8 News Now Customer Insights

1. Pity, because I'm a channel 8 news watcher.I have been watching channel 8 news since it first started here in Vegas and we had only three channels I would appreciate it if you could put the rebroadcasting of the local news at least leave it so we can watch it as we do watching it on TV it makes the older generation feel like we still belong in this mess please make it so we can see the local news without it being segmented posted a link to the website would be a nice idea and two other things that are mentioned in the news they had linksOften, does not open or go to story clicked.

2. The latest problem is when l try to open the app, I get the 8 News Now logo screen and absolutely nothing else! WHEN it works, it blasts out sports updates on the Raiders, Golden Knights and UNLV, even if you have sports notifications turned off.

3. I am still getting notices about new news stories but it doesn't do any good because the app won't work at all.

4. I'll get a notification for a story when I go to the pull down drawer to click on the story I get stuck on the 8 News Now splash page.

5. I want current LOCAL news.Needs a lot of work.

6. Although posted content seems timely which is good, I'm not happy that I cannot stretch out text & images & vids to enlarge on the android Samsung s7 phone.

7. I expect a lot better from the Valley's News Leader.This app simply does not work well.

8. I do not have this issue with CNN and another local news app.I have used the app for about a year.

9. I don't need news articles from a year ago either on the main feed.

10. Makes it real difficult when crime photos & vids are posted asking "if you've seen this person, to call Metro".

11. Can't receive notifications, finally after several attempts to uninstall and re-install, I just uninstalled it for good.
