WMBF Breaking News & Weather

The new app is not as easy to use. There no easily available way to forward or share an article from the app. Ads play automatically which is annoying of you are trying to quietly read.

If you love getting news for your non local area and weather prediction that are just guesses then this is the station for you. Not to mention you can’t view the weather truly from this application, the make you download another. Oh and if you think you will be able to view the “breaking news” quickly you will not, you’ll be bombarded by advertisements before you can even view anything (and in an county were signal can be weak and spotty , waiting for the add to load and close, then for the actu

I appreciate your news coverage of Myrtle Beach and Horry County very much. Your content though needs better editing as I frequently read the assembly of poor English writing. Words misspelled and badly constructed sentences and paragraphs are not uncommon. It negatively influences my interpretation of what I’m reading. Thank you and please continue.

When I receive a notification I can’t tell what it’s for. Why can’t the red dot that appears on the app to notify me appear on the home page to show me what is being updated? Yes I am old and hate scrolling thru trying to determine what’s updated. Thanks for listening

The problem is actually not a problem, but it’s a problem correlated to being on Wi-Fi. if I’m going to use this app and use it to its full potential, I have to not be using my Wi-Fi. If I’m using Wi-Fi the app will open, the ads will play the articles will not open. As soon as I turn my Wi-Fi off and use AT&T’s network, then the articles will show. it’s something I don’t like having to do by turning on and off my Wi-Fi it’s just how you have to do to use it now. Please fix.

I very much love the information and presentation presented by this app. I only have one suggestion. Like today there was a be on the lookout for a fugitive post that was informative. However, you are unable to enlarge the picture to really see the person of interest. There are lots of times that there are great photos but you can’t see them on the presentation of a phone screen because it’s too small. Please see if there is a way to allow us to enlarge photos. Would be a great help. Thank you.

Alerts are revived. When you click on the sheet the article is not available. on it - and the article has not been published to the app yet Need ability to set parameters for news alerts and only get them for areas wanted.

Even with my settings adjusted to only be alerted for “breaking news” I still get flashes about weather every day. Not dangerous or unusual weather, just alerts to tell me that weather will be discussed on the news. Annoying.

This app requires location services to load, really? I know why you want that feature so you can blast us with ads and btw this app is loaded with them to the point it is disruptive to the app! News is not updated daily and stories have misspelled words. For locals relying on information this is not the app for that!

This recent app update is terrible. I believe the advertisements are causing an issue. The layout is pretty bad as well. Have the station manager use this app for one day and I guarantee this will get fixed quickly. Looking forward to a quick corrective update.

Not thrilled with the new update. Every news alert is sent twice, a few minutes apart. The notification sound is quite annoying. It sounds like a video game.

Breaking news is fast, content of stories is adequate - however the number of unique stories is low - as you scroll down the list of stories they repeat over and over-why??! This is the reason for the 2 stars.

WMBF gives me the up to the minute news on local and regional information

They push out updates and when you click on the link it brings up the old story with no update.

This app is fantastic but ever since I updated this app, it instantly crashes the minute I try to even use it. It won’t even open at all now.

I have updated my app but every time I go to open it crashes. I get notifications from the app but can’t do anything else. Plz fix soon. Thx

The new app layout is very bland and does not really highlight stories. It’s kind of boring and confusing as to what is news and what are advertisement sponsored material. I am a news junkie but my time on this app has dropped 90% according to my screen time tracker.

Your station is very quick to report breaking news. I appreciate that! However, I find your updates lacking in both speed and content. Often, I find myself wondering about certain events that you have reported on and when I look for updated info, I typically find only the original story with a new or updated headline. Generally you end the story by saying you are following the story and will update as info becomes available. Instead of chasing every new and often trivial story, please spend a l

It would be nice if a news app gave info on events happening in the area; I feel like we should go back to getting a newspaper. What would be so hard to have a small section about local things to do on the weekends.

I do not like the new app at all. It is very hard to scroll to read the news due to so many pop up ads blocking your stories. I have all local mobile news apps and WMBF was always my favorite . Please clean it up!
