### 3/5 — Something’s wrong

*2026-04-28*

Since the last update the app won’t scroll or do anything. Normally the annoying ad pops up first and u have to x it out but now when you open it it just stays with the screen dark and won’t let you scroll or tap anything

### 2/5 — Videos are never the most recent

*2025-02-11*

I would figure the app is supposed to help keep people up to date on the most recent updates, but when I look for the most recent forecast videos, I always end up with forecasts from the morning or the day before. This is not helpful if it’s tornado season and we are attempting to keep up with live feed and the video is from 8 hours ago. The most recent videos should be uploaded immediately. Also, seems like a very politically biased news channel lately. Leaning left. I only use this app and watch this channel anymore for the weather…. If it’s even available.

### 2/5 — No live footage

*2023-05-14*

This past two weeks we have had horrible weather with tornado activity. I used to be able to go into this app and go to video on the lower right of the app, where if something was live or mike Morgan was on tv, I could simply open this app and would see a red dot by the video icon, which would tell you he’s on live, while on the go.  That has not been the case lately. Whatever has changed is not working.

### 1/5 — Kfor app

*2023-02-26, version 41.17.1*

What happened to the live broadcast? I no longer have cable or satellite so I would always watch your live stream. I guess I’ll have to watch another channel.

### 4/5 — Great app but now no live broadcast

*2023-01-25*

This was my “go to” news & weather app for many yrs. Recently they no longer have live shows - only recorded segments.  It was really great to tune in to our hometown news/weather when we are traveling. 🙁 very sorry to see this feature taken down. Still a reliable source.

### 3/5 — Greatest

*2023-01-04, version 41.16.0*

Good job

### 1/5 — Can’t read due to click bait

*2022-05-03*

Constantly click baiting even though not touching screen. Pops you to online fake info stealing sites & completely takes you out of app! Getting worse with each update. Do yourself a favor & download News 9 instead. No accidental click bait or scam stories! Weather better there too.

### 1/5 — Browser Hijacker

*2022-04-12, version 41.9.0*

Constantly hijacks your browser to display pop up advertisements. I would recommend staying away from this app as I have now also deleted it!

### 3/5 — I have a suggestion.

*2022-04-11*

Please fix the app refreshing automatically whenever you exit a news story. It’s frustrating to have to load and scroll for several minutes to find buried articles and then having to scroll back down to my place after I exit the article. Would be nice if the app would save your place so you can continue looking through older/buried stories.

### 1/5 — To many pop ups

*2022-03-22, version 41.9.0*

Used to enjoy, but now every story opens advertisement pop ups in new window. Ugh

### 1/5 — “Continue Reading” button is driving me crazy!

*2021-12-05*

This app used to be wonderful. New stories were added to the top.  I could stroll through the news until I’d get to the ones I’d read the day before. I hadn’t updated my apps for a long time and when I did the format was entirely different. Please go back to the old format. Or is there a way I can go back to the old version that I had?

### 2/5 — Apps quit working

*2021-10-27*

This used to be my go to news and weather.  My cable gives mostly Texas weather not much for our area.  
I had both apps on my iPhone XR and iPad PRO, don’t work. 
Both KFOR and 4 Warn apps freeze up. No pictures or articles show up when opened. After the updates all this happened. It’s weird that KFOR works on my husbands iPhone 12 Pro fine.

### 1/5 — Adds

*2021-09-07, version 41.4.0*

Adds cover the content, unable to read more than 2 lines at a time.  deleted.

### 1/5 — Full of ads!

*2021-08-24, version 41.4.0*

Have to get thru the ads leaves only two inches to read text.  Waste of time to get actual info from. Pop ups before you can even see anything else.  Just another way for the Corp to make $$$

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2021-05-27, version 41.1.0*

THE MUST BE RATING THEMSELVES 
Weather radar takes too long to load if at all (tried 3 devices ) 
TOO MANY ADS IN THE WAY.
Frustrating to use
 CANT COUNT ON YA 4 =(
 Can not read your stories without freezing up, waste  of app space, you used to be the best but your AD GREED has caught up, your not here to help, your here to sell me stuff .
If you need WEATHER INFO USE WEATHER CHANNEL APP, IT LOADS & no AD GAMES

### 4/5 — You’re   “One” again

*2021-05-02, version 41.1.0*

Should that be **once**again?

### 1/5 — New Update is Horrible!

*2021-04-01, version 41.0.3*

I used to use this app multiple times per day to read the news. Now I can hardly navigate it. Also, it freezes horribly and makes my phone run much slower when I have it open. I guess I’m going to have to find a new news app.

