The Truth
People are sick of your lies. I don’t watch the news anymore I don’t watch you I don’t watch CNN I don’t watch any of the fake news stations! I don’t believe anything you say and I’m just sick of it, I would love to have the old news shows back where I enjoyed it look forward to watching it and could believe what I was hearing. You have lost most of yourAudience because of your bad choices 25 .You have lost all credibility with the American people! Are up before it’s to late!

Best in Twin Cities, but still bad app
Let me start with the good things:
KSTP seems to report the most “news” of any local station and generally does not report opinions and speculation, like some of the other stations.
Copper 5 footage can be watched live and raw through the app when an event is happening, which is by far the most unique and best feature of the app.
Ads are generally short and can often be skipped, which means I can actually spend some time on the app before I get to annoyed by ads and cannot watch anymore.
This has all the makings of a 5-star app, but:
It is incredibly annoying that when you open a news app to read the news, the first thing you need to do is click on a button “more news” to actually see the articles. I believe most users open up this app for news and it should open to the news. Then maybe tabs across the top to switch to other things like weather. Or, have a “dashboard/home” button and let the user decide how to start the app in settings.
When you are reading a story, close the app for a minute or so, and open again, the app restarts instead of coming back to that story. Horrible design.
You cannot copy/paste more than one paragraph at a time. Also annoying when you want to send part of a story to a friend who isn’t going to click on a web link to see it.
Otherwise a decent app, but mainly needs an option to open directly to the news!

Videos Constantly Play
News story videos constantly start without prompt. Thought that was against the law? Scrolling through the news articles and it resets and brings you to the top for no reason, having to scroll to where you left off, only to again refresh to the top. About over this app. I can get local news so many other places. Not worth it.

New update is awful
I have greatly enjoy this app for years, it’s been my go to for news & weather. Unfortunately, a recent update included ads automatically starting each time a news story is clicked on to be read. It is SO annoying and irritating that I will sadly need to delete this app and find another avenue to get news and weather. I used tell my family and friends to download this app, I can no longer do that. I now advise to avoid this app unless having ads blaring while trying to read the news is not bothersome, irritating or annoying to you.

App update
Well, the malicious banner ad pop ups stopped. So that is good. And I guess at least adding the little “ad” logo on the ads makes it better, even if every ad is still clickbait crap. I know ads pay for the app, but I still hate seeing a “news” app littered with misleading clickbait links every couple of stories. But now I have to see an ad picture of someone removing earwax between each article. I think I am done
Besides that, and more of a general thing than just the app, please hire writers that can use proper grammar and please hire real editors. The number of paragraphs cut off short, typos and examples of poor writing is embarrassing for a “news” outlet. Don’t worry, Kare 11 is just as bad. Makes me ignore half the local news. Being first out with stories should not come before being accurate and actually proof reading the content.

My first source for news
When I want to check the morning news, I start with 5 News. It has the sections I want. A good blend of national and local news. After the latest update, each story appears twice as I swipe through the news. Only annoying, content is still enjoyable.
After the latest update, I can no longer swipe left for the next story. Dislike having to scroll al the way to the bottom of the page.

Neophobia
I like the investigative reports I think a good topic to check out would be Long term affects with people that have neophobia I think it would be an interest in the medical field thank you for your time. Also checkout disability hold up, that OK
Great for weather and more
I got this app for weather, KSTP has a very good weather room and here in MN weather can kill you. Best to be prepared. Then found they are very good with local news and other alerts. Stuff you need not just a load of alerts like others. Very good!
Do not like how the weather app was incorporated into the news app!
I really liked the previous weather app where I was able to receive separate alerts that are just weather-related. It bugs me that to receive weather notifications, I also have to receive news notifications. If there is a way to change this, I haven’t figured it out.
Not good for those who just want weather
The new upgrade makes me so sad. I’ve had the KSTP weather app on my phone for quite a few years. Just deleted it when I saw that there was not an option for just the weather. Also, when I tried to use the app the new radars were frustratingly hard to use. Same Wi-Fi, and the app also seems incredibly slow. Very sad since this weather guys are my weather guys.
