WFLA News Channel 8 - Tampa FL App Reviews

51 add

Pop up adds make the app unusable

If you cant use a news app with one hand it becomes a video game. Not what I am looking for to read the news.

Cannot play video the Ads lock

Its a shame that they feel the need to put ads in front of tragedy, breaking news, and weather alerts, what happened to the saying the news comes first.

Im trying to hear the governor, and all I get are ads

Other news apps are better. Extremely frustrating. Not worth the effort.

Not good

Tried to get weather. Sure ran two ads at same time and then wouldnt run weather. And then pop ups every few seconds. Waste of time.

Too many ads

Just wanted to get a weather app from the local station but I have to watch a full :30 ad prior to seeing any video to find out if a tornado or hurricane is going to hit. Easier to use the mobile web.

Annoying ads that pop up way too often.

The ridiculous amount of ads are overwhelming. No other news app nags the user with ads as much as this one does.

Smut news

If you want local Florida news forget this app. Only National Enquirer type stories reported here.

RVAH-9

Spot on! From anywhere can keep current on Bay Area news and beyond. Great app, like a newspaper in your pocket!

Frozen

This app after it was downloaded to my new IPhone 6 - keeps freezing up! Right now is the first time in almost two weeks! The news layout is great when I can get it! Has finally stopped freezing up!! This a great news app!

On Top of the News!!

Awesome news. A must have app that keeps you in the "know"! App is the best! Current local news and notifications, complete with on the spot news. Thanks.

About channel 8 news

I really love that I can access this from my iPhone an keep in touch with whats happening in my hometown. Very well done my friends well done.

Prompt headlines

I enjoy receiving headlines very soon after the story happens.

Terrible

Dont like the layout where you have advertisement in between news stories.

Location Location

Why does this app ask me if it can have my location every time I open it?? I already allowed my location. Just aggravating every time I open it that it pops up constantly. I checked settings and it still does it. Other than that its a great app.

Plays like TV!!!

I love the "watch now" option. I just want it to play in the background instead of constantly having to refocus on the app every 60 seconds.

Great app

I love this app. So easy to get the latest news. Especially the updates as they occur

Addapalooza

There’s an add when you open it before you can get to any content and sometimes that add will freeze the app…then there’s the adds in between stories if you don’t scroll fast enough (in other words if you pause to read a head line this add expands between stories). It’s ridiculous, frustrating, and unnecessary.

Great App

We are snowbirds & sometimes hear about news up here from this app before local news. Plus we can keep up with the news in Florida!!

Opens to an Ad

I will not use any app that opens to an ad, so this one will be deleted.

Not Accessible to Voiceover users.

The play button wont work if youre using Voiceover and are trying to double tap on it. It used to work and its not worked for quite a while now. This is the case for a lot of the local news apps out there and Im not sure why. As a blind person, I find this very frustrating.
