Great for local news.

I have an app for international, national, and local news to keep me updated with everything. This app sends the right amount of breaking alerts. Not to many and not to little. Plus I can watch Live streaming of there local news. They have over 7 hours of LIVE news on the weekday and I don’t have to be at home to watch it.

My opinion as a blind person, using the News eight app

Mostly I enjoy using the app. I do enjoy the updates especially important breaking events occurring here in San Diego. Because I am partially blind. Are use a special application on my iPhone. This application helps me to navigate and use websites, and to read text. This application is called “voice over“. The voiceover app has a hard time navigating the news eight app. I sometimes cannot advance properly on News stories. And I cannot play the videos displayed on the News eight app. Because I am partially sighted I turn off the voice over app, and activate the videos without it’s benefit. This sometimes causes me to have more difficulty while trying to enjoy the articles, or stories offered. Overall I very much enjoy the convenience of being able to hear breaking news on the go. It’s also fantastic to be able to enjoy the great news eight coverage pretty much wherever I’m standing. Since downloading the News eight app I have also found myself watching more news eight on my own television at home. Thank you for your attention. God bless all journalist everywhere, who go into harms way to bring people like me the news. Thank you for your attention.

Love KFMB News

We rely on Channel 8 KFMB for our news, on TV and our phones, iPads and PC. when we need to watch the evening news elsewhere due to a sporting event, it always makes us appreciate your station even more. You have the best news and weather reporters and your presentations are always well done. Your staff is polished but friendly. You are the best!!! Jeff & Jeri Crockett Tierrasanta

CBS8 SD.

I love this station because all of my favorite shows are on there, including Ghosts. I am a Moderator of the Ghosts page and am a Ghostie. There are other shows I like too but sad that So Help Me Todd was cancelled. The best thing is that I love watching your weather girl who you actually can understand and of course Styles who is so cool too

So far 2 strikes and many attempts

Ok after several days, and multiple tries I am almost done. Strike 1) Glitching and slow. I can scroll about half way down a page and then it jumps back to the top. I prefer to read the news quickly than to watch it. I thought maybe it is just this one story nope it happens on most of them. Strike 2) I set up my preferences and I now have to scroll even more to get to the local and national or world news. (I don’t want the fluff and stuff stories.) Strike 3) Hasn’t happened yet. Well we all know what happens after 3 strikes ... 😕

News Eight

Views are still slanted slightly against conservative views but of all the local networks, Eight is on the most even keel. The national morning and evening news casts however are horribly interpretive of their own views. What happened to just REPORTING the news and let the public form their own opinions?? I only watch the local News 8 for that reason.

Good except for some weird weird ads

App functions great, does the job of bringing in local news. However, the ads on here are super super weird. There are so many odd casino ads, and you cannot skip at any point. I finally deleted the app because they just got to be too much. I would suggest working with a better ad-placement company, there are so many great local ones to work with.

Great job!

Only news app I use for local news. I even have the notifications on because they are seldom and when they do happen are actually important and prompt.

Live links are not reliable

The live links to video (COVID Updates, etc.) are not reliable. They often fail after the commercial ad plays and then it loops a second time. Once that happens, it is 2min into the update so I don't even bother to click on the notifications anymore. I just pull up another SD Local channel's live feed.

I gave up

Used the traffic map part of the app everyday. Fast & real time. Now hit traffic and get articles—no map. Worked with it several —gave up & deleted app. Loaded channel 10 app instead. Works great!

I want to delete my post and I am unable to do so. I dislike the barrage of negative comments that ensued.. I think I have to unfollow Ch8 since I cannot delete my comment.

Problem

It hasn’t updated in days. Still has old news on it.

5 years ago, Wyoming Goldprospector

Tried but no thanks

Tried the app and the first thing I noticed is how laggy it is when scrolling. Second is that while trying to read an article, the paragraphs start moving and add start to appear. After every paragraph is an ad. Sorry, this is far to full of ads, at least nbc7 or fox5 San Diego doesn’t have half of ads as this one does. But it’s also just to buggy and ad ridden for me to keep on my iPhone. Deleted

Wish I wouldn’t have updated!

