4.6 out of 5
Wheel of fortune

Really β€” two days in row you preempt for the Bills. Let’s remember that not all of your viewers are sports fans.

Terrible

News8WROC constantly locks up and I have to close it down and reopen it if I want to continue. I will try one of our other news outlets.

Liberal station

Just another

Good when it works

Lately it seems to freeze when I scroll through the stories. I end up having to close it and then try it again

over aggressive advertising

Was a very good news app for the area but over aggressive advertising ruined it. Last add for wilberts wasn't just at bottom of screen but kept trying to play a video every 15 seconds! I'm done with it!

App freezes

Sometimes app freezes on news pages. Also Can’t figure how to get dismiss pop up ads. Local news is not a menu choice until you open one of the local headlines on home page. Needs work to raise its usefulness.

Vertical scrolling annoying

Scrolling through an entire article to get to the next article is very annoying and Time consuming. Especially After 4 or 5 articles even takes longer on my iPad. Then usually crashes.

Great if you want ads

News8WROC is so annoying. They could not cram another ad on the screen. Everywhere you click opens a browser. Very poor design!

Keeps freezing

Your interactive ads keep freezing your stories, making it that you can’t scroll

News

Cause I get tiered of hearing about the COVID 19 so I stopped watching all of it only till the weather then I change the station to something else

I use it for the almanac and sometimes news

I use News8WROC for the weather almanac but the rest of the weather on News8WROC seems to be off many times. The temperature will be different many times in two locations on News8WROC. It's good for getting the news when I miss it on TV.

Great app

I get pertinent updates and news in an instant!!! Great way to stay up to date as to what's happening!!!

Best

Best app clean simple effective

Great app

Works well

The interactive radar interface is great!

99% of my usage is the look at the radar and weather forecast, and it's nice to be able to zoom in where I need it.

News

Very grateful for the blurb giving me the best info easy reads Sr Mary Jo

Great updates, great tone!

Am continually pleased with topics, style, tone, coverage!

Bfhj
