Leave a Review WOOD TV8
Awful app
Others have already said it. Story text is obscured by the video. Gigantic ads larger than the story itself make reading the stories you ARE able to see almost unbearable.
EDIT: So much wrong with this update. They’ve had sketchy updates in the past, but this one has to be the worst. Since the update, the weather page displays exactly the same number for the high temp and percent chance of precipitation. It has become so unusable that we have switched stations.Show lessseamus26
Most recent update took 3 GIANT steps backwards!
If I want to read about a story that has a video, instead of watching the video, only 2 lines of text show below the video.
Each time a new video plays, the volume is reset to zero. Having to turn it up, rather that turn it on to a preset level, is a pain.
I have stopped opening the app because it has gotten worse. On the upside, I have more time available away from this app.Show lessTrush 192
The new format
This app is not friendly user. It gets hung up in ads all the time, I like to read more than watch a video. Sports score part is terrible, and not kept up to date. It’s become more of a Ad site than a news site.Shdaowpup1
Local news- limited in depth
Decent place to get current local information but many of the articles lack depth in reporting.
The app is laid out well and is stable. Take care not to touch an area of the screen with an ad when scrolling to read an article. The ad will immediately open in your default browser which is really annoying.Show lessGH Joy
Your ad model is ridiculous
The number of ads in this app is far greater than the number of news stories. The ads randomly open other web pages and the App Store without me clicking on them. Here’s the best part there’s a whole section of ads that are like not ads but fake news ads that look just like the real news stories. It’s really shameful in my opinion. I’ve put up with it for years because I like to stay informed about my community. I’ve had enough though. Maybe I’ll try MLive instead.Show less8001690025
Best news service with the worst app ever
This app is garbage. Truly. Someone needs to say it. The advertisement that overlays the opening welcome screen (swipe up to remove) is beyond annoying. The volume of ads throughout the experience are painful. The strength of woodtv is your weather and your app makes it insanely hard to get any detailed forecast. The app is horrible. Honestly… at the risk of sounding like a Karen you really should throw it away and start over - this is genuinely a worst-in-class user experience. It has been for YEARs (even with your old app). Think you need to hire someone who knows what they are doing.Show lessCaddisbug1994
Good work love the app
I have no problems on the app whatsoever but the one bug that I have is that every time I try to go and watch early morning daybreak or eight W. or news eight at noon when I watch the live video I love watching that I enjoy the app big fan of wood TV8 love you guys I grew up watching wood TV8 and I love watching wood TV8 and it has all of the news and weather to watch and look out for! So keep updating and keep updating the app and maybe add some more features in new features and I would love to have wood TV eight on RokuShow lessJoedejong.mister horror?
Once upon a time Loved Wood TV 8
Among the many things that make viewing and listening to your content are the advertisements. I understand the need for commercials, but why have the banners during the news clip. They overlap the view and Wood TV programmers have chosen to disable the full screen mode. Come on what good is your app if people give up on the clumsiness of it. I’ve gone from a daily viewer to a rare viewer.Show lessBrindlet
Ads ads and more ads
I upgraded my iphone and now I have to be careful when I swipe up to close the intro ad I end up closing the app. Then I get to the story and after every paragraph there is an ad, I understand that ads are needed since the app is free but my goodness do we really need 5+ ads a story? Then I get the issue where the ad takes up my screen and every time I try to scroll past it the app thinks I clicked to see the ad and opens it my browser and I have to close the app to get out of that loop. Easy fix is to just have a ad banner that stays at the top or bottom and just scrolls different ads, not to hard. The swiping to get rid of the intro ad can be a click button, solved…Show lessring6992
Hard to say good things…
This app is now completely “stuffed” with app-slowing ads. Adding to the madness, many ads are duplicated numerous times throughout the articles. In fact, there is one big ad box that must be removed b4 even seeing anything.
There are also ad links to hoards of phony news articles that, to me, puts in question this news organization’s credibility. In short, this app quality went from Excellent to Poor over the many years I have used it; disappointing to say the least.Show lessJdjwndjjsjs
