Weather is very minimal for the areas West of Quincy in Missouri. We could use some updates too. ### 3/5 — New setup of WGEM news *2018-09-06* I can honestly say I really liked the old format of the news much better. I find this new format harder to read and actually the news for the individual states ie: Iowa etc. quite hard to read and a boring layout. Just my opinion. I read it every morning. Tracy Brown ### 3/5 — Bring back previous version *2016-08-07* Not happy with this newest app version, will no longer work in landscape mode on iPad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2024-05-22* This is possibly the most disappointing app I’ve downloaded. If I want to see news and weather from a thousand miles away I have multiple other, and much better, apps for that. ### 1/5 — KHQA *2023-12-31* I’m always WGEM. But the only thing local was maybe a commercial after watching an hour it’s by far a waste of time! ### 1/5 — App *2023-03-04* This app is no good the old app is much much much better way easier to work and look at. 😡😡 ### 1/5 — Really? *2021-10-20* Don’t fire people for stupid reasons. ### 1/5 — Update *2019-07-10* Every time I want to read a story it tells me I need to update. Guess what, I am updated to the current version!! I am removing it. ### 1/5 — Failed to make agreement with Dish *2018-09-17* Very upset that an agreement was not made. ### 1/5 — Not updated *2018-09-10* The news is not updated often enough. Weekends is never hardly updated and you have to see the same stories from Friday until sometime late Monday morning. It used to be an awesome app that had the most current news always. ### 1/5 — Will not open! *2016-12-20* App used to work well but now it will not even open. Really glad there is other options for local news. ### 1/5 — Won't download *2015-01-04, version 1.2* I've tried and tried and it won't download. It says it cannot be downloaded at this time try again later. 😡 ### 2/5 — Illinois news *2026-02-11* No news from WGEM or very little on Illinois policy which should be on your news. Our governor or our taxes or Chicago running our views. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great news *2026-05-22* Really like this ### 5/5 — It’s ok *2020-11-18* It works. ### 5/5 — WGEM app *2018-11-26* Most up to date app I’ve ever had ### 5/5 — Cool awesome *2015-09-28, version 1.3* Just I can't explain it that is how awesome it is 👌💕 ### 4/5 — New format isnt so good *2018-09-14* I liked the old format much much better , i believe you should go back to it . You fixed something that wasnt broken and now it is . ### 4/5 — Dish drop WGEM *2018-09-07* We pay good money for dish to get tv and now we can’t even get WGEM ### 4/5 — Rape victims *2018-09-06, version 4.30.450041606* Please don’t “out” rape victim by printing suspects relationship to victim. For example .. Couple of days ago. The rape in Hannibal you guys said the victim was the suspect ex girlfriend. Please don’t do this. Hard enough for victims to report sex crimes. Thank you ### 4/5 — WGEM not working *2017-04-10* Every time I open the app, I get a message that says, "Error loading, sorry there was an error loading this content". I've gotten this message ever since I did the last update around April 1. Oddly enough, I get the exact same error when I open Hawaii News Now app. Both were update the same day and look to be pretty much identical in how they are structured. I hope you can help me to back out to the previous version or is there something I can do to correct this one and/or both. Thank you for your assistance. ### 3/5 — Updated news? *2020-12-29* It always seems like the news is 3 days old...need to update more often! ### 3/5 — Weather Warnings *2019-04-24* We didn’t receive any weather warnings from WGEM the day of high winds and large hail in Center Missouri. I did receive a warning from KSDK in St. Louis. I enjoy your notifications, but there could be improvements on weather notifications. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
