WGAL News 8 for Positive User Reviews
✓ Totally enjoy the LOCAL news from my phone.Very good. Well produced. Accurate. Just wish it was more up to date. More live updates. Once in a while I look for a current traffic or news situation and it’s not there..Version: 5.13.47
✓ Prefer to readI don’t watch videos - I can watch TV for that. I prefer to read the news when I’m sitting in a waiting area, waiting to a table, while husband is shopping, and everyone around me shouldn’t have to hear it..Version: 5.13.996
✓ Good app to get local newsI like the app for local news and for getting alerts to things happening in our area. What I DON’T like - and really one of the few things negative - is that when reading an article, an ad will cover part of the text! Aggravating as all get out! Other than that, a good source for local news..Version: 5.13.801
✓ Area news coverageWe’re from out of State but we travel to south central Pa. often. WGAL app gives us a sense of what’s going on in the region so that we have a connection with the people who live there. Very good coverage. We enjoy the region and the people who live there..Version: 5.13.934
✓ Interactive radar mapI’ve found your radar map to be very accurate for rain, but sweep moves too fast to get good idea of actual timing of rain arrival in your area. Please add ability to pause sweep at a certain time!.Version: 5.13.567
✓ Dew pointIt would be great if you would show the dew point in your weather section. I have been asking for this over and over again. WGAL is my go to for everything. Love all of the staff. Now if you could just get the dew point in your weather page it would be great! Thank you Betsy 😊.Version: 5.13.722
✓ Love you all!Love your app! I use it everyday and I like when I get all the news as it happens! I love the weather app and Joe and the team are the greatest! I plan my day by the forecast! Very seldom let’s me down! Love all you guys and all that you do for us in the community!.Version: 5.13.996
✓ Excellent AppThis is the premier tv station in our region. I give the app an A— it is really good but could use some tweaking to make it even more user friendly!.Version: 5.15.776
✓ So far so good.The main thing I like about WGAL is they are more York, Lancaster news. Keep up the good work. I just want to add I am a new transplant from Bucks County, about 35 miles north of Philly. I was a big Action News fan for many years. It took awhile but I do enjoy watching your broadcasts now..Version: 5.13.650
✓ Overall good.For the most part I like the WGAL news site. I don’t like the news articles that only contain news information in video form. If there isn’t some form of written information, I usually skip over that video. I don’t need to watch ads for a news article that I may not care to see in the first place. WGAL weather is notably good! Thank you..Version: 5.13.556
✓ Love local newsI love to get all the local news stories and receive notifications of updates on what’s going on. The only thing that I don’t like is that the app doesn’t have all of the same stories that the website has..Version: 5.13.567
✓ Freezing issueThis app is ok when it works. Lately it has frozen on opening and I have to restart or even delete and reinstall the app..Version: 5.13.934
✓ Commercial overloadI like catching up on the news in the morning while getting ready for the day ahead and enjoy the morning news crew. However, although I understand the need for commercial ads, I find the running of 5-6 ads in one break or the repetition of the same ad over & over, sometimes within the same break, very annoying - so much so that I inevitably turn off the app and switch to another news source..Version: 5.13.151
✓ WGAL News AppLike the app and WGAL news coverage. It’s my first place to look for local news & weather. Really dislike the automatic commercial before each video. I already know about the news team and that drinking while driving is illegal. Just want to see the news video. That’s why you won’t get 5 stars until the video format changes. Otherwise your app is good and easy to use..Version: 5.13.270
✓ When I hear the ding I know something’s going on!I like being current with things happening in my community, and being up to the minute, however I wish there was a way that the information could be listed in separate areas so that if I’m in a hurry I’d be able to check only the area that effects me at the time..Version: 5.13.180
✓ The best news in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.I followed WGAL since they still have PM Magazine hosted by Doug Allen and Kim Lemon. Until now I still follow WGAL. They all work as a team. The journalists, cameraman, and technical supports work together side by side to representing WGAL. They all did a fantastic job and the way I see them they are likes, One big happy family. They always treat each other with respect and dignity. I love them all, the journalists, the cameramen, and all technical supports, and I love WGAL. Keep up the good work. Love, Diet..Version: 5.13.567
✓ Useful but...It is useful. The traffic alerts have saved me from getting caught in traffic jams and occasionally the headlines are something I want to know. The number of alerts are maddening. Knowing that an incident of some sort is occurring in another state is not something I want or need as an alert but overall it's just useful enough that I keep using it..Version: 5.13.304
✓ New updates I wantWhile I too hate all the ads, one must realize that vendors and stations get their money and business from ads. Just as many ads on social media and TV cable or satellites- sometimes you need to accept reality!.Version: 5.13.868
✓ Lighten up, Nay-sayers!!!This is a free app, which means commercials pay the freight. Also, it’s just to provide highlights - you want the full scoop, log into NYT or other news service of your choice. I love the app: it keeps me informed of breaking weather, political and local news events. The alerts keep me attentive to things I normally might not pick up immediately. Well done!!!.Version: 5.13.26
✓ Disappointed to be disappointedThe only thing I can really rate this app on is it’s notifications and headline page, which really is a bummer, because I absolutely despise the news, but WGAL is the one news network I will watch or read because I actually trust their information. The app however would completely close out on me any time I clicked on a link, so I was never able to really navigate or do much on the app. I still love WGAL and visit the website daily, but as for the app, I can’t say much about it, but I sure hope it gets figured out!.Version: 5.13.996
✓ Finish your sentences please!Is anyone editing? Your sentences are often not complete. Over half a year ago, I called and spoke to a member of management, who said it was being worked on. Update, the issue still exists for at least a year now..Version: 5.15.93
✓ Too Many Advertisements!Advertisements often load BEFORE the news. Does anyone use this App for the purpose of viewing the advertisements? We realize advertisements are necessary, but are they the first things we must see? Occasionally the advertisements fail to load properly and then the App freezes. Only four stars since, as a news service, you obviously have your priorities inverted..Version: 5.15.244
✓ Good jobWell written articles, easy to follow and understand. The app. is easy to navigate and well engineered. If there is any upgrades that I would like to see it would be that the news articles would be updated during the weekends, I understand that this could be an issue financially and logistically however it would be nice to see since I obtain 95% or more of my news via the app..Version: 5.13.127
✓ Too many commercialsCommercial before EVERY news item? Overload. Commercials are too long. 30 second commercial is something I just turn off and go to next article..Version: 5.13.521
✓ LancasterLancaster County is where we live and that is what we want to hear about. York and Harrisburg is okay for filler, but we want Lancaster news, weather, and alerts first and foremost. The other two cities have their own stations. Whereas WGAL is our only station we want our news. Gotta to love WGAL!!!!👍.Version: 5.13.180
✓ Quality NewsI have been watching WGAL News since returning to the area 21 years ago. I rely on them for current news and weather all day and traffic info in the morning.Version: 5.13.868
✓ Convenient but not the best news app.I am not a fan of read or hear the news, because most of them are about negative or violent issues. I understand the importance about knowing what is going on around and this app makes its job. However, the amount of adds is really annoying! So after a couple of minutes trying to concentrate on the news being interrupted with publicity, I’m done and I turn it off. I highly appreciate the weather alerts though, that’s why still I keep it..Version: 5.13.626
