8 News Now for Negative User Reviews
✓ News good, app terribleApp needs lots of tlc from devs.Version: 4.35.470055331
✓ New updateWhat happened???? New update is a joke! I receive an alert click to read the story and receive an error message that the story is old or gone?? Then I log into another news station only to find out that it's not old. Please fix this! I don't want another news app..Version: 3.3.0
✓ GoodWhen I watch the volume mutes right at least twice within the 40 minutes I watch in the morning..Version: 4.33.550046960
✓ HeheWhile the app definitely has its issues, (which the old app didn't have...), I give it three stars for the amusing apologetic-alertd, after all the OTHER re-alerts, serving to remind users of all the Vegas local news from last week. 😎.Version: 2.11.0
✓ Voted Worst News App By MeThey had a pretty good news app. Then they "upgraded" to this piece of junk. They even send out alerts telling you to disregard everything they are telling you. So find another news app as fast as you can until the powers that be figure out that this app is stinking up their ratings and driving the audience to other outlets..Version: 2.11.0
✓ Awful!!The app constantly crashes and freezes. Some overpayed executive has instructed anchors and reporters to say Live, Local, Now… Pretentious and extremely annoying!!!.Version: 41.7.1
✓ Painfully useless appThis used to be an ok app for getting Las Vegas news. Unfortunately, their news alerts generally do not link directly to the story. Usually, I just got a notice about a dead link when clicking on the notification. Worse, once I find a video I'd like to see, there is a fairly long ad before the story. Fine, I understands that the station needs to make its money somehow. When I finally get to the video which plays for about 30 seconds, and then the app crashes. When I reopen the app to watch the same video, I have to watch another ad. I've deleted this app from my devices..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Breaking news should be worth breaking from....KLAS is my preferred local news channel. BUT PLEASE REVIEW YOUR POLICY FOR WHAT IS WORTHY OF BREAKING NEWS! Not to be cold or callus, but to identify as BREAKING NEWS a story on a 'dog bite in valley home' or a 'pedestrian hit by car' is to cause unnecessary noise. I value the ability to get TrueType breaking news, but if this continues I will find it else where. Give us the ability to choose what classifies as breaking news worthy, ask your viewers, review your policies. Breaking news is something that IS happening or can not wait till the the regularly scheduled evening or morning broadcast..Version: 3.74.0
✓ Too many problemsThis app crashes to much. It’s hard to scroll through stories. I guess I’ll have to find another news app. Bummer I liked this before the update..Version: 4.35.470055331
✓ Can’t streamEvery time I open the app and try to live stream, it always says be right back and doesn’t leave the screen. It may pop in on the actual newscast but it lasts barely a minute then goes back to the be right back screen..Version: 41.7.1
✓ Well, it was workingUp until recently, this app has worked just fine. Now there's an ad that repeatedly pops up over the stories, making it impossible to read. Also, there's a story about a home invasion that's been there at least a couple months. Surely something else has happened in that category in that time..Version: 2.13.0
✓ AnnoyingI opted out from receiving sports new, NHL news, and every 5 minutes, my phone goes off with Channel 8 and NHL news it’s so annoying!.Version: 4.35.470055331
✓ Used to be GreatNow there’s some air conditioning ad that just freezes everything. Going to download a different news app instead..Version: 41.8.0
✓ Notifications alerts type mean nothingBeing able to customize alerts would be a great thing....but no... they do nothing... I don’t want political or sports alerts but every time there is a Vegas knights game happening, boom alert central...easily 5-10 alerts per game...I turned OFF vegas knights alerts, but still get them.Version: 4.35.570057102
✓ What happened?As long as you don’t actually click on any of the news articles to read them and you’re satisfied to read the headlines, the app works pretty well. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling, I’ve tried it on several different phones, and this is a brand new iPhone, and I still can’t open any articles. Then the app just locks up. I’d say it’s my phone, but it’s several phones and an iPad as well..Version: 41.13.0
✓ Poor app breaking news doesn't work correctlyThis app looks portly put together. Dark, small and looks like a ported Internet site. To offer this after the last app from 8news is an embarrassment. On top of that the breaking news alerts don't even work half of the time. Shows it then says not available or shows old breaking news. Sometimes loads all breaking news at once for the week. Bring the old app back it was far better and worked. Nice to see they spent more time getting ads working than on the new part of the app.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Ads ads all of a sudden adsSo I have used this app for a long time, it has always had banner adds at the bottom of the page as well as adds worked in between stores, and ads before you watch any video no matter how many videos you watch you never get a free one. However, recently on top of all of this full screen takeover ads have begun to appear. Ultimately its a good app if you can get to it through all the ads..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Does not work since updateA blue loading circle is all we see nothing opens/loads. Simply doesn’t work. Overall a poorly coded app..Version: 41.0.3