### 1/5 — No, no and no. From fantastic to completely horrible

*2021-03-22*

I can’t even find the words to explain how sad I am about your most recent update. Yours was the only one of Oklahoma’s three major news outlets’ app that was worth anything. I could scroll and read until I was blue in the face and the news stories never stopped. And other than the ridiculous ‘continue reading’ button that broke more often than not, everything worked as it should. I never had to click a menu button over and over to see everything. 

And now this. It’s just like the others, maybe worse. Only a very limited number of articles. Gotta go to the menu for every little thing. And OMG it’s  on-stop stuck. It’s like it has zero bandwidth and freezes every few seconds as it refreshes or something. Can’t even read an entire article without the ‘hold please’ frozen hiccups. IT’S HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE.

### 2/5 — Freezes every couple of days

*2021-03-12, version 6.10.3*

I like the content on this app, but it freezes every couple of days. So I have to delete and reinstall for it to work a few days more. “Tried reaching out to them at the station.... never heard back” familiar line.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-23, version 508.0.0*

They give you like 5 minutes of free time to watch the live feed and then run 3-4 minutes of ads.   Leaving you with 1-2 minutes to get the live weather information.  Trash

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2026-03-12*

I used to love this app, but whatever they did to the radar that separated everything out made this app terrible. The daily and hourly forecasts aren’t even close anymore either. They also don’t update timely. My mom and I both had this app. We both set it to the same place and had two different forecasts. The live video also stopped working.

### 1/5 — Weird interface

*2026-01-20, version 503.0.1*

Would love a local news app, but this is just too jumbled and overstimulating to use. It’s a headache.

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2025-05-19, version 500.8.0*

Shame on you for putting this trash on the App Store. Full of pop ups that disable all functionality. Completely useless. Uninstall this garbage.

### 1/5 — FIX THE NOTIFICATIONS

*2025-04-28, version 500.8.0*

FIX THE NOTIFICATIONS. STOP SENDING STUFF I AM NOT SIGNED UP FOR

### 1/5 — Phishing malware ads in the app.

*2025-01-03, version 500.7.0*

Trying to look at news stories and keep get false ads claiming my phone OS is infected. It’s a phishing site ad that will try to gf get you to install malware under the guise of virus removal tools.

### 1/5 — Commercial after commercial

*2024-11-28*

I downloaded the app and deleted it within 2 minutes. Being new to the area, I just wanted to check the weather for the evening. Every time I tried to navigate to what I was looking for, another commercial/add would pop up. How annoying. I guess I will just have to stick with their competitors app.

### 1/5 — Each version more unwieldy than the last

*2024-08-09, version 500.4.0*

It’s difficult to accept as legitimate the 4.6 rating of this app. Once upon a time, this app was actually useful and the experience was a tolerable mix of content and garbage.
I understand there must always be ads with free apps like this. However, while tech evolved and phones became more powerful, this app mutated, devolved and deteriorated into a disgraceful and excremental chumbox captive portal. Who knows what sort of sinister code exists underneath the ugly and clunky UI?
I am too enraged to calculate the percentage of legitimate content that’s ultimately being delivered to the user, but I’d bet it’s not even 67% like we’d get on a typical TV timeslot. 
This app doesn’t deserve a single star.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2023-05-22, version 41.20.0*

Can close once you open.  Send notifications and then the story isn’t there

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-05-12, version 41.20.0*

Take down the ads.

### 5/5 — NXST

*2024-12-11, version 500.6.0*

An investment I made and the resources I use to justify it.

### 5/5 — Love KFOR like we do?

*2019-10-26, version 6.5.1*

If you love KFOR TV news like we do you will love the app! It’s handy and easy to use!

### 5/5 — Love the KFOR App

*2019-06-15, version 6.4.1*

We no longer live in OKC, but we have Family in Stillwater and Friends in Edmond and like to keep in touch with the OK news.

### 5/5 — K4 app

*2019-05-08*

This app is a must have! Especially when we have bad weather you need the 4warn!  We used it last night so we could rest and listen for our phones it’s that reliable!
I also love getting the news before it ever hits the actual air on television! Thanks to all of you that work there! I absolutely love everyone of you and keep you in our prayers!

### 5/5 — Review

*2019-04-21*

Please update the OKC sky line photo on the opening page of your news . Devon Tower and other areas to highlight 
Great up to date news 
Tv9 very poor and Not up to date

### 5/5 — The Best & Most Reliable App for Local News

*2018-10-07*

And I love that they don’t send a push alert out unless a) it’s confirmed and b) the story is ready to read on their website. Looking at you News 9 & KOCO 👀

### 5/5 — News

We moved from Oklahoma but I
Depend on News four to keep us informed about what is going on back home

### 5/5 — KFOR4LIFE

*2018-08-03, version 5.16*

My Mom and Dad watched KFOR before I came along, so I have been watching KFOR my whole life and now I watch it with my Twins. “Is this a great news cast or what”?

### 5/5 — Review
