This notification will NOT GO AWAY. Even after deleting the app and reinstalling it, this situation still remains! What else can I do? And yes, there are no unread messages and that’s why I’m still baffled! ### 3/5 — Notification Icon Issue *2026-03-21* Ever since I updated the Wlbt app, it shows a red notification at the top right corner. This notification will NOT GO AWAY. Even after deleting the app and reinstalling it, this situation still remains! What else can I do? And yes, there are no unread messages and that’s why I’m still baffled! ### 3/5 — Adds *2026-03-15, version 8.0.2* I don’t like the add that pops up from page to page ### 3/5 — Annoying features *2025-12-03* If there are multiple notifications on the screen about news stories, and one is clicked, it will take you to the story. But it also removes all the other notifications and sometimes it is impossible to find the story related to those notifications. Also, some ads are not starting with audio and video, and I’m often in quiet environments where the audio is very disturbing. This may be the issue that causes me to delete the app. ### 2/5 — Half works *2025-03-26, version 7.0.19* This app worked wonderfully at 5, 6 am 12 even 10pm. On the weekends can’t get any news except the Local News Now. Since Monday morning with the unexpected rain per the app has been working. Hold and behold Local News Now at 6am. I’m sitting here and here it is 10:18pm CDT and a blank screen will be deleting WAPT IS WORKING JUST FINE ### 2/5 — Used to like this app before temu *2024-02-16, version 7.0.16* I used this app forever. The temu ads broke me. I will only be using this app from now on until the moment an unstoppable, uncloseable ad from temu pops up, then I’m out. ### 1/5 — Barbie!! *2023-03-24, version 7.0.7* This is terrible and as a result, YOU lost a household of viewers!! She was the reason we watched this station!! ### 1/5 — Total Biased *2023-02-18, version 7.0.5* No coverage of Mississippi State opening game. Terrible ### 3/5 — Peyton Garrison SHOES *2023-01-30, version 7.0.3* We need to start a go fund the poor girl been wearing the same gray shoes for over two years everyday except one day she those horrible black boots. cold ### 1/5 — Articles of breaking news will not download or open *2023-01-09, version 7.0.1* In fact, this rating will not send. ### 1/5 — Latest update *2022-12-14, version 7.0.0* The latest update is a joke. All you get when you open app is a bunch of pictures no info on what pics are about. Guess you make up your own story to go with pics ### 2/5 — Ad failures *2022-11-20* Now you have an ad from “Vix.” Something completely in Spanish. It Takes the whole screen and has no way to exit. Anywhere you click takes you to their website. If you can’t afford to keep your website up without crappy ads, let it go. It isn’t like you are keeping it updated anyway. ### 1/5 — Ads in Spanish??? *2022-11-09, version 6.7.12* Strange that WLBT gives news in English and all of the clickbait is in Spanish. Lol. ### 1/5 — Notifications *2022-08-03, version 6.7.12* I can never get the notifications in the app. Whet them on my phone but never in the app. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2022-07-22, version 6.7.12* Why do you need my location to show me the news? It won’t open unless you know exactly where I am? Why is that so important to know and what does it matter where I am? ### 1/5 — App support *2022-07-10, version 6.7.11* App will not open. App support will not open. Have deleted and reinstalled several times. What’s up? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2026-03-19, version 8.0.2* This app NEVER works properly. Now they redesigned it and made it worse. Fix it so we can copy links to share stories, click on photos to make them bigger, and perform other basic functions, please! ### 1/5 — Too noisy *2026-03-08, version 8.0.1* Too noisy every time a news break shows up. Icon shows a one like there is a new report but can’t get it to go away ### 1/5 — Not a good update! *2026-03-06, version 8.0.1* I cannot make the notification go away on the app icon. I have clicked everything and it’s still there. I have no idea what the notification is about. Just clicked app support on this page and it takes you to MS News Now with an option to Buy This Domain. Please stop fixing things that aren’t broken. ### 1/5 — Fake news *2026-01-10, version 7.0.19* This app has so many adds you cant tell adds from news. Pop ups are not allowing me to read stories. ### 1/5 — Ads you can’t close *2025-09-10, version 7.0.19* Every time I use the app, there are ads (mostly for games) you can’t close. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Good idea *2024-07-03, version 7.0.17* I enjoy using this app and watching the live weather except for I have to delete and download it EVERYDAY to watch that days newscast or the app will never refresh. If they could fix that it would be great. ### 1/5 — Liberal based network *2024-01-16, version 7.0.16* Keep your liberal opinions to your self. Give us the weather and the actual news, after that just keep your mouth shut we don’t need or want an opinion section. ### 1/5 — Election results *2023-11-08, version 7.0.14* There is no reporting of rankin county results ### 1/5 — Insanely complicated *2023-08-14, version 7.0.11* All I want to do is watch the national news and it’s impossible to get in! ### 1/5 — JS Houston *2023-03-26, version 7.0.7* I’ve watched WLBT for 60 + years but no more. The firing of Barbie Bassett was more than enough to motivate me to boycott you guys. In a word : disgraceful. I doubt you’ll find any white person woke enough to suit you’re agenda if this lady could not. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What I think about Three on your side *2024-02-09* It’s a great place to keep up with the weather any place in your town or area and state anytime of the day or night. If there’s bad weather in the area you can depend on them to stay with you and tell you the truth as to where and when it is so you have time to prepare yourself for the weather. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to watch the weather at any time . Thank you for your best meteorologist you have. Hi Dave and all the new ones.🌹🌹🌹🌹💗💗💗 ### 5/5 — Ads *2023-12-30* I only use WLBT’s app for local news. I don’t normally mind the ads except for when they have sound. I usually look at the news at night while in bed. It is annoying when it wakes up my spouse. Please remove the sound. I know I can always mute it. ### 5/5 — Investing *2023-05-10, version 7.0.9* The #1 Investigations program in Mississippi. Now, did Tate Reeves remove the Lawyer from the Welfare Scandal ? And why want the State Auditor indict Phil Bryant. ### 5/5 — The I 55 Kroger shooting *2022-12-20* It is fantastic to hear that there has been an arrest in this shooting being a black man myself I will strongly admit that these young black men are terrorizing our city. They are out of control and something needs to be done to put a stop to this. ### 5/5 — Weather Team is Awesome! *2022-04-14* I want to thank each member of the weather team for the continued and up to date coverage of all the bad weather!! Shame on anyone that would make light of their dedication and excellent weather coverage! I feel sure their broadcast possibly saved someone’s life! Can you say that about the stupid sitcom you may be missing! ### 5/5 — After update app doesn’t open *2021-08-09* After updating the app, the new version will not open on my iPhone 12. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2020-03-23, version 6.6.1* Ve ### 5/5 — Fast news *2019-12-22* Updated regularly with more facts less opinion than even major news channels ### 5/5 — Interesting & accurate *2019-11-12, version 6.3.0* Title says it all. ### 5/5 — Local News *2019-11-04, version 6.3.0* Wonderful source of current events. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
