### 2/5 — Too many notifications

*2023-03-17, version 41.17.1*

I don’t need to know every 5 minutes there is a thunderstorm.  Deleted all notifications from this app. Way too chatty

### 2/5 — You are bad

*2020-10-29, version 4.35.470055341*

Your reporting is bias you need to be fair regardless of color or political reporting?? You definitely report only on one sided views

### 2/5 — Pretty good news service

*2020-10-13, version 4.35.470055341*

Content on your news is pretty good. Not much detail is included. There is a problem with your software for the Apple iPhones. Your weather radar does not display correctly on the Apple iPhones.  You have never been able to fix it. Displaying the news on an iphoneX causes the iPhone to lock up at times. Sure wish you could fix the problem.

### 3/5 — Alerts

*2020-09-09, version 4.35.470055341*

I started with all alerts other than weather set to off and was getting a lot of non weather news reports throughout the day, so I turned off all alerts and I am still getting a lot of non weather news reports throughout the day.

### 4/5 — Too many alerts

*2020-03-31, version 4.35.290052974*

I have both weather alerts and forecast alerts turned off. Yet the send me an alert at 6:54 in the morning to tell me it’s going to be sunny today. REALLY?! Wake me up to tell me it’s going to be sunny!!! They no longer have my trust.

### 4/5 — Poor weather radar

*2019-01-06, version 4.30.420039981*

Don’t know why, but all of a sudden after several years, I cannot get a good forecast, including radar, with info on upcoming fronts anymore.... This started a month or so ago.

### 2/5 — Not watching Ketk

*2018-05-05, version 4.28.190036286*

Need better news casters

### 5/5 — KETK APP

*2018-04-24, version 4.28.190036286*

I love my KETK app. They are on top on news stories immediately and post it immediately. Very helpful also with crashes on highways in our area so we can avoid them. I love it!

### 4/5 — Good App

*2018-01-08, version 4.27.840033381*

User friendly

### 5/5 — Not Fake News

*2017-11-12, version 4.24.210029978*

Facts are facts.  Hysteria is not fake either.  Let it go.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2017-07-19, version 4.24.210029978*

The coverage of the recent plane crash was very informative!

### 5/5 — Debbie Williamson

*2017-05-15, version 3.74.0*

Keeps me informed

### 2/5 — EPIC FAIL!

*2017-05-08, version 3.74.0*

This app use to be great. Now if you click on a notification it will open the app then Crashes. Also the ad pop ups have become insane. Ads cover news articles and when you click the x a different ad pops back up. 
     Too Much.

### 4/5 — Faye Lynn Ryan

*2017-02-27, version 3.72.0*

I enjoy getting current updates. Thank you

### 1/5 — Used to be a great app until today 11-25-20

*2020-11-26, version 4.35.470055341*

This was my favorite news app until today! I have deleted the app because I don’t appreciate sponsors video ads popping up while I’m scrolling through the headlines or reading a news story over and over.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2020-11-20, version 4.35.470055341*

So tired of getting news notifications that lock up when opening the app. 
KLTV app works fine. This is junk.

### 1/5 — Extremely annoying

*2020-04-24, version 4.35.290052974*

I’ve read the news on this app for years. Since the latest update, I don’t because it is too annoying to deal with the video automatically starting when you try to read an article. I plan to use other apps until this is fixed.

### 1/5 — No Live Feed

*2020-03-21, version 4.35.290052974*

I can never find the president speaking. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Cry wolf much?

*2020-03-10, version 4.35.220051868*

One of THE MOST ANNOYING apps I’ve EVER used for “breaking” news! EVERY new story is considered “breaking” and, therefore, you are BOMBARDED with alerts whenever a new article is published vs. something major you actually want to know about. Even adjusting the settings DOES NOT HELP because, again, EVERYTHING is “breaking” vs. “new.” ARGH!!

### 1/5 — Fake news ads

*2017-09-08, version 4.24.210029978*

For real news station, they've recently been showing a lot of fake news ads in the app. Some have even stated that celebrities that are clearly not dead, killed them self. Very morbid and disturbing. I expected more. Ads I get, but why peddle such garbage.

### 1/5 — Crap App.

*2016-11-16, version 3.6.0*

Can't open the app. AGAIN.  I'm deleting this junk.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2016-11-14, version 3.6.0*

When this app first came out, I downloaded it but it would not open on my iPad. Then the developer updated it and it finally worked. We'll, yesterday they updated it and laugh out loud and behold I now won't open again. I give up.

### 1/5 — You Can't be serious!

*2016-10-02, version 3.5.0*

Now that it FINALLY doesn't crash all the time, there are obnoxious pop-up ads.

Once the pop-up is cleared, one is then presented with "reporting" [wink, wink...] that is rife with spelling and grammatical errors that would embarrass a 4th grader.

Couple that with "tomorrow's" weather forecasts from 3-4 days ago and passé stories that are a week or two old.  What's not to love??

### 1/5 — Push Ads

*2016-08-23, version 3.5.0*

Beware of push ads taking over. Deleting.

Great stuff on here. Thanks

### 5/5 — K.E.T.K.’s Dedication To The Highest Standards Of News Reporting

*2020-05-07, version 4.35.290052974*

### 5/5 — Gggg

*2020-04-18, version 4.35.290052974*

Hhhhhh

### 5/5 — Reporter

*2019-12-06, version 4.34.260049936*

Sure enjoy the articles from Patrick Cunninham! Very insightful and well written! Hope to see him doing work on live tv. Seems like he would make a great reporter or on air personality.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-10-16, version 4.33.550046970*

Easy to navigate and always up to date. Still great story tellers at this station! Keep up the great work. (But then I’m a little bias, since I was a member of the team about 20 years ago.)🤗

### 5/5 — KETK

*2019-08-19, version 4.33.530045625*

I would love to be able to watch KETK but Directv needs to get things right to customers in east Texas can watch KETK😡

### 5/5 — Keri app

*2019-05-04, version 4.33.380044296*

I love my KETK app.   My Grandson Trent Bennett works for KETK and I can get KETK quickly through the App

### 5/5 — My Review

*2019-01-29, version 4.30.420039981*

KETK handles everything with grace! I appreciate the way its news team delivers the news & weather.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-04-26, version 4.28.190036286*

This is very good way to keep with breaking news in our area. I would recommend it highly.
