WBRC 6 News

The app hasn’t been updated for six months, so the same issues are still with us. Again, today, I was about to copy and paste several days’ worth of notifications into a note, so I could go back and read all of them. But, again, I had an urgent notification from a different app that took priority. As I clicked _that notification, another one came in, causing the cursor to jump and open one from WBRC. So now—again—except for the in-app notifications that are accessible via the menu—and which only go back about 24 hours—all of the articles I wanted to read—some of which go back nearly a week—are all gone. Yes, I’m glad I can get at least a few of them via the app menu; but, it would be _so _much _better if the notifications for this app worked in the same way as notifications are _supposed to work in iOS; namely, you click on one notification from a given app, and the remaining notifications from that app wait patiently for you to get to them, rather than disappearing, as these do. My previous reviews for this app follow. Today’s update just made the app utterly useless! Now, when I open the app, I get a blank screen! What kind of news coverage is that? I will try reinstalling the app one more time; but, that has not previously solved any of the issues I delineate below. Please note: subsequent reviews go from most recent to earliest. It’s down to 1 star, when was previously 4. My previous review is below. The most recent update literally ruined the app. A few minutes ago, I tried to bring up a notification for a different app;but, another notification came in at the same time, causing the cursor to jump, and it opened a notification from WBRC. As you will see below, the app has had an issue with deleting all notifications in Notification Center from this app. As is often the case, a number of notifications had accumulated, and I would have acted on them soon; but, now they are all gone. A few minutes ago, when the app opened, it asked me to reconfigure my notifications, which I did. For a while, there was an in-app feature called “Inbox”, which would bring up the most recent articles that had been sent as notifications (though this never went back far enough), just in case the unthinkable had happened, and one’s notifications had been deleted. I am no longer finding this feature in the app; and now, at least for VoiceOver users, the entire app has become pretty much inaccessible. The app opens, and all that appears—besides Menu—is a video that most l

I love this app for all the news locally but being half blind the small print is hard to read. Please increase the font or add a feature where the readers can increase the font.

AP articles shared on this “news site” are misleading and written to further the cause of democrat left wing woke Washington politics.

On iOS when you click a notification about a story, it clears the rest of them. Very frustrating to then have to go find the other stories.

I used to be able to watch the news, now I just get commercials when I try to watch live. Same commercials just repeating itself endlessly. After many years, it’s time for me to find a new local news team.

I just hate this app

I love watching this news but this is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. It freezes up and I constantly have to click the play button to restart it. Sometimes it won’t play so I have to back out of the app and restart it. Also a commercial will just play right in the middle of the news. Then they play so long when the news comes back on it looks like it’s already been on and I miss parts of it. I’ve removed and reinstalled the app and tried turning my phone off and back on. Nothing helps so I’m just going to delete this app.

My very favourite TV show is Absolutely Alabama with the masterful Fred Hunter. I grew up with 3 TV channel options until I was 10 years old when Alabama Public Television first aired from Mount Cheaha. I remember going outside next to the chimney and turning our quite tall TV antenna from Birmingham to Cheaha and back again because I simply had to see Tom York and Pat Gray! Thank you so much for these 63 years of service to me.

Get rid of the ads

Today’s update just made the app utterly useless! Now, when I open the app, I get a blank screen! What kind of news coverage is that? I will try reinstalling the app one more time; but, that has not previously solved any of the issues I delineate below. Please note: subsequent reviews go from most recent to earliest. It’s down to 1 star, when was previously 4. My previous review is below. The most recent update literally ruined the app. A few minutes ago, I tried to bring up a notification for a different app;but, another notification came in at the same time, causing the cursor to jump, and it opened a notification from WBRC.

I am no longer finding this feature in the app; and now, at least for VoiceOver users, the entire app has become pretty much inaccessible. The app opens, and all that appears—besides Menu—is a video that most likely is an ad. Pleas scrap the latest update, and return to something that is user friendly and practical. By the way, App Support—at least in this case—is a _joke; there is none. Overall, I really like this app, and always have. However, with the most recent update, it is doing the same thing that the app for another of our local stations (namely, WVTM) is doing. If the same developer handles both, then you will know what I’m talking about. Normally, if multiple notifications have come up in a certain app before one has had time to act on them, only the first one disappears when acted on. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. But now, in both the WVTM and WBRC news apps, if there are multiple notifications awaiting action, _all of them disappear when you act on one! So now, I am forced to copy all of the notifications for each of these apps and paste them into a note; then, I hope that, when I enter Search in the app, the search results for each item match the actual title of the article. Sometimes it works, and sometimes
