Review. The news is rarely updated over the weekend and onTues you will still find Friday’s news articles. With the new update you see even less news than before. When watching Channel 48 the Broadcaster will tell you to go to the app for a link to something and the link is not there.

Horrible app. Worst app ever. This new update has the news totally useless. This one is more about advertising than news. It doesn’t update very well to current news. Go back to the old version please. Why attempt to fix something that’s not broke.

Too Complicated. Sometimes when I bring up the app and the banner page comes up that’s all i get. I have to force your app to end and restart it. When then it takes about 15-20 seconds before your app completely loads. It is a terrible app.

Sports are not breaking news.. I set the app to only notify my for breaking news. Sports announcements are not breaking news. I tried to repot the issue, however each time I try the app crashes. I will not longer be using the 48 app or be watching their channel. WHNT 19 doesn’t have this problem. They are way better.

To much advertising.. Your last update was terrible. Way to much advertising. Can not find the news. It’s advertising overload. If it isn’t fixed soon I plan to delete you news app off my I-phone. Have a good day

Latest update. Completely dislike the newest update/design. So much advertisement and the same article is posted over and over on the same page. I wish the old one would come back

Ad-infested junk. The app has devolved into a holder of junk ads that won’t close and prevent you from seeing any “news”. Sad state of affairs for a decently liked news station. This app is junk, and I’d be better served standing outside and listening for the goings-on around me than trying to gather the news from WAFF’s app. Do yourself a favor and don’t get the app. If you have it, delete it.

Nice app but.... The ads is annoying for a news app the moment I was in the middle of looking at severe weather and a video pops up. Please take away the ads ...

App Pop-ups and Alerts. When sports notifications are toggled off in the app, pop ups and alerts regarding highlights and scores of high school football are still received. This has happened multiple times. I have reported my concern through the app and asked for this to be corrected, which has not happened. People are allowed to chose their own notification preferences. You should honor these preferences. Forcing app prescribers to be subject to your notifications, ignoring their preferences, makes prescribers feel you are insensitive to their concerns and requests and may cause subscribers to find other information sources.

No weather. No sports scores. Late news updates.. It’s really a useless app. They want you to download a separate weather app? And good luck trying to find sports scores. Many news stories are days old and don’t get updated often enough.

Great news source. Convenient and always up to date on local news!

Not a Fan of the Updated App. I am not a fan of the updated app. When you click on a notification, instead of opening the article referenced by the notification, it sends you to the Home Screen and you have to hunt for the article yourself.

Unwatchable. This app is so bad that it is totally unwatchable. I have to turn it on at 4:30 just to watch the 5:00 news which typically only comes on Monday thru Friday. I spend that 30 minutes trying to get the app to show anything at all and usually get something from Ohio, though a few nights ago I got news from Alaska. Most days it won’t come up at all. And when I do get news there are at least 15 or 20 minutes of commercial, some from Ohio and a few typical ads that display when playing computer games. I finally got the WAAY news app and now I can watch the news 😁

Review. Does not show local news via the app. When the local news station WAFF 48 is not broadcasting live

Why did you all change your app. I do not like the new setup of the WAFF48 App. I miss the old app.

Random videos. I deleted your app because some stupid developer decided it was ok to allow videos to randomly blurt out when the app is opened. People are sometimes in places where this is unacceptable, like laying in bed next to someone sleeping, in the doctor waiting room etc Moron

To many big pictures, less news.. As the title says the big pictures consume the viewing space. Far fewer news stories. One must not go to several tabs to get a regional news up date. This may be peculiar to my device, but once the initial opening image is viewed and one scrolls Dow, it is just a repeat of the original image,...with more pictures.

No Option To Cast Live Stream. I mainly wanted to watch the live stream during severe weather when my satellite is out. Oh well it would probably be too late by the time I got through the ads anyway.

New App. This new App is too busy and a lot of navigation is required. The ads overwhelm the news that I am trying to see. I realize that a upgrade may have been needed but you may have lost people like me who read your news 3 or 4 times a day. Thanks

Noisy ads in foreign languages. They’ve made me start having to watch loud ads that seem to be in Japanese, making it especially hard to figure out how to get out of them. I’m mostly giving up on this app as a result. The other news stations don’t bombard me with useless ads that I don’t even understand. I just want the news, period.

