★★★★★ Lynn Conner · Mar 19, 2025

I love this app. It's so reliable and very informative. It keeps me up to date with the weather and current events.

★★★★★ Lisa Kozell · Apr 17, 2021

Love WOAD, but would like to be able to watch newscasts from previous broadcasts. I get up at 4am and cant see my favorite news. I watch channel 6 instead.😪

★★★★★ Penny Erickson · Nov 3, 2023

News 8 is the best. I am sure that they care about us. They keep us informed of our weather conditions, news & help me laugh, every morning.

★☆☆☆☆ jr hennin · Nov 28, 2021

Weather section is OK, news is days or weeks old. Station has also abandoned Dish. Time to abandon it.

★☆☆☆☆ Carmen Caballero · Apr 15, 2021

I will not even download this app. Your news feed sucks there's still news on it from 3 days ago with nothing new. You guys are horrible at your jobs.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · Jun 3, 2021

Of the three QC broadcasters this app is the worst. I have always gone to WOAD first, but their app is complete garbage clogged with spammy graphics. Just give me the news!

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Rush · Nov 29, 2025

The play button on the interactive radar is at the bottom of the screen where my back button is for android I can't do anything because the buttons to play or adjust the radar went to the bottom of the screen

★★☆☆☆ Jim Barnes · Aug 7, 2023

This version suc...s weather is buried in so deep and under so much advertising it's mostly unusable. Bring back the weather app.
