Excellent!
This is a very well written app. Smart and easy to navigate. It is full of all of the information you need regarding not only our town, but nationwide and beyond. Thank you!ShortDeck
Advertising banners take up too much space
The app itself is fine. But two huge advertising banners are annoying and take up so much space it is ridiculous. Much of the time, they are the same advertisement. Can't you just have one banner?Saliandra
Remove Adds
With two add banners at the top and bottom there is very little room to view the news. I continue to try and use this app on my iPhone and am frustrated with the limited viewing area. Please remove the adds!Radpack
Old version was better.
It's still handy to have local news and weather on my phone, but I prefer the older UI. I also wish the newscasts would go back to 30 minutes. The new format drags on too much.Simplydoug
Still getting worse
The giant pictures make it hard to filter through which articles I want to read and I really can't stand the new sidebar - liked it better before the big changes: simple, easy to read. Also there are never really a lot of updates or new stories. Obviously the people in charge of the app find it more important to complicate the readers' ability to use it than to include more interesting stories. Hate it. Probably going to switch to a different news app.Show lessBuelablue
Why the changes?!
I want to go back 2-3 versions. Each update makes the app more cumbersome to use. I'm not a fan of the large pictures. I prefer to pick articles based on title not the picture since rarely does the picture even begin to depict what the story is about. Please go back to the old menu as well.Thithy31
Decline in a good app
Recent updates have only diminished this home screen news source for central Oregon news. The push notifications were once really useful, but lately the push memos have useless info as well, making me want to turn it off- I only want notifications on super important news, not what the Dow is doing.
The original app had a great report news screen to upload video or pics and report Central Oregon news to KTVZ, but that is very buggy now. New versions of software are supposed to get better, not worse.
Seems like stories disappear too soon on the app, but I suppose that is okay. It would be way better to have a way to get the weather on a simple screen. I'm not going to watch video.
News in a small community is a difficult business and having an app is great. But this attempt could be better.Show lessgrassyknoll
GREAT redesign!!!!
Those users saying they don't like the redesigned app are out of touch it seems. I use a lot of news apps and while KTVZ's is the best this upgrade sure made it a whole lot better! Finding articles and moving around the app are so much easier now. And the look is much cleaner and more professional looking.
Now I too don't love the ad layouts but they are a local station and that's where the $$ is. At least you don't get pop ups like on they web site (btw Y2K called they want their pop up ads back!).
All in all a great local news app from a small home town local affiliate! Keep up the great work!Show lessmichaeka
Good basic app but lacking....
Lack of pinch-expand zooming makes 7-day forecast hard to read ....
Liked old format/layout better too. Stop re-doing pretty things and improve actual features please... I try not to use this app whenever possible since it has always been problematic.....Idea machine
Use your own 7 day forecast!
So disappointed that you can't even use your own 7 day forecast! I use this app all the time and usually every morning to check the 7 day forecast. Now the 7 day forecast is by weather underground. Really sad!Laui1996
