User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise WBRZ for local news and note a recent format update, but repeatedly flag major drawbacks. The most mentioned are pervasive ads that disrupt reading and video playback, unreliable push notifications and misdirected links, and inconsistent live streaming or crashes that affect stability. Additional recurring concerns include slow or failed loading of stories/images and poor writing quality in articles. A minority view highlights solid local coverage and occasional positive updates to the app experience.

Garbage app won’t connect to ROKU, but that’s ok because WAFB’s app does. Buh-bye WBRZ.
