## Review summary

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).
