It looks as if you are trying to make it like Chanel 12/26 which is fine and everyone will get used to it but the weather part needs to be improved. I loved being able to access the 7 day forecast, I haven't been able to do that with the new version. However, it does give you a nice updated look. ### 5/5 — 💗💗💗 *2015-06-04, version 4.11.6* This app is great!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-05-13, version 4.11.6* Love the breaking news alert! ### 5/5 — WJBF News App *2015-04-06, version 4.11.6* I really enjoy getting the live updates. I'm happy I have the app! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2015-03-09, version 4.11.6* Love this app, especially the news tips! ### 5/5 — My "go to"for all things local *2015-01-07, version 4.11.6* Better forecast, relevant news! ### 5/5 — News *2014-11-30, version 4.11.6* Wonderful app. ### 4/5 — WJBF *2014-10-27, version 4.11.6* Enjoy app especially the breaking news tips. However do wish the basic site was updated more frequently! ### 4/5 — WJBF Weather *2014-07-21, version 4.10.0* Great current weather updates ### 2/5 — Alert spamming *2014-06-25, version 4.10.0* Was an ok app as far as local news apps go until today. I don't need notifications for every single story. Murderer on the loose? Ok. Job fair? Not so much. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Distracting App Header *2026-02-19, version 504.0.0* More than a third of of the screen is obstructed by a useless banner across the top of the screen. ### 1/5 — Reasons I don’t watch 6 anymore *2022-01-11, version 41.7.1* I hate the messages scrooon screen during news. It is distracting and very little new information repeatedly on screen. I also dislike not seeing the ga game. No one gives a hoot about the soap called bachelor. Your programming needs major overhaul. Please switch to a better network ### 1/5 — News app *2018-08-16, version 40.30.420039979* Someone from the news center should be stuck in a room and forced to listen in on the streaming - the starts and stops, cuts to dead air in the middle of a story, or worse yet the same commercial repeated back to back 5 times in a row - the streaming app is horrendous. If you are going to advertise streaming, someone needs to take charge of it. ### 1/5 — Disssatisfaction *2018-06-27, version 40.29.630037568* Every time I try to pull up the news app a stupid add pops up on the full screen. Very,very irritating! ### 1/5 — Newest update tons of glitches *2018-03-08, version 14.24.00035517* With the newest update the app is no longer showing anything except the top news stories, local. It’s no longer showing CSRA, Georgia News, SC News, or National News. Needs to be fixed soon. ### 1/5 — App *2014-12-02, version 4.11.6* The app crashes all the time. When you get to see the news the app is ok. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-07-07, version 4.5.3* Keeps saying error loading content. App will not open so it'd basically worthless ### 2/5 — Doesnt Work *2025-05-06* Watch now doesn’t load. If you like watching the wheel of death, have at it. ### 2/5 — No Respect For Users *2024-12-20* How about streaming your “newscast” to app users?! ### 2/5 — Too many Ads *2015-05-09, version 4.11.6* Way too many Ads that jump around on the page as you try to navigate. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super easy *2021-02-01, version 40.35.570056967* Reliable source when you need it. ### 5/5 — So happy you are back! *2021-01-05, version 40.35.570056967* I was furious when my tv provider, Hulu, took your station off the air. I called & complained. I missed you all, especially the new weather forcaster., Tim. I love his thorough & logical forcast. I’m not sure when you first came back, but I tried on Sunday & there you were! I was so excited!! It made me so happy! Welcome back! Betsy Uberti, Aiken, SC. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2020-11-04, version 40.35.570056967* I love news 6 ### 5/5 — Channel 6 has been my stAtion since childhood *2020-05-01, version 40.35.290052907* I prefer Channel Six news and ABC programming and choose it every day (except for a few shows). I also prefer Channel 6’s news team and their programming. I am confident I can rely on them for doing great jobs all!! I’ve been from Trooper Terry to now. That’s 61 years and counting! Most of my favorite tv shows now are on ABC. I ALSO prefer ABC Nightly News next to Judy Woodruff’s PBS News. ### 5/5 — Jenna Kelley *2019-12-03, version 40.34.260050020* Fabulous reporter! I watched the Thanksgiving reporting. Informative and festive. Need to see more of Jenna Kelley. ### 5/5 — GREAT NEWS STATION *2018-12-27, version 40.30.420039979* Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Joan West ### 5/5 — Good local news app *2015-11-17, version 4.14.6* The alerts are helpful. If something is going on in the CSRA, WJBF alert will let you know. ### 5/5 — Augusta's No. 1 News Station *2015-10-18, version 4.14.6* WJBF News Channel 6 is the preeminent news station in the CSRA, and has been for over 60 years. This app is a solid continuation of the great coverage residents have always counted on. A must-have for all Augusta, GA area residents. ### 5/5 — App. *2015-10-10, version 4.14.6* Nice news app. ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-07-03, version 4.11.6* Alerts are Great and Helpful!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
