User Reviews for WGAL News 8

Convenient but not the best news app.

I am not a fan of read or hear the news, because most of them are about negative or violent issues. I understand the importance about knowing what is going on around and this app makes its job. However, the amount of adds is really annoying! So after a couple of minutes trying to concentrate on the news being interrupted with publicity, I’m done and I turn it off.I highly appreciate the weather alerts though, that’s why still I keep it.

The best news in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

I followed WGAL since they still have PM Magazine hosted by Doug Allen and Kim Lemon.Until now I still follow WGAL. They all work as a team. The journalists, cameraman, and technical supports work together side by side to representing WGAL. They all did a fantastic job and the way I see them they are likes, One big happy family. They always treat each other with respect and dignity. I love them all, the journalists, the cameramen, and all technical supports, and I love WGAL. Keep up the good work.Love,Diet.

Commercial overload

I like catching up on the news in the morning while getting ready for the day ahead and enjoy the morning news crew. However, although I understand the need for commercial ads, I find the running of 5-6 ads in one break or the repetition of the same ad over & over, sometimes within the same break, very annoying - so much so that I inevitably turn off the app and switch to another news source.

Movies??? Not!!

I really am disappointed when I click on a movie, wait 30 seconds OR MORE for it to buffer, and find out It is just a photo with a caption with the camera moving in and out, or the movie is set to music and you have to read the caption s. If I wanted to read it ( no glasses at the moment) I would have read the article. Also because my eyes are are getting older it would make it so much easier if I could enlarge the article or picture on my phone screen to see it better. Can this be fixed?

Too Many Advertisements!

Advertisements often load BEFORE the news. Does anyone use this App for the purpose of viewing the advertisements?We realize advertisements are necessary, but are they the first things we must see? Occasionally the advertisements fail to load properly and then the App freezes.Only four stars since, as a news service, you obviously have your priorities inverted.

Decent basic news coverage

I would love to be able to actually read an entire article once. Articles just end mid-sentence and are missing entire parts, which is pretty lame. There’s always room for ads but not complete stories? Also the app keeps freezing when selecting a story to view from the main headlines page. I have to close the app, clear it from queue, re-open and try again. Sometimes several times. And PLEASE change the stories that have been on here for months!! I think everyone has seen the squirrel and dogs by now.

Not the best app. Too many ads to go thru before getting to the news story. You guys need to look at WRAL in Raleigh, NC. Now that's what a good app looks like.July 18- Not the best app. Too many ads to go thru before getting to the news story. You guys need to look at WRAL in Raleigh, NC. Now that's what a good app looks like. Except since NBC took them over from CBS news was treated more factually and now alt-left group think. Don’t become one of those apps that only are negative about our country and leaders. Other wise the weather app is nice. But when I finish reading an article and go back to main menu you have to start scrolling thru same stuff to get back to where u were. Fix that.

Ads, Ads, and more Ads!

This is the local station so I’m stuck with what they put out...and it sure isn’t much! Same repetitive ads for any story you click on and they are usually for just a few seconds of worthless content. What ever happened to: what, where, when, who, and why when reporting the news. Most always you get one, maybe two, of the W’s. Really poor coverage.The weather page, my most frequent, is nearly as poor. Very, very limited information. I don’t even bother with any of the junk they put out. Why waste time any further. Such a shame, we need a good news site but we are stuck with this. Get rid of all those ancient news people, they are just dragging down the whole place now. Get up with the times, get fresh new good people and good looking people that are at least pleasant to look at while you boar the crap out of us. Wake up WGAL!

Disappointed to be disappointed

The only thing I can really rate this app on is it’s notifications and headline page, which really is a bummer, because I absolutely despise the news, but WGAL is the one news network I will watch or read because I actually trust their information. The app however would completely close out on me any time I clicked on a link, so I was never able to really navigate or do much on the app. I still love WGAL and visit the website daily, but as for the app, I can’t say much about it, but I sure hope it gets figured out!

Good app to get local news

I like the app for local news and for getting alerts to things happening in our area. What I DON’T like - and really one of the few things negative - is that when reading an article, an ad will cover part of the text! Aggravating as all get out! Other than that, a good source for local news.
