WAFF48 News

Had to update my review. This trash-tier app crashes 50% of the time when opening a story and waiting on the garbage ads to play. Use another app & news source.

Does not show local news via the app. When the local news station WAFF 48 is not broadcasting live

Fake articles that are really ads! Grandma robbed at Guntersville store!!!!

The app has devolved into a holder of junk ads that won’t close and prevent you from seeing any “news”. Sad state of affairs for a decently liked news station. This app is junk, and I’d be better served standing outside and listening for the goings-on around me than trying to gather the news from WAFF’s app. Do yourself a favor and don’t get the app. If you have it, delete it.

Too many commercials per click.

This app is so bad that it is totally unwatchable. I have to turn it on at 4:30 just to watch the 5:00 news which typically only comes on Monday thru Friday. I spend that 30 minutes trying to get the app to show anything at all and usually get something from Ohio, though a few nights ago I got news from Alaska. Most days it won’t come up at all. And when I do get news there are at least 15 or 20 minutes of commercial, some from Ohio and a few typical ads that display when playing computer games. I finally got the WAAY news app and now I can watch the news 😁

When sports notifications are toggled off in the app, pop ups and alerts regarding highlights and scores of high school football are still received. This has happened multiple times. I have reported my concern through the app and asked for this to be corrected, which has not happened. People are allowed to chose their own notification preferences. You should honor these preferences. Forcing app prescribers to be subject to your notifications, ignoring their preferences, makes prescribers feel you are insensitive to their concerns and requests and may cause subscribers to find other information sources.

This piece of junk app is useless for serious news. You have to close an ad to even get to a news story then you are assaulted by ads every time you so much as touch the screen. It’s worthless for news. Basically unusable. Shame on WAFF for putting this off on the public.

I deleted your app because some stupid developer decided it was ok to allow videos to randomly blurt out when the app is opened. People are sometimes in places where this is unacceptable, like laying in bed next to someone sleeping, in the doctor waiting room etc Moron

It’s really a useless app. They want you to download a separate weather app? And good luck trying to find sports scores. Many news stories are days old and don’t get updated often enough.
