Good site for my local news
Finally a news outlet that has an easy to use format. My only complaint is I wish the stories were a little longer.
Best Local News App
I switched to this app from the KSBW app. I can't Bellevue how much better this app is.
Great news. Decent app.
I love the news you guys report on. You update stories frequently. I much prefer the app over ksbw. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the only 1 complaint...the notifications send and alert me multiple times on the same story, wasting my data. It isn't an update in story it literally notifies me to the same article 2-3 times. Could stand to simmer down a bit. 😄

The best local news app for the central coast, but...
There are only two local news apps for the Monterey-Salinas market, and only one worth the download. This is the one. My only complaint is that even though weather data is supplied by Weather Underground, it does not let you select a local weather station from the large community of weather providers in local neighborhoods, only major stations like airports and civic centers. Add that functionality and this app will deserve five stars.

Needs Updating
Lots of formatting issues as well as just looking generally old. Once some updating is done I would give 5 stars!
KION as I expect and enjoy - but why
Much better than the other version available for the IPhone. The KION I expect and enjoy! But why two versions of the same news channel any way? Isn't one good app better than two when one of the two is awkward and lacks user friendliness?
Great local news app.
I really like the fact that I can get local breaking news flashes right on my iPad.
Current
I don't like re reading today's news several days in row. KION seems to update more than once a day. They do a good job of updating the slide shows.
Keep it up!
Keep it up!
Eh
Pro:
Stories in general are better than those on KSBW (which is not saying much). App more user friendly than the KSBW app, no flashing/flickering ads.
Cons:
Same news story listed 2-4 times under different title. Articles loaded with very obvious spelling and grammar errors. Stories with misleading titles. The language used in terms of difficulty is below high school level and either editors are blind, not doing their job or have no idea how to write are supervising journalists who have absolutely no idea how to write. For example, their/they're/there and to/two/too are very common problems authors have (which is basic grade school English 101) -- these journalists clearly need a refund from the colleges where they got their degrees from. I'm far from a spelling Nazi & admit spell check is my friend -- these journalists & editors seriously need an introduction! As a instructor at the local junior college I would not have accepted papers submitted written that poorly (& failed out the student).
This review is written far better than the majority of articles you will read on this app. That is just plain sad. Ok. Embarrassing, really.
