 — Review *2014-05-14, version 2.3.0* I'm glad it is here ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-05-12, version 2.3.0* Cool app. Glad it's here! ### 5/5 — Excited *2014-05-09, version 2.3.0* I'm so glad wbbj has an app now. ### 4/5 — Needs Live Streaming *2014-07-19* Great app, but needs live streaming of news casts and breaking news and/or weather. All the Memphis stations have this option, we would like this option in Jackson too. Will give 5 stars when it happens. ### 4/5 — Grate App *2014-05-10, version 2.3.0* I love this App!!! ### 3/5 — Error code 4.5 *2025-05-11, version 216.2* Keeps saying “content unavailable, please try again later, code 4.5”. Doesn’t work on iPad or iPhone, but regular web page works. I’m guessing it’s due to the ad that used to pop up and now doesn’t. Clicking ok on error msg just gives you splash screen and twirling cursor. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