Very helpful. I enjoy the news alerts. Good job 48 News Team Guntersville

Useless clickbait. This piece of junk app is useless for serious news. You have to close an ad to even get to a news story then you are assaulted by ads every time you so much as touch the screen. It’s worthless for news. Basically unusable. Shame on WAFF for putting this off on the public.

New Format. I like the prior format better than the recent change. Too much non-news and have to scroll too much to choose news stories you want to read. Would prefer a couple of pages listing all news stories. 15 second ads before news videos usually means that I go to another news source for stories. You do a good job updating and giving up-to-date news it’s just too hard to see an overview of all the news.

Mostly junk. Maybe three actual news stories sprinkled in between fake news ads trying to get your click. Sadly this is the state of ALL American local news apps trying to squeeze every penny they can from ads. Stick with the broadcast to get news or just use the weather app.

Trouble since last update. Normally I love this app, but since the last update I can not open it on my iPad. It starts to open and then closes. Been that way for two days.

New App Stinks. This new version of your News App stinks. It locks up all time while I am trying to open it and I have to get out of the App (sometimes by restarting my phone) then go back in. It also has some kind of counter that puts numbers above the icon that I have no clue what they mean or how to get rid of them. Also all the crazy advertisements you have buried in the news that look somewhat like a news story headline stink. You use to have the best news app out there but now it is the worst.

Do Not Like New Layout. The new layout is too jumbled up and hard to navigate. This use to be my favorite local news app, but not anymore.

You can help their family to me in there are kind want to 48. I love 48 Your arm great team and we gotten good business to me I feel like 48 is their state of grandma will get paid on this team I know I’ve been there I am paying 48 what is their ETA view me all about Special Olympics your kind wonderful hard worker

Number. The app shows a number Luke a notification of something but nothing inside, just disappears when app is opened. Make it go away or I’m deleting this app.

App format is not good. The older version of this app was much much better. Way too much advertising now. This new format tends to blend in all the news stories in a “center” reading along with ad boxes and pop ups in the middle and bottom of the screen while scrolling the news. Not happy with this update at all. The prior version was a lot better. Word of advice WAFF: sometimes less is more.

Used to like it until new update. Old version of the app was so much easier to use and user friendly now I can barely use the app.

Unbiased reporting. Americans have a great need to hear the news reported WITHOUT bias. Due to Hillary Clintons ‘despicable’ labeling of the Republican party as “Deplorable's” the “main stream” news reporters seem to agree with her. This is wrong on so many levels. “We the people” have the need, if not the right, to hear the truth reported and are smart enough to make our own decisions about what is right or wrong. This is true of both parties. Obama said that the American people were not smart enough to govern themselves. If the power to govern is put into the hands of the few on Capital Hill, our freedoms (yes yours too) will eventually disappear and a big part of the blame can be put on the shoulders of main stream media. Why? Because too many of the public do not have the knowledge to research for themselves to get the complete story, this doesn’t mean they are ignorant, just educated in other areas. Also much of the blame for so much hate in our country can be laid at your feet also because of so much one sided reporting and their obvious hate for former President Trump. The reporters in New York have the largest part of this blame but it goes down to the local level to some extent also.

WAFF is great, app doesn’t follow suit. WAFF is my go-to for news. The app is ridiculous. I can’t watch the videos attached to the news story without watching a commercial (understable). The commercial plays, I cannot make it full screen while it plays, then the news video comes on and any time I try to watch in full screen, the app crashes. To reopen and attempt to watch I have to watch yet ANOTHER commercial to get back to where I was originally. Can’t have a great news station with great news stories with a lacking app.

Flu. Could you please stop showing a needle going into someone's arm.... we all know what an injection is.... I think it turns people off, instead of encouraging them to get vaccinated....

48 News Review. Great news source! Accurate and detailed and dependable!

The Best. I love 48 news. They are always on top of things here in the valley. Thanks 48 News Crew!!!!

I do not love me the new format. This app is more complex and busy to look at since last update. Simple visuals are always better.

Review. You had very good app until last update, now it horrible, same news in to many places has no end just scrolls over and over. I will be deleting this app very soon and use someone else's if not restored to the way it was.

