## KSBW Action News 8 Reviews in United States

### ****- "Good, but needs more frequent updates"
Would be 5 stars if updated more frequently, especially weather forecasts.
-- !,!,,!, 2024-12-11

### *---- "Nothing but Ads"
Can’t even read an article without several Ads covering the screen.
-- DadoieDallas, 2024-09-06

### *---- "Not usable on iPad Pro"
The video covers 85% of the screen making it impossible to read any articles and there is no way to pause the video. There also seems to be a scrolling issue where the video will readjust the scrolling at times. It doesn’t feel like a native swift app.
-- I hope this nickname is not taken, 2024-06-25

### ***-- "mostly good"
I appreciate the breaking current news and the weather forecast.
What I dislike is the very loud commercials that are often impossible to skip.  They are so annoying I often skip to another news station.
-- H.Beans, 2024-03-30

### *---- "The worst app to ever land on the Monterey Peninsula"
Let me start by saying I’ve lived here for nearly a year having moved from the San Jose area

This app has more ads than actual news

Here is what downloading this app will guarantee 

1. News feeds from the major outlets. CNN etc
2. Old local news. Bob Barkers death is still making the headlines and he’s been dead for two days. 
3. Lots of ads. Yes. Ads. 
4. Stale Weather data. Period. I live in Marina. The weather is never accurate. Never. Guarantee the forecast will be sunny. And Marina is foggy. 

DO. NOT. BOTHER.

### ***** "Always first for breaking news!!"
I like my KSBW alerts, it keeps me updated on accidents, fires, shootings… great job!
-- Jacks Salt, 2023-08-19

### **--- "I agree with the review called “Good Station  Bad App”"
Love the station, but I’m consistently having trouble with the app. It won’t scroll down! So once I read the first page I’m done. This has gone on for weeks!
-- Boys&#039;nana, 2023-05-11

### ***** "No wifi guy"
Only have air antenna.  You guys rock!   7years watching you guys.
-- patrick perrotts, 2023-05-10

### ***** "News"
I love the weather and the new here on channel 8 news and what a beautiful job of the students that send in pictures that they draw about the weather my children are grown up now they sent a picture in once and they were so happy to see it on the news that’s so important for children every where one day I hope my grandchildren do the same soon
-- Buddy &amp;kola, 2023-01-07

### ***** "Update"
I love the updates it keeps me informed
-- savingmike, 2023-01-01
