New Version is Worthless. I used to access this app every day for news and weather. The new update makes it essentially worthless. Hardly look at it at all now. Trying to scroll through stories only to have the UI drop you back on part of the page you have already scrolled through just to make sure you saw the advertisement that had not rendered yet is not my idea of great. I just tried to pull up the weather and it just spins. Never had these issues with the older version. I have no problem with change, unless it breaks something that works just fine.

News staff shines during on-air coverage of Dallas tornado. Maria Sevedra, Jessie Huwela, Kyle Roberts and all the behind-the-scenes studio folks did a masterful job of providing vital information during the non-stop unscripted on-air coverage of the weather events Sunday evening. The studio staff, along with numerous WFAA reporters and photo-journalists out at the various scenes of damage, did an excellent, compassionate job of keeping the public informed and safe. I was particularly impressed with the way the reporters always asked those being interviewed on scene if they were OK, and always expressed sincere concern for the losses people may have experienced. There is a different “feel” to the reporting at WFAA and ABC — it’s why the station has been my “go to” for news and weather coverage since I moved to North Texas in 1971. Kudos!

Thank you. I just want to thank all of you’s for keeping us updated on what’s going on and the weather, it’s a blessing to know that your there, and that you take time from your family’s to kept us up to date, yes I’m aware that it is a job, but you go beyond just a job, I pray for all of you’s and your families , may God Bless and watch over you and your family’s. Again Thank You.

Timely and Accurate News Reporting. WFAA, Channel 8, in Dallas, features professional, timely, and accurate news, weather , and sports reporting that north Texans can trust and rely on. In addition, WFAA has special features (such as Wednesday’s Child), and stories of human interest which really touch your heart. Thank you, WFAA for serving our community in such a wonderful way!

Previous version better. This new version of WFAA is harder to use. I have deleted the old version & downloaded the new version but it keeps popping up crap asking me to download the new version. There is an apparent flaw in your new version. I downloaded the old version when I got my phone earlier this year & no problems nor did it keep asking me to download it over & over. It knew I had already done that. Your new version apparently doesn’t recognize that I have downloaded it. I have followed(watched) WFAA since moving to Dallas area around 1973. I wish I had not downloaded the new app. I should have waited till y’all got the kinks out (like Apple’s iOS 13. I am waiting a while till Apple gets all the bugs & kinks out before I update to that messed up mess). I wish I had waited before I downloaded WFAA’s new app & read reviews on it first. Between 1 & 10, I gave the old version a 10. I give the new version a score of 2. I don’t like the new version. ☹️

News coverage. I have the app for the weather. I get irritated that even our local news stations are trying to feed us the liberals’ narrative rather than what’s actually happening or leaving out certain aspects to suite the liberal point of view. Quit slanting the truth. I’m not saying you do this on every story but I have found it happening more and more. Not appreciated, I mean, who’s your boss.....Nancy Pelosi????

Old version was so much better. I haven’t had any problems with this app until recently it’s very glitchy and I hate how you can’t see the ten day or seven day forecast with a somewhat detailed description of what the weather is going to be. Every time I open the app it has some type of glitch and I really have come to strongly dislike it im very disappointed and would love for it to be fixed. Glitches include half the screen not showing up, the weather part not updating, and the video forecast that always plays the intro about five times before it actually works.

My Weather People. I’ve watched WFAA news for longer than I can count! I won’t watch any other station! Greg Fields is my main go to guy/person for my weather. Cynthia Isaguirre is my favorite news person. I was sad when she went to the night crew as she and Greg were awesome on the morning news. I still watch faithfully for both morning and evening to see my people! I wish to meet them some day. Our world needs more people like them! Way to go WFAA. Judy Price

While I have your attention and.... Dear Channel 8, I just wanted to applaud you for the “While I have your Attention” videos. They are truly beautiful and so well done. You have always been our preferred news station in DFW and this is just one more reason why so many of us here love and support you. You have assembled an incredible team of people. Every single one of them is outstanding. And the camaraderie between them is magic. From Jessie and Maria, to Dale and Pete and Chris and Izzy. And all of those in between. Thank you! You are doing something right!

Truthfully...I am biase. When it comes to WFAA. Living in a small town with Dallas as our playground for shopping, restaurants and cultural happenings WFAA was the station to watch plus reading the daily newspaper “The Dallas Morning News”. My grandmother was a subscriber hence my parents were too! I moved to Dallas and WFAA kept me in a comfortable place with the quality newscasters etc.. Their passion for good journalism beams! I am back in my hometown but not without WFAA and The Dallas Morning News. Thank you for continuing quality journalism in the metroplex and beyond!

