WLBT 3 On Your Side App Reviews

Proof reader. If you are going to mention a person’s name in an article (halfway through) would you please tell us who they are and what their position is. This particular article is about voting at Eudora Welty library and A/C problem. You mention someone halfway through named”Perry”. Tell us who he is! You guys do this frequently. And the words accompanied and accomplished are not interchangeable. Professionalism matters

Awesome News Alerts. I love my app it keeps me posted it all the on the upcoming weather

Articles of breaking news will not download or open. In fact, this rating will not send.

Journalists. Wlbt have some of the finest journalists that report their news with accuracy and with dignity, compassion for their viewers! The people that cares about how they deliver their findings of what’s taken place across the cities, county, and what’s happening overall in our community and country! Maggie Wade, Howard Ballou and Walt Grayson are the best. When it comes to weather we have some of the finest meteorologists! Ted Fortenberry is one cool composed guy!

After update app doesn’t open. After updating the app, the new version will not open on my iPhone 12.

Never updates. It used to be nice and you could flip from story to story. Now you can’t and they never update the stories. I’m reading stuff from this weekend and nothing new, maybe an article or two but last updated story says 12 hours ago. Need to work on staying on top of the game.

Please STOP the ads!. Aside from the grammatical errors contained in the body of a regular portion of the news stories, combined with the BOMBARDMENT of pointless ads, I suppose this is the best we simple Mississippi folks should expect to receive. I truly feel sympathy for the older generation of Mississippians who have to endure these ads, which not only serve them with little interest, but are manufactured to open when the user attempts to close said ad. Can you imagine the growing number of third party of mindless game tabs open on ole grandpa’s phone that we got for him last Christmas? All he wanted to do was look at the local forecast. Instead he’s forced to endure ad after ad of “Candy Stacker 5000”, or whatever other nonsense you allow to advertise on your site. Please do better. This is unacceptable.

What I think about Three on your side. It’s a great place to keep up with the weather any place in your town or area and state anytime of the day or night. If there’s bad weather in the area you can depend on them to stay with you and tell you the truth as to where and when it is so you have time to prepare yourself for the weather. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to watch the weather at any time . Thank you for your best meteorologist you have. Hi Dave and all the new ones.🌹🌹🌹🌹💗💗💗

The latest version is a joke. I despise the latest updated version of this app. The Homepage and News have the same content. The previous app offered easier navigation and more news, I loved it. This app is limited to just local from what I tried to look through. What happened to Entertainment, Strange News even Trending. Apps are supposed to be easy to navigate and find out information, this one isn’t at all. Inevitably I deleted this app because if I can’t find what I’m looking for I don’t need it taking up storage space on my phone.

Review. WLBT is the best station! It is the only one I ever watch. Thank y’all so very much for all your hard work. Bringing us the very best😇

The I 55 Kroger shooting. It is fantastic to hear that there has been an arrest in this shooting being a black man myself I will strongly admit that these young black men are terrorizing our city. They are out of control and something needs to be done to put a stop to this.

Ad failures. Now you have an ad from “Vix.” Something completely in Spanish. It Takes the whole screen and has no way to exit. Anywhere you click takes you to their website. If you can’t afford to keep your website up without crappy ads, let it go. It isn’t like you are keeping it updated anyway.

6.6.5 and 6.6.6 versions. Never had a problem with this app until this the latest versions. Very buggy. Click a notification and the app opens and freezes.

Kisha manning. I like to get updates and information about what’s going on in the world and what’s going on in the weather

Good idea. I enjoy using this app and watching the live weather except for I have to delete and download it EVERYDAY to watch that days newscast or the app will never refresh. If they could fix that it would be great.

Sharing?. Why do you not have a way to share you news stories on Facebook? Quite often, I want to share a breaking story and that isn’t an option I can find anywhere. Help?

Used to like this app before temu. I used this app forever. The temu ads broke me. I will only be using this app from now on until the moment an unstoppable, uncloseable ad from temu pops up, then I’m out.

Not consistently opening. When it opens, I like the app. But very frequently, all that happens is the WLBT3 launch screen is displayed and the icon just turns…..

