My Go To Source

I go here for weather as you can get it at the top of the hour and 10 minutes in ; the app is good for weather and tracking radar and they are very accurate; I go here for news and the newscasters are friendly but professional while speaking to the audience and with each other and have managed even speaking from home when needed in these Covid timesJE

News app 8

I’m happy you have this. I’ve called in a few times to say the watch now red band wasn’t there. Someone should open the app on their phone at 4 to check if it’s working right. Another weird thing is when I get the message we will be right back, as I’m waiting and nothing is happening, I’ll hit the double arrow fast forward button, and it comes up a little bit into the report. Definitely have someone monitor the output and document it.

WMTW App

I like to check the weather before letting the kids out of the house to go to the bus stop for school.I just have a few things that should be updated. The first thing I find very difficult is trying to find specific articles that you are looking to read. I have also came across several articles that are old. Some of the articles are several months old and not to mention years old. You really need to check out your website and see for your self

Not bad for the most part

Getting the weather forecast on demand is helpful. However any push notification I get I have to wait usually 15 minutes or more before the story actually shows up on the app to read. Also the content as you scroll down often times is old like months and months old so whomever is in charge of updating everything needs to spend more time keeping everything up to date. I usually have to go to the website to see more recent stuff which defeats the purpose of having the app.

A Ok

Over all the air prefer ends quickly and nicely. But when accessing the live streaming of the news that’s where it gets very annoying. Do not like when ads pop up immediately when trying to access the live newsfeed, the return to full screen button does not always work and it closes the live news and puts those stupid ads. You miss part of the news forever how many seconds it takes to return to the news.

Not bad. Could be better.

I really like this app. But there seems to be an issue at times with the radar map refresh rate. Sometimes it loads very fast an other times not at all. I remember when using the radar and hitting the play button the map would go back maybe an hour or two. But it’s going back as far as 6 hours or so. This is to much. Why does it go back so far in time. An hour back is just fine. Is there a way to fix this. I use this app a lot. An waiting for the map to catch up from a six hour loop is a pain In The but and a waste of time. please fix. Thanks.

Advertisements Get in the Way

Like everything about Channel 8- it’s our ‘go-to’ station so I wanted to use this app exclusively for news. I find that the blocks used for advertising cut off sentences describing the article however, and I’ve lost information. There is no transition to the next paragraph located under the advertisement. This is very annoying as I don’t know how important that info could have been. Not sure if it’s the format, or something I could tweak on my iPhone, but I dislike having to access PPH to get the complete version of the story. Fix it please?

Some special interest articles linger too long.

I have been viewing this news app for over a year now and I do like reading the news every day on the site. My biggest pet peeve is some of the special interest articles are kept on the site for months. And also when the news is posted and the story is still developing, the site will say about updating it as they receive more information-many times it never occurs. Frustrating in both instances...

App is good for 3 stars but could be a five star with less ads!

Love to watch the news on TV when I can. I do like the breaking news alerts on my cell when I don’t have the News channel on at the time. However the app is an excellent app to read but if you want to watch a video you have to watch like a 30 sec. ad for each and every video and most story’s are just a bit longer then the ad itself. Do like one ad for every 3 video stories or even better like 5 stories and make the app a 5 star!

Mostly good

I really appreciate being able to see the weather forecast video whenever it’s convenient for me. I also check in on the live feed when storms are brewing. Like others have said, I just wish there weren’t so many ads. I have to plan ahead to make sure I can get through the ads before the live forecast. It does seem like the number of ads at start up has gotten better and I appreciate being able to skip an ad, so thank you for that.
