Top reviews

Too many ads.

The ads interrupt the ability to find articles and really detract from its usefulness.

Honest news

I find I can count on this news. Honestly I’m a fan!and truthful.

Mostly good!

Website can be a little glitchy at times, especially when scrolling through main screen.

WGAL News 8 app

This app works well, I can get real news at real time. Or if I choose to watch at a later time, I still get the most recent news updates that has happened.

News reports

You have too many news cast with medical information and it’s very depressing. We should put something in. That’s happy don’t you think?

Traffic !?!?

The new traffic map is not very helpful. Does not show all the roads. Why was this changed?

Update for Liquid Glass???

When will the app be updated to have widgets work properly with Liquid Glass and colored icons? Currently, on clear Liquid Glass icons, my WGAL widget is a block of white. Can’t see text or anything.

App needs fixed

Under contact us / report bugs - nothing happens when you tap ‘report bugs’.

Also, under weather, the hourly forecast is partially cut off on the bottom so sometimes, you can’t see the chance of precipitation.

100%

Love the coverage then most!

In my humble opinion always a trusted source for News and Weather!

The Channel 8 News Team always does a great job report/ delivering the News Stories

Decent

The app is neatly organized but sometimes the weather predictions are a little off.

The app

The app is too busy. It’s hard to find information make it easy please

Very professional

Never give up stay strong always.

New Talent

I absolutely love the new talent you hired at WGAL 8. Tasmin Mahfuz makes watching the news feel fun and she brings a great positive energy to any broadcast. Bethany Miller is so knowledgeable about all things sports and her energy is contagious.

Wouldn't trust this media

Poor anchors never know if its accuracte or spreading disinformation

Update info

Super updates are fantastic

Honest news

I find I can count on this news. Honestl and truthful.

Review

I have enjoyed Channel 8 since I have been a young man and prefer it over other stations.

App isn’t working properly.

When trying to read a story or even scroll down the app will automatically go back to the initial screen as if the app just opened. Happens repeatedly that the app isn’t functioning. Last app update did not correct the problem either.

App doesn’t work correctly!

I used to love this app since it’s my local news station. However; every time I click on an article to read after a few seconds it goes back to the home page. I have to click on article 5-6 times or more so I can read it. Even if I’m scrolling down the home page it automatically goes back to the top after about 20 seconds. This app used to be great; now it’s annoying. I have tried deleting and reinstalling and still have the same issues. Please fix this glitch!