My favorite new app. My favorite news app until they updated it and now it want even open. I can’t open it all

Problem. The update 2 days ago has caused the app to not work. It won’t load. It only shows a plumbing ad and then stays on the WAFF logo page. Please fix this. I have enjoyed your app for a long time.

48 news review. All over best in news (local and national), community events and weather! Your team is tops in my book! I are primarily tuned in in the mornings beginning with the 4:30 news cast. It is so refreshing to begin the day with a smile thanks to that crew! Professionalism is exhibited, yet the relaxed display and often bit of humor, simply starts my day with that smile! Keep in keeping on!!! Thanks for allowing me to express my opinion and appreciation!

Latest Update Makes App Unusable. The only thing that loads when you open the App now is the ads. Have to close and reopen every time, not worth the effort. Same problem with their new weather app update. Was best local Huntsville news app now I don’t even try to use it.

iPhone widget. I would pay to be able to have a WAFF Weather widget!

Problem after update AND the so called fix.. App still will not open even after a so called fix for the Home Screen. App will not open on phone or iPad after automatic update. I had no issues with the previous version. All I get with this update is the 48 logo screen. So frustrating. I cannot recommend this app unless they fix the issues.

Goodbye to 48 app. I agree with other reviewer concerning latest update. Way too much advertising and sports section is horrible. Same sports articles become stale when left on site for weeks. Surely the sports world is a tad more active! I will delete also.

New format. Use to use your app all the time but now less with your new format seems you are going backwards in utility and ability to quickly see the pertinent stories

Harvest. Love the site but latest update messed up the app. Can’t get past hitting the app and crashing. Hope you can fix it soon!

Too many pop-up ads. This is ridiculous. I mean, how many pop-up ads can they cram in? It’s a NEWS app...not a game spam app. WAFF already had horrible writing and tons of errors in their writing. Now you can’t look at 2 news stories without a pop-up add for some janky game no one wants, and they don’t let you skip them without getting redirected to the App Store first. Wish I had a better way to report this and get the app taken off the store. Don’t waste your time on this. I’d rate it -1 star if I could.

NFL football game September 10. To whomever this may concern I know I’m not on the right page that you guys sure don’t seem to make it easy for someone to leave a rebottle y’all had the NFL football game yesterday and it just y’all hate it when will of fortune should’ve been on I really enjoyed that show and I don’t care anything about the football are used to watch football until all these overpaid self righteous players Neal instead of standing up and putting their hand over their heart and being respectful I think that these players are making so much money they don’t care they should have to go to years in the military before they ever get to play football and I just have no respect for him an hour and never watch the game again so please put it on at another time

Updates Need Fixing. Updates 6.6.6, 6.6.7 and 6.6.8 have, in my opinion, been a mess. The screen icon now tells me I have 22 notifications, but upon opening the app there is no way I can find to clear them. And while organizing stories by geographical location is a cute idea, in my opinion it makes getting an overview of the news difficult. Last, navigating in and out of the story tiles is more difficult than needed.

Old one was better. I must say I do not like how I was notified of the new app, by them telling you in the old one. I highly dislike the organization method in this new one. Everything feels jumbled and unpersonalized. You are unable to truly view local news because even in the metro section other city's articles are thrown in. There is no longer an option to view other options such as the movie and horoscope feature. I do like how ever how fast they resolved the crashing problem. Final note this app will be used far less than its precursor.

New Ch-48 App. New Ch-48 app is slow and sometimes won’t open. Layout is not user friendly. Bring back the old app or bye Ch-48.

Not working. App not operating since last update

Fake and misleading. Fake articles that are really ads! Grandma robbed at Guntersville store!!!!

Old app was 10 times better!. Slow to open or just doesn’t open.

Starting to get annoying. There are way to many ads that pop up at the weirdest times. I understand having one here and there but it’s annoying. The news takes a while to update. I’m still showing stories from mid February in some of the sections. I’m sure more has happen since then.

App. Hate the new app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REPORT CA🎲RD👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼A+. AWESOME & informative coverage!

