## WGAL News 8 Reviews in United States

### ***** "Update info"
Super updates are fantastic
-- Little Ricky77#, 2024-12-31

### ***** "Honest news"
I find I can count on this news.  Honestl and truthful.
-- Plette 05, 2024-12-16

### ***-- "Sluggish and missing content"
The app is loaded with so much ads and non-relaxant content; it’s making the app unstable and at times leaving users the need to get their news intel elsewhere.   Having some ads is ok, but ads blocking the news content or automatically playing a video ad is unacceptable and a nuisance to users.  Get it fixed.
-- Gagosto209, 2024-11-26

### ****- "Review"
I have enjoyed Channel 8 since I have been a young man and prefer it over other stations.
-- DMWhistler, 2024-10-28

### *---- "App isn’t working properly."
When trying to read a story or even scroll down the app will automatically go back to the initial screen as if the app just opened. Happens repeatedly that the app isn’t functioning. Last app update did not correct the problem either.
-- Just Trying in PA, 2024-08-21

### *---- "App doesn’t work correctly!"
I used to love this app since it’s my local news station. However; every time I click on an article to read after a few seconds it goes back to the home page. I have to click on article 5-6 times or more so I can read it. Even if I’m scrolling down the home page it automatically goes back to the top after about 20 seconds. This app used to be great; now it’s annoying. I have tried deleting and reinstalling and still have the same issues. Please fix this glitch!
-- PAbassGuy21, 2024-08-21

### *---- "Weather is never correct"
The weather is never correct. It will say it’s going to rain when my iPhone app says no rain. iPhone app is normally correct.
-- Every nickname is taken27, 2024-08-07

### *---- "Live feed not working on iPhone 12 and iPhone 11"
Not working now
-- WMBROWN, 2024-08-01

### **--- "Constantly reverting to home screen while trying t read articles"
Used to be my preferred news source. Recently the app malfunctions constantly. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I’m using iphone 8 which is an older model so I’m not sure if it’s an unsupported IOS issue, but all I can say is that for me, my local ABC news app has let me down. Can’t read anything without the app constantly taking me back to the home screen.
-- bowe6420, 2024-07-15

### **--- "News reports"
Never up to date
-- Noah-boy, 2024-02-17
