Hasn't worked properly since overhaul

App crashes often when trying to read a story. Constant loading of ads means the story text (when the app doesn't crash) shifts down the page repeatedly, so when I'm trying to scroll down, sometimes the place where I've placed my thumb suddenly becomes the middle of an ad and now I'm opening a new window because I've inadvertently clicked into an ad window. The organization of the menus is frustrating and "back" doesn't take me back into the list I was in, but back to the top of home every time. Not terribly user friendly or efficient and clearly pretty buggy.

Response from developer

@hunterjen We're so sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. We're actively investigating the cause of the app crash as that is certainly not an issue we intend for our users to have. We're releasing an update shortly that will help address some of your navigation concerns, with more improvements to come in future updates!

Hard to navigate

This app is useless too me. So hard to use, you scroll down to read an article and an ad pops up and moves what you want to read down or up. Very hard to find anything!!!! I love KTVB news, but will not be using this app.

Difficult to navigate

I want the old app back!! No traffic report, the radar is useless, itโ€™s really difficult to navigate the news. The โ€œoldโ€ news is on the app for days, and, any new alerts take a several hours before they appear on the new app. Please revise the app so that it is user friendly.

Response from developer

@grammyin Idaho Thank you for your feedback. The traffic is available on the Homepage in the Commuter Outlook section. We are releasing an update shortly that will allow you to see more information on the radar. We hope you enjoy!

Terrible

This app is horrible. Worse than the last. Crashes constantly. Canโ€™t even finish a single article before it crashes. Happens when you scroll. Probably just going to have to rely on channel 6 app for my news.

Itโ€™s a swing and a miss.

Back to the drawing board, people. I only downloaded it because you disabled your previous app. By the way, not cool. Iโ€™m very disappointed in the replacement that you have put out. It freezes constantly and is completely unusable. I donโ€™t have time to deal with that so I will be looking for an app from one of your competitors that will allow me to actually read LOCAL news articles. In the meantime, I really do hope you get this fix and functioning properly.

Very disappointed

The old app was a bit glitchy and crashy for me and when this one came out I was excited for no more crashes or slow loading. But man am I disappointed in the app. This morning I opened it only to find that it wonโ€™t load. I canโ€™t see the weather, articles wonโ€™t load for me, and the layout of everything is just frustrating! So KTVB do us all a favor and hire a local and professional app developer to fix this and give the community a quality WORKING app instead of hiring some tech giant that just wants your money.
