News4Jax - WJXT Channel 4 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Still hanging onI have had your app and have been a fan of your nightly news for many years. I have noticed News4Jax seems to be more liberal biased the way your articles/stories are written which is frustrating because news media is notorious for pushing agendas/narratives instead of from a biased position. I see it more so in the articles published on your app versus on the nightly news. I also notice many spelling errors, missing words, and grammatical errors in the app articles which I didn’t notice up until the last year or two. I will continue to count on you guys for my local news just concerned about the bias and quality of the news I have been seeing..Version: 2400220
✓ Breaking NewsLove this app and the ability to have news updates at my fingertips. However, I do have one complaint and that is when I get the alert for breaking news I have to watch a 30 second commercial. If I get kicked out of the feed for any reason I have to watch another 30 second commercial and miss part of the breaking news. Very frustrating..Version: 2400223
✓ This App Wastes My TimeUnlike the Weather Channel app ( with its option for $3.99 of no ads for a year), this poorly designed app has no option to get rid of the constant drivel. They’re even embedded in every video, including the ones that warn of traffic conditions. As if that wasn’t enough of a disincentive, the feeds are political and largely rebranded from CNN. I don’t need political bias in my news. There are better ways of getting the information I need on a quick basis without wasting my time..Version: 240015
✓ Horrible streamingReally poor quality streaming to my brand new very updated iPad. I don’t know why you keep dropping coverage of the Cherish case. I want to follow this case live so when I go to bed at night praying Donald Smith is given the death penalty when he’s found guilty, I can sleep well bc I’ve heard the testimony. Everybody in comments is commenting on this. Fix it please!.Version: 240011
✓ App no longer looked at hardly at allUsed to look at the News4jax app all the time multiple times a day. I didn't even need to watch other news including NEWs4JAX on tv because I was always up to date. I get tired of being notified of news I have to turn the tv on to watch, that is why I have the app is to read it. By the time I turn it on it is over. I have kept it only so I can check traffic reports once in a while for my husbands drive home. Wish you would change not only your mobile app but also your on line app that you have recently changed also. Bring us recent news in an easy to read format please. Now I am also checking Firstcoastnews which we have never done. Please please, quit sending me multiple notifications that I have rain in my current area or lightening every tenth of a mile, go back to your old weather program it was so much more accurate and so much more up to date because we were not watching radar from 55 minutes ago. I want to know where the weather is currently not an hour ago please. Put the new news first every day of the 7 days of the week please. Also, please do not read this on the Air nor share my information because I do not know how to block it. Thank you..Version: 240009
✓ What is with the REPETITIVE COMMERCIALS!?!Great weather, news, team, and helpful information. HORRIBLY REPETITIVE COMMERCIALS! I have often counted commercials repeating back-to-back, for 8-11 times in a row. It’s obnoxious! New4Jax should put a message on their screen “Be Right Back,” instead of 4-6 minutes of the SAME 25 second commercials repeated; or a variety of commercials. It’s a shame—I enjoy the news itself, but with these repetitive commercials, I will be deleting this and finding another local news channel to watch..Version: 2400212
✓ Changed for the worstI grew up watching this news station. My parents always had the Morning Show on as we got ready for school. Now that I have my own family and children, I can’t stand to suffer through the program anymore. I downloaded the app to keep abreast of important events. It was a way to stay informed with my busy life. During the hurricane the app wouldn’t even work. Most of the stories posted are based CNN reporting. This station has shown its true liberal bias as it “reports” the news. If I wanted 10 different stories on CNN’s reporting about gun control then I would have downloaded their app. Heaven help your patience if there is a storm moving through. I’ll get updates every 5 seconds of ‘moderate rain’ detected in the area. Get your act together. No one wants your political bias shoved down their throat. You are losing your audience..Version: 240013
