I could care less about sports, and it seems I’m constantly getting bombarded with articles about teams and their scores. I have half a mind to turn off notifications just to get it to stop!! ### 2/5 — Minimal functionality *2021-10-08* This doesn’t work in landscape and will not flip in portrait, allowing only one aspect. There are often headlines but no body following it and no obvious way to locate the actual story. On the plus side, the annoying advertisements that appear in the middle of the story (when the story is actually shown) are fairly short and appropriately are removed when finished. ### 2/5 — Won’t work in landscape. *2019-07-28, version 7.17.0* This app doesn’t appear to work in landscape mode. Most annoying. ### 2/5 — Video is muted *2018-02-24, version 7.1.0* No sound on videos. Please fix! ### 1/5 — This app is terrible *2017-12-15, version 7.0.13* Over and above the clunky flow of the app, it is packed with advertisements that overwhelm the experience with banner ads that keep coming up. This is there worse release yet. ### 1/5 — I'm done with this app *2017-11-24, version 7.0.12* Closes out. Very rarely get new stories or updates. I keep giving it chances, but I'm done. Finding something better ### 3/5 — Can I search *2017-09-15* I wanted to look up an old story, maybe 2 weeks old. It's not easy at all to search for a story. I did find a way to search, but I have no clue how I did it, or how to get back to it. Should be a more obvious way to "search". ### 3/5 — Much improved *2017-08-04, version 7.0.5* I gave this app a bad review, it seems they decided to do something with this app thanks. ### 1/5 — Broken!!!!!! *2017-07-14, version 7.0.4* 7-14-17 Still Broken! Won't even install now. Used to use this app daily but now won't open. Please fix it! ### 1/5 — DISAPPOINTED!! *2017-06-19, version 7.0.0* Glad to see I'm not the only one where this update doesn't work. Looked at every day for my news. Now doesn't even open. Please fix and fast! ### 1/5 — iPad Issues *2017-06-17* Update June 2017: DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ON IPAD! The App refuses to open! They promote it all the time on air, but it's not worth the time to install or memory to keep! ------------------------------------------ This release works well on the iPhone. The iPad is another matter. Very slow to load and will not orient to landscape format. Irritating! Just updated to ver. 6.7.0. On the iPad it still won't orient to landscape. The word wrap is terrible. Each line is run off the page regardless of the text size. About ready to delete it and forget it! Updated to 6.8.0. Still no landscape support for the iPad! Word wrap has improved, but the whole thing is irritating. They push this app over the air, but they won't take the time to fix it! Reducing rating to 2 stars due to lack of functionality! ### 1/5 — Unable to open app *2017-06-16, version 7.0.0* I used to read news every day on wwmt app. Will not open after last update. Hopefully will be fixed soon ### 1/5 — Norm *2017-03-04, version 6.12.0* App only loads to 50 percent, displays no icon thus no list for selection. Very bad app...... ### 2/5 — App Store won't quit loading *2017-01-18, version 6.12.0* Some stories you click on, it sends you to the App Store over and over and have to exit app. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — App no longer working *2017-01-15, version 6.11.8* After latest update articles won't load content and app freezes. Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very poor dishonest reporting tonight by Dominiani and Hawthorn *2024-07-24* While these 2 anchors were praising Kamala, they forgot to mention her strong work as border czar? She does not care about our nation, was a part in Bidenomics that have hurt the middle and lower class citizens severely, and makes a literal fool out of herself with comments like “The passage of time!” She also raised millions to help blm rioters back on the street after they murdered Retired Police officer David Dorn and after one was released by her, he came back and beat a poor woman nearly to death! I might add “Princess”, you may wish to fact check your foolish comments about Harris and you don’t need to post a ridiculous picture of president Trump like you did, how would you appreciate your not so sweet democratic feelings against over 100 million people! Do you not care he was an inch or less from being assassinated 11 days ago? Please refrain from answering that because it was so disgusting the news coverage tonight without discussing the democrat elites staging a literal coup against president Biden? Why not? Well we understand that his comments were not actually his own, rather several experts have proof his voice speaking to Kamala were actually “AI”, something Kamala is unfamiliar with? Also Prime minister Netanyahu is