### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-08-17*

To the person that says this app doesn't crash on an iPhone 4S, I beg to differ. Mine frequently crashes, stories suddenly scroll back to the top while I'm trying to read, and it's irritating to have to switch back and forth between the app and Safari. Also, only having 5-6 news stories at any given time (most of which aren't even local) hardly qualifies this good news app. No thanks, I'll stick with my channel 10 app instead.

### 1/5 — Terrible (iPhone 4)

*2012-06-13*

Wish I just got to read the story in the app. Instead it directs to the website so I have to keep switching back and forth from app to safari all the time. Really annoying. I'll stick with the channel 10 app for now.  Can read the local stories then switch over to the national news stories in app. Disappointed because I actually view your news and use your website and weather all day and was really looking forward to this app finally.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never timely.

*2025-01-26*

You can get news in print faster than this app is updated with stories.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-03-20*

I’m looking for local news not the mainstream news. I deleted this app because I couldn’t block the offensive content

### 1/5 — Not great

*2016-11-02*

Your app is constatly trying to take me to the App Store to buy someone else's app.  Terrible!  I just want to read the news not download a bunch of garbage.
Going back to KAMR

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-07-27*

I hope someone from kvii reads this review. I enjoy the news ribbons but the news articles screen will not appear. All that appears on the app is a how to guide.

### 1/5 — Local?

*2015-09-03*

Very little local news on this app. If you want national news I would recommend another App.

### 1/5 — Bad update!!

*2015-08-05*

Can no longer get the weather forecast or radar!!  Guess I'll be using Weather Underground for Channel 10 from now on.  Please fix!!!

### 1/5 — FIX THE RADAR

*2015-07-29*

Please fix the radar!  This new update is awful!

### 1/5 — Bad Radar

*2015-07-24*

Channel 7 was my go to app for weather but the radar is no longer animated which important, especially during storm season. Hopefully it'll be fixed in an update soon or I'll have to rely on another app.

### 1/5 — This App is a Joke

*2013-06-18, version 2.0*

I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app numerous times. I still can't get it off of my iPhone and I get news alerts from them, even with the app no longer installed.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2012-08-28*

One can never finish a story on this app because it constantly refreshes to the top...news channel 10's app is where it's at.

### 5/5 — Channel 7app

*2024-06-13*

The channel 7 news app always keeps me informed of breaking news and weather. I’m glad I have downloaded this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-06-12*

Works great thanks!

### 5/5 — 10 out of 10

*2012-06-11*

Best Amarillo area news app. Don't crash on the IPhone 4s

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-06-02*

Way better than news channel 10 ;) great job!

### 3/5 — Needs more local news!

*2012-08-07*

Overall, I like the functionality of this app, but I would like to see a few improvements however both in content and in the actual app.  First, is there anyone who has an iPhone and who downloads apps who would use pronews 7 for national news? I sure don't, I have several other apps if I need national news. I downloaded this app to get local news and unfortunately it seems that most of it is national. What's the point in that?  Also, it would be cool if you could actually look at user comments about going to the website. I know this app is changing, but I would like to see a lot more local news!

### 3/5 — Strange scrolling

*2012-07-11*

The screen will scroll out of no where and you have to try to find your place again. Annoying. I wish that the app works nicely and there was no scrolling.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2012-07-10*

Lacks functionality such as READING NEWS ARTICLES! Every few seconds something tries to refresh and whatever you are reading suddenly scrolls back to the top.. so to finish reading where you left off you gotta scroll back down and find your spot again, only to be randomly scrolled back to the top seconds later.

### 2/5 — No connection

*2017-12-18*

After the last update almost every time I click the app there is no connection try again. So I have just been using channel 10 app.