All about the adds. Bad weather “Get the channel 8 App and stay tuned”. To what? All of the adds that interrupt every story and anytime you try to get to radar? Don’t get me wrong, I love the Staff, reporters , anchors, and even Pete Delkus! There are way better outlets like dark sky that show you what is about to tear your barn up instead the latest ad Tenga is trying to force yo to watch before the tornado. The web site’s not much better. However, I love the news cast!!! Leave apps and websites to those of us who have been doing them since is was in the basement at UTD!

Disappointing. I have watched WFAA since 2006 when I moved to Texas. I am now switching my alliance to channel 5. Greg Fields is awesome. a true gentleman. I thoroughly enjoyed the old team and Ron Corning kept me smiling. Cara is ok. Mark is a reason I was continuing to view. Demetria was opinionated and started my reason to leave. But you have reached a new low with the new traffic lady. She took Greg to task last week on air for not saying hello to her in the morning. Today she used a double negative and “ain’t”. Hhmmm what kind of role model are you portraying? Her use of the English language is atrocious. Plus she is more opinionated than Demetria. I will continue to watch WFAA in the evening and weekends . I will also watch ABC when the morning crew is not airing. Farewell Friends!

The best start to my day. Man, I watch every morning to see what my commute and the weather is going to be like. I laugh because my grandchildren will come in to watch the news when I’m in my bathroom getting ready. I have three little Gregs at the house. I love the new app because I am able to watch on my phone while getting ready while my grand babies watch while sitting on my bed lol. The app also enables me to keep up with the latest and I can catch up on anything I missed the night before. I can go on and on but I won’t... suffice it to say I love it whoop whoop!🙌😄❤️

WFAA the best in DFW!. WFAA is the best station for news, sports, weather and overall broadcasting in the state of Texas. I have watched channel 8 since we moved to Texas when I was in my early teens. It truly does support the best staff and news. I like the honesty they show, their humor and always their humility, most of all the dedication they show to kindness! I will be a devoted fan as long as God allows me to be on our earth! I love all of the past and present broadcast staff! Tina Sparger-Buice

Quality News Reports. We live in Van, Texas (about 90 miles east of Dallas near Tyler) but keep our TV on Channel 8 WFAA. Currently, we are unable to get WFAA due to the AT&T/Direct TV dispute. We miss our favorites...Dale, Izzy, Chris, Pete, & the National News w/David M. Hopefully, this contract dispute will be settled soon but if you can tell me any other way we might be able to get WFAA through another source, please advise me. Living in the country is wonderful, but we don’t always have access to different sources for media.

With Family Scattered Across North Texas.... ...the WFAA internet feed makes us feel like we are still in the DFW area even though we live in the Eastern Florida Panhandle. The broad North Texas weather coverage is what keeps us returning to the app. Ch8 coverage is Superior to the Weather Channel in many ways, which otherwise is our “go-to” for weather. WFAA Local news features are what capture our attention and keep us viewing. Keep up the good work.

Good but could use tweaks. I’d love it the developers added the feature to be able to pinch zoom/enlarge an article on the fly. There’s no way to do that. So if you are having trouble reading it or the images contained (such as weather maps and such) too bad. Would also love to be able to tap an image and bring it up separately where it can enlarged. As it is, the weather report articles are completely useless because you can’t at all read maps and I’m on one of the larger iPhones. I downloaded the app specifically for the weather updates but find I’d like to read non-weather related articles but without zooming it is just annoying. Developers: please add this basic functionality!!!

Enjoying WFAA from Tyler Texas!. I have always enjoyed WFAA since we have been able to enjoy it on our cable. After they removed it from our cable, I downloaded the app and have enjoyed it since. Thank you for providing the news live so we can enjoy seeing up to date news and weather from the metroplex and the world. We would not see it locally without it. Love love love your morning show!! Tashara is awesome too!

App review. While I enjoy being able to see news stories, I use the app mainly for weather. I occasionally will eat a “live” or breaking news video to come up to date on the topic. My main complaint is that on these “live” breaking news stories, the videos always play an add before the live feed story starts, resulting in missing key information to the reason for streaming a live news video. This defeats the purpose of the breaking news update. This also happens with the live weather videos so a portion of the live steam is pre-emotes by the ads and you miss the information. Adds are okay on a pre-recorded video but not on a live video. Very frustrating and, again, counterproductive.

