Review

I have enjoyed Channel 8 since I have been a young man and prefer it over other stations.

Honest news

I find I can count on this news. Honestl and truthful.

Update info

Super updates are fantastic

New Talent

I absolutely love the new talent you hired at WGAL 8. Tasmin Mahfuz makes watching the news feel fun and she brings a great positive energy to any broadcast. Bethany Miller is so knowledgeable about all things sports and her energy is contagious.

Very professional

Never give up stay strong always.

Decent

The app is neatly organized but sometimes the weather predictions are a little off.

In my humble opinion always a trusted source for News and Weather!

The Channel 8 News Team always does a great job report/ delivering the News Stories

100%

Love the coverage then most!

Update for Liquid Glass???

When will the app be updated to have widgets work properly with Liquid Glass and colored icons? Currently, on clear Liquid Glass icons, my WGAL widget is a block of white. Can’t see text or anything.

Traffic !?!?

The new traffic map is not very helpful. Does not show all the roads. Why was this changed?

WGAL News 8 app

This app works well, I can get real news at real time. Or if I choose to watch at a later time, I still get the most recent news updates that has happened.

WGAL website

I have a new apple 12.9 iPad max pro and you web page with not down load this app. WGAL works on my iPhone but not on my $1500 ipad

Excellent App

This is the premier tv station in our region. I give the app an A— it is really good but could use some tweaking to make it even more user friendly!

Articles

Not enough information on articles.

Excellent Tracking

This is the best news station I’ve ever experienced

App needs fixed

Under contact us / report bugs - nothing happens when you tap ‘report bugs’. Also, under weather, the hourly forecast is partially cut off on the bottom so sometimes, you can’t see the chance of precipitation.

Constantly reverting to home screen while trying t read articles

Used to be my preferred news source. Recently the app malfunctions constantly. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app. I’m using iphone 8 which is an older model so I’m not sure if it’s an unsupported IOS issue, but all I can say is that for me, my local ABC news app has let me down. Can’t read anything without the app constantly taking me back to the home screen.

One sided political news

Over the last two and a half years I have finally come to realize how democratic your news station is . We have rarely been watching because your attack on Trump is disgusting. Keep your own views to yourself and have equal coverage . You are losing fans across the county.

Wasting my time

Ads take too long to start and are much too long for the article that is to be read

notifications

Why do all notifications disappear when you open the app? The search bar doesn’t find the stories you missed when the notifications disappeared. Basically all you get are the teaser headlines, no more.

News reports

Never up to date
