News 8000 | WKBT News 8

When scrolling through the news items, the ads get in the way. I frequently find that I’m unexpectedly back at the top item. Very challenging compared to other web pages using iPhone. Using a PC however doesn’t produce these navigation issues.

While scrolling, I find myself back up at the top of the page. This is so frustrating that I have considered deleting the app entirely, but I have talked myself into waiting on an update. Well I decided to check the reviews to see if anyone else has had the same issue. Yep. Seems that this has been a known issue for over TWO years. I guess they just don’t care to fox their known glitches. So I will be deleting. Not worth the hassle when there are other local news apps out there that update regularly and don’t have the same glitches.

News updates slow to come. Some stories never concluded. Always plenty of ads though. Just like their TV news and TV programming. Realizing it is a business but one 30 second story to every 4 minutes of ads is abusive.

Channel 8 news is always updated and the weather is right on. On like other weather apps. I love that you can watch the weather and news from your I Pod I pad I phone.. great source of news/weather

I only had to download this app because they are canceling the text service for school cancelations. When i opened the app it asked me to allow notifications, so I did because I need them for the weather. When I tried turning off the news notifications I realized there was not an option to do so unless I turn them off completely. This app is a waste of my time.

Whenever I’m scrolling down through the news, the app will suddenly pop me right back at the top for no reason! Drives me crazy!! I tend to just scroll the news on the website. FYI, I use an iPhone 13 now but last was the XS Max, had same problems with both!

It would be nice if you could watch more than 30 seconds of the live feed without the screen freezing and eventually just shutting off. Sections on the app are tough to find me navigation is difficult at best. I’ll watch WXOW in the morning!

Did I miss something?? I did not see coverage of Trump in Marinette on your news program this morning (Friday) at 8:50 - 9:30.

News 8000 brings me a balanced combination of local and national news. While drinking a cup of coffee I can be brought up to speed on the happenings in my community and the entire world in less than 30 minutes. Love it!

I don't watch tv much this time of year. I hate the lies and misinformation that Scott Walker and his Republican cronies spread about their opponents ! This way I get to pick what I read and hear.

You are always the first new station I get on line that reports the breaking news even before my Milwaukee stations and national news sources. Keep up the great work.

News 8000 is the most reliable and dependable source around for news and weather

Was a great app! Now the stories are old and there are a lot of video stories that I would like to read not watch (data charges). At this juncture it isn't worth the space on my phone.

Great app to read up on news. I love the detailed weather information also.

Video feed keeps "sticking" and I have to refresh it from video play screen; very annoying...

This app is reliable, well organized, updated regularly and pertinent. I usually watch wxow but I love this app.

Updated news weather for the lax area!

"News8000 cannot be installed at this time." I've been getting this error message for days.

I don't use this app all that much, but it's good for regional news and weather.

Pop up ads ruined app. I will be finding something else. Could also use a better radar for weather but doesn't matter to me anymore

I like it because it covers news in geographical sections. Nice job!

Very professional with a down-home flair.

Like the new look in io7

Love the app but if there was a purchase option to get rid of pop ups, that would be great.

Used to be a decent news app but the video ads they put in the latest version ruined it. I've stopped using it.

App always locked up and had lots of error messages - but now wont even load.

Would give it 5⭐️ if only Jen's pic was on the site. But after further review 2 stars. Pop up pop up pop ups way TOOOOOOOOOOO many

The app won't continue to update. It's been stuck for a week.

Love the new app!!!! Well done!!!

Was a pretty good app until they updated it. Now it has pop ups and plenty of ads.

All you get is a settings screen, with font sizes. That's all I've had for weeks now. Don't waste your time.

Blah...blah...blah. Too much open space...no weather maps? And you want Directv to pay you more? Maybe so you can make a better app...I get it.

Great app! Very informative!

Good app!!!

I can't open the app

Pop up ads are horrible

I love the weather part of this app! beautifully done! yaaay! I'm so happy now :)

Even though I moved out of the channel 8 viewing area I still use channel 8's WKBT as MY news station of choice!

Excellent!!! Love the new ios7 look

Good and love it love it has ios 7 look

It's a good app for people who live in Western Wisconsin and Eastern Minnesota.BEST EVER😃😃😃😃😃
