Didn’t have this problem until recently, so it’s probably due to an update ### 3/5 — Review *2019-11-05, version 40.34.230049712* Both Byron & Melanie are great, but who hires those yahoos who Cannot tell if they are live, cannot speak clearly & organizes Those on locations feeds. Also 5 minutes of weather are good, Hearing broadcaster talk 9 minutes about weather & miles away counties & communities is boring. Less weather, more Walt Grayson & Real news ### 5/5 — Best Morning in the South *2018-12-17, version 40.29.570036810* Where can you get the best informative morning new in the south Mississippi area is WJTV 12. Where you can’t fail to know what is happening at all time early in the morning for your news, weather and sports it’s WJTV 12. The station where you can never go wrong for your informative day as well as week, its WJTV 12. ### 2/5 — Poor live TV stream *2018-11-14, version 40.29.570036810* Not only is it difficult to find, but once you do find the live TV stream, it will not load. This is unfortunate during severe weather. ### 5/5 — Best of News *2018-09-05, version 40.29.570036810* If you want good dependable, truthful news here it is. You can relye on it to be there for ya.

A super staff ### 4/5 — WJTV *2017-09-05, version 14.24.21* Basically quite good.

Thanks for the update! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I live in no notmississippi *2021-01-02, version 40.35.570057529* Please I can’t remove this. ### 1/5 — Biased reporting *2020-10-16, version 40.35.570057529* Biased reporting/ racial pot stirring ### 1/5 — Videos *2020-09-18, version 40.35.470055380* Can't watch videos on my app how do I fix this ### 1/5 — Website *2020-03-15, version 40.35.220051934* Of all the news outlets I follow on the internet, WJTV is the absolutely the worst. Do away with the map at the top...pictures of some folks...a highway with car... And, please put news stories. These same boring pictures every time I go to the site is BORING. ### 1/5 — App is horrible *2019-04-16, version 40.29.570036810* I can’t see any local news. I can only see national news. What’s the point of having one of the top news apps in my area if it’s only going to show national news and nothing about my area? Please fix this!!! ### 1/5 — The late show *2018-10-24, version 40.29.570036810* Steven Colbert should be canceled. It isn’t even entertainment on his show. After the liars he had on his show. 10-23-2018 ### 1/5 — Bad bad *2016-02-13, version 4.17.580015826* I abosutely despise this app now because of the pop up adds! ### 1/5 — Needs work *2014-12-14, version 4.11.6* I hate seeing ads as soon as I open app. Will be deleting. ### 1/5 — Enough with the alerts *2014-04-08, version 4.9.5* **BREAKING NEWS** Stop with that. It's silly. If it's being texted to my phone, it better be breaking news or I don't need to hear it. If it has to do with traffic, don't preface it with traffic—your readers can use context to figure out traffic. All caps comes off like you're shouting. Refer to CNN or NBC News apps on how to properly do a push notification. Keep doing them, just keep it in the same syntax as a regular English sentence. Overall: the worst of all Mississippi news apps ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2013-03-21, version 4.3.0* The startup ad is bad enough but now you've added pop-ups when a story is clicked. Not to mention your stories are stale and rarely updated in comparison to wlbt's. WJTV is my favorite station on tv for news but your app stinks because of the ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Latest news Updates. *2020-08-06, version 40.35.470055380* I am able to get the latest news updates.