Your Weather app. The app is OK! But if it’s NOT broke don’t fix it!! So WHY??? This app??? The weather radar just isn’t like the last one and just isn’t very user friendly. I have animals and this app not very reliable!! LOVED your last app!! User friendly, reliable and could access it from anywhere in U.S. were able to pin point exact location of Ranch when zoomed in and then zoom out to see where storm is headed when examining radar.

WFAA. Has always been my news and channel of choice. They are informative and helpful on topics that we all can relate to and use in our daily life. For instance “right on the money.” As I have been sadden to see journalists come and go it will always be my channel of choice. In fact, I switched from Direct TV to Spectum last year because of the disagreement. To me it was like having my lights turned off. WFAA❣️Jules88

Enjoying the news where ever I go. I am really enjoying this app. I have you guys at the touch of my finger. I enjoy the notifications and the ability to read and listen to news as I have an opportunity. I really like weather updates. Overall a good experience. Keeping me in the know.

Absolute trash. Like other comments, previous app was better. We were under tornado warning the other night. I opened the old app but they aren’t supporting it, downloaded this sack of garbage, couldn’t find live radar, couldn’t find live weather reporting, could only find clips that were between 2 and 4 hours old. On top of that they bludgeon you with ads, want to scroll to find something? You’re going to have to fight as ads pop in and jump you around on the page. Shame on you for approving this travesty and shame on the developers who put this thing together. There are scroll bars in the middle of the screen while scrolling covering what little content there is!

Challenging app. The new app is not user friendly. Now I just avoid using it. Traffic reports aren’t easily accessible, so many pop-up ads and videos that it’s hard to read the story, can’t scroll left/right and must use the back arrow (hard to reach on larger phones. The menu at the bottom is not comprehensive. You have to click home and then scroll down to find the category you want. The only accessible category on the menu is weather. I expect much better from a main station in a market the size of DFW. Honestly, the old app was better, and the old WeatherCaster app was stellar.

Not bad, but plenty of room for improvement. I would’ve put a button for the favorite topics on the bottom menu bar. Also, please add topics and content for local college sports teams (SMU, TCU, UNT, etc) The main news page should load all at once, instead of as you scroll. A couple moments up front to load for a better overall experience when you’re scrolling is worth it. Also, it shouldn’t reload every time you go to the homepage after reading a story. Too many times I’m trying to scroll and it takes me to a story instead. The scrolling on the old app was much smoother.

Guarding Our Lives. WFAA is like a guard for North Texas, saving and alerting us to potentially dangerous weather. The commitment you and your associates make to your work saves lives. We can’t always depend on sirens especially in outlying rural communities. Many thanks and best regards to the hard work of Pete Delkus and the effort of the entire WFAA staff in keeping us informed. And hats off to providing an absolutely beautiful and informative app! Thanks for your service!

Not an improvement. the last app wasn’t the most modern or cutting edge, but it did what it needed to do, and was easy to navigate. This version has bright colors, but it’s difficult to navigate and the weather section isn’t as simple as the old one. I generally come here for the weather, and the layout is odd and not intuitive. Just not a fan, wish the old one still worked.

Anchors. I really enjoy WFAA, especially Mark and Kara, and Sonia-her the most. But the traffic woman, Tashara, she doesn’t speak the same all the time. I realize there are times to change your tone. But the way she speaks is annoying, it isn’t even good grammar. I look at news anchors as examples to the younger generation of good grammar, behavior and other things. I realize a lot of people use y’all a lot down here, but it isn’t a word!!!

Unnecessary alerts frequently. I liked the app at first. I only subscribed to get alerts for Local News, Breaking News, Emergency Weather Alerts, News on The Star and The Texas Rangers. Recently (since COVID started) I’ve been getting 3-4 notifications a day on fluff pieces that aren’t News and not what I subscribed to. In turned off alerts for everything but breaking emergency news and emergency weather reports and I still receive several notifications a day on junk like politics and fluff pieces I intentionally turned off the alerts too. I’m very disappointed how annoying this app got.

Audio on all clips, please.. Sometimes when I click on a story I find that the whole narrative is written and to my great disappointment it is very small and goes too fast for my bad eyes to read. I would prefer to have audio or the story written out below so that I can know what’s going on. My eye problems are frustrating enough without adding the frustration of not being able to read it and know the details of the story.

Love WFAA. Love this app. Keeps me up to date wherever I am. Live the alerts. Great App I Am from New York and live here during the winter. I love your station. Makes me feel so good. I will not go to bed without listening to WFAA and get the latest news. I also love the people. They interact so well with each other and all of us who watch WFAA. Thanks for a great station.

