## WFLA News Channel 8 Reviews in United States

### *---- "Annoying"
The amount of video ads on every story is asinine to the point where people are not even watching them. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired. I understand its how you make money but it comes to an extent where you should calm it down a bit. How about adding pictures more instead of these stupid videos!! Just dumb
-- CB8732, 2024-09-26

### ***-- "Trapped in ads!"
How dare I watch a news video fullscreen?! I paid my dues watching a garbage ad at the beginning, then the video played, with full player support, cast to device, mute, playback controls... Then the article was finished, but were they? NO! Here's a second advertisement at the end, and NO PLAYBACK CONTROLS! NO fullscreen, NO mute, NO playback controls or even an X! Just "Learn More" and nothing to do but either 1. Watch another advertisement until control is restored. OR 2. Force-quit the offensive over-advertising application. 

I won't be doing THAT much longer before my resolution is to REMOVE THIS APP.
-- Huyabusa1300, 2024-06-12

### ****- "Weather"
For the love of God don’t put ads in the weather. I’m scared because weather is coming at me & not going to buy a pizza. Hurricane 2018.
-- userbj, 2024-06-08

### *---- "Unusable"
The ads take over with loud volume, there is no way out other than closing the app.  Skip ad doesn’t work.  Trying to watch a video also basically takes over your phone and the only way out is closing the app.  Can’t take it any longer, deleting app.
-- Eddiebull, 2024-03-09

### *---- "Fix this!"
The most recent update did nothing but make the app worse! “View more” doesn’t open anything, everything is huge, and not as easy to navigate as before the update. Will not be using until you fix the issues.
-- Upgrade or Downgrade, 2024-03-05

### *---- "Smut news"
If you want local Florida news forget this app. Only National Enquirer type stories reported here.
-- Former NH'ite, 2024-02-28

### **--- "New update"
For some reason when I get notified about something with the app on my iPhone it only brings me to a screen that has me select what I want notifications on and location. Even when I put it in it stays on that page. I am no longer able to bring up the news story from the notification.  I have never had this issues before and have deleted the App and added it back, still nothing…
-- acd1256, 2024-02-15

### *---- "Terrible large type since update"
Whatever your recent update in the last few days or so has totally screwed up the way your news looks on my iPhone everything is giant. Please let me know that you are aware of this. Otherwise I am getting rid of your app.
-- LukesMimi, 2024-02-15

### *---- "Stuck"
Was working good until update (02/12)…now on startup it makes me decide if I want breaking news etc, then when it continues to weather options it won’t proceed past my zip code. Worthless app if I can’t get to the news…
-- nicknamealreadytakeneverytime, 2024-02-13

### *---- "Ads dominate"
Pop up ads cover up the news and weather. Used to be the best news and weather app for Tampa Bay, now dumbed down and completely ruined by ads. Baynews 9 now much better.