✓ Ad pops up every time you log inAnd you have to swipe up to get rid of it..annoyance I could tolerate if the content of the app made up for it..Version: 4.29.630037504
✓ NavigationI’m not smart enough to find anything on the website,specifically circqasola.Version: 4.35.290052964
✓ CrashThis app constantly crashes or freezes up..Version: 41.6.0
✓ SearchThere is no search icon that I can find..Version: 4.35.570057102
✓ Always Behind and Absurd Lead StoriesThe title says it all. Really significant world, national, and local happenings that I can find on other media as they happen are late on this app..Version: 4.24.180029469
✓ Don't download!!!!The old app was soooo much better. This new one has so many issues. My notifications are worthless because I can't ever see the stories I get notified for. It's seems like it never updates at least not like the other app. Always the same old stories. The whole app looks like it's a website instead of a user friendly app like the old one was. Very disappointed..Version: 2.11.0
✓ Hockey scores are not breaking newsI have the app set to notify me only of breaking news & traffic, but I still get notified every time the Golden Knights or their opponents score. Hockey game scores are not breaking news. All they do is clutter up the notifications area for real breaking incidents..Version: 41.1.0
✓ Sophomoric journalistsApp frequently shuts down unexpectedly. The journalists at 8 news now have trouble with simple grammar and spelling. My kids can write better..Version: 4.35.570057102
✓ Jumpy ScrollingThe content on this app is awesome, but using it on a pro series iphone is awful. Scrolling through stories, the screen is jumpy and completely takes away from the experience. Please update to be used on the newer iPhones..Version: 41.16.0
✓ IPad Ver horribleThe iPad version is horrible,,, does no one at news 8 use this on a iPad.,,,, the main app view is distorted in landscape mode and cant see the stories to click on,,, and the stories you do click on take you to a endless loop of video that you cant stop unless you close the app and restart..Version: 41.13.0
✓ No surprise. Way too liberalFirst of all, there are not that many news stories. For example, we get a Golden Knights article every other game. Then they will give breaking news headline with no story attached, just a line that says, “check back later” and never gets updated. I’m not very political, but enough with all of the anti Trump stories, and they still have pro Obama’s stories. Give it a rest. I am deleting this miserable app immediately..Version: 4.24.180029469
✓ Notifications are brokenToo many alerts and when you turn off certain notifications in the app settings they get ignored and still send you notifications. So I deleted the app..Version: 4.35.570057102
✓ It’s okay but not a lot of newsJust gives you some few facts but wants you to tune in to watch. I prefer getting news via written than watch..Version: 4.24.180029469
✓ StoriesThe channel 8 does not tell the truth on its stories. Plus, they the same like abc, nbc, cnn, CNBC. The special investigation is only certain topics. They do not cover the true crime or report all the crime in the valley..Version: 4.33.400045036
✓ UpdateUsed to be able to watch news videos consecutively automatically. Now I have to stop what I’m doing and click on the next article..Version: 4.34.260049926
✓ Keeps freezingThis app used to be great. Now you can’t even get through 3 news stories before it completely freezes on you. Then you have to close it completely out and go back in. Then after looking at 3 more....same thing. Also using a majority of my data. This is even after turning off the auto video start. The news is good but the app....not so much. I’ve been dealing with this over a month now (iPhone). I’m done with this app..Version: 4.35.470055331
✓ Disappointing...Used to be an amazing app - great stories and reports. Hasn’t updated in over 2weeks now. Tried deleting and reinstalling and still won’t load..Version: 41.0.3
✓ Notification Settings BrokenIt’s great that there is a good selection of alerts to turn on or off. Unfortunately “News” seems to be everything. Even though I have “Golden Knights” turned off my phone blows up every time someone scores. This needs to be fixed. 8 News Now is my preferred local news, but if this continues with the Raiders it will be a VERY easy decision to delete the app and use the other networks..Version: 4.35.470055331
✓ Doesn’t workThe app sends news alerts but when you try to open it, nothing happens. Been going on for at least 2 months..Version: 41.15.0
✓ Notifications.Unfortunately this app is unusable, I keep getting bombarded with notifications from the knights games! I don’t have sports alerts enabled! Uninstalled...Version: 41.0.3
