Annoying

App has a major bug that pops up frequently. While reading an article it will cut off mid sentence, there will be a big ad to scroll past, and then the sentence won’t be continued, instead a new paragraph will start. Other times article ends mid sentence. Big chunks of info missing. Seems like ads are being pasted over the article instead of within it.

Change

When i receive notifications I’d like to actually tap on it and be directed to that story. I haven’t turned notices off but I don’t go to the ketv app to find the story. Also, when I was asked to take this survey I was directed to something that looks as though I’m supposed to download the app...???? Very confusing.... ...I’m on my third attempt at a nickname....

It great

While traveling I like to keep in touch with what’s going on in Omaha. Unfortunately for our city, there is lots of reporting on who got shot or stabbed, and car wrecks, however most of the other stories are about other cities outside of Nebraska. I want good local news! Street repairs, flooding updates, West Nile virus info, good news etc.

KETV

As a station I like you a lot. And up until now I watched your station exclusively. But once ABC banned the American Flag Pin or any show of patriotism, well I’m done with the station. On to other venues Sorry Bill and all the rest of you.

Update more often

I often get a “Breaking news” message only to find the story isn’t yet available in the app. Please make sure stories are available before sending the news flash.

Also, please update or change stories more often and work to have fewer typos.

Only one frustration

Like some other reviews I saw, my greatest frustration is receiving notifications of breaking news only to open the app and find nothing about the story in the notification. Not even a headline. Otherwise, I appreciate the coverage.

Disappointing

So often I come to this app & there is nothing there, a big black hole. Sometimes I want to watch the news. It isn’t available or doesn’t start at 10:00. Sometimes news stories are not updated. I turn to the weather report & there’s no way to tell what time it was given. I’m hearing morning info when it’s past & gone. Very frustrating. So why do I check this app first when I want local info? Beats me!

Disappointed in your news.

You lost me a day ago when your story was anti Trump about the boy dying at the Boarder, you are supposed to be unbiased and you weren’t. Very disappointed. Had watched you for almost all my 63 years.

Also I want to see local news on here. I have multiple apps for news all over the world and the US. It’s confusing when your headline is about a murder or something and it’s not in Omaha.

Football coach speaking is Not late breaking news

Please allow further alert customization within “local breaking news”. Or better yet, please reconsider what you consider breaking news and worthy of an alert. The football coach is NOT breaking news. Please allow for those who wish to receive true news do so, create an option to eliminate sports from alerts.

Changes needed

It would be nice if when I clicked on a notification or alert that the app actually took me to that specific story instead of the home page. I end up spending more time trying to find the story in the app than anything else. I usually end up closing the app and then google the story because I have better luck that way. What’s the point of getting a notification or an alert if you can’t click it and see what you are being notified for?
