It says I have a notification but nothing is new. ### 3/5 — Why the change? *2026-03-16* The app doesn't open as it did before. Also all critical alerts cannot be deleted from home screen. Ugh! ### 4/5 — Nice *2025-09-01, version 7.0.15* I use this app lots n enjoy up to date stuff today it won’t share on messenger for some reason ### 3/5 — App Needs Update to Fix Bug *2025-01-31* Multiple times this past week, when reading a news story, all of the text and pictures will disappear out of the blue. All you see is a white screen where the story used to be. I have to go back to the previous screen to open the story again to continue reading. I’ve even had this happen multiple times while trying to read one story and it’s a pain! ### 3/5 — Review *2023-11-07, version 7.0.11* Hire a proofreader. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2023-08-02, version 7.0.8* There are more ads than news coverage (some of which play back to back three to four times), and then it’s a toss up if you’re getting your local news coverage or one from another state! ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-06-16, version 7.0.7* Since a previous update, the app no longer loads the story, it starts then stops mid download. The frame and title load correctly. The wLOX app does the same ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-03-16, version 7.0.5* Half the time it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Problems all the time *2023-02-17, version 7.0.2* Every time I try to watch the news broadcasts wether latest edition or live, it is locked up by an add about some stupid online game. You need to fix this problem so people can watch the news without being cut off in the middle. ### 2/5 — Locking up and having to restart *2023-02-14* After commercials the app locks up and you have to restart the news cast and scroll past the commercial to watch further. However it will happen again and I have to repeat the steps. Either you fix it or I will watch WWL in New Orleans and delete the wdam app. ### 1/5 — Share My Opinion Instead *2022-02-23, version 6.7.5* Why does this app demand access to shared location in order to access news? I will not be needing this app anymore. I, like many others, value our privacy far beyond the value of WDAM’s lackluster articles. ### 3/5 — Not easy to navigate *2021-12-11, version 6.7.4* The app is a little disappointing. ### 1/5 — WON'T OPEN! *2021-12-06* I have tried this app before. I saw that it says that it has been updated. So I decided to give it another try. It still does not work. This app will not open unless "Location Services" are turned on in settings. This is NOT necessary for any of the other 265 apps that I use. I am the victim of extreme, stalking abuse and would NEVER want to broadcast my location at all times. I also use a VPN to block tracking. Literally, all other apps that I use, including WBRZ News app, my national news app, and all shopping, editing, and gaming apps, open and work just fine with zero problems. In fact, most apps give the option to refuse to allowing any tracking at all. Please fix your app so that all residents of the area can view the local news conveniently at any time too. ### 1/5 — Updated *2021-11-22, version 6.7.3* I update your app. And now it doesn’t work ,, I’m empressed ,, ### 1/5 — Crash *2021-11-22, version 6.7.3* Since the most recent update the app continues to crash ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Go back to the old app *2026-07-07, version 8.0.5* This New App is horrible, you can’t even zoom in on the photos ### 1/5 — Can’t Whatch live *2026-05-06, version 8.0.2* I live not far from the station and can’t get my app to play live. I just canceled dish ( the day before it came back on) because couldn’t get my local news. All my other apps have no problem playing just Wdam live. ### 1/5 — Horrible horrible app *2026-04-28, version 8.0.2* This is one of the worst apps I've ever seen got nothing but Spam advertisements to watch not any news not nothing local anyway thank you for nothing wdam! ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-04-07, version 8.0.2* I’m about to delete. I only use this for gas prices and now that don’t work. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-16, version 8.0.1* To chopped up and hard to read. Old version way better. Add pop is annoying every time you open and close story. ### 1/5 — clickbait and ragebait *2025-01-15, version 7.0.15* thats all this is ### 1/5 — You IDIOTS printed the name of a sexual assault VICTIM *2024-08-02* In today’s top story on the app, there is a HORRIFIC story about a 2 year old who was kidnapped and raped by a homosexual couple/relative of the 2 year old baby boy. To my HORROR, this app actually NAMED THE BABY!!!!! The story indicates that law enforcement found the perpetrators by using surveillance video of “where Herring was found”… (The baby was abandoned on side of the road naked.) The alleged journalist who posted the article should be fired immediately. The story has been reprinted and shared across the state with the kid’s name in it. ### 1/5 — Bias *2024-04-12* I know this is an NBC station, but you are in South Mississippi and we don’t want to hear how great Biden is paying student loan debt every night on the news. You neglect to say that the taxpayers are paying it. It’s not coming out of his pocket. Plus, it helps the white student a whole lot more than it does the black if anything this is bias toward black students. I only watched this station to catch something local that might interest me but every time y’all get on something on a federal level, you take the left leaning side of it in a right leaning side state. Why is that. who are the editors of this stuff that they can’t tell the story from both points of you and not just a Democratic. ### 1/5 — Newscast Playback *2023-12-04, version 7.0.12* Your latest newscast was nowhere to be found ### 1/5 — Amateur “reporters” *2023-08-16* Almost all stories lack important details. For example vehicle accidents, the cause is almost always unknown. No witnesses are ever interviewed. If there is a shooting, the motive is never known! Once again, witnesses are rarely interviewed! Very poor reporting on crimes. They take very little video footage of all stories! Maybe 10 seconds worth, that will be shown repeatedly while the anchor talks. If there is an interview, it’s very, very short! Never over 30 seconds! They don’t pay their journalists enough, no motivation to take initiative, investigative journalism is almost nonexistent! They rarely stay employed at WDAM for 6 months or longer. I think most of them are interns paid minimum wage! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great station and app *2026-07-03, version 8.0.5* Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — MeciueaOwens *2024-11-22, version 7.0.14* MeciueaOwens ### 5/5 — Growing up with channel 7news *2024-06-13* I grew up watching channel 7 and we always watched the midday news and always watched The 10 pm news and even as an adult when I travel having the weather app and the news app I don’t miss anything that’s important for our state and local community Thank you WDAM ### 5/5 — Who have the WIZZ??? *2023-12-05, version 7.0.12* My NUMBER ONE METEOROLOGIST PATRICK BIGBE HAS THE WIZZ, but the rest of the NEWS SEVEN TEAM FOLLOWS FOR THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI!!!!keep up the good work Patrick !!! ### 5/5 — Ole Miss Coach Bianca *2021-03-28, version 6.6.4* Great news for this Baseball Champion ### 5/5 — Trump *2021-02-14* I can tell you!!!!! The republicans that voted against Trump today can clean their desk out..... we will spend big money to get them out of office..... Democrats is liars and they will pay for their dirty money they take!!!!! Go Trump see you in 2024.... ### 5/5 — Answer to star rating *2020-11-18, version 6.6.4* You can always depend on WDAM. ### 5/5 — What happened? *2020-07-02* I updated the app and now it won’t even open the screen comes up then kicks me out ### 5/5 — Meciuea Owsns *2019-12-21, version 6.3.1* Meciuea Owsns ### 5/5 — So love this app *2019-12-10, version 6.3.0* I lo --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