Like the update, have one suggestion. I love scrolling through the news articles and the ease of choosing news categories! Next time you update, please consider a way to let users see their local area news. I live on Sand Mountain and miss having the option to see what's happening here. Searching "Sand Mountain" didn't give what I was looking for but typing in individual cities did. I don't have time to do that. Overall, though, I love what you've done.

Former Attorney from Albertville. Someone knew what this predator was doing. WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR HIM TO BE CAUGHT???? May God please protect our children.

Help. My 48 news app keeps freezing up!!! Help

Marty. Love waff48 news & weather is the best ‼️

New 48 web site. Cannot stand the changes made to this website. It doesn’t appear to be updated with any frequency. The format is lackluster at best. Try again 48. This is not working.

Excellent.. Always up to date

Horrible new format. The updated format is horrible, stories repeated, whole screen taken up by app ads.

No title. Give the weather two minutes maximum time. Unless there is a overwhelming weather situation, two minutes is more than enough.

Maybe it just me...... .....and my iPad, but this version doesn’t seem to work with my device. Give me the “old” version.

Update April 2021 does not work. Since installing this new version the app won’t even open. Please work on this.

WAFF. Not a good app The old one was better

Awful Update. There was nothing wrong with the previous version. It now looks junky and is hard to navigate.

Dp. Updated to new app and it will not open. Help

New layout. Don’t like the new layout. Too much tapping to find what I’m looking for

Weary and ready to erase this!. For days I have noticed difficulty accessing news. The link ‘update the app’ pops up so I updated the app. No difference. 75% of what I see is “UPDATE THE APP”. The news reports are buried in ads. I don’t need this.

Small text. Would be great if font size was adjustable.

Levi Harvey. Mr. Harvey is a wonderful news casters. I love watching him he is just great!!!

Not as user friendly. The app was much more user friendly before the update in my opinion.

Frustrating. Try to read a teaser and it goes to an unrelated story. I can’t find the BP med story.

Avoid new update. Newest update is causing app to crash. Avoid new update until issue gets resolved.

Hard to navigate. This update is not good, not at all. Articles are duplicated and you must scroll without any type of overview of articles.

Latest update crashes. Last update made app useless. Will not load on iPhone or iPad.

Deleted for now. The app is so big, it will not open!

Too many advertisements. Especially pop ups and banners!

Repetitive full screen ad = bad. There is one repetitive full screen ad that appears constantly. Stop a leak in a creek. Really annoying. Especially when there's something crazy going on in the news or weather and it delays you from getting the information you need. Stop full screen ads. Let us use the app first thing when we open it. Use other banner style ads that don't keep you from reading the news.

WAFF 48. Why is it that all of the other local stations continue to be able to be visualized during thunderstorms except WAFF? It seems your Doppler & keeping your app is more important?

WAFF 48 news. Oh yes I love WAFF 48 news and weather and sports nutrition news thing love it good luck

What Have Y'all Done?!. This version is horrible, both on my iPhone and my iPad. It used to be my favorite local news app, but no longer is that the case. I can't even see the main stories on my iPad. The page is not within my screen. On my iPhone, the stories won't update. Please go back to the old version? Update: This app is very frustrating with the pauses caused by the ads. I read all of my other news apps before this one. It is last on my news info reading list.

Needs a hotfix. This is just an ad simulator with the news in between. Constant crashes since last update. Do not suggest.

WAFF 48. With latest update, takes forever to load. Then have to get past ads, and several clicks to get to any news.

Update stinks. Since updating this app and channel 6 in Birmingham they neither one will open

Poor reporting. “News” pieces that seem more opinion than fact based seeming to lack in hard backed up proof of statements? Please try harder.

Nessia. Perfect!!

Update is struggling to work. Update is terrible to much on one page overlaps with boxes and words adds out the wazoo. Disconnecting

Did anybody test this update?. It will not open you click on it and it shuts down

New update. App doesn’t work anymore since the new update .

New update. New interface is terrible

Terrible. Reports have multiple misspelled words, grammatical mistakes and poor editing or repeated paragraphs in updates. Horrible journalism.

WAFF. Great news, weather, etc., but only heinous church commercials. May as well be CBN.

Great. Great

Commercials. Too many commercials per click.

Wont open since update. Recently updated now it won’t open
