Feeling Like You Are Getting To Experience Everything
You are experiencing everything as it happens. You can watch live news. This is even accessible for the blind.
Horrible video and live stream player
Constant crashes, half the time it wont do picture-in-picture, unresponsive video controls. It crashes every few minutes and forces you to rewatch the same advertisements every time. Total garbage app.
Best News App For Las Vegas
This is by far and away the best news app for Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. The news alerts come fast, and the stories are real news, not slanted one way or another. The I-Team investigations are some of the best news in the region. The only thing keeping it from getting a fifth star from me is the fact that the ads within each story do not flow “smoothly” with the rest of the page as you scroll, and they create a stutter effect on newer iPhones with the higher refresh rate screens. Fox this issue and it’s easily a dove star app.
Doesn’t work
The app sends news alerts but when you try to open it, nothing happens. Been going on for at least 2 months.
New update made app not work
The most recent update has caused the app to not work anymore…
Not happy about losing my cbs channel with Direct TV
Please resolve the problem fast I’ve been watching Channel 8 since 1985
What happened?
This worked last week. But now, as soon as you get rid of the ad, it’s just a blank screen. No matter what I do. Nothing to update.
Stop the increased volume
Love Chanel 8 News and have been watching for years. However, the increased volume when advertising the station during break is a true disappointment!!! Tribute to Nathan, I’ve put down my phone - now PLEASE put down that volume when you break to advertising the station. I’d be more than happy to give 5 stars after the change. Thank you in advance.
So many Ads
I’ve been using your app for a long time. It used to crash and be really buggy before you guys revamped it to this new style. The only problem that remains is the consistent ads. 30 second ads before every 30 second clip is ridiculous. They aren’t even the skippable kind like on YouTube. There’s literally no point in watching the videos anyways since it’s transcribed below essentially the reporter just reads the same thing you can read in less time than it takes to watch your ads.
Hockey scores are not breaking news
I have the app set to notify me only of breaking news & traffic, but I still get notified every time the Golden Knights or their opponents score. Hockey game scores are not breaking news. All they do is clutter up the notifications area for real breaking incidents.
8 news NOW
The best old timers
App broken
Stopped working on update. Ads pop up and screen freezes.
Photos of criminals wanted by Police can’t be zoomed!
App will get 5 stars once you all your users to pinch & zoom to photos of criminals wanted by law enforcement. It once work on previous app versions but not this current one. Example: You will post an article regarding police needing help locating criminal suspect, but when you try to tap the photo for clearer viewing, nothing happens and the public will not be able to properly spot the person the law enforcement is asking help locating…
Search
There is no search icon that I can find.
Notification Settings Broken
It’s great that there is a good selection of alerts to turn on or off. Unfortunately “News” seems to be everything. Even though I have “Golden Knights” turned off my phone blows up every time someone scores. This needs to be fixed. 8 News Now is my preferred local news, but if this continues with the Raiders it will be a VERY easy decision to delete the app and use the other networks.
Chan 8 News, Facts, Accurate Weather and Classy
Keep up the good work! Your coverage of South Nevada issues and concerns is vital. So many local and national issues are deserving smart reporting! Timely news about things impacting our lives. Your weather reports are accurate.
Update
Open the app to see a window to “Update”. No update available. Delete the app and download again…only to see a window to “Update”…don’t need this. Useless, has no news to relay only a black screen
Sophomoric journalists
App frequently shuts down unexpectedly. The journalists at 8 news now have trouble with simple grammar and spelling. My kids can write better.
Easy to navigate
Great source of local info..
Crashes and closes when you click on weather
The whole reason I want this app if for weather and all of a sudden you click on weather and it crashes and closes the app completely.
8 News Now
Excellent, thorough local coverage
Horrible app.
This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. The content is fine. But when I get an alert about breaking news and click on the drop down it literally takes 5 minutes before I can read it. I don’t know if it’s your server, or the software itself. But I get a dim picture of the article that you can’t click on for 5 minutes. Nothing works while it’s just sitting there. I doesn’t matter whether it’s wifi or cellular. Same every time. Please tell me that I’m not the only one with this problem.
The new update is terrible
Used to be my go to for local news. Since the new update, the interface is horrible and hard to navigate. There are now more ads then stories.
Go back to the old design. It was so much easier to use.
This update makes your app unusable.
No longer works
No longer opens correctly. Opens only to make you download the app which is already downloaded.
New update
App was updated. Continues to tell me to update. Have to hunt for the news.