App no longer works after update - 0 stars. The app no longer opens after the update. I’m on a supported iPhone iOS. I’ve rebooted the phone. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing works. It flashes and then disappears. It hangs in the background but never fully opens. Even tho u can’t see it, it gives u the option to swipe up to close it. The UNENDING ads when you’re trying to check safety during severe weather was bad enuf...but now that u can’t even open the app, I’ll just go back to The Weather Channel. I’d give it 0 stars but the App Store forces u to give it at least 1.

Love my WFAA!. I’ve loved this station for many, many years!!! Great programming…and the local news is my favorite! From the news anchors down to the reporters, they all feel like “family” to us! Thank you for keeping us informed and entertained!!! Love this app too! Notifications from you keep us on top of the latest breaking news!

Not Impressed!. I’m used to app redesigns and getting accustomed to new features, but this new WFAA app seems to lack any sense of organization or design, and I’m just left wanting the basics I depended on back, and something easy to navigate. I went to the WFAA app for a quick glance at news and weather, but now there’s nothing quick here. It almost feels like I’ve got a loading problem, leaving an awkward looking app minus any useful formatting or design! I know I’m not the only one, when one of the first “headlines” I see is directions to use the app. That’s a big FAIL in my opinion! I’ve probably accessed this app less than a quarter as much as usual since I downloaded it. I don’t see WFAA being my top news source unless drastic improvements are made fast.

Unwanted Notifications. I had this problem before with a previous version, looks like this issue is back (don’t know how long it’s been back). Problem - I’m getting notifications about stuff I don’t care about. My notifications setting are set to only notify me about severe weather, so explain why I’m getting notified about “a great place to have a wedding at.” I’m real close to deleting the app, the issue is you guys are excellent about weather updates... Get this fixed then place create an app for the Apple TV

Jesse Huwela. Just a note to let you know how much I enjoy you doing the weather. You are usually right on the money with your forecast. I stayed right with you and Kyle during the Dallas tornadoes. I believe you and your continuous following the radar is the reason no one was seriously injured. Great job Jesse and Kyle!! I switch the channel when pompous Pete does the weather. Would love to see you become WFAA chief meteorologist!!! You do your job. I’ve never heard your belittle or put down anyone on air the way Pope Pete does. Congratulations on a job well done. Same to Kyle and Greg!!!

Impeachment. I’m so tired of Congress wasting our money and the news being so one sided. I’m a registered Democrat but I don’t want impeachment, there’s more important things that need to be addressed. Chanel 8 and other news media are giving them to much tv time. This started 4 years ago when the Democrats refused to acknowledge our president. Please media step up and represent the people, send our messages out there. What the Republicans said today at the house debate needs to be played over and over again to the public. This is the way a lot of people are feeling. Don’t be a one sided station

8 - review. The only reason i gave it 4-stars is because each time i open a video to watch it, i have to watch it in “portrait” format and cannot change to “landscape” when i turn my phone sideways; especially when i am out on my daily walk and a weather update comes in, i turn my phone sideways for a better view, but to no avail. The view is so small i can’t even see the city names.

LOL. As most business do, WFAA clearly asked people(friends and family) to give 5 stars to drown out the bad reviews! After the launch they had like 2.6 stars with a page of bad reviews and now magically they are back up and there are a barrage of glowing reviews! IF IT AIN’T BROKE DON’T FIX IT!!!! The only problem with the old app was the lack of proofreading before posting stories. But I could live with that because the stories were easy to access and sorted by topic. Also the weather radars were better than some of the actual weather apps. This new version is a jumbled mess that I will be deleting.

Best News In America. My expectations were high when I moved from Dallas to another area of the country and turned on the news. Having become used to the professional and informed staff at channel 8, it was astounding to witness such poor presentation of the news. Thankfully, I had the channel 8 app on my phone. Like a scene from the movie, “Doc Hollywood,” I daily return to see the events, weather and sports on my favorite news channel, delivered by the best in industry. Appreciate the talent and professionalism you have in journalism in the DFW Metroplex. It is the best in the country and certainly not available elsewhere. They deserve every award and continued recognition they have received and much more.

WWfaa. WFAA is the best news cast. I been watching ch. 08 since I was in school & I was living with my mom. I love ch. 08 thank u WFAA for the best news cast. I am still watching WFAA I live in Fort Worth my mom & my step mom is watching your newscast I love Pete Delkus he shows me the weather. I love Dale Hanson talking about the sports. Keep WFAA on tv. My mom lives in Arlington & we love u. Thank u for showing Donald Trump & governor Gregg Abbott last is Clay Jenkins. That they were talking about covid 19 virus 🦠 thank u what ever Pete says on his forecast is true if I watch ch. 04 it may by true but Pete is better at 5:00 pm 6:00 & 10:00 pm.

