WRIC 8News - Richmond, VA

The app is okay; however, when you go to settings and click on, “Settings & Privacy” at the bottom, nothing happens and the screen disappears. Weird and needs to be fixed. Would like to see options if available.

For more than a week I’ve been unable to get beyond the update. Once I select which features I want I’m taken to the weather locator page. Here I select my location then nothing happens. I’ve tried it countless times including deleting the app, downloading it fresh and still the same problem. Please help.

Your recent update has made the app unusable on my phone. It required me to input new alerts, but stops at the weather alert. The button to accept or deny doesn’t show onscreen, and can’t scroll down to access it. The news app has way too many ads, so I wasn’t using it much anyway. No choice but to delete the app altogether.

SO many ads, some are for strip clubs. Seriously. Also, ads take over page. I put up with it for a while, but finally deleted and went to a competitor with a better app tonight when the videos in the news stories took over my device’s audio automatically. I couldn’t read the news and listen to music no matter what I did.

Every time I try to open the app. I only have a black screen. Nothing ever populates. I only get notifications. That’s it.

The app is relatively well organized and easy to navigate. However, I’m taking 3 stars off of my rating because it keeps opening my internet browser when I use it. When I tap on and open an article in the app, it’ll subsequently open my internet browser, open a new tab, and pull up a blank page. It only recently started doing this, and not only is it obnoxious, but it also feels like a huge security risk. If the developers fixed this issue, I’d happily give the app a 5 star rating. Until then, 2 stars it is.

Horrible news app.slow loading and too many ads and difficult to navigate. Worst news app. Never takes you to the news story when you make a selection. First it throws up an advertisement video that has to be swiped up, then it takes you to a video for newsnation, then it takes you to a video of the news story. Why not just render the written news instead since you may not be in a place to have a video stream. Once you finally make it to the story you want it is so slow to load because so many ads are stuck in the middle of the article I just close out and go to a different news channel to read the news there. Needs a total overhaul

I’ve been a fan since 1982,I simply love this News Channel!!

Why are all stories not shareable?

The content of the app in regards to news is great. There are so many ads everywhere though. I click on the notifications and it takes me into the app but first I have to look at a full screen ad that has to be swiped away before I can read the story. Also some of the ads that are persistent on every screen are those real low quality click bait ads like “do this one trick to lose 50 lbs”.
