Eventually I give up and don’t read the story. The video player is also quite buggy. ### 2/5 — Decent app, but STOP PAUSING MY MUSIC *2024-08-28* I hate hate hate apps that pause my audio as soon as the app is opened. I can read the text your displaying while having sounds in my ears, believe it or not. You do not need to stop my audio simply because I opened your app. Update: I can’t do it anymore! I finally deleted the app because it mutes my audio. ### 3/5 — Decent app, but STOP PAUSING MY MUSIC *2024-07-08* I hate hate hate apps that pause my audio as soon as the app is opened. I can read the text your displaying while having sounds in my ears, believe it or not. You do not need to stop my audio simply because I opened your app. ### 2/5 — Please fix scrolling *2022-03-05* Enjoy the app layout. However, when scrolling images are super jittery and bounce a lot which causes nausea. Please fix ### 2/5 — Update *2021-09-22* This recent update made things worse on my end. Nothing works right since the update. The whole app gets stuck. You can't click on anything or hit the back arrow because it's stuck. The video story automatically starts playing and you can't swipe it up and away or mute. So irritating when you don't want to listen. I guess I could try deleting the app and reinstall. But that's a pain too. Not sure why this happens on my end. ### 2/5 — Big Tech *2020-12-04, version 4.35.570057091* I don’t enjoy 4 News since you are more aligned with big tech. ### 3/5 — Great app but.. *2020-12-03* This app is great especially for all the Utah news and weather. But the most annoying thing about this app is that I keep managing my alerts to ONLY get weather push notifications, but the app keeps sending me notifications or top news stories and changing my notification settings without me knowing. ### 2/5 — Too Many Advertisements *2020-06-11* News not updated frequently enough. Headline news articles difficult to find. Like most news aps their purpose seems to be inundating reader with advertisements. Thanks for reading. ### 2/5 — PLEASE MAKE AN APPLE TV APP *2020-06-03, version 4.35.340053619* Why don’t you have an Apple TV app? ### 2/5 — Horrible app *2018-07-14* This app never works correctly. Plus the news is always one to two days old. The format is awful I would not recommend. I get my News faster by mail lol ### 4/5 — Keep on top of current events. *2017-07-01* I like the local updates . Very informative. ### 3/5 — Eh *2017-06-21, version 4.24.180029661* It is all over the place. Not well organized ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-12, version 502.0.2* Makes you enter an email address for live TV then won’t let you watch it even after you’ve done it multiple times ### 1/5 — Won’t play live videos *2022-11-11, version 41.14.0* Won’t play live videos, both on the website and on the app. ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2022-07-10* I tried find a update on what should be a top story, and all I found were advertisements, and videos shot by people, there was no update, there was no news. ### 1/5 — You headlines have turned to lies and false info *2020-11-10* Your headlines have turned to lies and misinformation. You were one of the last hopes I had for a moderate-slightly left leaning news organization to give out stories with truth and facts. Education time. FACT: Joe Biden is NOT the president elect. Your insistence with pushing this lie has discredited each of your employees’ integrity and destroyed the hope 100,000’s of viewers in this state had at a somewhat impartial news agency. ABC4 News Utah is the latest in a long line of organizations that has given incontrovertible proof to the FACT viewers CANNOT trust nor believe what the news media says and prints. Deleting your app. Banning your fraud. ### 1/5 — Your ads are out of control *2020-09-06* I am seriously considering using a different news source as your ads are beyond intrusive. Having to scroll through 4+ in the middle of a story is inconvenient to say the least. ### 1/5 — Worst news app in Utah *2019-11-26* Doesn’t update. National news section just one local story and a high school football story from weeks ago. Multiple news sections the same picture of the local high school football story. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — App is not user intuitive *2019-11-21* Unfortunately, the app sends out notices but when curiosity is peaked and I open the app the featured articles are not easily accessible. Ex: after getting an urgent report of an amber alert, I went to the app and it was not featured or prominently displayed. If the app is sending me notices, I expect to be able to have easy and clear access to the urgent or pertinent information that they have sent the notice about. ### 1/5 — ads *2019-01-20, version 4.30.460042546* download our app so we can push ads that you could otherwise block on our website ### 1/5 — Buggy *2017-06-29, version 4.24.180029661* Crashes repeatedly, even after reinstalled. I like the layout but the crashes aren't worth it. ### 1/5 — No live news streaming. *2016-12-11, version 3.7.0* Don't waste your time downloading this app. They DO NOT stream their local news live. You'd be much better downloading KSL, CBS-2 or FOX-13 for live newscasts. Nexstar can't seem to get themselves out of the 90's. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best news source in Utah now has a worthy app *2020-12-11* The ABC4 Utah news app is clear concise and straightforward to the point. I feel it is now worthy to be called an app to the best news program in Itah. ### 5/5 — Great News *2020-10-21* Excellent coverage of local events and great political coverage. Keeps us all informed. ### 5/5 — The Big 4 *2019-11-13, version 4.34.260049911* Great app with a lot of news. ### 5/5 — Great App. *2019-10-15* Thirealm... And doesn't offer much to the truth... It tends to offer news that sometimesthism ruffle the feathers and puts way to much into covering the the paid news such as all the so called political rally's .... ### 5/5 — Love 4❤️ *2019-07-05* I love channel 4. Good Morning America always gets me going in the morning. And I love Good Things Utah!!! Even though I’m almost 73 and those girls, and of course Brian, are young enough to be my grandchildren, not a day goes by that I don’t either laugh at their antics, or cry when Regan’s dog Cowboy passed away or laugh when Nicea got a puppy. I’ve gotten recipes daily and info from the sponsors. I enjoyed their trip to Southern Utah (since I live in Saint George.) I always record the program if I have to miss it. Thanks for making my mornings!!! Of course I love The View. These 3 programs are my mornings but I watch channel 4 throughout the day. Right now I’m furious that channel 4 has been dropped from Direct TV but that’s a problem I’m working on. ### 5/5 — Abc 4 Utah *2018-09-23* I don't trust any other news I know everyone on the news they ate like family to me keep up the good work guys♥️♥️😘 ### 5/5 — Important Utah news fast *2018-03-15* I love the push alerts. I’m usually the first among my friends to know when important news breaks. It’s a great app but the timely updates are what makes it better than others. ### 5/5 — News4Utah APp *2018-03-15* Frequent updates of timely, relevant news stories and what’s going on in the community. ### 5/5 — Great app,Thanks *2017-05-19, version 3.74.0* At the touch, I'm able to obtain news, but the weather is spectacular! Thank You. ### 5/5 — Informative *2016-09-21, version 3.5.0* I enjoy watching Good4Utah news and this app is a great companion to that! It's informative without being intrusive... I recommend this to anyone who wants to stay updated about the important things happening here and around the world! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
