## WAFB 9News Reviews in United States

### **--- "App not launching"
Downloaded app and for some reason it won’t open
-- Trina Scott, 2024-12-13

### ****- "Font size"
This app needs a larger font size.
-- LeScience7, 2024-11-05

### **--- "Traffic and alerts"
The traffic alerts won’t load most days. I rarely get any alerts.
-- tatinka27, 2024-08-16

### **--- "Not working."
I haven’t been able to log on in two days. Deleted the app and reinstalled. Still not working.
-- 77petals, 2024-07-21

### *---- "I hate reading a headline in my notifications"
And being taken to the main news page DELETING THIS MESS
-- Jigga225, 2024-07-17

### ***** "Weather App"
Great review of the weather forecast.
-- DogEBrown, 2024-06-14

### *---- "This APP, incl. its writers, needs a tune-up!"
This app is so outdated! The people who write these articles for this app, write them as if ONLY PPL FROM BR AND LIVING IN BR are the only ones READING ABOUT BR! What about ppl who frequent the area and prefer reading news instead of watching it on tv? The information isn’t specific when doing reviews about local businesses and events, very vague ( I mean, wth is the Valley Park area? What street is the restaurant on the that you’re reviewing?) There are ALWAYS GRAMMATICAL ERRORS and misspelled names, as if this isn’t 2024 with an unlimited amount of resources for spellcheck! The information for positive local events ALWAYS pop up on the day of the event, but you’ll have every crime for the past two months FRONT AND CENTER!  There are NEVER any follow ups to stories and the way you close out an article is just very simple and basic. DO BETTER!!!
-- ChocMermaid, 2024-03-01

### **--- "Ads, Ads, & More Ads!"
Not sure why I keep the app around, ads are out of control- both local and standard scammy ads about taking this one simple thing every night to lose 60 pounds in 4 hours, or how to lower your car insurance rates with carriers who are not even offering coverage in Louisiana. App stories are essentially click bait. It’s very sad that I can’t get my news with only local ads like on the TV.
-- Nmullins81, 2024-01-09

### ***-- "Pauses audio when launched"
When launching WAFB9 while playing audio from another app, the audio is paused. This is really annoying, and I avoid using the app when using Bluetooth audio.

No everyone launching this app intends to play a video. Please consider updating the app to only interrupt audio when a video is selected to play. 

This only happens when playing audio through phone speakers or Bluetooth, not airplay.
-- Alexfromdowntown, 2024-01-02

### *---- "Hate the new traffic map"
Deleting the app and going with even! Absolutely hate the new traffic map using Waze! It’s not useful at all!
-- Carolwoo34, 2023-11-27
