Pros and cons of WGAL News 8 app for iPhone and iPad

WGAL News 8 app good for

Use it all the time because my satellite provider does not provide WGAL

Top notch journalists Love the importance of the alerts sent out... Thank you,..thank you..

I like the alerts it keeps me up to date on news in my area. I get new when it is convenient for my schedule.

I love the weather radar but not so easy to access why not put it on the front page? Have 3-4 big stoies on the front page and options to go to peticular categories at the bottom of the page. Too many clicks.

People think Im crazy, but this app is really Fun to watch! Id rather watch WGAL news than play a game or go to facebook! Its inclusive, interesting and I feel comforted in knowing all I need to know to be safe and since I grew up withit daily on TV, I feel friendship, too with several news people. Thank you for your excellant work!!

This a really great app. Especially if you dont always have time to watch the news at home.

Some bad moments

While this app may be useful in some ways, the push notifications are pointless. I only seem to receive notifications that dont apply to me and are not in my area. How bout figuring out a way to alert me to things that affect me. For now Im turning push notifications off.

I found it annoying that the display wont rotate, but I could live with that. The ads, however, make it essentially useless. Showing me the same ad every time I go to a new story does not incline me to buy that product. It so disrupts the experience that I give up and get the news and weather from other sources. Add to that all the ads embedded in the text, and the alert badges that dont lead to whatever the alert was about. Ill only use it in an emergency. Fortunately other media outlets arent so greedy.

New app not user friendly. Too jumbled and confusing. Older style was much better.

Horrible app! Nothing but video clips...only after 30 second ads and/or ads for themselves. The push notifications are usually a few hours AFTER all other news outlets.

Far too many ads that are too long. Makes me not use the site. The ads make me want to NOT buy their products!

Im very dissatisfied with the format by the WGAL app. Difficult to navigate or find information/ stories quickly. I start off looking at a local story and then suddenly thrust into national news. Have to backtrack to get back to local. Also on breaking news I get an alert but once I swipe it and get to the WGAL app it doesnt take me to the breaking news story.
