Feeling Like You Are Getting To Experience Everything

You are experiencing everything as it happens. You can watch live news. This is even accessible for the blind.

What happened?

This worked last week. But now, as soon as you get rid of the ad, it’s just a blank screen. No matter what I do. Nothing to update.

App broken

Stopped working on update. Ads pop up and screen freezes.

Update

Open the app to see a window to “Update”. No update available. Delete the app and download again…only to see a window to “Update”…don’t need this. Useless, has no news to relay only a black screen

Crashes and closes when you click on weather

The whole reason I want this app if for weather and all of a sudden you click on weather and it crashes and closes the app completely.

Horrible app.

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. The content is fine. But when I get an alert about breaking news and click on the drop down it literally takes 5 minutes before I can read it. I don’t know if it’s your server, or the software itself. But I get a dim picture of the article that you can’t click on for 5 minutes. Nothing works while it’s just sitting there. I doesn’t matter whether it’s wifi or cellular. Same every time. Please tell me that I’m not the only one with this problem.

Best News App For Las Vegas

This is by far and away the best news app for Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. The news alerts come fast, and the stories are real news, not slanted one way or another. The I-Team investigations are some of the best news in the region. The only thing keeping it from getting a fifth star from me is the fact that the ads within each story do not flow “smoothly” with the rest of the page as you scroll, and they create a stutter effect on newer iPhones with the higher refresh rate screens. Fox this issue and it’s easily a dove star app.

The new update is terrible

Used to be my go to for local news. Since the new update, the interface is horrible and hard to navigate. There are now more ads then stories.

Go back to the old design. It was so much easier to use.

This update makes your app unusable.

No longer works

No longer opens correctly. Opens only to make you download the app which is already downloaded.

New update

App was updated. Continues to tell me to update. Have to hunt for the news.

Update Not Available

After downloading the app, when you open it wants you to update app, yet there is no update. Is it a Apple/IOS issue or NexStar/KLAS why app not performing well?

App update broke the app

The app just says to update the app. Uninstalled and redownloaded. Same thing. Moving to another news app. Been three days of this. Figure it out.

Update the app

What a joke. Get with the IT. The upgrade is not working.

Just awful

My app is updated yet the last 2 days when I open it, it tells me to update app with an ad the download the KLAS app. Ya can’t update something that’s already updated! Annoying & can’t read the news, etc. Useless app with useless content…only shows the same stories repeatedly. Deleting & going elsewhere.

Broken

The app keeps telling me I need to update the app. I deleted it reinstalled it and I get the same notification.

To update or not to update

It tells you to update to has the app. The link beings us here, where it says the app is in fact, updated. Bottomline: the app is bricked at the moment, avoid it!

New update doesn’t work.

When I open the app I get a message saying to update my app. I go to the App Store where it says I’ve updated to the new app, so I open it and get the message to update my app. A perpetual loop with no news.

Updated app 07/20/23

The new update is so bad. Was it even tested before rolling it out? The landing page has no news, I have to click through 3 options to get to the news.

I’m no app expert but this thing is not user friendly.

New update made app not work

The most recent update has caused the app to not work anymore…