This app is so ad filled it’s annoying! You cannot copy and past anything from the news article so as to share. You cannot “enlarge” any photo as was today’s article about SDG&E tier pricing! Terrible app, used to be my favorite go to news source via phone and TV but both haven’t gotten worse. No surprise the viewership has dropped, and I’m another one until you get it fixed.

Awesome SD coverage!

We think Channel 8 creates such heartwarming features that bring out the best in the people of San Diego-Especially the Zevely Zone! You’re reporters seem to really put their hearts into their jobs and it shows! Thank you!

Are there really other news stations in San Diego?

Can’t prove it in my house. Watch it at 6 am, 11:-12:30, 4, 5, and 6. Unless it’s preempted by March Madness which should be on ESPN.

No tracking = no information! DELETED!

Today, 11 July 22, the app asked me to enable tracking on my iPad to "support local journalism." When I didn’t enable it, the app just went to it’s background photo - no information of any kind was available. If I do enable tracking, will you hire a weekend "journalist" who knows that the "Prix" in Gran Prix doesn’t rhyme with "sticks"? I understand limiting expanded material, like searching previous material, to those who pay, but today’s headlines? Fortunately, there are still other news departments willing to give us information about what’s happening in our city today. Buh-bye!

Formal complaint Submitted to FCC

During a large fire in San Diego, local ABC and NBC stations broke into regular programming to update viewers on evacuations. San Diego’s CBS-8, however, was blacked out for any customers of AT&T’s DirecTV. The local CBS affiliate is in a dispute with the AT&T television provider over fees and has discontinued all broadcasting. AT&T and CBS-8 put corporate greed above the safety of their customers and viewers during a local emergency and should be fined.

Use to enjoy the app

But now that CBS 8 has obviously taken a more left leaning stance towards politics and the Republican Party as well it’s see ya. I am mostly apolitical and am of the opinion that no one particularly party can or ever will have all the answers and that being said I’m out. Start reporting the news and not you slant that’s your job.

Great local news app

Overall I'm happy with the focus on the region and the local updates. Ways to improve would be for more diverse sub sections of reporting

Links

Usually can find a thread to connect to a article where you promoted a link voting is restaurants can add a tax for Corona disease.

App Unusable

I’m not using “unusable” in a snarky manner. I’m being literal. When I try to open the app or click on alerts, a prompt fills the screen asking me to select my privacy preferences. In fact, it overfills the screen, so I can’t respond and can only swipe up and close the app. Is there a fix?

Add audio

It would be good if there is an audio option only too (for example like listening to podcasts while driving or working out).

Loaded up with ads

Wow what a crap update. At least it’s a new app and I can still use the old one until they shut off the server. Is there something that is supposed to be “better” about this? Ok, look, I’m an app developer myself. I know News8 doesn’t have a software development staff and got sold a bill of goods. Bad choice. Try again. Please don’t throw bad money after good and please ditch this, and stop promoting this cr*p on air. It is only to your detriment. But it’s a station that makes bad technical choices. Fix you grating on-air audio eq. It is as harsh as KUSI’s is shrill.

Why Change?

I’m not sure why there is not built in mirroring function for Apple TV for the local news. I loved watching the 6 am & 5 pm broadcasts and being able to use my phone simultaneously. Now, I can’t even bring it up as there are mini segments that make it more difficult. What a bummer!

Crashes and User interface needs improvement

The second day I used this app it crashes. The top navigation banner is too large. It takes away a lot screen space. It should be more narrow. There is a top and bottom navigation banner when there should be just one. It’s taking up so much screen real estate to have 2 and is redundant. There is also an advertisement banner as well. This adds up to 3 banners that block my screen when I try to read the news. This app is barely useable to me.
