User Reviews

User reviews largely cite the WBRC 6 News iOS app as plagued by excessive, loud ads and intrusive ad gating that interrupts reading and navigation. Many users report difficult navigation and a clunky new layout, along with notification bugs and reminders that push ads before content. A smaller subset express concerns about perceived bias in reporting. Despite those issues, some users still value headline/breaking news notifications and quick access to current local news when the app works.

Pros

Headline/breaking news notifications are valued by users.
Periodic news alerts are appreciated.
When the app functions, it provides quick access to current local news stories.
Users rely on the app as a source for local WBRC news updates via notifications.

Cons

Ads are excessive, intrusive, and loud, including full-page and autoplay ads with no easy opt-out or mute options.
Navigation and layout are difficult to use; users report trouble finding stories and poor search functionality in the new design.
Notification experience is cluttered by ads and gating, with headlines that require opening the app and multiple ad interactions to dismiss.
Perceived bias in reporting and neutrality concerns about the station's coverage.

Some of the videos, not playing

I’ve been a regular viewer of this local news station for quite some time, and I genuinely enjoy staying informed through your daily broadcasts. However, I’ve recently noticed a shift in the tone and presentation of certain stories that feels more aligned with specific political perspectives. As a viewer, I value balanced, fact-based reporting that allows individuals to form their own opinions. Lately, some segments seem to lean toward promoting particular policies or ideological viewpoints rather than simply presenting the facts. This can make it difficult to distinguish between objective reporting and commentary. Local news plays an important role in the community, and with that comes a responsibility to remain as neutral and unbiased as possible. There are already countless sources of opinion and influence—what many viewers are looking for is straightforward, factual information. I hope to see a return to more neutral, fact-driven reporting moving forward, as I would truly like to continue watching and supporting this station.
