Too many ads!

It’s a good app for Bako news, but there is way too many ads. Click on any link and there’s an ad. I understand you gotta make money from advertising, it’s overwhelming and hinders your purpose.

Deleted

Although I like using the website for news, I found the app annoying and difficult to use due to the ads blocking the entire screen and not having a close option.

Forced ads

More often than not these days tapping on an article will trigger an ad to open in a separate browser window. Huge security concern and just a big of an annoyance when you are just trying to read an article. The app is also build like a potato and runs like garbage.

Irritating

The ads now auto play and i just want to read the news. The ads are loud and frequently cause the whole app to freeze. I may delete it. The news content is fine, but the app itself is obnoxious.

Blaring adds!!

I hate every time I try to read a story the adds blare at you. Most of the time your reading in places that are quite. I shouldn’t have to turn my phone to silent just to read a story. The ABC app is much better in that department.

Disappointed

I liked KGET on TV, so I thought I’d try the app. Another reviewer noted that there was no weather update on the weekends. My problem was that I could never get the weather report to load and I couldn’t find a written report on the weather for any day. I drive all around Kern county and knowing even local conditions is important.

Wishful thinking

I love the news!!! Plus, they are the only ones I truly believe is LEGIT but I hate the ADS! Wish there was a ONE TIME small fee for removal of ads!!!

Freezing/Crashing/Lag

Worthless app that wont allow you to read an article without it freezing or crashing. If reading headlines ONLY interests you, then this is the app for you. If you want to read a story, this app is a no go. Another gripe I have is the constant advertisements IF and only if the app allows you to open a news story, you’ll immediately have a video play at full volume (even if your phone is on silence mode) with some game app advertisement. Also every time the app is opened you’re greeted by the creepy Bakersfield lawyer and his team.

Advertisement equals income, I understand that. But to have it jammed down your throat at every corner of the app, on top of it freezing or crashing just isn’t worth the time. Find another news app for Bakersfield. This one is absolute trash.

Horrible

It keeps crashing and I can’t see any news.
