Think of getting a new wardrobe. Not going to lie…Ben Dery fan. You are trying too hard and yet you have fans. ### 2/5 — Multiple steps backwards *2026-04-13, version 50.8.3* It seems like this most recent major update removed several features. For starters, on iPad, landscape view was removed, forcing portrait move. Plus, dark mode was removed. On the livestreams, the player controls can't be hidden, and because of this, the bottom third of the stream is darker, and you can't read the ticker stories easily. The reason why I'm giving two stars instead of one is that the app is significantly faster than the old version. But shipping an app that's faster does not excuse removing features and adding friction to using it. At the very minimum, being able to hide player controls during livestreams to easily view the newscasts should be a priority. ### 2/5 — Disgusting ads *2026-04-08, version 50.8.3* App has nice features but the most disruptive (and disgusting) ads, even changing ad preferences. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2026-03-16, version 46.5.15* The news,especially weather, is not updated on this app often enough. I just tried to catch the latest weather forecast and sat through 6 ads before I finally gave up. I watch Kare 11. I wish the app was updated with the broadcasts at the very least. ### 1/5 — Too many commercials *2026-03-14, version 46.5.15* All it is commercials and advertisements ### 1/5 — App *2026-03-08, version 46.5.15* Can’t use landscape mode for app ### 1/5 — Want the News NOT App Issues!!! *2026-02-11, version 46.5.15* KARE 11 App is broken in iOS 26. ALWAYS goes back to the top of the App after exiting an article. Videos don't play properly. PLEASE FIX. Want the News Not App Issues. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Properly *2026-02-08, version 46.5.15* Used to have all the segments of the day available to watch, but now they leave out a lot of the weekend evening news. Not sure why they decided to make the app worse. ### 1/5 — Changed their coverage *2026-02-06, version 46.5.15* I will be deleting their app. They are not supporting us during these struggling times. They are not covering what our other local News stations are. ### 1/5 — So liberal it’s gross *2026-01-24, version 46.5.15* Your channel is so liberal- it’s disgusting. There is more to MN than the Twin Cities and the garbage that comes out of it. Deleting app and moving on to real news. ### 4/5 — Consistent Coverage in Minnesota *2026-01-23, version 46.5.15* KARE11 provides consistent coverage of latest news in Minnesota. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poorly Designed - Difficult to Navigate *2026-07-05, version 50.15.4* This app used to be great about ten years ago. Every update since has not been beneficial to users in any way. Why ask for feedback if none of it is ever implemented? ### 1/5 — Weather is almost unusable. *2026-06-19, version 50.13.0* Used to be my go to weather app now it’s barely works . When it does work there’s so little information. The radar is completely worthless, it doesn’t even go the entire 12 hours it states !! ### 1/5 — Terrible Update *2026-06-09, version 50.12.0* Ever since the update the radar doesn’t work. Just repeats the past 2hrs for the 12hr view. I was hoping this latest update would fix it. Nope. I’m done waiting I’m deleting this. So disappointed ### 1/5 — Very poor *2026-05-13, version 50.10.6* Navigation in the app wasn’t great before but somehow it got worse with the most recent upgrade. No longer usable enough to warrant taking up space on my device. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-09, version 50.10.4* I miss the old Kare 11 app that worked great. I just was raving about it to someone and now with this new app I feel horrible I told them to get it. Never can I see the weather. That page doesn’t work. Can’t find the radar. The layout is horrible. Go back to what you had. Don’t fix something that wasn’t broken. ### 1/5 — No Search? *2026-04-20, version 50.8.8* Honestly, I couldn’t delete this fast enough. We watch Kare11 every night, but when they prompt you to see the full story on the app good luck to you. I tried my best to search the content, but could find no way to do it. It looks very pretty, just don’t try to find what you’re interested in. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — New App is Terrible *2026-04-17, version 50.8.8* It’s slow and clunky. I used to use this app daily. I will try another news app instead. ### 1/5 — Your update made the weather app ridiculous. *2026-04-15, version 50.8.8* I can’t see the low on daily temperature graph. The big blob telling you the temp in the radar covers the whole twin cities . The rain gauge can’t close out so it also covers the radar????? Why is it there. Need to look elsewhere for my weather. :( ### 1/5 — Bring back the dark mode. *2026-04-07, version 50.8.3* One step forward, two steps back. ### 1/5 — Lost Landscape view on iPad *2026-04-02, version 50.8.2* Using the app on an iPad with a keyboard (in landscape) is suddenly awful, with the window refusing to take up the full width of the screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-20, version 50.21.3* Love a real time app ### 5/5 — Good news *2026-06-15, version 50.13.0* I like ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-10, version 50.12.0* Great connection ### 5/5 — I love Jana and linda *2026-05-26, version 50.10.7* And at night,,,WTCN Casey Jones,,,round house Rodney, skipper bob, , calancy the cop,,John Galatea,,,,,captain midnight,,,WTCN,,,Calhoun towers ### 5/5 — Better now! *2026-04-29, version 50.9.1* Great update! I felt the last app was more video based, while this new update gives me more articles to read than watch. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Please Fix ... *2026-03-29, version 50.7.5* New KARE 11 App is great BUT please fix: - App does not rotate horizontally - Cannot adjust Body Size of articles Thank You ### 5/5 — Local news, real news *2026-01-26, version 46.5.15* Excellent, accurate, respectful, responsible journalism in real time in real places. Thank you KARE11! ### 5/5 — Great app. But too many gross ads. *2026-01-25, version 46.5.15* Great news and weather source. Not fond of having to see some fairly gross ads. ### 5/5 — great app *2026-01-16, version 46.5.15* app is helpful for watching news ### 5/5 — Weathers *2026-01-06, version 46.5.15* Captions --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