Notifications appear before story is available. First, a breaking news story notification pops up. It sounds really serious or interesting, something you definitely need to read. You click to read the story, then it either takes you to a different news story or says it’s unavailable. Then guess what? The notification is no longer there, so you have to read thru all the app news stories to find it. Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes for the app to show the story. Why is the app wasting people’s time if we can’t read the story?

News Review. I am very pleased with the new Channel 3 app. I use it several times a day. I really enjoy keeping up dated with the news alerts. Please keep it up. Thanks to 3. S Martin

App won’t open. Why do you need my location to show me the news? It won’t open unless you know exactly where I am? Why is that so important to know and what does it matter where I am?

App is too slow and frequently crashes after new update.. Just as the title says. Ever since the new update, many articles either take way too long to load or don’t load at all.

Useless. App used to be okay, but it no longer opens to the article you select. When you get an article notification and click on it, it opens to the app but not the article. Pretty useless. Last couple of updates haven’t fixed, so I’m deleting.

Peyton Garrison SHOES. We need to start a go fund the poor girl been wearing the same gray shoes for over two years everyday except one day she those horrible black boots. cold

App Won’t Open. I updated to the new version now the app will not open.

Updated app won’t open. Updated app won’t open. Guess I’ll delete and switch to another local news station.

Investing. The #1 Investigations program in Mississippi. Now, did Tate Reeves remove the Lawyer from the Welfare Scandal ? And why want the State Auditor indict Phil Bryant.

Fast news. Updated regularly with more facts less opinion than even major news channels

WLBT Review. I give WLBT 5 ⭐️s they get to the point right away. And what ever they don’t know or question they investigate. The reporters and Anchors make me feel like I’ve known them forever. ❤️❤️me some WLBT❤️❤️

No sound. WLBT had been my go-to app until a few weeks ago. Now, there is absolutely no sound for the articles or the live broadcasts. There isn’t a sound issue with any other app I use, so what’s the problem with this one? Yes, it has the latest update.

App review. This app is a perfect example of ruining an easy to navigate and read app. It’s disconcerting to have to figure out what is news and what is an ad. Someone was more interested in graphic design than the readers. I have almost stopped using WLBT for my local news.

App update. What’s wrong with the app update it won’t open since the update. Never had this problem before. Very frustrating!!!!

Delete this app.. Negative stars should be an option. The app will only work now if you let them track you. Deleting Now.

Ads. I only use WLBT’s app for local news. I don’t normally mind the ads except for when they have sound. I usually look at the news at night while in bed. It is annoying when it wakes up my spouse. Please remove the sound. I know I can always mute it.

Use to your app was great. Now when things pop up on screen. You can’t find the story anywhere. Also when you click on a store there is a little blurb about the story you want to read but more about other stories. Sometimes change is not better

Updated app. This new version is absolutely horrible! In the article y’all ask if we want to get updated news, we’ll I’ve updated the app and it’s way worse than the previous version. You constantly get alerts on various breaking news stories but they never appear on the app. Today is Thursday and on my app I’m still showing Tropical Storm Gordon as my top story. Can y’all please get the app updated as advertised or I will be forced to get my news elsewhere. Thank you.

News Now. I enjoy getting my news when I need it, anytime anywhere.

Old app better. I personally do not like the new updated news app. The old app was not as confusing and you had more news options to chose from ex: Entertainment and Strange news. I am having to go to another local news app just to get the news I use to could get on this app.

New version is horrible. The newest version of this app is horrible. I do not know how this design was allowed to make it out, but it is not user friendly in any way. Everything is unresponsive in it. Want to read a story? Forget it, nothing happens when you try to. Furthermore, you just had a redesign not too long ago, why are we having yet another one? My advice, stay away from this version of the app. It is useless as it is now. It only serves to eat up space on your device.

Good station, terrible app. I enjoy WLBT & the reporters, journalist, etc.. that are involved with the this news station. However this app stinks. It barely functions. Anytime you try to watch a video and turn your phone to maximize the picture on your screen, the video stops & the app freezes. This has happened for years, across two different phones. This non-functioning video issue occurs on the newest iPhone 11 Pro. So, it’s not the phone. Another issue I have is with the glaring volume difference between the, UNAVOIDABLE & blaring ADVERTISEMENTS that this app bombards the user with & the usually low volume of the actual news video the user wanted to see. Please fix these issues!!!

