Thanks, KVUE! ### 5/5 — Reliable local news, right when you need it *2025-01-09, version 46.4.1* Local news is essential, especially in todays fast moving world. KVUE doesn’t just report on local news, it creates coverage on local issues that matter. From weather and politics to crime and live music, KVUE has it all ! ### 5/5 — Just a review *2025-01-09, version 46.4.1* Always something 😑 but I guess I'm starting to like the news more ### 5/5 — Great on my phone/ unable to view on tv *2025-01-05, version 46.4.1* I don’t understand why this app will not work on my tv but is great on my phone! I’ve tried under Spectrum internet & now Google - nothing ### 5/5 — KVUE is the first channel I watch for news *2024-09-04, version 46.4.1* I am a native Austinite and every since channel 24 came to Austin it has been my favorite channel. It’s the first one I go to to hear what is happening in our area. ### 5/5 — Great App. *2024-08-24, version 46.4.1* Love this app. Granddaughter is going to UT Austin. This app helps me keep up with what's happening in Austin....Informative, and great weather report. Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Great morning team! *2024-07-17, version 46.4.1* I have watched for several years and always am happy to see Yvonne, Rob and Hannah to start the day! Great energy! I have missed seeing them with DIRECTV not playing for a while! ### 3/5 — Love your local staff *2024-07-07, version 46.3.1* Not care fore ABC political stance. Our country is in trouble but you have been covering for Biden. But in the mornings at work we watch the Australia news to get the real national happening in America. WE do watch our local news twice a day on KVUE ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — o Longer Worth Using *2026-08-19, version 50.21.3* I’ve been using this app and it’s predecessor for years solely for alergy news. Which is now as useless as the Weather Channel app. I’ve been recommending this app for years for that one feature. Uninstalled and It makes me sad. ### 1/5 — The new app is awful *2026-04-19* Everything about the new app that got launched is terrible. Half the time the weather doesn't load and you have to force close and reopen the app. It's bright white, and you don't have the choice to go to the dark color scheme. If you want to look at the weather, you have to choose between looking at the wind, the precipitation, et Cedre instead of being able to see it in a glance like you could before. Also, the new radar is awful. I miss the old app it was really user-friendly and so easy to get the information you needed quickly. Do not recommend ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2026-03-24, version 50.6.8* This app now fails to go into landscape mode on my iPad making it worthless. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-01-26, version 46.5.3* This app keeps freezing on me. I’ve reloaded it 3 times, and I’m done. No more. ### 1/5 — Promoting poor online security *2025-06-05, version 46.5.3* No I will not turn on ad tracking for you guys. In fact, I’m deleting your ap since you keep asking. ### 1/5 — Cesspool of Advertising *2024-03-25, version 46.1.1* KVUE app used to be good but now is a cesspool of trashy advertisements that keep one from viewing the real content. You can skip this app. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-02-15, version 44.3* Bad ### 1/5 — Asks for ad ‘personalization’ to be turned on *2022-07-18, version 44.2.3* Stop trying to justify predatory ad tracking. ### 1/5 — Weather crashes app *2022-06-24, version 44.0.52* Weather video crashes app. So frustrating….. ### 1/5 — App is crashing *2022-06-02, version 44.0.52* Is there an issue with the Apple version of this app? It worked great for a while but now every time I go to open the weather link it literally crashes and shuts down the app. It’s not my devices since every other app I use is fine, and my internet is stable. I tried to go to your app support link but the virtual assistant insists on sending me to an android agent… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Storms/ safety *2026-07-16, version 50.16.0* As long as we get the honest truth with compassion, I will continue to watch and listen to KVUE AUSTIN NEWS. Blessings for a wonderful safe weekend. 🙏❤️🇺🇸 ### 5/5 — Dependable news *2026-06-17, version 50.13.0* The team is professional, fun and always providing the news in an ethical and respectful manner. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-01, version 46.5.3* Good ### 5/5 — Local weather *2025-12-29, version 46.5.3* Local and relevant weather forecasts is the only reason I have this app. ### 5/5 — Allergy forecast *2025-12-28, version 46.5.3* Great daily pollen levels! ### 5/5 — Weather wise *2025-11-10, version 46.5.3* Great information on current weather conditions ### 5/5 — KVUE Best in the Business *2025-10-03, version 46.5.3* From before sunup to well after sundown you can rely on the KVUE News Team for updates on what’s happening in Central Texas. If you’re up early enough…they’ll keep you laughing as well! ### 5/5 — KVUE *2025-09-29, version 46.5.3* Great station ### 5/5 — Weather forecasts and warnings accessible when you need them! *2025-08-15, version 46.5.3* Thank you, KVUE for providing this critically-needed service!

Dan Petit/Petit Technical College ### 5/5 — Why you have my attention *2025-07-04, version 46.5.3* Your app is really well structured right now. You have a very nice balance of news footage dominating the view I get on my phone rather than being tortured by adverts making navigation so much more of a challenge. Simple works really well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
