User Reviews

WJBF NewsChannel 6’s app is praised as a reliable, trusted local news source with strong weather updates and useful alerts, and appreciated for quick access to news and friendly staff. However, users repeatedly report major drawbacks: intrusive ads and overlays that clutter the screen, streaming and app stability problems (starts/stops, dead air, crashes), and a redesigned update that hides sections like CSRA/GA/SC/National news and reduces weather details. Notification overload is also mentioned. Overall, the app delivers quick local coverage but its performance and UI reliability need work.

Pros

Reliable, long-standing local news source with trusted coverage.
Helpful alerts and breaking news notifications.
Strong weather forecasts and timely updates.
Easy quick access to local news and weather.
Polished reporting and friendly staff.

Cons

Excessive ads and intrusive overlays (top banners obstructing the screen, full-screen ads, and ads that jump around).
Streaming quality and app stability problems (starts/stops, dead air, repetitive ads in streaming, crashes).
Design/update changes that hide sections and reduce functionality (only top stories visible; weather details reduced; no 7-day forecast).
Notification overload (too many alerts for every story).

Recent reviews

More than a third of of the screen is obstructed by a useless banner across the top of the screen.

I hate the messages scrooon screen during news. It is distracting and very little new information repeatedly on screen. I also dislike not seeing the ga game. No one gives a hoot about the soap called bachelor. Your programming needs major overhaul. Please switch to a better network
