Also would like a weather widget for the Home Screen. ### 4/5 — Weather Updates *2026-05-24, version 5.15.2175* Can you please add the dew point and daily precipitation amount to the weather homescreen? Also would like a weather widget for the Home Screen. ### 4/5 — Weather Updates *2026-04-30, version 5.15.2125* Can you please add the dew point and daily precipitation amount to the weather? Also would like a weather widget for the Home Screen. ### 2/5 — You are a glorified weather app *2026-02-25, version 5.15.2031* I’m sick of the biased articals that I continue to read from you. Report news worth reporting on. Leave the politics out of it and stop reporting ONE side. ### 2/5 — Poorly put together *2025-11-30, version 5.15.1913* Would be nice if I could zoom in on this ap. Also when looking at the weather forecast someone needs to fix the precip percentages so that they are all viewable. Only half of the numbers show up on a mobile screen. ### 4/5 — Weather Updates *2025-08-25, version 5.15.1826* Can you please add the dew point and daily precipitation amount to the weather? Also would like a weather widget for the Home Screen. ### 3/5 — Needs to be more moderate *2025-04-12, version 5.15.1664* Too liberal and always looking for negative side. Needs to move to middle in politics. ### 3/5 — Interested observer *2025-02-24, version 5.15.1618* Weekend sports coverage is lacking when Andy Kendeigh is not there. He’s the best! Overall news & weather (with the exception of Emily Roehler) coverage is far better than the other TV stations. ### 3/5 — Fix it! *2024-08-23, version 5.15.1486* Every time I click on an article it cuts off mid video and takes me back to the home page which is very frustrating trying to find the story again. It does this 2-3xs before I’m able to watch a full video completely without it stopping ### 2/5 — Video and Feed no longer play *2024-07-31, version 5.15.1462* Latest iPhone update to 17.6 and KETV app videos no longer play on demand as well as live casts now buffer and will not tune in to broadcast. Can you please investigate? ### 3/5 — Freezing lately *2023-04-27, version 5.15.1082* It’s freezing once opened ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What’s the point 2.0 *2026-05-18, version 5.15.2125* You remove livestream from mobile websites, and provide and app where the livestream doesn’t work. 10/10, excellent execution. Still hot garbage. ### 1/5 — What’s the point *2025-10-06, version 5.15.1840* Why have an app for local news, if you’re going to keep opening everything on my default browser? Seems like a waste of space, uninstalling because of this. ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2025-08-09, version 5.15.1800* There’s an intense weather event happening and I can’t find anyway on your app to get CURRENT information. No current radar. No current reports. I can’t even watch what your currently broadcasting without FOUR ads then NOTHING but a blank screen and saying I can rewatch whatever it was some other way. This is honestly SO disappointing. You want to be a trusted local source to turn to but I only trust now that this is a complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — App does not work *2025-04-14, version 5.15.1664* Your website has spam attached to it; causing your app to not function past the first screen. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with active malware *2024-09-22, version 5.15.1498* This app won’t/ doesn’t work when malware is set to limit attacks. Makes you wonder why the other news apps do and this one won’t. 🤔🤔🤔 ### 1/5 — Articles and videos keep backing out *2024-07-28, version 5.15.1462* Every time I go to watch a news story or watch the weather now video it will back out of the story or video and sometimes completely drop app. I’ve looked up everything on my end as far as network quality and space and it all is good. This is the only app that does this. ### 1/5 — Ads ads big ads *2024-07-21, version 5.15.1456* This is redundant because several years ago I uninstalled this app and posted the reason was because of advertising. What’s the point of looking for news when you have to hurdle ads to get it. No thanks to your ads I can get news on the tv. ### 1/5 — 👎🏿 *2023-07-12, version 5.15.1157* I go to sites like this to get local news, but now finding half of the stories are national news items. ### 1/5 — App freezes *2023-05-15, version 5.15.1082* Keep freezing.. ### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads *2023-01-15, version 5.15.968* Great if you are wanting to watch ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Omaha’s Local News Station KETV Appreciation *2026-05-18, version 5.15.2125* Dear KETV, I really do appreciate this new channel for keeping Omaha and the local area updated with the latest news, it helps me understand what’s going on and what I might need to do if anything like road construction will affect my route to work in the mornings, I also appreciate having this app, it comes in handy when I’m not home and I want to watch the local news. Thank you very much KETV. ### 5/5 — KETV *2026-05-15, version 5.15.2125* Best place to get the latest news, weather and sports fast! App is easy to use and full of great info. ### 5/5 — Channel 7 news *2026-04-17, version 5.15.2125* Channel 7 news give me updates on everything that is going on including crime and whether which that’s what I look for. It is a awesome app. Keep up the good work guys. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-01-09, version 5.15.1942* I have been watching KETV for years. They’ve alway provided accurate weather forecasts. Excellent! ### 5/5 — Commercials *2025-11-30, version 5.15.1913* Commercial should only be 15 seconds 30 minute commercials are annoying ### 5/5 — It’s time for you to settle your differences and get back to broadcasting the shows people want *2025-11-08, version 5.15.1881* GET OFF YOUR HIGHHORSE AND START BROADCASTING LIKE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE ### 5/5 — The best station *2024-05-17, version 5.15.1421* They do such a great job of keeping updated on news and weather and many more things keep it I only have you on my phone thanks ### 5/5 — Great reliable news and app *2023-12-01, version 5.15.1267* This is my go to app for any of my news updates. Highly recommend, easy with notifications of new stories and accessible at my fingertips right on my Home Screen ### 5/5 — KETV *2023-09-26, version 5.15.1222* I luv this app....keep. Up the good work. My favorite TV news!!!! ### 5/5 — Too much! 3 articles about one story?? *2023-08-12, version 5.15.1184* Sometimes u guys show 3 or 4 articles of the same story! It’s monotonous and boring! Maybe 1 story and include everything that’s on the same story in one article! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
