UPDATE: IMPROVED MY RATING FROM 2 TO 4 STARS, MAYBE I'VE JUST GOTTEN USED TO SOME OF THE ADS OR PERHAPS THEY HAVE DECREASED. GRATEFUL FOR THE GOOD REPORTING . This is NOT an improvement over what you had originally. SORRY!! Advertisements are everywhere, very intrusive. Stories do not consistently open. Much work to be done to improve. I hope this is being worked on.

I'm guessing there was was update recently. The icon for the app changed and the look inside is a little different but the app is empty. All I see is a white screen. The navigation pain doesn't list any information. The home page is always blank. May have to delete this app for good if this isn't corrected. I uninstalled the app and downloaded it a second time; the issue continues to persist. Ever since the update, I am unable to get any news articles through the app. No morw local news I guess.

This app needs some attention. I have my alert settings in the app set, but either I'm receiving other stuff, or WAFB has a loose interpretation of what is considered breaking news. Not only that, half the time when I open an alert, it opens my web browser (not the app) and takes me to some page to watch the news (live or rebroadcast), and the app continues to redirect me until I shut it down. Alerts should always open in the app and be tied to some article, which can include an embedded video.