Even these reviews are mostly ads!. There are two types of reviews in this section. There are glowing five-star reviews about how great WFAA’s on-air news program is, which is true - best in D/FW. Then there are one- and two-star reviews about how horrible this redesigned app is, which is also true. Filter out the glowing praise for the live-tv news program, and you’ll see that the consensus is that the new app is simply news text from the teleprompter interspersed every few lines with three flashy horizontally-arrayed ads for toenail fungus cures, bad restaurants - you name it, it’s there with big color graphics. At least when I’m watching the news on live tv, I can make a quick restroom trip when the commercials start running. My #1 local news source is no longer my #1 online local news source.

Notifications need work. I have unchecked all news notifications. I only want weather alerts. Unfortunately, I still consistently get other alerts no matter what, Cowboys win (don’t care), some crime or whatever report (again, don't care). Don’t give me an option to opt out of those alerts if you’re not going to actually silence those alerts. If this continues, I will just delete the app or shut off all notifications.

News great, politics too much. Been watching for years. Love everything but your politics. Should be more neutral. Micheal is my favorite because he is more neutral and he is very uplifting. I am older and wish more people would be like Walter Cronkite and just tell it like it is with no opinions. It has gotten worse since 2000- just going to have to blame Biden or whomever is calling the shots. People are not as stupid as you think. Most of them anyways. Play of the day is my favorite part because we get to smile.

WFFA app is great. I have truly enjoyed this application with it’s breaking news and weather reports. Keeping me informed on what going on local, national and across the world with the truth in news. I love Dale Hanson with his news commentary and sports. The weather team is outstanding in the nation with it on the spot weather events. This app is A one and free without a television cable network subscription agin I love this app. Keep up the excellent work guys.

Give me my easy access radars back!. Why? The old app had the VERY BEST access to weather radars. Now I have to scroll through different categories and can’t pull up individual radars. Take me back to the original. I don’t understand why this change was necessary??? I really hope the people at the station actually read these comments. I did, and I see that I’m not alone in my opinion. WFAA dropped the ball on this one.

Enough is enough. Does every story/post have to sound like a hillbilly wrote it? I’m tire of “y’all” in my news feed. Maybe TRY to write with a bit more professionalism because the other is really not cute, quaint, or clever. And here’s a tip: other states DO have great tacos, Mexican food, Margaritas, etc. This is why people in other states hate Texans so much.

WFAA. I moved here from Indianapolis in 2012. I fell in love with WFAA NEWS and have never switched to another channel for news. I find that WFAA NEWS is accurate, on point, informative as well as timely reporting. If there is anything negative to say about the employees who report the news it would be…that a couple of young ladies wear clothes that are too small or too tight/snug and that they need to learn how to or not cross their legs when sitting or interviewing. If the dress that she is wearing is too short or snug/small they know it when they put it on and before they come on the air. Crossing their legs is distracting and could bring unwanted attention….. Clothes that are fashionable is not for everyone. In many cases you are able to literally see up their dress which I find distracting, distasteful and offensive as a viewer. Otherwise, I love WFAA and the staff that report the news. Thank you for the opportunity to share. 🕊️

Like the app but…. The app works as intended. I downloaded it for weather notifications; however, many times I wake up to notifications about someone getting shot last night. I don’t care about that nor do I want the notifications. I turned off all notifications except for weather, yet I still get bings about violence that doesn’t impact me. What’s the deal?

News anchor. Chris-news anchor—-he sounds like his mouth is full & doesn’t come out loud & clear as Cynthia. I have tried to listen carefully, to no extent, thinking after he was here awhile, he would get better. I am aware he has an extensive news background, but his delivery is not great. My husband was news director 28 yrs at one station (first ever) & believe I have learn to know good & bad delivery on air. Thank you for reading my feedback.

WFAA weather reporting is good. After some turnover in its ranks I think WFAA is gaining back its former self with new talent. They have plenty of good competition however and will have to keep the pressure on high to excel. I like their reporting of models used, and the graphics to illuminate better, as well as display of the forecast long enough on the screen.

What’s the point. in having a news app if you can’t watch the news? If you want to actually watch the news, don’t bother downloading this app. I used to be able to watch the live 10 o’clock news as unbearable as it was with 10 minutes of commercials (15 if you accidentally touched the iphone screen). Now that seems like a luxury, seeing as they have removed the “watch live” capability all together. Thanks News 8. After 30 years of loyalty, this is what I get.

