Riiight…. *2026-07-08, version 5.15.2202* This app alerts you for every single “news” story they cover. Fluff pieces are not breaking news. I have so many of the alerts un-checked (politics, sports, etc.), but I get them anyways. I love the news station, but the app is trash. ### 2/5 — iPhone 14 *2026-06-11, version 5.15.2175* Live now broadcast function does not work on iPhone 14 with latest updates. ### 3/5 — Coverage *2026-02-12, version 5.15.2031* I don’t think news coverage is enough for Pickens and Oconee counties. We very seldom see news that is relevant to us. We get better coverage from Malarkey News on Facebook. Sorry but it’s true. I mostly only watch News 4 for the weather. The weather coverage is awesome. ### 2/5 — Weather reports *2025-12-27, version 5.15.1942* Live Local Breaking New. Not local for 75% of what’s reported ### 2/5 — Too Much Upstate and Stale News *2025-11-18, version 5.15.1913* This app really overuses the term “Upstate” in its news articles. Why don’t you just give a city or county location so the reader can determine if the news affects them or is close to them. And why do so many articles remain on the site for days with no updates. ### 4/5 — To many advertisements *2025-06-27, version 5.15.1781* Advertise after the news and up dates . Not before ! ### 3/5 — Multiple notices *2024-12-11, version 5.15.1526* Generally ok but in the evening I get multiple notices on the same story. Very annoying. ### 2/5 — Find another app *2024-09-25, version 5.15.1498* If you like to watch a 35 second ad to see a 9 second weather update. Then this app is for you ### 3/5 — Crash superstar *2024-08-19, version 5.15.1476* Crashes all the time. Updated to current version still extremely unreliable. ### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down *2024-08-10, version 5.15.1476* I have been using this for years and recently, it has started shutting down in the middle of reading a story or browsing new stories. I will start using. Different news app if this can’t be fixed. I am unable to even finish reading! ### 3/5 — Pops back *2024-08-08, version 5.15.1476* App keeps closing out of stories. Very annoying! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate the ads *2026-03-12, version 5.15.2086* Difficult to navigate. Same stories stay on site for days with no update. Will probably delete this app. Too many ads. The same ad before any video just like the Weather Channel. I pay to watch The Weather channel without ads. WYFF isn’t worth paying to watch even if that was an option. ### 1/5 — Getting around *2026-02-04, version 5.15.1997* It’s very hard to get around ### 1/5 — Audio is annoying *2025-03-18, version 5.15.1642* I don't like the way you click on a story to read it and audio comes on. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-02-20, version 5.15.1618* This app continues to crash, I can’t even scroll down to pick a story to read without it bouncing all over the place. Can’t read a thing. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Worst App *2025-01-29, version 5.15.1567* Too many adds ### 1/5 — Gimmicky *2025-01-28, version 5.15.1567* App shows you vague headlines to get you to click into the app where you are bombarded with ads. The videos play without asking and the volume is always on, even if your phone is on silent. Overall just not built well. ### 1/5 — bad app *2024-12-21, version 5.15.1549* really have two main qualms: articles are difficult to read because of the incessant advertisements; there are multiple unskippable video ads that play as you try to read anything. that, and you cant control what notifications you get, so you’re just bombarded with every story or nothing. ### 1/5 — Crashes frequently *2024-08-16, version 5.15.1476* Whenever I tap on a story, weather, etc. the app crashes. This began happening after the “update to fix bugs”. No news is posted over the weekend. It’s as if the news took the weekend off. ### 1/5 — App isn’t working well *2024-08-16, version 5.15.1476* It’s a shame because I enjoy the local content, but the glitches now make it nearly impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Fix the constant refreshing! *2024-08-10, version 5.15.1476* The app is unusable. You can’t read anything without the app refreshing back to the top of the home page every 30 seconds. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WYFF News 4 rocks!!!!!!! *2026-07-25, version 5.15.2202* I enjoyed the WYFF News 4 app and it was awesome! ### 5/5 — Radar *2025-12-04, version 5.15.1913* Weather ### 5/5 — News *2025-06-13, version 5.15.1772* I love this News Station, I turn to Channel 4 to bring me accurate News. ### 5/5 — WYFF *2025-03-02, version 5.15.1618* Love WYFF News 4, the only news station in SC I will trust.
