Not the greatest for breaking news

My only complaint about the app, other than the ad issue which is annoying but certainly not unique to KSTP, is that the homepage doesn’t update very frequently. I’ve uninstalled it a couple times because I was just tired of seeing the same not-new news. The world moves much too quickly to have the same top story posted for multiple days.

Great for Cord Cutter

This app is fantastic. It is the best local app in the Twin Cities market. They have an app for all Apple products including Apple TV. This means you can watch the local news and weather without an antenna. And because KSTP is currently the only local channel to be this forward thinking, they happen to be the only local news channel I watch on TV.

Send better links!

I love channel 5 news, but the mobile notifications do not link back to the story. When I get a notification on my iOS device, the link takes me to the live broadcast. I would prefer it goes to the actual news report I’m being notified about or to a listing of the news stories.

Constantly resets

The news coverage isn’t the problem with this app. The problem is too many ads and every time an ad switches it reboots the screen sending you back to the top where you have to scroll down again to find where you were. I’d be reasonably happy with this app if it weren’t for this constant problem that has never been fixed.

To the channel 5 News casts:

Channel 5, KSTP has exceptional news coverage! The reporters and ALL Anchor News people make this by far the best station to watch!!!!
The morning group: Chris Evert, Megan Newquist, Ken Barlowe, and Josie Smith are my favorites to watch, as they start out my days! But all of the others are wonderful too, and the field reporters are awesome too! I love listening to Joe Mazan and his SO MINNESOTA, and the clever puns that he uses in his reports!! ❤️
A lot of people i know, don't want to listen to the news all of the time because there seems to be so much sadness and hatred in reports but i want to be informed of things going on especially Local News. I care to know.
The “ KARE” and consideration; thoughtfulness of the reporters and Anchors helps so much in their delivery to make news heard in a needed way. Thank you for being there! All of the TEAM PEOPLE❣️❣️😀

KSTP..my connection to Mpls

KSTP has been my go to channel in the Mpls area for many years. Living in the North woods has its benefits, when I want to know what is happening in our area, our state, you folks provide that information. Keep up the excellent work, I really appreciate your service.

Given up!

I’ve given up on this news app and have deleted it. This news channel is by far one of the most liberal news channels. Just want the news, not your hating on it... is that too much to ask??
The last straw was the tap to watch feature. I just want to read the story without watching the nonstop ads. I would just skip the story entirely. So if you going to skip the story what good is it to have this app, not everybody in the room wants to hear it
Fox 9 is a great news app instead

No volume when live streaming on iPhone 12

This app was great when using with my iPhone 8. After upgrading to the iPhone 12 I’m no longer able to listen to the news that’s live streaming however I’m able to watch it without sound. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it multiple times without a fix and also went into settings to refresh app without a fix. Will have to use a different app sadly.

Great Team!!

Just a note to let you know that we have watched 5 Eyewitness news for many years and I think this is one of the best set of anchors and reporters ever!!! Kevin, Jackie, Lindsey, Paul, Kirsten, Jessica, Ben, and everyone else, I feel you all are so caring and compassionate about your work and the that is what this world needs right now. Accuracy and kindness is very important to everyone and I feel that is what you portray! We will miss Dave and we wish him the best!! Sam Ryan wears many hats and does a great job! Keep up the great work everyone, we will continue to watch!! Happy and healthy 2021!!!
