Horrendous App

Terrible update

This latest update is awful. Slow, tons of ads, buggy, awful UI.

Lack of follow-up on news stories

Almost without fail, kait news broadcasts incidents and stores with a tag line “ for more information go onto the kait news app” What a joke, seldom if ever anything is ever added and several times original story is deleted. Subject line searches are inept

Terrible

Latest update might as well have bricked the app. Slow to load, constant pop-ups, broken links, broken features. This is awful.

Update

There are things in the recent update to the news app that need to be modified or changed. Specifically the live news feed videos that are attached or imbedded in some of the news story links are distracting and make it difficult to focus on and read the story content.