WLBT 3 news. WLBT a wonderful station to watch anywhere anytime Channel 3 been apart of my family for a decades enjoying the news yet miss Paul Williams but they are my favorite stations too keep me update from local ,weather, and sports updates

Great app. Brings the news straight to you. Makes you aware of things going on right then. Stay on top WLBT..

Outdated news. News articles are outdated. When a new notification pops up on my phone, it takes me to the outdated article (example-Coronavirus updates keep showing the first article published). I end up going to a different news source to find current news. AND, I can’t post this because it requires a “nickname”, but every nickname I type in is “taken”🧐 Frustrated Ridiculous SC Sherry All nicknames are taken Joke Peanut butter

If it isnt broke, dont fix it!. It seems that just as soon as someone gets an app that works perfectly in every way, someone somewhere sitting around a board room meeting table decides that since its too perfect to be improved, they will just start from scratch and mess it all up again. Did you give these guys a monthly technology budget just to sit around and think of ways to make things worse? So heres what you are going to need to do: either 1 - delete the technology budget so that there wont be a team to pay that wants to just screw things up and make everything more complicated. Or 2 - fire the team now, bring in some new people to replace the app and get it back to like it was. Because at this point, you are losing veiwers and followers because of this app’s jibberish. So, like, fix it. Please dear god fix it.

Local News. Wonderful source of current events.

Weather Team is Awesome!. I want to thank each member of the weather team for the continued and up to date coverage of all the bad weather!! Shame on anyone that would make light of their dedication and excellent weather coverage! I feel sure their broadcast possibly saved someone’s life! Can you say that about the stupid sitcom you may be missing!

Liberal based network. Keep your liberal opinions to your self. Give us the weather and the actual news, after that just keep your mouth shut we don’t need or want an opinion section.

Latest update. The latest update is a joke. All you get when you open app is a bunch of pictures no info on what pics are about. Guess you make up your own story to go with pics

App Update. Just updated the WLBT App and now it doesn’t work at all! Anyone else having that issue on i-Phone?

JS Houston. I’ve watched WLBT for 60 + years but no more. The firing of Barbie Bassett was more than enough to motivate me to boycott you guys. In a word : disgraceful. I doubt you’ll find any white person woke enough to suit you’re agenda if this lady could not.

Could be a good app, but.... The app continuously crashes. I can only read one news story at most before it shuts down. The old app works so much better. It looks nice and it's easy to use, which is why I rated it two stars. But being easy to use doesn't matter if you can't use it at all. The new version is the same. I'm a huge fan of WLBT, and the weather app is first rate: but I'm going to have to delete this app and go with WAPT for news.

Terrible. This app is terrible now after the new update

Bias news reports. Too many reports are one sided with strong liberal opinions

Good App. Informative, but found frequent grammatical errors (not so much recently).

Awesome app wish there was a paid version. This app is really awesome. Ease of use is great and good for me while out of town to keep up with the local news. Wish there was a paid version for 2.99 or so that took the ads off of it... the pop ups can get a little annoying almost every time you switch tabs i.e. Weather to news or etc.

Hate it. Hate it. The last app was 10x better

App support. App will not open. App support will not open. Have deleted and reinstalled several times. What’s up?

Fix this app and your station.. HATE the new update. Station is to left leaning. Tell the news don’t tell me your opinion.

Force Close. App keeps force closing

Doesn’t work. App doesn’t work

Update does not open up. Installed new update today. Does not work.

Terrible App. App crashes and freezes when trying to watch videos. Never updates over the weekend. Tighten up WLBT.

S Pace. Does great! Thanks!

Mrs Walker. Good news and weather coverage. I have been watching for about 35years.

Insanely complicated. All I want to do is watch the national news and it’s impossible to get in!

Pathetic. Deleting the app- I am so sick of liberal propaganda.

On time on target reporting!. I depend on this site to keep me updated on what’s happening now!

Please follow up. Many times follow up stories are not published. Especially when it pertains to homeless citizens being injured or killed!

Review. I do not like the new format. Either revamp the new one or go back to the old one......

HORRIBLE SINCE NEW VERSION!!. Doesn't work half the time since the new update. Every other time you try to open it will freeze and go back to main screen. Will delete app if not fixed immediately. Also it seems that WLBT doesn't cover as many things going on as they used to. Only 3 or 4 main stories per broadcast/web posting. This station was once the best you could get in order to find out what's going on around you. Now....very little information to be kept informed.

