App crashes

The app crashes way too much. Needs a lot of work before I’ll be back. I’m going to Fox.

Not happy

Too many ads

Deleting after years

The colors are awful. I don't want a video to play on top. Tons of ads

New app is aweful

Graphics Graphics Graphics

Ads. Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads

To, I guess distract you from no content.. or content that takes you yo lots more graphics and lots more ads to even hope of a story … actual News

8 has lost their core purpose - to bring us news - in flash and superfluous nonsense. Pretty… maybe, but I always counted on you for NEWS!!!!

Delete the 8 app now

App options

I wish you had an option to view the app the way it was

Upgrade Sucks

I’m not a fan of the video autoplay when trying to READ the news articles. Thinking this is a glitch that you’re working on, I’m going to give it a month before deleting the app and going to a competitor news feed

Forced Ads

More garbage, less privacy

New look alerts can’t be turned off way to many

I like the way it was before I might delete the app Channel 2 & 4 works much better now I use to like channel 8 the best but definitely not now!.

Ads before you can view any news

This app started out ok, But now you are required to view ads and watch ads before you can do anything else. Horrible!

App Ads

Your app is basically worthless other than for the notification headlines. You click on the link and there is an ad for an app that you cannot X out. It’s bad enough that someone gets arrested for sexual assault, you click on the link, and the ad is brought to you by the Harris law firm. Just gives me the creeps. I wish there was a better way for me to get local news. I guess I’ll try and figure that out.

Has only gotten worse

Just keeps going downhill. Ads are now mixed with news stories. Also, I don’t want a video, I want to read the news. Granted, most of KOLO’s news is opinion anyway. Time to find a new app for local news.

Used to be okay

More opinionated articles than facts.

Nick Doyle writes a terrible column, and he should be fired immediately with all of his rhetoric that he writes.

Vision impaired adjustable

KRNV has accessibility adjusting. It reads my settings on my phone and matches them.

Not good fir low vision

Thus app is difficult to use if you have low vision. There are 0 accessibility options

Exit?

How does one exit the app?

scam ads block usage

recently the ads you out up at the opening of the app are more irritating than ever: ads that autoplay loud audio and ads that don’t have close buttons. now the only ad that comes up when the app opens is one that appears to be a scam. nothing in the ad indicates who is advertising; instead the ad looks like a system update for android (on an apple device) and the only buttons are “open” and “close”. i will not use either button as it seems both would install software of unknown origin! i am deleting the app as it is now unusable!