Reporting on national issues is too liberal. Need to do a little house cleaning on reporters who do your “climate change” pieces. Most recent included accepted but not proven info and a stance based on the creator’s personal opinion and emotional base instead of facts. Emotional based vs fact based is the hallmark of liberal views.

How and Why I enjoy my WFAA. WFAA Managers alway make sure they will never offend any criminals dummy elected officals that make stupid decision or support do news story that will support china, socialist and democrats. Thank God that Dale H😄😂has another gig a bit maybe he can join little Jerry Jones and and his old Kids. I am Ted “The Texan “till the end. I am just Smiling & Smiling because of Dale H’s retirement.

My go to source for updated information. I am able to check for local news

Best local radars! Perfect push updates. They don’t overdo the push notifications and they give me interesting things here and there I wouldn’t normally read but it’s never annoying. LOVE LOVE their weather coverage, always get the best radar views on their app, local and north Texas and all of the state and nationwide - easy to scroll and click really love this app. Great job WFAA

TERRIBLE. Update: switched to NBC 5 DFW. I have used the previous app for years. I like to check the local news and weather daily. This one is trash. It’s hard to navigate and I’m not seeing many new stories. Same old news and 47 ways to hear about Amber Guyger. Is this the only news you have? If not, the layout is terrible. How can body painting be on the front page news for days & days? In conclusion, terrible & deleting it. Hopefully, one of the other local stations have a legit app I can get my news from.

News. The same news is on the app needs to change more. You scroll down and it is the same stories day after day

Maddeningly unstable app. App content is good but after only a few uses, content just won’t load. Sometimes I can get headlines, but nothing beyond that. Most times, a spinning icon seems to indicate it’s trying to load content, but nothing ever appears. This can go on for hours or sometimes days. Have deleted & reinstalled app many times but no chg in performance. My i-phone is 6 mos old, 256GB, plenty of memory available, & zero probs with any other apps.

The last time to see it!. This will be our last time to see the total eclipse in our lifetime. We would like to see it from a pretty place. We are here in Plano, so we would not need Southwest Airlines, but we would need a pretty place. Yours Truly, Mrs. Margaret Garcia

WFAA. I have been a big fan of WFAA since the 1960’s my dad Frank Clarke who played for the Dallas Cowboys and was the first black sports news anchor at channel 8 I have always watched channel 8 all my life and watching all the changes I am proud to see how far WFAA channel 8 has moved into the future keep up the good work may GOD bless you all

Don’t like the new app. So how can I get the old app back? Way too much flash, less emphasis on content. Radars are slower and harder to navigate. Content previews are not as good. Going to give NBC and CBS apps a try for local news. I don’t need a 5 second animated motion graphic when I open it telling me good afternoon. When I read an article and go back, it loses my place and takes me back to the top. I have a hard time finding anything but the top 5 headlines. I’m moving on to a different news outlet. Will check back in a few months and see if this one has reverted. Money well spent WFAA.......

👍good work. You all are doing a great job! I only have one complaint but that goes for all stations. It’s terrible how when something happens to a family stations want to be the first to report so they go after a family whom just lost someone or going thru bad situations to get a response, y’all should give a privacy period but instead the media bugs them to get first interviews. Media BRAGS how they are the first to report. Yes y’all ask at times but really! Yes faces can be not shown but media is so pushy, some reporters come off so insensitive. So many people I know believe this. However as far as normal news you should be reporting you do a good job! This is a waste of time for us both I know because this won’t change but you asked! Christine Jackson Northlake Texas

Watch live. Being able to see Greg and the team live makes up for app shortcomings. Could be easier to find news stories or segments of interest.

New app- new crap. Congratulations for creating an app with the news squeezed in between the ads. Instead of a clear-to-follow home page, one can now scroll endlessly. I use the radar a lot,and this feels like a step backwards. Doesn’t seem to let me flip screen horizontally for better map, and some screens have so much garbage on the screen, the radar is covered. You must have tested this on 3 year olds who are happy to continually scroll through colorful images. Not an improvement. Way to go. On the search for radar that serves as more than an ad opportunity. Sad day.

Really enjoy the app. My go to app for DFW weather / news. They push out relevant stories that are “breaking” and I enjoy their radar maps for when weather bad (6 months of the year it feels like). That Zelkas guy isn’t bad either 😀

Good information tricky app. Love the weather information but when I click on the weather forecast video it’s like there’s a hiccup. It starts with no sound, stops, starts again with sound. Every time.

