Hard to say good things…

This app is now completely “stuffed” with app-slowing ads. Adding to the madness, many ads are duplicated numerous times throughout the articles. In fact, there is one big ad box that must be removed b4 even seeing anything. There are also ad links to hoards of phony news articles that, to me, puts in question this news organization’s credibility. In short, this app quality went from Excellent to Poor over the many years I have used it; disappointing to say the least.
Ads ads and more ads

I upgraded my iphone and now I have to be careful when I swipe up to close the intro ad I end up closing the app. Then I get to the story and after every paragraph there is an ad, I understand that ads are needed since the app is free but my goodness do we really need 5+ ads a story? Then I get the issue where the ad takes up my screen and every time I try to scroll past it the app thinks I clicked to see the ad and opens it my browser and I have to close the app to get out of that loop. Easy fix is to just have a ad banner that stays at the top or bottom and just scrolls different ads, not to hard. The swiping to get rid of the intro ad can be a click button, solved…
Don’t Like New Format
Kamira2012
The new app format is a strange layout. I don’t like the narrow headline pictures. Also, why can’t the current weather forecast be loaded more timely. I checked the app at 8:30 in the morning, and I get the forecast from 11:00 the night before. That’s not relevant.
Unusable

The app freezes up all the time. Whenever a story is clicked on or try to look under weather tab it just freezes. The app is pretty much useless in the current state.
Used to be good…

This version is awful. Nothing more than a glorified bookmark for the website. ?
Once upon a time Loved Wood TV 8

Among the many things that make viewing and listening to your content are the advertisements. I understand the need for commercials, but why have the banners during the news clip. They overlap the view and Wood TV programmers have chosen to disable the full screen mode. Come on what good is your app if people give up on the clumsiness of it. I’ve gone from a daily viewer to a rare viewer.
Don’t use this on an iPad

This is the worst. Slow to load despite 5G internet. Quirky. Jumps around Full screen ads block out small news reports. And then crashes. Don’t believe all the glowing reviews written by Nexstar employees. Get your news elsewhere
Good work love the app
Joedejong.mister horror?
I have no problems on the app whatsoever but the one bug that I have is that every time I try to go and watch early morning daybreak or eight W. or news eight at noon when I watch the live video I love watching that I enjoy the app big fan of wood TV8 love you guys I grew up watching wood TV8 and I love watching wood TV8 and it has all of the news and weather to watch and look out for! So keep updating and keep updating the app and maybe add some more features in new features and I would love to have wood TV eight on Roku
Best news service with the worst app ever

This app is garbage. Truly. Someone needs to say it. The advertisement that overlays the opening welcome screen (swipe up to remove) is beyond annoying. The volume of ads throughout the experience are painful. The strength of woodtv is your weather and your app makes it insanely hard to get any detailed forecast. The app is horrible. Honestly… at the risk of sounding like a Karen you really should throw it away and start over - this is genuinely a worst-in-class user experience. It has been for YEARs (even with your old app). Think you need to hire someone who knows what they are doing.
