User reviews

Garbage, garbage, garbage app! 60% of the time I click on a notification to read a story and it locks up. Then, you go to the WFLA website to read about the story and it's not there yet. So frustrating! I use an Android phone... not sure how it works on Apple but there's a lot of people that use Androids. Also the ads are way too long and you have to watch the whole thing. It's all about money. I've always been a fan of NBC but I would advise you to use one of the other network apps.

This app is awful. It wasn't great before the last update but now it's intolerable. Clicking on the notifications either stalls or gets stuck on the ads, and all functionality is gone. Looks like there's another update, maybe that'll help. Otherwise, have to close the app multiple times to navigate through the news.

Love WFLA, but the app - not so much. Latest update causes the app to freeze when accessing from a notification. Sometimes it will get as far as the advertisement and then freeze. Really buggy now.