speaking in a joint session of Congress tomorrow, and where will Kamala be? Certainly not next to Mike Johnson as president of the senate that she is, rather, she is despicably “protesting”his appearance as she is on the side of Hamas who holds many of our citizens hostage, and Israel is our top Ally just so you realize this all of you at “News Channel 3”, but let’s just see how “your candidate fares against President Trump? By the way do any of you even care about the Secret Service’s lapse of protecting President Trump or Cory who was shot and murdered by the attempted assassin while he shielded his wife and daughter against the bullets that almost ended President Trump’s life but tragically ended his life Cory’s? Incidentally 2 other patriots were seriously injured but you all only care about praising a person who has no chance of winning because of the Democrat’s failed policies they cannot defend? Shame on you all at WWMT! ### 1/5 — Logo only screen? *2023-01-16* This cannot properly be called an app. All you get is the station logo on a blank screen. Are we supposed to wait 5 minutes or longer for something to show up? But still nothing shows up other than the logo? Something is radically wrong with this so-called “app”. ### 1/5 — Fix the app *2022-11-23, version 7.38.0* When I open an article it won’t let me click the back button at the top left. iPhone 14 pro max lasted updates are installed. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-01-10, version 7.35.0* Shows ads and then is stuck on we’ll be right back screen…good and terrible. ### 1/5 — Blech *2021-11-05, version 7.35.0* Doesn’t really report on local news, especially if they prefer to get bribes or special treatment from powerful companies taking advantage of employees. Journalism, don’t make waves, just stay safely behind your desk doing feel good pieces. ### 1/5 — app runs hot *2020-05-25* I would like to know why the app causes my iphone to run hot? what is the app doing in the background that would cause iphones to run hot and damage the battery? this is my second iphone this app has literally destroyed the battery due to causing the phone to run so hot you can’t hold on to the phone after a while. again what is this app doing in the background??? ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-04-29* I live in St. Jo County and yesterday afternoon there was a stand off with the Police and even the Swat Team in Three Rivers. And there was an accident on Covered Bridge Road and not one word about either on the 5-6:30pm news. Not every story has to be about the virus. There was 1 accident on (I believe) center street reported. Thank God the mail carrier story mad the cut. Disappointed!!!!! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2020-02-28, version 7.27.0* Extremely glitches. Articles will not load! ### 1/5 — Update broke app *2020-02-27, version 7.27.0* The text of the articles now appears as black boxes..... ### 1/5 — Sad *2018-02-22, version 7.1.0* Things done run smell at all the closure apps for school closings will not allow you to login and sign up and app keeps freezing When watching video ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cop stopped me from going into ALDI. *2024-12-11* Grateful, I shopped at “Dollar Tree” and another store; before trying to shop at ALDI’s. Thx b2 God! 😊 ### 5/5 — Notifications *2019-09-21* App has come a long way, but it would be nice to have an option to customize notifications. I want breaking local news alerts, but high school football scores flashing on my screen every 5 minutes on a Friday night gets annoying. ### 5/5 — I like it! *2019-08-23* It keeps me up to date on important news items. I also enjoy seeing the pictures that people are sending in. I really like the stories about animals. ### 5/5 — Password *2015-03-04, version 2.5* Password ### 5/5 — Good *2014-05-11, version 2.4.3* Pretty good and helpful ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2013-09-11, version 2.1.7* Just installed this app and I'm impressed! Many selections including watching live newscasts! ### 4/5 — Review *2024-04-26* I like using the app. I wish they would get rid of the white letters and update it daily. I love the alerts and keeping up with things in Kalamazoo especially when I’m on vacation. ### 4/5 — Good but not great *2014-01-08, version 2.4.2* Well I just got the app and it ask me some stuff I went to wether and look at radar an it charsh but I got back on I was fine. ### 4/5 — Better then the old app.... *2013-03-17, version 2.1.3* No crashes or constant NEW banner. Hopefully they keep the content updated. ### 3/5 — It works *2025-10-23* App really needs the ability to stream the live broadcast on Apple TV, like their competition. The ability to select the type of alerts would help as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
