I’m not in Houston but I am in LaMarque. ### 4/5 — Weather information *2026-04-18, version 50.8.8* Their weather information is the easiest to access and quickly get what I need. ### 1/5 — Noooo!!!! *2026-03-28, version 50.7.5* I hate new update 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ ### 2/5 — New Version *2026-03-25, version 50.7.5* I don’t like the new updated version of this app, I like how it used to be before the update ### 4/5 — Senior *2026-02-09, version 46.5.3* Professional Media. ### 1/5 — Delete anything SeeBS News *2026-01-30, version 46.5.3* See bs has turned into a propaganda “news” outlet. I used to watch this and now it’s over. ### 5/5 — Budget Friendly *2026-01-24, version 46.5.3* Cutting cable and satellite it’s difficult to find local news on “streaming services”. However I just loaded the app on my TV and BAM back in “the know”. Thank you all!! ### 5/5 — A+ *2025-12-26, version 46.5.3* A+ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Removed Search *2026-07-31, version 50.18.4* I’m honestly not sure why you would remove a search option when trying to find an article. Impossible to find news about something that happened in the area now. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-21, version 50.10.7* The new app is awful and has been since it was launched. Fix the iPad screen size problem how about an option to change the font size to something readable ### 1/5 — Difficult to navigate and find stories *2026-05-19, version 50.10.6* The newest look to the KHOU app is simple, and I love how easy it is now to find livestreams, but it’s so hard to find local news without categories or a search bar. Really disappointing and frustrating. ### 1/5 — Weather *2026-05-07, version 50.10.4* Can see the weather ☹️ ### 1/5 — They keep making it worse *2026-05-04, version 50.9.1* Idk what keeps compelling them to update the app but every time they do it gets worse. I will be deleting it as it’s now of no use for anything newsworthy ### 1/5 — App changed to landscape view only *2026-04-29, version 50.9.1* I hate that I can no longer choose how I view stories. Forcing landscape viewing is uncool. ### 1/5 — What happened to search?? *2026-04-29, version 50.9.1* There is no search feature within the app or the ability to filter between news categories. The UI update itself is nice aesthetically but the main features we want from a news application are just missing. I get notifications for interesting news articles and can’t even find them in the app anymore if the notification takes me to the main feed and not the article in the notification I clicked on. I don’t want to go to the website, I want to use the convenience of the app. Please bring this feature back. ### 1/5 — Used to be … *2026-04-05, version 50.8.3* This was my go to morning Houston news app, until the latest update. Now I can no longer drink my coffee and scroll, because the new updated app only presents in portrait. Yes, the landscape mode is gone … and now so is the app. ### 1/5 — Hate the new app *2026-03-29, version 50.7.5* Please go back the old version app. This one sucks. ### 1/5 — App changed to landscape view only *2026-03-28, version 50.7.5* I hate that I can no longer choose how I view stories. Forcing landscape viewing is uncool. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kim Castro *2026-08-11, version 50.21.1* She’s an amazing meteorologist. She’s very skilled and she’s an amazing communicator with us Texans. ### 5/5 — Chandler Tx *2026-07-13, version 50.15.4* ♥️ KHOU ### 5/5 — Hello *2026-06-17, version 50.13.0* I enjoy getting news update on this app. ### 5/5 — Informative *2026-06-17, version 50.13.0* I have this app along with two other Weather apps downloaded to my device in between your three of them. I stay on top of the weather. It is very informative up to the point. I can start my day with this app. No what I have to look for when I leave home. ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-06-17, version 50.13.0* I love that the app no longer has all the annoying advertisements you HAD to watch before watching every clip of news. I also love the new feature to be able to just scroll through them all and their anchors are amazing❣️💯 ### 5/5 — Info on time *2026-06-15, version 50.13.0* Always on time with info👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Happy with the app *2026-06-12, version 50.12.0* So happy with the app I get my daily news and the weather update ### 5/5 — News and weather *2026-03-02, version 46.5.3* Quick and easy access ### 5/5 — KHOU MORNING NEWS *2026-02-05, version 46.5.3* It’s great to turn on news at 7 daily and prepare for the day either you are working or retired. A comprehensive source of Houston and Surrounding cities news at 1 TV Station. Breaking news, traffic and Weather. A great friendly family feeling when I watch the KHOU news. The morning weather and traffic team with News Anchors are professional and know what to report for commuters and residents planning their day with weather forecast , and news making them aware what’s happening in city. I am very happy to recommend everyone to switch KHOU 11 news daily . ### 5/5 — The best news and entertainment channel in Houston! *2026-01-27, version 46.5.3* I not only enjoy the daily programming, but I trust their news reporting. Having experienced biased reporting years ago when a national news report that was televised was no where near what had happened. And the reason I know is because I was there. This channel’s news reporting is not only clear, and understandable, but as unbiased as it can get. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