Wdelta. This new updated version is awful. It is slow to load and crashes a lot. The old version was fine but this one is terrible, why fix something that isn't broke. I just don't understand why they do this because this is why I had got this app because channel 16 app got updated and was awful too so I switched to this one now going to try a find another Mississippi news app that hopefully will stay connected and will not "downdate" their app! (So in other words there is a reason the word "up" is in update so make sure to go up and not down when changing your apps!)

Update?. App keeps crashing!!! 😡😡

Election results. There is no reporting of rankin county results

VW Franklin County. I love it very much!

Interesting & accurate. Title says it all.

Many ads. This app has more ads than information. It looks good but the ads over run any usefulness.

Much to pro democrats. All your news is far left leaning

WLBT does a poor job on updating articles. WLBT needs someone to update their news articles and yes, on weekends too. Countless times it is noted they will update as more information is available. Most of the time that information won't come because they don't intend to update information because there is not anybody aggressive enough to gather information and update. Occasionally some stories are but not many. Hire some more employees WLBT. You've gone down the tubes since Stephanie Bell Flint and Barbie Bassett are no longer there to kick in! Get you a calendar and pencil to note follow up.

WLBT App is on my side!. I love having the most current news and information at my finger tips! The breaking news alerts keep me up to date on all the latest happenings in and around Jackson. I have my news and weather with me at all times!

Bad reviews are older versions I guess.. Just had another update. Really enjoy the fast posting weather videos when i cant catch it on tv. Im enjoying it. Please keep weather videos up to date.

Poor Alerts. Once you receive the "Breaking News" alerts (notifications) and click into it their is no story. Stop sending the alerts if the story isn't published. Once the story is ready for public view send the alerts. Thanks!

Notifications. I can never get the notifications in the app. Whet them on my phone but never in the app.

Total Biased. No coverage of Mississippi State opening game. Terrible

Fake news. A great source for fake news!

Alerts not ready. My only complaint is the breaking news not being there when I get a notification. It takes a while or when an updated alert links to the older version of the story. However, this station usually gets news first so that’s a plus.

Bad Update. Latest update causes app not to open. Am deleting and not coming back. Will look for a better news app.

Governor. Please shut our state down to stop this spread before it puts our hospital an health care workers in a bind !! Get it done!! No one is taking this seriously!! Worried for our state!!!

Great App. I love this app. Thanks WLBT.

Poorly executed. Not sure how they did it, but they managed to take a generally functional app and make it useless.

Update crashes. Just had an update notice come up when I opened the app so I told it to go ahead and update, now the WLBT start screen comes up for about one second then closes. Bad update.

Was once a good app. The app has become ad driven, just like the commercial tv station. The news is slow to post if it even makes it to the list. Major national news isn't listed on top stories as it should be. Besides the full screen splash ad on initial loading, I've even had ads take full screen when I want to load an article. Not what I care to see when I want to read the news that is posted. Then to top it off, this last update brought ads into the middle of the articles. Should be renamed MSAdsNow.

Ads in Spanish???. Strange that WLBT gives news in English and all of the clickbait is in Spanish. Lol.

Review. I really like this app

Barbie!!. This is terrible and as a result, YOU lost a household of viewers!! She was the reason we watched this station!!

Error messages like crazy. This is the best app for local Jackson news hands down but there is something wrong with it that drives me nuts. For whatever reason an error message pops up the says "update error, couldn't retrieve from the network". This happens whether I'm on wifi or the network and it pops up every 20 seconds. Really annoying.

Force close. After updating.. it WILL NOT open!

Speedy News. I like the way WLBT reports the news. Dr. U17!

Old app was better. I like the old app better

WLBT nuisance ads. I have enjoyed this app fo years BUT now ads that take over the entire screen as well as full volume have begun popping up. It has become such a nuisance that I deleted the app.

Not Up-to-Date News!. This app used to be good. Now it's not updated frequently enough. I've received three alerts since yesterday afternoon, but when I go to the app to read the stories they're not there, even though it says it's up to date. In fact, there are no current (today's) stories! Please fix it!