✓ More commercials than TV!The alerts on this thing is extremely annoying/aggravating — especially for someone with an AppleWatch! I don’t want to know that every two seconds there’s a shooting in Northern Jax — that’s typical. Aside from areas that should be nuked (in a perfect world), the situation became such that I filtered notifications down to traffic only — since that’s what I came here for. So when it puts up a blip on my phone for a piece of interest only to throw 13 — THIRTEEN hawkin’ COMMERCIALS at me — I’m like... screw this!.Version: 240019
✓ App doesn’t open to the story you get notification forToo often the app won’t open to the story that popped up on your notification. That’s extremely annoying! The pop up grabs your attention so you click it - and then you have to spend 10 minutes trying to find that exact story. Sometimes you give up because it’s not there listed anywhere obvious. Why? So annoying!.Version: 2400221
✓ Relentless Farrah & Farrah ads!1) very often stories have absolutely no follow up or further info, even if they say “developing” just drop off completely 2) the Farrah video ads come up if you select a news event. Even if there’s a hurricane or serious emergency, the video, time & battery has to be wasted waiting thru the ridiculous videos! 3) no one gets back to you if you email them about an issue.Version: 240038
✓ PoorI have use this app for many years. Now it only works occasionally. The weather part is ok but the “pins” portion is ridiculous. This past year they began removing my information and make an impossible to sign in. Contacted the app techs and was able to sign in using a new email but can’t change any personal profile information. I am no longer a pin user with my name, I’m only called “Pin User”. They won’t allow me to update my profile. And it signs out all by itself! So I no will no longer use this app nor recommend it. This Christian will find a new place to interact with my community and post my weather pictures. Cancel culture at its best. Florida Joy is going elsewhere.Version: 2400223
✓ Biased and PanderingIt is funny, but very sad, the amount of grammar and spelling mistakes that are found in their written articles. Too lazy or too low information-ridden to use the most common word processing function. Especially ironic when found in articles about the local school system and the low quality of that educational system. Almost exclusively a media outlet for the huge “no-go” areas of Jacksonville..Version: 2400223
✓ Live news feed NEVER worksI downloaded this app because I moved away and still wanted to be kept up to date on local news as my family still lives in the Jacksonville area. In the beginning this app worked great, however in the last 3 months or so I try to watch live news at 5:30am and there is no live feed. Instead I get to watch the same commercial 5 times in a row. I hope someone realizes that this problem needs some attention..Version: 240017
✓ Annoying pop up lawyer adsThere is nothing more annoying than to have an ad open up and start playing without my clicking on it. Sometimes while reading the news in a quiet place, these lawyer ads start shouting from my phone !!! One more time and your app gets deleted and I will never call the lawyers who are advertising in this most annoying manner !!! Thumbs down to you for allowing this type of advertisement on your app. 👎👎👎.Version: 240033
✓ Not fair and balanced above the local levelSadly, as an independent voter, I find the reliance on syndicated and polarizing sources for stories, disheartening. I down loaded the app for the purposes of keeping up with the local news as provided by my “local news team.” I would ignore the national and international coverage as I knew it was not coming from them. But it seems to have gotten to the point that, at least on the app, agendas are being pushed and varying perspectives are being ignored over and above providing local news and information. Don’t we get enough of that on social media?.Version: 2400219
✓ Not very usefulHave depended on his app for hometown news when I am out of the country - and when I am in JAX. This app has continued to disappoint me. When you click on The “national and world news” it never has any world news. It’s as if TV4 thinks the USA alone is the only country in the world. I don’t know who controls the stories that are displayed, but it’s a pitiful selection of one or two items that are only tangentially “international.” A person would be better off sticking their head in the sand. I’m disappointed - still..Version: 2400200
✓ ReportingI appreciate your weather reports and local coverage, but I don’t appreciate that you make so many reports to be race related. We are all Americans and we all should be working together to make our communities a living and caring community for our children. You do not have to bring race into your reports just because there are a few politicians and citizens that are trying to cause division. You are enabling them with that type of reporting. Unfortunately, I am looking at other local stations that are not doing this. On another note, I would like to tell you how much we enjoyed talking with the 2 young men (reporter and camera man) in Callahan BBQ while our community was suffering from the loss of our Deputy Josh Moyers. These young men were so friendly and talked with us. No one gave it a second thought concerning the color of their skin. They were amazing young men just there to do their jobs. I believe the reporters name is Riley and I can’t remember the cameraman’s name. Great young men!.Version: 2400223
