Full length news
Would really like a news app that I could watch the news from beginning to end instead of just highlights with ads.
Lifesaver
Thank you for providing unparalleled service to help us stay informed with facts. I am a Social Worker and a therapist in our community and am working from home trying to connect with my clients and give them the facts as they come in that will help them to not panic. Social Workers in general do not get included with first responders or healthcare workers so it can feel like a thankless job at times, however my biggest concern is the safety and well-being of those that are vulnerable as well as those that are struggling to make sense of the world we are now living in.
I have not seen anything on Social Workers and March is Social Work Month celebrating 65 years of helping people. It would be nice to be recognized as a profession that is also on the front lines. Thank you for all your doing to give us honest information that is up to date.

From North Idaho and I watch everyday
I am from Coeur d’Alene and watch what is happening in our Capital and beyond everyday online. With all the big updates happening I check in with 7 several times a day. They give alerts on their App every-time there is breaking news.
Not user friendly
I have always enjoyed KTVB as a news station. They’re not only good as a local station, but they can sometimes give national stations a run for their money!
That being said, the app is horrible. They need to fire the developer, scrap it, and start over. It’s not user friendly in the least, and it’s just plain frustrating to navigate. I just want to click on a category and see news reports. I don’t want to have to select favorites and navigate my way through them in order to find a story.

Broken Notifications
This app is great for getting local news and weather, but insane to obnoxious with notifications. It completely ignores your topic settings and continues to deliver notifications on stories I couldn’t care less about. All I want are weather alerts and the occasional local story. Instead, I get the news notification equivalent of spam. For now, I have disabled notifications entirely for this app until this issue is fixed.

I though the app couldn’t get worse but here we are
When KTVB switched the app over to their current news obfuscating, click-farming format, it was bad enough. Now you can’t read an article without flashing news ads bracketing the top and bottom of every paragraph of every article—it’s become unreadable. I use this mildly infuriating app 20% of the time I that used to spend on it. It’s a shame that a formally reputable valley news station has quickly turned into a bad joke without a punchline.

KTVB is the 1st Place I Go For Local News
The only place I go for local news. I do get frustrated when all the news stations fail to report on important issues like the recent raid at Hometown Motors in Weiser. You should be protecting the consumer not the advertiser. Other than that you rock.
Typical local “news”
I’m not a fan of the new app layout, I just want all the headlines for the day laid out in a row like the old app. Having to pick a topic to find the stories is a bit annoying. Also a little less BSU and a little more actual area news from the station in general would be welcome. We don’t all live in Boise and we don’t all care in any way what the college teams are doing (it’s hard for me to stress these two points without swearing).

Getting Better
The KTVB app continues to improve! Would give it Five Stars, however it is still difficult to navigate to specific items. Would be nice to have a drop-down with alphabetical listing off all contents in one place linked directly to that event.
Difficult to use
The new app has limited stories on the first page, scroll past those and click on anything and try to go back it brings you all the way to the beginning. Scrolling through is a time waster and frustrating. It’s also difficult to find the different categories of stories. Using the app is cumbersome which then just leads me to going elsewhere to read news. Not to mention there is more advertising than actual news.
