WROC News 8 RochesterFirst for Android
Recent change that puts ads in the news feed that look like articles makes this app super annoying. Will look for my local news elsewhere now.
It keeps me informed
Helpful
Great
I think I will love it!!!!
Came back after trying this app about 1 year ago. It's a among the worst pop up ad sites I've ever seen. News in print stories are way too brief, videos slow to load, and pop up and video ads interrupt a lot. The station broadcasts with a pretty good news team but this app is the pits.
Worst app I am deletingnitb
Old version better.
Your app does keeps rebooting does not work at all I have to keep closing it and opening it then it starts in a boot loop again
Terrible. Stuck at home screen with Channel 8 logo. Does nothing .
It used to be the most consistent app out there, now it's just another clumsy news app.
It tell's me what I need to know.
Cluttered app that often makes you go through three or more layers from start until you actually get to read the story. With news apps simple should be better. Let your reporting speak for itself. Uninstalling.
Your commercial says its for all devices but it clearly isn't designed for tablets.
The most constant news app out there!
This is a wok wonderful app, it covers everything.
Don't miss out on news
TV news is great - our favorite local station! However, will you be adding live-streaming of all your newscasts (like ch. 13 does). If you added that, I'd get your app. I like being able to watch the news while it's on when I'm not home instead if just reading stories on your FB page or website.
Love it.
Great job
Not to bad
Its a good news channel and a poorly done app. Spend more money on development this is were your audience is
New look? Terrible. And no surprise the news is STILL old! I'll be deleting this App ASAP.
Am app worthy of the great news team at channel 8 WROC Rochester, NY.
App looks more modern but news is often not news anymore
I noticed under the weather tab, I can't edit locations and on the radar there isn't a way to zoom in & out that I saw. The best weather app for my use is WeatherBug Elite. As far as locally, News 8 is the best broadcast; however, as far as the local station's mobile app, channel 10 gets my vote.
The easy to use app with the news that you need
I tried to sign up for school closing alerts. It took about two minutes to scroll the list of schools. It stated that I could choose up to 5 schools but did nothing when I clicked on the add button.
Notice of an update, but no listing of what's new like every other app shows. I'll pass , until I know. News 10 has a nice app,btw.
Great app so far...have had no problems or issues..Galaxy S4
They crippled the radar party of the app, no local zoom now. Anyone else not liking this, there's a free app called "Rainy Days" that's a quick, fast-loading bare-bones radar app, shows precipitation only. Useful.
The new app doesn't allow you to zoom in and out, so now we cannot see the local radar, only a very broad view. booooooo!
New look is nice. How come no one at the station pays attention to the content? Breaking News story has been the same since 6/26. Typos, messed up fonts and other obvious mistakes make the stories unreadable. No updates at all on weekends. News 8 is good on TV, but News 10 App is much better managed. A little effort here would go a long way.
