Either that or ask for help from your competitor on how they do it right ### 1/5 — Won’t open. *2018-03-26, version 2.9.0* Loved the app before the update. Now won’t open. Not happy. ### 1/5 — Faithful user.. *2018-03-24, version 2.9.0* Uggg!!!! WILL NOT OPEN AFTER RECENT UPDATE!!! Please fix ASAP!!! ### 1/5 — Updated. Won’t open. *2018-03-23, version 2.9.0* Very disappointed in the latest update as now the app won’t open. Please fix ASAP! ### 1/5 — Junk *2018-03-21, version 2.9.0* Updated today. Now won’t open. Thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — I don't want to turn on Bluetooth! *2017-03-31* Every time I open the program, it tells me to turn on Bluetooth. Instead I am deleting your app from my phone! ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-01-26, version 1.2* Not once has a video ever worked in this app. Most stories have no text, only video... Useless. ### 2/5 — WFMJ21 app *2015-06-29, version 1.2* Screens are upside-down on the iPad. There is no problem with this app on my iPhone. I have removed the app many times, but when I get it back, the screens are still upside-down on the iPad. Help! I will phone WFMJ Monday to learn whether anyone else has this problem. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2015-02-27, version 1.2* Freezes all the time. Hard to navigate back from stories. Deleting app! ### 1/5 — Bad start *2015-01-25, version 1.2* This app is so buggy as to be unusable. Most videos look like they load but won't play. On home page the "more detail" button for weather doesn't work. Who did this app, a summer intern? ### 1/5 — Weather? *2014-11-01, version 1.2* You can no longer get weather in upper right hand corner? Could we please fix this???? iPhone 6 plus ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-24, version 6.9.3* Here’s an idea find someone who can design an app that works. Blank screen ,frozen ad, no weather, no updates. If you can’t fix it then scrap it. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-03-24, version 6.9.3* This is the worst news app. Literally nothing on it but ads ### 1/5 — Non-functional *2026-03-03* I love WFMJ as a news source, but this has to be the worst news app available. I have been using this app for years, and it’s slowly gotten worse and worse, to the point where it’s non-functional about half the time. Half of the stories don’t load on any given day. I am not a big fan of WKBN because they are owned by Nexstar, but I think it’s time to explore other, more consistently available resources. **Developer response:** Thank you loyal viewer for reaching out AND for being loyal to WFMJ, your locally owned, locally connected television and news station. We take pride in keeping our community connected with what’s going on in their community. As you have already noticed, we have had some technical problems with our news app as of late. But we have put all that behind us as we continue to strive to serve the community and are so very excited to announce a new and much improved app. We encourage you to download it today! Again, thank you for reaching out and we hope you find the app AND new website is just what you need for all your local news. ### 1/5 — Content *2026-02-04, version 6.9.3* Useless!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-02-02, version 6.9.3* App NEVER works! Deleted and now I use the WKBN one. It works fine. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-01-09, version 6.9.3* I use to like this app. I want to read the stories but now most of them won’t have the story with it, only the headlines show up! Once you’re midway through the titles of stories and open one to read and go back it takes you allllllll the way to the top again. WOW, get a new team to work on this. Terrible, glitchy, and adds galore! ### 1/5 — Glitchy App *2025-12-22, version 6.9.3* Today’s date 12/22/2025 The app has been pretty much useless for over two weeks. It freezes, or just hangs when trying load pages. It’s useless to use until someone checks the code and check the app for bad or broken code language. ### 1/5 — WFMJ *2025-12-03, version 6.9.3* The website is completely covered with advertisement and I can no longer even get the weather on it. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-11-30, version 6.9.3* Once you navigate through the ads and clickbait, there’s some useful content… ### 1/5 — Location *2025-05-09, version 6.8.1* Please add ALL zip codes to the weather locations. I entered my zip code and it pulled in Struthers. I don’t reside in Struthers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Well Done! *2013-12-26, version 1.1* Great app with nice local information. Thanks WFMJ. Good job. ### 5/5 — Great. *2013-11-17, version 1.1* Good app! ### 4/5 — Good News App *2014-02-11, version 1.1* Wish there were settings that I can turn on alerts :( I don't always read the news hourly so alerts would be nice. ### 3/5 — Text too small *2025-05-10, version 6.8.1* Since the latest update there iOS no longer a text size adjustment and the default font is too small to read ### 3/5 — Please fix issues *2020-11-20, version 6.0* The app will shut down every time a new notification comes through. It’s annoying to be in the middle of an article and it disappear. I follow Ohio and Pittsburgh news and this is the only app that does this. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2018-09-25, version 2.12.0* Ever since the new Apple iOS update this app has not been working properly. When watching the live news feed the app keeps automatically closing out of the feed after about 30 seconds. App needs a new update for iOS 9/24/18 ### 3/5 — Good but.... *2014-01-12, version 1.1* Good app but I don't always want to watch video. The majority of the time I'd rather read the news. ### 2/5 — Good news; low quality app. *2026-06-10, version 220.4* Honestly don’t both with this app, just use the desktop version or your web browser. The news from WFMJ is great, but they cannot seem to get their app right. They “fixed” it a few months ago and sadly, it’s just as glitchy as the old one and more frustrating to navigate. ### 2/5 — Update the news *2025-09-29, version 6.9.3* It’s been 2 days with the same news. The world is passing you by ### 2/5 — What happened? *2025-08-09* This used to be a good app but recently news is 4-5 days old or older. It’s not news anymore --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
