### 4/5 — Opinions are not news

*2026-07-17, version 3000010*

Why would WJXT post an opinion about President Trumps speech and call it news? You can tell from the very beginning of the article that this writer has a bias against the president. If you are going to do that at least say it is an opinion piece.

### 4/5 — Political bias

*2026-07-03, version 3000010*

Local news and weather coverage is great.  Political coverage is predominantly liberal.  Often blatantly obvious.

### 3/5 — Weather Forecast

*2026-03-08, version 3000008*

TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!
I tapped on the forecast and gave up because of the endless advertising.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-02-12, version 3000008*

Too many ad’s. Users to missing valuable information because of the ads.

### 2/5 — Too many pop-up ads!

*2025-05-09, version 3000005*

This was a good app until ads started popping up every 5 to 10 seconds. I understand the need for ads but 5 to 10 seconds?

### 1/5 — I used to trust the app but no more

*2025-03-26, version 3000005*

The app was my first choice for local news. Now it’s just a site with ads that make me sit while I and watch a commercial for 15-30 seconds and listen to an annoying soundtrack.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-03-15, version 3000005*

Shame on news4Jax app for inserting ads into every possible place they can to generate money. Ads pop-up and the option to close is delayed purposely so you have to wait and watch before you can close. Some of the newer ads don’t even give you that option to close at that point I shut the app down and move onto something else. You’re losing viewers.

### 1/5 — Mandatory Political Notifications

*2025-02-25, version 3000005*

The only notifications you can’t opt out of with this app, hilariously, are unhinged, biased, manipulative political notifications that no one watches on the app anyway.

### 1/5 — Video Autoplay

*2024-12-24, version 3000005*

App worked great until I recently updated it and now I can’t choose to disable autoplay.

### 1/5 — Dismal app

*2024-10-08, version 3000005*

App has totally different articles than website and are not in synch with website. Too many ads built into articles. Stale news stores on app.  I REFUSE TO WATCH 3 MIN ADJUST TO READ AN ARTICLE.  PITIFUL APP!   During Hurricane app has ads built in for you to watch vice vital Hurricane news.   A new disgraceful low!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Democrat owned news.

*2026-09-03, version 3000010*

Sucks

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-23, version 3000009*

Why does News4Jax post FHP reports about traffic accidents at the 30 mile marker when this is 300 miles away? Do we not have more ‘local’ things to report?

### 1/5 — Pop up ads are getting old

*2026-05-07, version 3000008*

Get ride of the lingerie ads or I’m deleting my app

### 1/5 — Weather

*2026-04-13, version 3000008*

Whatever happened  to the seven day forecast?

### 1/5 — Just ok

*2026-03-14, version 3000008*

The app jumps around, doesn’t follow notification and doesn’t fit with Apple items for landscape videos

### 1/5 — Bias

*2026-01-02, version 3000007*

Bias trump hating news

### 1/5 — No free speech at n4j

*2025-10-18, version 3000007*

Bias left leaning liberal democrat station that has a moderator that hates republicans i’ve been permanently banned from posting. I know this  because it lets me post, but I never get any replies. I should have an attorney look into it because last time I checked, we  have the right to free speech.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-05-05*

I have been watching News4Jax for more than 25 years now and have had their app for a while now as well. I’m disappointed because nowhere whenever I use your app I get a popup and redirect for some kind of advertisement of sorts and it’s really annoying when you just want to read the news article to find out what’s going on!! What’s even more annoying and frustrating is when the stupid ads won’t go away and I have to close the app and relaunch it just to get rid of the ads!! This used to be a great app with a reliable news source that my family and I have watched and trusted for many years now but now you’ve ruined this app by selling out with all of your stupid popup ads!!

### 1/5 — Deleted - endless video ads took over the app

*2025-04-19, version 3000005*

LOUD video ads get more time than the news. Impossible to turn them off. Other weather available & the rest is mostly regurgitated wire stories.

### 1/5 — Frequent and Annoying Video Ads

*2025-03-31, version 3000005*

About every other story you get an annoying stupid game that only an easily amused person would play video ad >20 seconds before you can opt out. I know these local stations are extremely hard up for money as they now have to cater to a low income crowd but at least advertise for something local even if a wig shop.

### 5/5 — Love WJXT

*2026-08-12, version 3000010*

I have been watching WJXT for the last 56 years. I would sit on the floor with my Granddaddy, eat boiled peanuts, and watch WJXT, I was only 5 years old. ❤️
I’ve always wanted to meet the team, 
Tom Wills, Deborah Gianoulis. I met Sam K. , George W., and 
Joy P. 
Keep up the awesome team that’s going now. 
 Sincerely, 
Theresa Oyler Interlachen, born and raised on the Westside of Jax, but live in Interlachen now.
