WAFB 9News App Reviews

This app needs a larger font size.

The app is impossible to use as there are videos with extremely loud audio automatically opens. Why?????????

Great review of the weather forecast.

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.

Downloaded app and for some reason it won’t open

Don’t care the the ads should be able to pay for ad free

On my home screen I have an indicator of an unread notification despite checking everything. I have restarted my phone, closed the app, etc. I can only make it go away by turning off notifications.

The traffic alerts won’t load most days. I rarely get any alerts.

I haven’t been able to log on in two days. Deleted the app and reinstalled. Still not working.

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.
