### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-01-01, version 1.1.6*

App wouldn’t allow me to register, app on smart tv would freeze. Complete waste of time. I can’t believe this is actually available.

### 1/5 — Why bother

*2025-10-20, version 1.1.6*

This app is garbage! Most of the time it won’t play for you. You can refresh it doesn’t work. You can redownload the app it still doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Buggy and inconsistent

*2025-08-29*

When the app works it is good but it seldom does.  Every other day it won’t play anything.  Need to sign out, sign in, delete app, reinstall app.  Only happens on Apple TV, all other streaming apps work fine on it.

### 1/5 — WFMZ DESERVES BETTER

*2025-07-08, version 1.1.6*

IF and that’s IF it plays the video, it will freeze within a minute. If you like restarting your news app 40 times in a sitting this is the app for you. Basically un-usable. Won’t let me post this review cause they know I’m right too.

### 1/5 — Love the news hate the app

*2025-05-16*

If you like restarting your news app 40 times in a sitting this is the app for you. Basically un-usable. Won’t let me post this review cause they know I’m right too.

### 1/5 — Love the news hate the app

If you like restarting your news app 40 times in a sitting this is the app for you. Basically un-usable

### 1/5 — WFMZApp

*2025-03-03, version 1.1.6*

I cannot get this app to work for anything on my IPhone.  Works fine on my laptop.  Now it won’t even connect and when it does I get the register command but it won’t let me register.  Why such a hassle?  Don’t have that problem with any other apps.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-01-02, version 1.1.6*

Freezes and shuts off constantly

### 1/5 — Apple TV

*2024-04-15, version 1.1.4*

I can’t get this app on Apple TV app.  I am only able to download on Apple devices.

### 1/5 — No full screen on Apple TV

*2024-02-22, version 1.1.4*

After downloading and viewing the live feed there’s no way to go to full screen.  It says tap here for full screen buts there’s no way to get there

### 1/5 — App Freezes or is empty….

*2024-01-30, version 1.1.4*

The app is very poorly executed, the content either freezes or just doesn’t appear and leaves you with a blank screen showing no content just the application background.

### 1/5 — Useless, terrible app

*2024-01-19, version 1.1.4*

The live feed is always locked in my iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. I’m registered and logged in. The app always says only available in market. I am in market. 

What’s the point of this app?? It never works.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-01-01, version 1.1.4*

Was unable to watch the Mummers Parade using this app; neither iPhone nor Apple TV versions work.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-07-30, version 2.0*

It plays and then stops. It wasn’t like this before.

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-07-29, version 2.0*

I like WFMZ but it keeps going in and out all the time . I wish the problem was solved. I had no problem until 2 weeks ago.

### 1/5 — App does not play

*2026-07-27, version 2.0*

After the app was fixed, it seemed to run mostly good. I’ve been using it since October at locations in NJ: Branchburg, Phillipsburg, Trenton, and points in between. Suddenly the app stopped playing about a week ago. Then it would start but play for only about a minute or so. Not cool.

### 1/5 — Constantly stops streaming free 10-15 min

*2026-07-15, version 2.0*

It constantly stops streaming to my tv via airplay after 10-15 minutes. Oddly enough it’s mostly in the morning. Saturday broadcasts are fine???

### 1/5 — Buggy and inconsistent

*2026-06-19, version 2.0*

When the app works it is good but it seldom does.  Every other day it won’t play anything.  Need to sign out, sign in, delete app, reinstall app.  Only happens on Apple TV, all other streaming apps work fine on it.

### 1/5 — Performance

*2026-04-28, version 1.1.6*

Very slow and freezes up constantly

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-26, version 1.1.6*

I installed this on my TV and it worked for about a week and then locked me out. This is useless! I really wanted to access live programming, but all ai can see is past news, and sometimes not even that. I’ll find another station to watch.

### 1/5 — Spinning clock

*2026-03-08, version 1.1.6*

App does not work on Apple TV appliance.

### 1/5 — Garbage!!

*2026-02-23, version 1.1.6*

This app is garbage! Most of the time it won’t play for you. You can refresh it doesn’t work. You can redownload the app it still doesn’t work. I don’t know why they don’t fix it!!

### 1/5 — Very unreliable

*2026-02-22, version 1.1.6*

Have to the minimum here and give it just one star. The app is unusable. Also bad on the Apple TV. No need to go into deal, but I can’t believe that the people at the station tolerate it.

### 5/5 — All of it

*2026-08-19, version 2.0*

They tell u full story until the  whole story is completed it reminds me of my home New York complete story not half or a drip complete work! They all speak so clearly Bo I hear comes from ny I like they have fun esp 4 pm team! Refreshing  Carolyn Barry

### 5/5 — Feed keeps stopping!!

*2026-07-29, version 2.0*

Feed keeps stopping, when it stops I switch back and forth between links on the app to
The news!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-01-31, version 1.1.0*

Being a cord-cutter, having WFMZ+ let’s me watch WFMZ again! Nice layout and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Works Well For Me

*2022-01-18, version 1.1.0*

the app didn't work for someone else who wrote a review but it works for me. 

i'm happy there's now a better way to stream the news since streaming on the other app and the website sometimes didn't work for me.

### 3/5 — APP Doesn’t load right

*2025-08-14, version 1.1.6*

Need to update your app

### 2/5 — Keeps freezing

*2026-07-27, version 2.0*

After thr last update, the app regularly freezes while watching the live stream or replays.  Not an issue as of yet on my android, just the iPhone version.   Phone is up to date as far as ios, and also been restarted twice.

### 2/5 — It's Good when it works but seldom does

*2026-02-21, version 1.1.6*

I used to use this app daily. Not sure what's changed but no matter if it's Apple TV or my phone I have to constantly restart the app sometimes 10-20x's. Than if you wanna switch to the weather same thing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I don't know what went wrong but it's been like this for months. Fix this please!!

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-12-24, version 1.1.6*

App says it does not collect any personal info from you. Upon installing it, the first thing it asks for is access to your location. Second, you must register for an account using your email or you cannot access any of the feeds.

Once loaded, the app does give you access to the WFMZ feeds. Unfortunately, it does not fully maximize to use all of the space on the screen even in the full screen mode.

Most annoyingly of all, the audio and video are far out of sync.

### 2/5 — Constant freeze-up

*2023-08-30, version 1.1.4*

The new and improved app constantly freezes up while watching. Requires totally exiting the app as it will not reload or continue.  I have had to delete the app and download fresh to get it to work.  Half the time it works just fine.  I really liked the previous version to be able to watch the news at my leisure on my smart devices.  This is so frustrating.  Please fix it.  (FYI, I am using an Iphone with the latest IOS version)

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work on Apple TV with latest update

*2023-02-27, version 1.1.4*

After latest update my WFMZ plus account which is registered doesn’t transfer to the Apple TV app apparently. Doesn’t let me watch live tv shows. Shows lock.  App worked fine prior to the update. I have tried to delete the app and reinstall but nothing is working.
