## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2025-12-15*

This app is horrible. I wanted to hear the news since I missed it. I have looked here. No luck. Vuit no luck and news on. No luck. Get a platform that shows your broadcast. I'm sending this information to the bbb for review!!!!👎 👎 👎 👎

### 1/5 — Where’s the Landscape Version?

*2023-01-20*

I cannot believe you do not have an auto-rotate landscape version.  I hate that!  I stick with TV7 and TV9 apps because of this.  Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Totally Left lLeaning

*2020-09-05*

I read my very first article on this site and deleted it because the angle was blatantly anti Trump. The loaded adjectives were pejorative and obviously biased. News needs to be neutral.

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2016-11-02*

Full of ads can't get rid of and they block reading the articles. Navigation and organization are poor. Opening up the app from a breaking news push notification and can't even find the article the notification was about.

### 1/5 — Unusable - nothing but game ads

*2016-10-28*

Can't even use the app. Ever time I open it, it immediately takes me to the App Store for some random game.

### 1/5 — iPad users BEWARE!

*2015-07-20*

This app is worthless in landscape mode. They for some reason only designed this to work in picture mode or the short way. I like a bigger screen for watching and reading. FIX IT!

### 1/5 — Needs much work

*2012-08-07*

Every sentence has &ntsb.  Doesn't act like an iPad app. I can't read it, so I go to KCRG, the competitor, to find out what's going on.

### 1/5 — Update

*2011-06-07*

App won't update.

### 4/5 — Works well small fix

*2023-02-09*

Title for the application shows as Iowa/‘s news now. I think the developer was trying to escape the apostrophe, but used the forward slash instead of backslash. 

Overall works well for a quick news alert and read.

### 5/5 — Fix night mode!!!!!!

*2020-02-28*

The latest version of the app has made it impossible to use the app at night. When in night mode all text in news stories and a highlighted black. Does no one test an app before they publish it???  What a joke.

### 5/5 — Our local news pioneer

*2012-01-07*

This is a true iPad app--exactly what I wanted!  A bit basic?  Yes.  But many, many multiples better than viewing an iPhone app in 2x.   And more efficient than using safari.  (The fact that this is the only one available in our market is yet another excellent example of the KGAN/KFXA commitment to breaking useful ground.)  If you are looking for quick, local news on your iPad, look no further.
