WOOD TV8 Customer Insights

1. Hey TV8 - look at Fox17's app, they've got it going on - open app, read news, what a simple concept!Poor weather app performance--very inferior to previous app.

2. Id like it if there were a separate app for just school closings, seeing as my smart phone is smart enough to tell me weather and breaking news, but it's too dumb to give me school closures.

3. Don't waste your time!I like being able to read the news for the area and the state but now it doesn't work.

4. Yeah I'm talking to you samsung >:( (And I know I said my phone sends news alerts, but it's nice to be able to select the exact article I'm reading.

5. I prefer woodtv8 for my local news but might have to finally go to a different provider.This app keeps me informed and I like that I can watch live coverage.

6. That particular suggestion is for my fellow news app users)This app does not work, won't even load.

7. Not worth using it nowYou get 4 news stories to read.

8. Going to download a different news app.

9. I really wish this was available on my TV or that I could share to my smart tv instead of only being a tiny screen, not even able to be full screen.

10. All I get is an error message saying my device doesn't have an internet connection, even if I switch from the LTE cellular network to wifi, and tap RELOAD.Like the app.

11. Tap on one story and you get 5 news stories and 3 ads.
