WAFB 9News App Reviews

Channel 9 is the best in Baton Rouge and always has been for as long as they have been on the air since the 1950’s. Always up to date with the news and the weather and the sports. The personnel are top notch as are the reporters in keeping us up to date with all of the news in the viewing area.

Love the news, but the app needs work. Ads shouldn’t default to loud volume, and the app should run more smoothly. Does not zoom or scroll very easily, especially side to side.

When launching WAFB9 while playing audio from another app, the audio is paused. This is really annoying, and I avoid using the app when using Bluetooth audio. No everyone launching this app intends to play a video. Please consider updating the app to only interrupt audio when a video is selected to play. This only happens when playing audio through phone speakers or Bluetooth, not airplay.

The latest update is not user friendly. It’s hard to navigate, has slow response time, and displays too many ads.

The app used to be excellent however, after recent updates, it no longer allows you to perform other functions on your device while watching the streaming program. Also, for the last three nights, when you turn on the stream at 10 PM, you don’t get the 10 PM news you get the 6 PM news. Very disappointing!

This is my favorite part of the app. It doesn’t seem to be working for me as of now. Very frustrating to not be able to get traffic data and maps when needed.

Not sure why I keep the app around, ads are out of control- both local and standard scammy ads about taking this one simple thing every night to lose 60 pounds in 4 hours, or how to lower your car insurance rates with carriers who are not even offering coverage in Louisiana. App stories are essentially click bait. It’s very sad that I can’t get my news with only local ads like on the TV.