Previous version of app was better. The app now is slow and while watching videos it’s always freezing and reloading. The old app was way better and a lot easier to use.

It’s messy. The app is aesthetically messy and confusing. It is hard to distinguish the news stories! They leave old news stories up too long! There are way too many ads!

Not perfect. Wish I was more generation Z, then I wouldn’t need to watch the tv. Only reason this isn’t a 5 is that the tv doesn’t match or have more info than the Appl. The weather forecast on tv doesn’t match the forecast on the app. even after 2 days of waiting, the forecast on changes when someone decides to work. Also, a story on tv doesn’t always get to the app. Often I would watch a segment on tv and go to the app to send to others. that story isn’t on the app, even after waiting for a couple of days. Overall. it does the job when I can’t see the live/tv version. glad to have the app.

World Wide News. I love the fact that you get not only local news, but we know what’s going on just about any where in the world. And the weather updates is fantastic.

Relevant local+ news. My go-to news app stopped service a few years ago and I’ve been looking for a solid replacement ever since. The Post is great, but I want local news, too. This fits!

Worse than the prior app!. I love WFAA and I go to the website when I want my local news. But this app does not function well at all. In the beginning all you had to do was swipe to go to the next news story. Then it evolved into scrolling to the bottom to go to the next news story. Now you have to go back and forth in order to read the next one?!?! I’m getting rid of this app because it’s useless and I’ll just use a competing local news station app since it flows much better.

Ads. I went to the app to watch a live report from the governor on Covid-19, and almost immediately the video feed went to a 40 second ad for a video game!! I couldn’t bypass the ad either... I didn’t like that AT ALL!

WFAA. To be honest you miss the weather (rain primarily & storms) too much & are too left leaning for general public consumption. Not sure what changed in last couple yrs for you but I have followed you for decades and I must say it’s very disappointing. We’re not for the radar. I might not even come to your app anymore. Sry, you used to be my go to. Do you have a great help meteorologist I’m not sure what’s wrong.

A News App With Little Information. What a lousy news site. When the page finally loads, it shows one news story. The user has to scroll through several pages jus to see what is going on. And most of the stories shown aren’t really news, but human interest stories. If I want to check the weather, I have to scroll down. If I want to check scores, I have to scroll down. Please just put the vitals on the first page or give easy links links to other sections.

Not an improvement. Your latest app is harder to navigate, gives less focused information. I don’t want to hear and watch the news online. I want to read it. I can watch the news on your TV broadcast. I don’t like having to find the long list of features and search for local, state and national news among all of the other features. Let me see the important news and then I can search for the extra stuff.

App review. Constantly have to restart my phone to get the app to open up. No matter which iPhone or which software version. Love the content just a pain to open up. Just keeps circling.

The best DFW TV app to keep you informed. WFAA does a great job of keeping me up-to-date on what’s going on in the DFW area and what I missed overnight. Whether you live in DFW or are planning a trip there, this is the app you should have active on your iPhone. These guys and gals are thorough in their coverage.

Great except….. This app is great except that the notification settings don’t work. I love the notifications for all actual news related topics, but cant turn off the dang sports. I’ve toggled off all sports related notifications within the app’s settings, but I still get them -_-

New app. Really do not like the new weather app. It may be a user issue. I want to and able to blow up the one I am looking at. I want to have custom so wherever I am I can open it immediately to see a radar. I am a weather not. Just wish what I had which seems to be so much easier. Otherwise All good.

Maybe on purpose!. It refocused the Rangers into being angry and loosing their focus and keeping our closer on the bench for 15 (?) minutes. That delay got his arm cold and causedRanger batters to focus on anger rather than fundamentals. Changed the whole rythem of the game which Houston needed at that time. Altuve never looses focus and neither did Pressely. All it took.

-20 Stars (For no articles on Dallas Stars). Does anyone follow the Dallas Stars? Forget about the Stars section on this app. Big Cowboys fan? Not a problem! Wall to wall - every single day! The latest Stars article is about the tornado that hit a players house - A month ago! (mean while the Stars are playing 2/3 games a week) The next story is about a fan. Any articles about games? Standings? Performances? Not ONE single article. not ONE! This new app is so jumbled with very large ad’s placed in between news stories. Why? It must be revenue driven. Why do app upgrades always seem to make things worse. I don’t use this app anymore for local Dallas news. I installed Fox 4 news app and deleted this crap of an app and now they’ve lost a user. Hope that revenue thing works out for you.

