Occasionally the station is a bit slow to update the news stories. Kind of tedious to sit through the same ads to watch the news segments. Nonetheless, I do use it everyday to scan the local news. New version: It's an improvement. Easier to use. Wondered what "DVM" stood for. Guess WHAG changed its FCC letters. Newer version: Nice improvements, sometimes the text to a story is very small and can’t be changed. Just a minor ding. I use this every day. ### 4/5 — Nice News Format *2017-08-10* I've only had this app for a few weeks, but so far it seems to be a nice app. I receive news updates as necessary and this appears to be how cable television is headed. ### 4/5 — Best App for local news and weather *2016-03-21, version 2.13.0* Needs to include top 5 world news events ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2015-11-13, version 2.13.0* Well done, works well. Good weather and news. ### 4/5 — Pretty good app *2015-09-20, version 2.12.0* At times it throws you out of the app ### 5/5 — WHAG app *2015-04-30, version 2.11.0* Good app to keep oneself informed of the "4" state news, weather, sports and local activities. Based in Hagerstown MD it serves south central PA, parts of northern/western MD, and the Shenandoah valley of WV and VA. ### 5/5 — 4state *2015-04-20, version 2.11.0* This is a great app it keeps me up-to-date on all the news. ### 5/5 — WHAG *2015-03-27, version 2.10.0* Great source of news, better than FNP ### 5/5 — WHAG *2015-03-05, version 2.10.0* Excellent source of news. ### 5/5 — Prompt Local News *2015-02-05* I appreciate the timely, quick loading, local news & weather. The app is easy to use & efficient. ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2015-01-05, version 2.8.0* Very handy for local updates as satellite does not carry local channels. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-11-16, version 2.6.0* Good news coverage for my area ### 5/5 — Ms. She *2014-10-30, version 2.6.0* 1st thing I read in the morning ### 5/5 — A great app *2014-09-15, version 2.4.0* It's a great app to use to know about the news in your local area when you don't have cable. 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2014-08-26* NBC 25 has been around our community for as long as I can remember broadcasting important local news. I was really happy when they continued in the digital age with your4 state. Thank you ### 5/5 — Appreciation You Folks! *2014-08-20* Just want to say thank you for all of your programming and your support of our local communities! Also appreciate all of the new newscasters/weathercasters you mentor and help to train. I enjoy watching them grow and transform in their abilities and positions. Keep up the great things you do! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mainstream media garbage!!! *2022-06-26* Such a dump of an app!!! Supposed to be a Hagerstown station but trying so hard to be DC trash. Deleting app!!! ### 1/5 — Latest update looses WV news *2021-04-04* The latest update is a drastic change that removes most of WV news. News is nuch harder to find and read. I will be removing this app! ### 1/5 — Not Pa friendly *2018-06-16, version 4.29.630037509* I live 10 miles north of Md Pa state line, very little news is posted about the Franklin County area. I guess that is not considered local but DC is. ### 1/5 — Ok for local news *2013-11-19, version 1.33.0* Nothing fancy or flashy here. I hate that you have to watch an advertisement each time you watch a news video. Other than that, it's ok. ### 1/5 — Needs improvements *2013-08-06, version 1.29.0* I receive a pop up with a news alert, click on it & I get "no information found". Weather reports, collect & when I try to click on them half the time they won't open. Just about a useless app! ### 2/5 — Frustrating :-/ *2013-10-10* I like the fact that Your 4 State can notify me when dangerous weather is approaching, but I'm finding many of the PUSH notifications extremely frustrating. I get a partial message when I turn on the phone, something like "Police are investigating an incident at Valley Mall. The mall is on lockdown because..." And when I click on it, it opens my 4 State app -- where there is absolutely no mention of the incident, even under the "breaking news" column. This has happened over and over again. Since the only reason I downloaded the app in the first place was for late-breaking news, this is disappointing to me. ### 2/5 — It's an ok app *2013-09-01, version 1.29.0* For most part it's an good news app only downside is the popup or news flash doesn't always work. ### 3/5 — Better app easier to use still no live streaming disappointed *2017-11-29* App gets better to use easier and easier love the app would still love live streaming and all weather segment videos for instead of the little snippet fool sorry ### 3/5 — Good, not great *2013-08-28* I love having local news at my fingertips, yet I realize I don't always have the top stories. After getting a pop-up of "breaking news," swiping the pop-up, takes you to the app. Without the breaking news. No mention of that breaking news at all. Usually takes a few hours, after the alert, to have the breaking news (no longer breaking) post on the news feed. ### 3/5 — This app is pretty good *2013-08-22, version 1.29.0* You get a pop-up but then there is no information! What is that about? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love it! *2021-01-20* my family and i love this channel! they always try and do their best. the quality is consistent. very responsive, helpful, and calm on the information phone line when we have called about technical difficulties. you can tell the reporters work very hard. overall great local news. ### 5/5 — Best news in 4 state area *2019-02-03* Panhandle residents seem to be in another world from the rest of WV, but we can depend on getting the news from DVM that affects us. You can learn what is happening in the area, nation, and the world. ### 5/5 — Enjoy all the news...& newscasters❤️ *2019-01-29* Always enjoy keeping up with the local news. You have wonderful newscasters, who are very professional & do a superb job. Love watching the weather reports, too .We get attached to the reporters & feel a loss when they move on in their careers.

I deleted and reloaded with no change, still get message and won't open. ### 5/5 — News worthy *2016-09-27* Great station report the news the old fashion way, not bias at all straight forward news ### 5/5 — Your4State great app for the news and weather in my area! *2016-05-12, version 2.13.0* Great way to get the news and weather for my area! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2016-04-07, version 2.13.0* Good App!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-06-08, version 2.11.0* Very informative.
