User Reviews

User reviews largely condemn WTNH News 8 for stability and usability problems—especially with weather tabs crashing, hard-to-find or removed live streams, and intrusive ads/Wach-Now interstitials. Many report blank screens, slow loading, and outdated or mis-timed content. A minority note brand loyalty and past usefulness of notifications, but overall sentiment is negative due to repeated crashes, poor live-stream access, and questionable content presentation.

Pros

Users show brand loyalty and continued use of News 8 for local news.
Past usefulness of push notifications was appreciated by some users.
The app historically offered live feeds and weather content that users valued.

Cons

Weather tab crashes or consistently causes the app to close, with multiple reviews noting weather-related instability.
Live streams are hard to find or have disappeared/replaced (morning live stream removed) and accessing live content is hindered by changes like Watch-Now.
Ads and Watch-Now interstitials interrupt viewing, reducing usability and the value of the app.
Blank or black screens appear on startup or during use, indicating stability issues beyond just weather.
Content quality concerns: reporting style perceived as sensational/tabloid-like and potential bias, affecting trust in the app.

I downloaded the app because there was an article that I wanted to follow; but every time I tapped I found myself looking at another ad; not the experience I expected; app has been deleted
