WPBF 25 News - West Palm Beach

I like this app in principle with two exceptions. (1) when you tap on a story, you must watch advertisements for at least several seconds. It is so annoying. (2) when I get a push feed on my phone or pad, sometimes I can’t even find the story on this app. Overall, I think this station on tv spends way too much time on the weather, but maybe that is what people want to see. Not me, I have a iPhone with weather alerts. The app getting better with news content pertaining to national, state, and local news. There is almost no international news. You need to report more news about the three branches of national government and what is going on in Tallahassee, coverage is better than a year ago so 4 stars.

I like that I receive breaking news, usually several throughout the day. However, I don’t usually get to open each one as they come in. When I do go to open one, it doesn’t always go to the right story and I have a hard time finding the story I am interested in. The ads were particularly annoying. And they were loud. Inappropriate in some settings, so I would ignore the alerts. I almost deleted the app. The last few times I have opened the app - no loud & annoying ads. It’s still a bit sketchy on getting to the right story, but the app has definitely improved.

I’ve Always loved WPBF, as id the main Nres Station I watch, Especially throughput Hurricane season. Their usually correct with their weather reports. Their All Great. The only one thing that I’d like to see more of, is more of what’s happening here in Palm Beach and surrounding areas. There’s Allot Of reports from Martin county, Fort Pierce... Other than that, it’s my favorite News Channel. Thank you kindly, Bonnie from Boca Raton.

I have been watching WPBF app for many years since you first started and this year has been the worst for glitches, advertisements and bugs. I like to read the stories and every story has multiple unfinished sentences. It is like reading half a story. I don’t mind a few advertisements but each story has at least 4 plus the additional 15 second video advertisement. Plus the picture shifts, not sure if it wants to show me a picture on the story or an ad. Also, we have multiple phones in my family that are iPhones and Samsung’s so it isn’t just one operating system affected. I hope you are able to fix these items soon because it really isn’t worth our time to watch half the news.

The only good thing about this app is that you do get notifications of current news/events while they are happening. However- you can't find the event once you go into the app. You are really only getting a headline once you find the story. Barely even the highlights of the story. And my goodness there are so many spelling and grammar errors it’s like reading a 1st grade paper. They only want to be the first to report - accuracy and detail is not a factor. Also - they have no sensitivity to victims privacy. And they don't update the stories or the weather. Way too much old news.
