Return to old time lapse at top of map ### 2/5 — Old news *2021-03-21, version 6.35* Seems they just can’t find any up-to-date news stories. They keep the same stories for days. They are never current. A lot of the stories are just junk. The extra star is for the weather. I like that. ### 2/5 — Ads Too Long *2020-10-13, version 6.32* I like your app, and I prefer your news over other local stations. However, the channel 12 and 58 apps allow you to skip the ads after 5 seconds. Your app makes you watch a 30-second advertising video before every news story, which is extremely annoying. For that reason, I hardly ever use the channel 4 app. ### 2/5 — This is rating the app.... *2020-03-25, version 6.30* I am noticing that some people are rating the news station on here. News...great. That is why I downloaded their app. App not so great. Downloaded it specifically for live updates on COVID-19. I get the update that they are live and click on it and it is clunky. Does not auto launch the live news conference. Sometimes I can NEVER get the live stream to open. JUST BAD. ### 3/5 — IPhone X App Crashes Alot *2020-01-13, version 6.24* I want to love this app even more, however it does crash a lot. Annoying. Especially on Weather videos. ### 2/5 — Used to work until the latest update.... *2019-05-08, version 6.21* I can’t even get the app to open, it crashes immediately. It was fine up until now. 🤷‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Crashes *2018-02-21, version 6.15* Latest update crashes or tries to crash. iPhone 7 IOS 11.2.6 ### 5/5 — Great App! *2017-12-12, version 6.14.1* Simple, to the point, factual, non-bias. Love it! Perfect for local news. ### 5/5 — My Connection to Home *2017-07-19, version 6.12* WTMJ.COM is contemporary and current. It's my connection to my hometown. ### 5/5 — Great job! *2016-01-16, version 6.1* I wrote a review on the previous version and gave it 2 stars, do to numerous problems. But I am happy to say it now deserves 5 stars. Here is why: 1. The live stream is back! One of the biggest problems was that the live stream was taken away. It is now back! 2. Before if you wanted to send feedback or help, it took you to a Las Vegas news website. That has been fixed and directs you to the WTMJ website. 3. Crashes have been reduced. Although you will still get crashes every once in a while, it has been reduced. 4. The new weather improvements are amazing. With on the left screen a forecast, and video and on the right screen an amazing radar. Plus more. Overall, I am impressed to see that you guys were able to fix almost everything in one update. And take time to read feedback to improve your app. Once again, great job! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Weather Radar *2026-06-17, version 7.15* It never works! It quit working on my phone a few weeks ago and now it no longer works in my tablet. I now use a local competitor’s app to view the radar. Do better TMJ4! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-01-14, version 7.13.1* Constant crashes and have notifications turned on but I have yet to see one. It seems this is just a ‘token’ app for this station and they don’t utilize it. ### 1/5 — What the what?! *2020-07-16, version 6.31* There are times when I open the app, and I find a black screen. App has its quirks. ### 1/5 — Not functional *2017-07-22, version 6.12* Not a good app at all ### 1/5 — Beware of ads! *2016-11-18, version 6.8* At first glance this looks like a decent app, but after just a few minutes of using it I realized this app has ads all over including over areas that one needs to tap to access (ie. current radar map). Everything in the app seems as it was thrown together without much thought. With that said it's a free app. Download for yourself and make your own opinion. UPDATE: Still a horrible app, try to watch live news, does not work and when it does work closed captioning enabled. ### 1/5 — Endless commercials with live stream *2016-10-14, version 6.7* I primarily use the app to watch the live stream. Recently noticed that I get caught into repetitive commercials (i.e the SAME commercial over and over) instead of watching 1-3 commercials then the news. This seems like an error to me. I get frustrated and then just go to your competitor's app to watch their live news. Hope you figure out the fix. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Spam *2016-09-26, version 6.7* Useless app due to spam popping up constantly. ### 1/5 — Liberals *2016-08-10, version 6.6* I get like 30 notifications about the criminal Hillary at the DNC and only 2 for the RNC ### 1/5 — Ver 6.4(1) is not so nice *2016-04-17, version 6.4* I hope TMJ4 didn't pay their developer too much for this last update. Since free TV runs on paid ads wouldn't you think the app developers would make sure the ad would actually play out in its full entirety? Every news story I wanted to view today was preceded by an ad that only played 3-4 seconds in length. Only the sound was heard and no video. Well folks since you are required to watch the ad before you can jump to the news story…. guess what? If you don't view the ad you don't get to see the news story. Time to uninstall this and hope someone wakes up and fixes it. iOS9.3.1 iPhone6 ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2016-03-01, version 6.2* Deleted. No reason for so many ads. I'll stick with the Fox News app, where I have the school closing a after 1 click! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WTMJ4 *2021-10-15, version 6.41* We watch and read WTMJ4 every night. The only station we listen and watch every night for our news and weather! We know we will get the best of both. ### 5/5 — Live in the south now *2021-04-21, version 6.36* I love to be able to keep up with what's going on up where I used to live!!! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Great news outlet *2020-08-04, version 6.31* Very informative. Really appreciate the hard work and dedication of the TMJ 4 news anchors and reporters during these challenging times. Thank you!! Chris N. ### 5/5 — Always top notch *2020-06-10, version 6.30* Always fair, with good writing and straight-forward presentation of material. ### 5/5 — Bonnie Mikulecky review *2020-03-13, version 6.30* I really appreciate the timely updates keeping me informed on important issues especially with this pandemic. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Informative *2019-08-19, version 6.22* This is a very informative news app. The content is well organized. Update: As a result of this app and Storm Shield - I have now gone back to watching TMJ4! ### 5/5 — The BEST News station in Milwaukee!!! *2019-07-06, version 6.21* I have watched Channel 4 news for virtually my entire life. Their reporters are very concise and seem to ask all the questions I would want answered for every story. The weather staff is very dedicated and , most times, dead on with their forecast. They are the ONLY ones I TRUST for my weather information. The Sports staff does an INCREDIBLE job as well. They give me all the information I look for all the local teams. Thank You can tell everyone at Channel 4 love the work they do AND who they work WITH. The TMJ4 app is very easy to use and find the information I am looking for. And I always look to the Storm Sheild App when the weather looks to be changing. I truly am a TMJ4 fan for LIFE! Keep it up and THANK YOU for all your years of providing all I need to know on a day to day basis!! Patty Schmidt ### 5/5 — TMJ4 *2019-06-08, version 6.21* Always great news!! ### 5/5 — IOS *2019-05-21, version 6.21* Great app for the iPhone. Sections are easy to navigate. You can get alerts on breaking news on your phone if you want them. I usually want updates on Sports scores or local weather and it is a handy app for me! ### 5/5 — Review! *2018-12-06, version 6.18* I like it ,simple to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
