  • App glitches

    I like the news updates/notifications. But the app isn’t setup in a manner where you see relative information in one place. I like the way it was organized before they revamped it. It also just shuts down on me sometimes. But I like the instant news notifications.
  • Live streaming is great, when it works!

    I love to watch News 8 on my iPad using the live streaming feature! I run into a lot of problems though with it just stopping, or fast forwarding, or going blank. Not sure where these issues are coming from. What I HATE about live streaming is when the program cuts to commercial and the ads blared at FULL BLAST!!!! Please, how about some volume control? I’m not deaf!!

  • Improving to three stars

    Have made some improvements. Not having to watch repeated commercials with each video I click on. Still too many though. Sensationalism is still too high. Also 8 will many times report one side of a story. Get both sides and report “fairly”. What is reported as racism isn’t racism once all the facts are sought. Not in the best interest of the community.

  • So many outdated stories

    Want to check on the Tigers? Ok, if you want to know what they did two weeks ago. Many of their links aren’t updated so they’re virtually useless.
  • Stop the auto-play

    The most recent version of the app is incredibly frustrating! I would like to be able to check the weather details without the video forecast playing automatically with no clear option for stopping it. Please fix this!
  • Adds pop up

    This is weird as I see adds pop up in the app. Even when you go to the website there are adds. It’s not easy to find information like weather or news without some stupid add popping up or it not loading the page. So, rating it 2 stars is actually being nice. Might just delete it.
  • Too many ads

    I really prefer to get news and weather info from channel 8, but there are way too many ads thrown in my face. I hit the x to get rid of them and an told "we'll try not to show that ad again" and the same one immediately pops up! Please do something about this. I come to get news and weather not see advertisements. If this doesn't stop I will go elsewhere!

  • Fewer crashes

    Finally a platform that is as useful as it is informative. The crashes have stopped but the screen freezes every now and then. The redesigned home page is logical and intuitive. You’ve come a long way baby.
    That was then. The crashes are back and the screen lockup’s are a new benefit.
  • Quick updates

    It’s a quick way for me to stay informed. They refresh their news updates constantly.
  • News 8 lifer

    Have been ‘with’ WOOD my entire life. (Over 45 yrs) and this is where I’ll stay. Never really read the paper, but always keep informed here @ news8. When I found out I could receive info via my fone, I signed right up. Never had any trouble or problems. 😊 Thank you!
