The best news
This is the best news station in Mississippi.
New format
New format hard to navigated
News
I love the app but just one thing I can’t stand. When you get notifications on news once you click on one it wipes out all the others and then you can’t find them. I was hoping to be able to click on multiple ones
App has started locking up
Every article cause the app to just freeze until I shut it down. WLBT works fine so I guess I’m getting my local news there until this is fixed.
Why
App jumps back to the top of news articles randomly for no reason. Seems to maybe be ad related but rather annoying. Please fix!
HANDY
IT KEEPS ME UP TO DATE, THANK YOU
Too many ads
I want to open and read the article. I don’t want to see a ad each time. I quit using this app because of this.
Enjoy the app but.....
Takes too long to read an update because of the ads. Some ads are twice as long as the update
It is ok, but there are issues
Reading the stories and watching the accompanying videos are fine, but I do not like the haphazard layout of the news page. Since I don’t have a television, I watch on my iPhone or iPad. However, it often takes more than 5 minutes for the Live broadcasts to begin, and sometimes, they never connect. Too many times a reporter gets cutoff in the middle of a story, an anchor will be giving a story that has another story playing on top of it, video stops and repeats what was just said, or it just stops playing altogether. I do like the notifications throughout the day.
Live news cast
I think that the app is better than similar apps here in Mississippi. One improvement can be made with the news feed that loads when you want to watch the news it will sometimes load the 5:00 pm news at 9:40pm forcing you too each that instead of being ready for the late news. The feed doesn’t always load properly or on time.
Love WAPT app
I love WAPT app
Needs Improvement
The current version of this app doesn’t work and needs to be fixed.
Prince Charles
It’s not a review it’s a correction request please!! And maybe someone corrected it while I am sending this e-mail! It pertains to the news strips that are running below the screen; the news pertaining to Prince Charles. You will find that the word “heir” is incorrect please change it!! you have “air” not “heir”!!! Thank you so much!!
Wapt App Review
I was asked in App to do this so here goes Too many ads Do not care for the was local news is intermingled with National News and Human Interest Stories I am an avid consumer of News but at times that is hard to separate in this app
Captive audience live stream
Live stream is buggy. Very annoying to watch it and have to watch an ad to rejoin after closing stream to do anything as simple as check the time. No complaints other than this but I don't really use the app for anything else.
Local
I love it
Disappointing radar change
The recent change of radar format is disappointing. The loop goes back way too many hours. It is very slow loading and doesn’t load most of the time without having to close and re-open the app. The previous app was easy to identify roads and it had a crosshair that could pinpoint an exact location as the view was widened. Please bring back the previous radar app.
Weather/News
I like the weather information and the maps. I would like to see more info on breaking news stories not just the headline in the body of the story with the all to often tag line “we’re following this story and will follow up as information becomes available “.
Kyle
Plz give us more alerts on the weather .really want more notifications on the weather and news
Top news stories

Poor improvements
November 23, 2018. The app is not for anyone who wants to read the news. Most of the articles, if not all, are still videos. The app is a waste of time. I will check it in about another 3-4 months. I suggest to use one of the other local news apps. *********** July 25, 2018. The app still is mostly videos and very little text. A person waste more time watching videos then reading. A well written news article has more than a video. The app is not for someone who likes to read. There are other news apps that are better. 1 star or less. zero stars would be better. I will check it again in 3 or 4 months or when they try to improve the app. *********** March 13, 2018. Your version number 5.13.26 that just came out is the worst yet. Your have advertising audio that starts up on it’s own and keeps repeating over and over. It is wrong to force your viewers to listen or watch something they don’t want. I am deleting the app and waiting 3 to 6 months to try it again. Rating should be less than 1 star or zero at best. I do not recommend this app. *********** I tried the latest release and the App is still not worth using. There is still very little text. Mostly big photos. There is another new flaw or serious problem. After starting the app, a voice ad starts and there is no way to stop it from repeating over and over and over and over. My rating is less than 1 star. I am going to delete it again and then in another month or two if there is another update, I will try it again. ^^^^^^ The latest version is great for people who cannot read. I recommend a competitor's app. Anybody's except WAPT. I was hoping that the new version would be an improvement, but it was disappointing again. When I use my phone or iPad to catch up on the news, I don't want to waste time watching a video. Most of us in the digital world are busy. With a video, we have to find our ear buds and put them on or we have to go hide where we don't disturb others. Most of us are smart enough to quickly read well written articles. Maybe you don't have someone that can write. Since this is another "update" without removing your dependence on all videos and little written word. I am finally going to remove your app to save space on my phone.
Survey
I love all the alerts and also keeping the public informed on news and weather. Love channel 16. You definitely earn a 4 stars.
Used to love it
I wish the stories would be on a single page instead of scrolling from one story into another story. I suggest instead of that use links to other stories instead of scrolling down into another story. Also I wish the weather radar wasn’t so complicated. When I wanna see a storm coming to my house I wish just seeing the radar only was default.
Review
Keeps me up to date, I like the alerts. App could work better and be more streamline though
North MS
I live in Desoto County and don’t really get news concerning my state, “the Sip”, being this close to TN. This app keeps me informed about what’s going on. The weather feature, is second to none, if WAPT 16 app say it will rain nearby in 4.86354 minutes believe it.
Complaint
I should not have to share my location with you to be able to read WAPT news on my phone. Where I am is none of your business I will be changing to another channel
Inconsistent
I could only give this app 2 stars, simply because some days it works well and others it doesn’t. Not sure if it’s the broadcast or the app, but some days it doesn’t play at all it simply buffers. Other days it will ply a few seconds, stop and repeat itself and stop. While there are other times 6am it seems they take a 15 or 20 minute hiatus until it comes back on. It’s free so what can you expect. If I paid for it, I would demand a refund because it too inconsistent and unreliable.
Notifications
What irks me is you send out a notification then when I click on the the story is not there yet. If I’m doing something wrong let me know and I’ll give you 5 stars.
Great news reporting.
Thank you for your “on the spot” quick news and weather news.
Most news stories are from outside station area.
I want local news from a local news affiliate. If I wanted news across the nation I would have selected a national news outlet. More ads than most. Plus, too many push notifications begging for ratings.
Appreciation
I Appreciate What You All Are Doing And Thank You All So Much For Keeping Our Community Aware Of What’s Going On Around Us We All Have Lives To Live Not 9 Lives Just One Praying Each And Every Day That God Go Before Us And Keep Us Be Bless
My rating
I gave a rating of 1, because that’s the lowest rating offered! If I could I would rate this app in the negative. The reason? Pop up adds! Can’t X out of them. You have to close out the app and try again. Sickening. Hate it. I’m on the verge of deleting this app and getting my local news from another app.
