K8 News Reviews

Since the latest updates, including one just today, K8News is ruined. I used to check it several times a day. Now it is so slow, I usually give up and click it off before getting to any news. The older version was just fine. Now, by the time it loads, I just don’t care anymore. Life is too short.

Do you even test K8News before you update it? It doesn’t work and is awful. The notifications keep adding up but when you click one to see it, K8News crashes. New format is bad. Have to search everywhere to find anything.

After downloading the update when I would open K8News it would just continue to spin without going into K8News . I have deleted it and downloaded it two or three times and it still doing the same thing. Another news app that I use that also had the same update is doing the same thing!

Why keep the same crap up for a week? Can hear more news at the coffee shop for real! The weather app is getting better but loads slowly
Y’all could have a old news page for people that like reading stuff over again but have the new stuff first
Thank you for reading before deleting

Just like all the other reviewers stated, K8News is broken and crashes as soon as you open it. I keep getting notifications about news stories from K8News , but can’t even view the news stories when I click the notifications. Very frustrating!

The only thing K8News does well is throw a Gamble Furniture store ad in your face. You get to the actual news content about 50% of the time. It is very frustrating to get a notification, then the story doesn’t open…but bet your tail I saw the Gamble Furniture ad!!!

K8News auto updated yesterday and I haven’t been able to open it since. I tap on K8News , it starts to open, then crashes and my phone displays my home screen once again.

This new app is terrible. Loaded w/full size ads & pop-up ads. Then when u scroll thru the headlines of each story, it’ll repeat itself.
I use it mainly @ nite on lunch break @ work. The AT&T signal is poor here. The weather app is so busy w/HD quality, the Radar rarely loads?
Also, I’ve tried 2 find push-alerts 8-10hrs later, & not bn able 2 find the article? W/o having 2 go thru the push-alert itself.

App has become almost unusable. It used to be ok. Notifications don’t show up in K8News for hours after you receive them. If you click on the notification when you receive it, it will take you to the story, however if you dismiss the notification by accident and the try to find the article yourself too bad. You won’t find it for hours. Don’t put your phone in landscape while watching a video or the picture becomes distorted and K8News freezes. Too many repeated articles in the same category.

Please stop sending out “alerts/breaking news” every morning before 6:00am. It may get be our day off, or we may not get up that early every morning. I do like to get alerts when it is important...... but I do NOT like for my phone to awaken me at 5:45 am, to find out misquotes are taking over region 8. Please continue to send us alerts if important, but please don’t send out “stuff” every morning just because. Please respect our chance to sleep in late occasionally with out being woke up by silly information.
Yes, we could silence our phones, but some of us choose not to just Incase there is a true emergency in our region 8!!
Thank you

Please allow us to choose a font size. My phone is set with a larger font so my old eyes can read it easier but it does not effect the Region 8 app which has teeny tiny font when I open up a story.
If there is already and adjustment for it , please let me know where to find it. Thanks.

I love getting updates but when I go to the page, there’s nothing about the story. I usually have to go to Facebook to find out the rest of the story.

Can not download K8News on phone. It will only open in App Store only

Ever since the update, K8News will not open on my iPhone. I miss it!

I count on them like family to be honest and supportive. I have great confidence they are doing a great job informing us and protecting us to the best of their ability. Loyal viewer and friend. May God bless your efforts. Thank you. Sheila Wooldridge.

I live in Batesville Arkansas, I do not subscribe to our local paper. I get all my news from Region 8 and White River Now. I usually know what’s going on in my area before the newspaper is even released.

Since I updated page won’t open always says error

I just updated to this new version. Now K8News won’t open. It crashes every time. I didn’t want to put this in the review area but I couldn’t find a way to report a problem.

Thanks so very much for sharing the news that goes on in Region 8. You guys are all very devoted to your jobs and your families. I can tell that you really care about everyone in Region 8. Thanks again for all that you do.

New app for phone is horrible. Hard to find daily news. News is more involved with states and not Arkansas

It’s pretty much like your opinionated news on tv. I don’t use K8News much and I never watch. You lost me years ago but I thought I’d check our election results. Yeah you’d think alphabetical order since you choose to put so many races there but nope. You are a training station and will always be. Never a good news source.

Not very good on there breaking news storieskarma need a whole lot more of Ragin eight news instead of news from all over the United States, And there are way too many Of the same story on here and on their sports there are not many of your local sports yall post on here

The Region8News app has recently changed it’s look and I do not like it at all. I look at K8News several times a day and since the “so-called improvement” I have been disappointed each time. Please change it’s look and function back the way it was! Thanks

It is very hard to tell what is news and what is an ad. The website has too much information with ads, news, and pictures. Tone it down a little or redesign! The last design was much more informative and easier to maneuver.

I can't even read a full story without getting interrupted by an ad. Gamble's Furniture must be putting out some serious cash to y'all. If they're spending that much on advertising then their prices must be marked up a WHOLE bunch.

I miss the Local News option that was present on the last version of K8News . It would be nice to have that back.

Who designs and develops this stuff? This is even worse than the last version. Somehow the ads always seem to load reliably, but news content? Not so much. And when headlines and articles do load, the typography and layout are terrible.

Give us back a app that doesn’t duplicate the news and that works!!!!

Keep you informed. Great news team
