It autoplays obtrusive audio of off-screen ads even if my phone is on silent, you can’t swipe to go back on pages, and even though every page is riddled with ads it pops up and locks the app for 5-10 seconds to display ANOTHER ad every 2-3 stories. The dizzying autoscroll it performs when you navigate back to the home screen is actually the worst UI design I’ve ever experienced in person. In an age where anyone with $100 can pay someone to design an app which is better than this, this stands as an empirical example of American hubris and poor taste. ### 2/5 — Loafing *2026-03-10, version 5.0.1* Will not open after downloading ### 1/5 — . *2026-03-08, version 5.0.1* Sucks. And the sound should default to on but rather to off for video clips in news stories. ### 1/5 — Booo *2026-03-08, version 5.0.1* Do not like the new format. Old one was much easier to navigate. Way too much busy stuff. ### 2/5 — Worse and worse *2026-03-07, version 5.0.1* Inundated with ads. So long, 10/11. ### 1/5 — Loafing *2025-02-27, version 4.0.19* Will not open after downloading ### 1/5 — Amateur! *2025-02-02, version 4.0.19* Application keeps crashing once you opened a news article. Whomever designed this application needs to go back to coding 101. ### 1/5 — New errors *2025-01-27, version 4.0.19* To have me informing you that you’re not doing a good job, you request me to donate to you. Please, how else can you do scam’s ### 3/5 — Too many notifications *2025-01-17* I really like this app but recently there have been way too many news story notifications. ### 2/5 — Propaganda *2024-11-06* I don’t understand why we can’t have non-biased news. The opinion pieces that this app tries to pass off as “news” is ridiculous. The only reason I keep this app is because I like to see local news which tends to be less biased. ### 2/5 — Kristin coggins *2024-06-13, version 4.0.16* Please do some more investigating on this story!!!! You did not get all of the right info First of all A 3rd party co. Called Flix I replacing the original training table!! All 21 employees will loose their jobs, some J who have been there 5-20 yr!!!!!! Yes, they can work for Flik if they reapply, they will not be affiliated with UNL anymore!! Their paychecks will not be from UNL!!!! There other option is to work for housing at UNL. Some will have to take pay cuts! Executive chef at UNL was told Flix has no job for him with Flix. Please check into this story if u want to tell the whole picture!! The Husker Faithful need to know how they treat their employees!! ### 1/5 — Horrible app! *2024-02-12, version 4.0.16* This App constantly gives me alerts that don’t link to anything. ### 1/5 — Mkubly *2023-10-16, version 4.0.14* Stories will not download. I have reported it 3 times.No answer ### 2/5 — Newest update broke the app *2023-02-01* Don’t know what the folks behind the scenes did to the app, ever since the most recent update the app will not open. I can let the app sit till my screen auto locks and it never opens. Definitely time to roll back the update and hire come quality control folks to test these updates before loading the up for folks to download. ### 1/5 — Clearly one sided reporting. *2023-01-13* KOLN News clearly falls off the cliff Left. For a small “small town” news source, one would think that a bit more balance would be seen. Nope! Zero two sided reporting. The brass at KOLN must be terrified of retaliation of the extreme Left for any even handed news reporting. ### 3/5 — Won’t load or crashes. *2022-10-25* Crashing or not opening at all. Never used to have this problem. Latest update issues? Cannot get it to load at all now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pedestrian app *2026-05-07, version 5.0.5* Cannot find live broadcasts on iOS app ### 1/5 — Format *2026-03-31, version 5.0.4* Don’t like it. Go back to the previous format. ### 1/5 — No news, just ads *2026-03-30* After the upgrade, ads pop up before each story and several times during a story. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Update is lacking *2026-03-25, version 5.0.4* Ever since the update, it always shows there is new information to review. None of the links in contact is work. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-16, version 5.0.4* Stop the ads popping up every time you click out of the app and go back. The organization of this is awful. ### 1/5 — I want the old app back *2026-03-15, version 5.0.4* Not fond of the new app. Why couldn’t things be left alone. ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-03-13, version 5.0.4* How many times I have to dismiss John Henry’s plumbing ad?? If I could revert to the previous release I would. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2026-03-12, version 5.0.4* Go back to the previous version. ### 1/5 — Notification alert on app *2026-03-11, version 5.0.4* Unable to remove the red dot notice. Unlike ALL of my other apps I cannot find and mark as seen (or read). This is annoying to a person with OCD. ### 1/5 — New App Sux *2026-03-10, version 5.0.1* It always shows you have something open/new on IOS. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 1011 news *2026-06-22, version 5.0.8* This is such a great news app I’ve had ### 5/5 — 1011 NOW News *2025-04-04, version 4.0.19* Love it!!! ### 5/5 — 1011 news *2024-01-27* Good reporting,Excellent on all news and weather,u can’t ask for anything better,I’m very happy with this app,it gives me the option to select different topics, and they are on the ball with the NEWS,Thank you so much for the opportunity to have this app. ### 5/5 — Stability issues *2018-06-09* This app has stability issues and fails to load OFTEN. I’ve tried to use it for over a year now to get local news and weather and have spent more time trying to get it to load than actually using it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-09-15, version 3.1.1* Love the app it's really helpful 😊😊 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-04-24, version 3.0.1* Especially good for weather news. But all around good app for news too. ### 5/5 — Great app for news *2015-03-08, version 2.0.1* Was having some issues but now is working 100%. ### 5/5 — Well organized *2014-04-16, version 1.06* This app is well organized! And when winter school closings are happening, I know I can depend on this app in finding out in the fastest way if my school is closed. Also beware that current news and happenings are constantly updated! Great app! ### 4/5 — I get the info I need, just with an annoying ad *2018-08-18* Every time the app opens, the ReBath ad takes up the whole screen. I get it, ads help pay for the cost, but it’s ridiculous and more than annoying. I’m not opening a ReBath app. ### 4/5 — School Closing List *2016-10-03, version 3.1.1* Love the app. Hope Central Community College can be added to the school closing notifications list. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