✓ Too many adsI know you make money from ads but if it’s breaking news or the governor or president is speaking live, stop showing your stupid ads or at least give me the ability to skip it after 5 seconds. Having to listen for 30 seconds is ridiculous. And if I accidentally go to another screen or take a call, don’t make me listen to another ad all over again. You should be billionaires for all the ads you make us watch. I just don’t look at the phone and skip them when I can..Version: 2400223
✓ ReviewI would really like to see an opinion section. I would like To be able to voice my opinion and see opinions of other readers Im surprised you don’t have an opinion section and that you make it so difficult to,post opinions. It should be included in the news I get on your app.Version: 2400219
✓ Used to love this app the best but not anymoreIve had this app for years but Ive slowly noticed how News4Jax view politics and News4jax like many others has decided to lean one way or another. They're quick to post about stories based on their views. I like to personally view multiple news sources of which tend to stay down the middle with things. News4Jax has taken a side and their not afraid to show it. Some of us like to know the facts of things going on in our areas as well as within the world without being pushed to believe one side or another. Politics tend to get the best of some people, Ill be sad to see you go. Deleting my app and I don’t personally watch the news so I find other sources to read and Ill also be deleting you all from fb. Stop becoming part of the problem, maybe we need to push to #DEFUNDTHEMEDIA..Version: 2400213
✓ Disappointing lingo.Grammar and writing style very disappointing at times. Grammar at grade school level or worse, street slang. Is this from cub reporters in training? Don’t know, but suspect it. Proofreading is often nonexistent. Cub reporters must be writing at a sports bar. Incorrect pronoun placement and reference often leads to hysterical scripts. Well, perhaps not for your mainstream audience. Must be attributable to budget cuts or the new age of unseasoned unreason. I called up the owner in ORD and spoke to her gatekeeper; they were absolutely blasé about it. I offered to edit in an attempt to improve their writing caliber. Didn’t take me up on it. So- live within thy ignorance. I’ve given up trying to alert them to tighten up; I just forward screen shots to people that appreciate good writing and enjoy a laugh. Whatever..Version: 240033
✓ Bias NewsIt seem that News4Jax has turned bias on their reporting of the news local or national. I’ve been watching News4Jax for over 20 years and it always use to be fair and true reporting with facts, not personal opinion. Since it went private, the news appears to be the opinion of whomever Is in charge or producing the shows. Using facts seem to be not worthy. Recently a few of the news anchors have slipped up and shown or voiced their personal opinions on the shows. It would be wonderful if Jacksonville could get back a news station that reports the news honestly and fairly using facts even of the facts show good or bad..Version: 2400219
✓ Stop with the notifications!Look, I like to get notified when events when they happen. However, NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE A NOTIFICATION EMERGENCY! Even with only weather as a notification they feel it necessary to notify me with breaking news. Everything was turned off and I was still getting a ridiculous amount of notifications. Let me chose what notifications I get and don’t go out of your lane..Version: 2400223
✓ Good but needs workThe app itself is good. I am always far from home and like news from this outlet. I just wish more care was taken to proofread the articles as there are too many simple grammar errors and poor sentence structures which sometimes overshadows the great content. I don't care if the news is not "bleeding edge" as long as the content is solid and the message is readable. Bottom line: Great journalism but someone obviously skipped way too many Language Arts/Grammar classes growing up..Version: 240009
✓ The rise and fall of channel 4Once channel 4 was a great news station. I watched it for over 40 yrs. Now it's become a station that stirs the pot and has basically become Pro left and anti Trump. Only reason most watch it is for the weather. Even your news people are biased. You've lost customers, sponsorships, and now viewers. Maybe one day you'll gain them back. But with the one sided News and no real programming to speak off, it's going to be along road. Signed an American..Version: 240009
