CBS 8 San Diego for Negative User Reviews

✓ Ads, Ads, and more ads... on every page, at the top, in the middle as you scroll, really? And, they flash, so it’s impossible to read anything. I cannot believe the high level reviews. Removing it from my device. Try the other guys. Far superior..BarbZ21Version: 42.5.36

✓ Wish I wouldn’t have updated!This app is so ad filled it’s annoying! You cannot copy and past anything from the news article so as to share. You cannot “enlarge” any photo as was today’s article about SDG&E tier pricing! Terrible app, used to be my favorite go to news source via phone and TV but both haven’t gotten worse. No surprise the viewership has dropped, and I’m another one until you get it fixed..JcksrVersion: 6.1.34

✓ App UnusableI’m not using “unusable” in a snarky manner. I’m being literal. When I try to open the app or click on alerts, a prompt fills the screen asking me to select my privacy preferences. In fact, it overfills the screen, so I can’t respond and can only swipe up and close the app. Is there a fix?.Gorilla loverVersion: 43.5.19

✓ Add audioIt would be good if there is an audio option only too (for example like listening to podcasts while driving or working out)..Hot cake 13Version: 42.6.45

✓ Why Change?I’m not sure why there is not built in mirroring function for Apple TV for the local news. I loved watching the 6 am & 5 pm broadcasts and being able to use my phone simultaneously. Now, I can’t even bring it up as there are mini segments that make it more difficult. What a bummer!.Teach/MomVersion: 6.1.34

✓ Formal complaint Submitted to FCCDuring a large fire in San Diego, local ABC and NBC stations broke into regular programming to update viewers on evacuations. San Diego’s CBS-8, however, was blacked out for any customers of AT&T’s DirecTV. The local CBS affiliate is in a dispute with the AT&T television provider over fees and has discontinued all broadcasting. AT&T and CBS-8 put corporate greed above the safety of their customers and viewers during a local emergency and should be fined..Bobtou1Version: 42.12.20

✓ So far 2 strikes and many attemptsOk after several days, and multiple tries I am almost done. Strike 1) Glitching and slow. I can scroll about half way down a page and then it jumps back to the top. I prefer to read the news quickly than to watch it. I thought maybe it is just this one story nope it happens on most of them. Strike 2) I set up my preferences and I now have to scroll even more to get to the local and national or world news. (I don’t want the fluff and stuff stories.) Strike 3) Hasn’t happened yet. Well we all know what happens after 3 strikes ... 😕.4unickVersion: 6.1.34

✓ Crashes and User interface needs improvementThe second day I used this app it crashes. The top navigation banner is too large. It takes away a lot screen space. It should be more narrow. There is a top and bottom navigation banner when there should be just one. It’s taking up so much screen real estate to have 2 and is redundant. There is also an advertisement banner as well. This adds up to 3 banners that block my screen when I try to read the news. This app is barely useable to me..Green treeVersion: 6.2.5

✓ No tracking = no information! DELETED!Today, 11 July 22, the app asked me to enable tracking on my iPad to "support local journalism." When I didn’t enable it, the app just went to it’s background photo - no information of any kind was available. If I do enable tracking, will you hire a weekend "journalist" who knows that the "Prix" in Gran Prix doesn’t rhyme with "sticks"? I understand limiting expanded material, like searching previous material, to those who pay, but today’s headlines? Fortunately, there are still other news departments willing to give us information about what’s happening in our city today. Buh-bye!.DucksoupSDVersion: 44.1.23

✓ Don’t waste your time with this news appThis is the third attempt by news 8. It seem every year the make a new news app. So far every time I try to use it it works for about 30 seconds and freezes up. Why I have to download a new app every year is beyond me.Master G117Version: 6.1.37

✓ Good except for some weird weird adsApp functions great, does the job of bringing in local news. However, the ads on here are super super weird. There are so many odd casino ads, and you cannot skip at any point. I finally deleted the app because they just got to be too much. I would suggest working with a better ad-placement company, there are so many great local ones to work with..Jojoba hiVersion: 42.13.38

✓ Loaded up with adsWow what a crap update. At least it’s a new app and I can still use the old one until they shut off the server. Is there something that is supposed to be “better” about this? Ok, look, I’m an app developer myself. I know News8 doesn’t have a software development staff and got sold a bill of goods. Bad choice. Try again. Please don’t throw bad money after good and please ditch this, and stop promoting this cr*p on air. It is only to your detriment. But it’s a station that makes bad technical choices. Fix you grating on-air audio eq. It is as harsh as KUSI’s is shrill..JT92101Version: 6.1.34

✓ Tried but no thanksTried the app and the first thing I noticed is how laggy it is when scrolling. Second is that while trying to read an article, the paragraphs start moving and add start to appear. After every paragraph is an ad. Sorry, this is far to full of ads, at least nbc7 or fox5 San Diego doesn’t have half of ads as this one does. But it’s also just to buggy and ad ridden for me to keep on my iPhone. Deleted.Wyoming GoldprospectorVersion: 6.1.37

✓ Live links are not reliableThe live links to video (COVID Updates, etc.) are not reliable. They often fail after the commercial ad plays and then it loops a second time. Once that happens, it is 2min into the update so I don't even bother to click on the notifications anymore. I just pull up another SD Local channel's live feed..SpellingbeefailVersion: 42.4.12
