| 2024-12-09 |  | | I check the News 4 weather app everyday before I go to work |
| 2024-10-25 |  | | Seam like it's 👍 👌 🤔 about dis app comes with updates Itta be great if comes with updates 👍 |
| 2024-08-21 |  | | Biggest problem is a lack of a full News Report streaming. By that I like a news show like the half-hour or one hour shows on TV. Best method would be a link to the"'last Broadcasted TV News Show" App was an OK level replacement of a really good weather app. Constantly updating the news eats a lot of energy. [Developer replied asking for more info and made no avenue available for any reply from me --- ? ] |
| 2023-07-22 |  | | Horrible. Weather portion hasn't changed temp in days and for specific location doesn't show weather that is happening. A waste. Update. If last app update fixed bugs it sure didn't fix weather. Been cloudy (day & night) so this app worthless. |
| 2022-02-02 |  | | I'm not sure what has been going on with this app as of late, but for the last three months, there's been a disturbing number of occasions where the live broadcast of the news WASN'T THERE when it should've been. Like at all. Inexcusable. |
| 2022-01-06 |  | | Unusable, except for weather. Looks like they didn't invest in a usability expert. Specifically usability for someone who has color recognition issues. Somebody (probably someone who thought that since dark mode is now a thing) selected dark blue on black as the highlight color. This is unreadable to me. I'll read an article and then the subject or important bits of the story are effectively blank! Please at least allow customization of the color pallet. |
| 2021-08-17 |  | | This use to be my go to app for news and weather updates. Since the latest update trying to read the weather is a little difficult. The radar no longer works and the font is smaller. Horrible app! |
| 2021-08-14 |  | | The old version of the app was great. It was my go-to for local weather and I used it every day. Unfortunately, with this latest redesign it is awful! The radar only works about half the time, and the current day's forecast is so confusing. I miss the old layout! Please figure out a better way of presenting the information. All I want to know is the forecasted high/low and whether rain/snow is predicted. |
| 2021-08-03 |  | | I loved this app until the recent update. I no longer see live radar (just cloud coverage), and the loss of current temperature and other info on my (Android) home screen and notification list is more than annoying. |
| 2021-07-21 |  | | The live feed fails to play in the newly designed app. I tried it on two devices and it still doesn't play. It played well in the previous version; otherwise, I would rate it five stars. |
