when it comes to wmbf news there are no other news apps to trust for me they are always accurate about what they tell you rather it's about news or weather. When they report something that is wrong they always come back and correct it for myself if they called me and told me not to go outside on a particular day cause I would get hit by a car I wouldn't go outside that's how much I trust them to tell the truth about what's going on. I love these guys 100%

Raycom media should fire the entire app development team and clean house. There are so many issues with the programmers for this app it's crazy. How can an employer go year to year allowing such shotty work with every single app update....
