I’m just gonna delete this cause it’s been nothing but a hassle. ### 1/5 — KALB is a disappointment *2021-09-17, version 3.4.9* KALB is a disappointment ### 1/5 — Hasn’t loaded in weeks. Get update notifications but can’t load the app *2021-04-14* Bad ### 1/5 — Still the DUMBEST app *2020-07-23* Still can’t figure why the app creator hates its users so much? Randomly the app will be hijacked by an ad, usually something stupid in the form of a survey asking if you support trump or think he’s doing a good job. The entire app is held hostage until you click yes or no or something. Work around is to close the app 3 - 5 times without clicking anything to make it go away. ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2019-12-29, version 3.2.9* This app is horrible they get two thumbs DOWN!! ### 1/5 — App won’t open after updating *2019-10-11* After performing the most recent kalb app update the app doesn’t open anymore. Please help!! Nobody has even bothered to respond back!!! ### 1/5 — Elizabeth *2019-09-24, version 3.2.7* KALBTV app doesn’t open on iPhone. ### 3/5 — Bug in app *2019-03-26* Every article has an ad in the article which overlays part of the article to where you can’t read the article or the ad. ### 2/5 — Grammar *2019-03-21* I really enjoy the KALB app, but I am appalled by the number of errors! Please be more attentive to details and strive to improve grammatically. Journalism is a professional career and such errors may jeopardize the credibility of the station. ### 1/5 — Crash *2019-03-18* Keeps crashing constantly ### 4/5 — The alert!!!! *2019-02-25* The new alert that comes on to let you know there is an update or a new story is to startling, it makes you jump every time. Can it be toned down? I’m in my heart attack years! LOL ### 2/5 — Ugghh notifications *2019-02-15* Please stop all the notifications. Breaking news ok. But I don’t think somebody having a baby is breaking news note worthy. ### 1/5 — Sorry News App *2018-08-24* I want to hear about local news. Alexandria, Louisiana. Not Washington DC or Los Angeles California. I wanna see more local now like KLAX do. Step ya game up KALB. ### 1/5 — This app is garbage *2018-02-19, version 3.1.6* Full of bugs or something, no good. 👎🏽 ### 1/5 — Weather *2017-10-09* It won’t let u add other locations to see what the weather is like. Fix this!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sick 👎🏻 of 👎🏻 ads! *2026-04-20* I rarely check the “news” because of the glaring ads! Horrible experience! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-16* Hard to navigate, too many ads ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2026-03-11* This app is horrible they get two thumbs DOWN!! Why change it? ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2026-03-06* This app is horrible they get two thumbs DOWN!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-23* Shouldn’t be labeled as news. More like far left propaganda. ### 1/5 — Review *2024-12-30, version 4.0.16* App ### 1/5 — Keep dividing and making the world a sad place to live in. Keep going. *2024-07-29* Just another media outlet a part of the great divide. It went downhill the fastest in 2020 and still going down. Uninstalling and unfollowed everywhere now. You’re not making the world a better place by doing what you’re doing. You have to know that. ### 1/5 — Weather app Scott *2023-03-25* Right out of 10 ### 1/5 — Ads *2022-11-06* There is no need for so many ads. Many you have to keep scrolling to get to the topic which by the end of it you have to go to another ad. Some looks interesting and I’d like to read but I don’t have time to go to ad after ad after ad. Slow down on the ads. It’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Does Not Function *2022-08-20* Updated iOS, Updated App, still will not load. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reviews *2020-05-18* Why are the reviews so low in number? ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-02-23* This is a great app always updates on local news & weather ### 5/5 — KALB NEWS *2016-09-09, version 3.0.3* I Love My KALB CHANNEL 5 NEWS News Station. They have the best and most accurate weather forecast. I find Their News reports unbiased and to the point. ### 5/5 — Handy App *2015-12-06, version 2.1.4* My girlfriend can check her local news 3 times daily on any phone, tablet, computer, etc etc without disturbing me as I watch FOX news daily for national n worldly events!! ### 5/5 — Best App *2015-11-25, version 2.1.4* Great, Love it ### 5/5 — Kalb *2015-11-18, version 2.1.4* Love it ### 5/5 — Haven't even tried it yet!! *2015-07-15, version 2.1.2* This app is outrageously stupendous.
