User Reviews

Overall, users praise News 8000 for reliable, up-to-date local and national news and weather, regional coverage, and a professional presentation. However, multiple reviews cite recurring problems with intrusive ads/pop-ups, scrolling returning to the top, and video playback issues, which detract from the experience. Navigation and content quality are generally strong, but these three issues are the most frequently mentioned.

Pros

Reliable and up-to-date local and national news and weather updates.
Well organized and accessible on mobile devices, with weather and news in one app.
Covers regional/geographical sections, giving local context.
Professional, down-to-earth presentation and a strong community connection.
Balanced coverage of local and national news with quick, readable updates.

Cons

Intrusive ads and pop-ups (including video ads) that disrupt reading and viewing.
Scrolling issues where the page jumps back to the top, making browsing frustrating.
Video playback problems such as freezing, sticking, and intermittent live-feed cutoffs.

I absolutely love this crew doing the news, weather and sports. They flow together so well. I enjoy the little flights of humor and their connection to my community. I opt for them any day! Love it

While scrolling, I find myself back up at the top of the page. This is so frustrating that I have considered deleting the app entirely, but I have talked myself into waiting on an update. Well I decided to check the reviews to see if anyone else has had the same issue. Yep. Seems that this has been a known issue for over TWO years. I guess they just don’t care to fox their known glitches. So I will be deleting. Not worth the hassle when there are other local news apps out there that update regularly and don’t have the same glitches.

Whenever I’m scrolling down through the news, the app will suddenly pop me right back at the top for no reason! Drives me crazy!! I tend to just scroll the news on the website. FYI, I use an iPhone 13 now but last was the XS Max, had same problems with both!