WFAA Channel 8 & WFAA App. For up to date news coverage I rely on WFAA Channel 8 and the WFAA app. I look forward to my phone notifications and am thankful to be able to keep up with what is happening in my sphere locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally. Thank you, WFAA, for a job well done. 😁👍🏼

News and weather always available!. I rely on WFAA for most of my news. I get alerts on my phone for important news or impending bad weather. Pete Delkus is THE best weather guy. I appreciate the inspirational stories as well. Between the TV and my phone I’m well informed. Good job y’all!

Can't manage notifications. Despite having a seemingly functional menu to manage notification preferences, the settings selected don't actually affect what notifications you get. Everything else worked fine, but I had to uninstall because I was getting a notification every hour for something I didn't care to see.

Ads During Breaking News. I understand your relentless need to overwhelm me with ads 24/7, but why must you do this during a breaking news video? I get locked into watching all 30 seconds of a stupid ad, and by the time the video loads, I have completely missed the breaking story. And then, when the video starts buffering or fails, and it finally starts again, I have to watch another 30 second ad. Not fun when lives are at stake or there is critical information.

The old weather section was better. When they updated their app several months ago, the weather section which I use the most is not as user friendly or logical as it used to be.

Thanks Weather Folks. Y’all r pretty spot on with the high tech monitors. You say when rain is coming, and it’s all been accurate, almost set ur clock or time piece to it. (O wait, that gives away my age) Keep up the great work Jessie, Kyle, Dave, and Greg

Absolutely the best!. During the unprecedented winter storm in Texas this app was right by my side keeping me informed on the latest news, weather and safety information that I needed! Keep up the great work! There was no other app that was as dependable as this one! A million thanks to all involved!

Title. I have never been a big sports fan. However, Dale Hanson is the only sports commentator I will listen to. He makes even sports interesting to me most of the time. And I really enjoy him when he is “unplugged”. Btw, I almost always agree with him.

Still not as good as old app. I down loaded this new app as soon as I was notified to do so. The old app had small, neat tiles so one could find interest areas fast. Now I have to scroll and scroll down to find something. Then, when I can see it, it moves further down screen out of view while yet another add loads in its place! Argh! Also, the weather still doesn’t regularly show a 5 or 10 day forecast. Ok, great, I can see today’s temps and rain possibility. BUT, I want to plan activities further out! I just NBC5 app now - it has it all!

My channel. I’m so glad that for so many years channel 8 has been my “go to” for current news and they also promote inspirational stories that make you feel uplifted! Having the app to keep up to date and to vote with is a great bonus!

Daily fix. I am enjoying the WFAA tremendously. After moving out of the metroplex, I have not found another news station in my new hometown that in anyway is as informational, balanced, knowledgeable, friendly, diverse, and easy to watch as my WFAA . I am not as homesick after I connect on the app!

Up to date and in the know. Where ever and when ever news breaks I can depend on WFAA to bring me the latest. I can also rely on WFAA to not only send me the latest in headline news but follow up on the stories they report. WFAA is my source for news and information. *****rated five star in my book. I feel I’m always up to date on the latest headlines no matter if it’s after hours or on the weekends. Not just around the block but around the world if it’s breaking news I have the latest at home or on the go. I depend on WFAA, my news source.

Reliable. Prompt notifications of breaking news and accurate weather information.

Favorite Station. This is the only station I watch for news and weather! I have trusted WFAA to bring the news and weather since 1974. Now I especially like watching, as one of your reporters was in my daughter’s kindergarten class.😉

New app. I’ve always been a huge fan of WFAA, both the TV news and their website/app. Not a huge fan of the new app, however. It is not as easy to maneuver between subjects. Many repetitions of stories on same page. Weather is less comprehensive. Much preferred the old site......

Shockingly worse than the old one. This app is just fancy graphics and thats it. The old app was not great, but at least a little easier to navigate. Can we not just have a list of articles to read? Why is that hard? Obviously multiple people had to sign off on this, but do they not use apps ever? How could this get a thumbs up? Also, any business that advertises on there is wasting their money. TBH, I am far less likely to patronize a business if your trash ad pops up while I’m trying to read.

Needs improvement!! Tired of the endless ads. I’m so frustrated with your app! Severe weather and rotation and baseball hail in my area, sirens going off, I try to look at the app and radar and I have to watch advertisements. Are y’all really that hard up that you need ads every time you try to look at the news or weather? I installed pinpoint weather app from the Brazos Valley and get none of that mess. They even warn me of weather in my area via alerts before you guys do.
