The wind here is so much worse than Tucson is ever! And yet you show it as being a breeze. Check your sources please!!! ### 5/5 — Kgun9 on my side *2019-05-12, version 6.21* Darn good app ### 2/5 — Not that good anymore *2019-03-18, version 6.18* For years I watched KGUN, personnel losses and not so good replacements have turned me off. Add in the number of commercials and the Liberal Political position makes it over the edge. A lot of coverage of the Muslim’s killed in NZ, not a mention of the Christians killed in the Phillipines ### 5/5 — Review *2019-02-28, version 6.18* I am happy to have found this app on my tablet because living in Bisbee, local news is not as readily available. Now I can see what is happening faster. Thank you ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-01-11, version 6.18* It crashes when you open it ### 4/5 — By Scripps see also Stitcher app *2018-11-14, version 6.18* I prefer their social media feeds for commenting. ### 3/5 — Correct designation *2018-08-16, version 6.18* Please tell your sports readers that in baseball when a batter is hit it is simply called ‘hit by pitch’. On the other hand when a batter is hit in the head it is called being ‘beaned’. On tonite broadcast the male reporter said the Atlanta Braves batter who was hit by pitch in the left arm was “beaned”. He was not...he was hit by a pitch. There is a world of difference. ### 2/5 — Lousy commercials *2018-08-04, version 6.18* I guess the positive is u get to see the local news but the crappy thing is that u have to put up w a ridiculous Amt of commercials. I absolutely hate all of the “sponsored content “. Ridiculously stupid developers think people actually click on those ? I avoid those at all costs, and would never click those, (even if they appealed to me) out of sheer contempt for them. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2025-01-14, version 7.8* The app I understand needs to find a way to be funded, but with the amount of adds they place , it removes the ability to enjoy the time spent within it. ### 1/5 — Rare updates *2024-01-18, version 7.3* As I’m writing this it is just after noting that while it is Thursday articles are all from Monday…as is the daily forecast. Basically a useless news app. ### 1/5 — Used to love app now it’s ceap *2023-07-18, version 7.0* Used to like your app and weather especially. But now radar takes forever to load it’s confusing and too many ads. Definitely liked old version better. Upset I had to update app because now it constantly freezes especially checking weather. And ads in background makes it hard to read stories they interfere or won’t load. Sorry your improvement makes me want to uninstall because you made it more cluttered and not appealing instead of improving app ### 1/5 — Get RID OF THE VOLUME OFF DEFAULT SETTING!! *2023-05-27, version 6.43* GET RID OF THAT STUPID VIDEO “VOLUME OFF” DEFAULT!! I choose videos because I WANT TO LISTEN while doing chores, etc - and the STUPID BUTTON IS SO SMALL I CANNOT GET IT TO CHANGE TO “ON”!!!!! FYI I try a few times, then give up in disgust, and go watch AND LISTEN TO Channel 13 instead!!! MASSIVE FAIL, dudes!!! ### 1/5 — Repetitive political commercials *2022-09-20, version 6.43* App works great great. I travel and take my Apple TV device with me which has my kgun app on it so I can keep in touch with Tucson news. But I can’t watch it! It goes to commercial break and it will be the same negative political ad that is local to the state I’m visiting over and over and over. It is beyond frustrating. It’s like you’re trying to make us delete the app and move on. Just don’t understand why. ### 1/5 — Every video has a commercial? *2022-06-26, version 6.43* Every video you watch on the app has a commercial before you get to see the story. How about showing one commercial every-time you open the app instead of every story click ? ### 1/5 — The end of ad free subscription *2021-12-15, version 6.43* And this marks the end of my using this app. No interest in screening advertising to read local news. ### 1/5 — Ultra right lies in an ad represented by KGUN 9 *2020-11-22, version 6.33* False bias political statements in an ad do not belong on a news app. I was stunned to see a large ad stating “The left politics want illegals to draw from Social Security...” I promptly removed the app. I didn’t know KGUN 9 would allow such a false statement, a political bias ad that is allowed to represent KGUN 9; it is a symptom of the systemic infection from the ultra right. Shameful. ### 1/5 — Terrible design *2020-07-24, version 6.30* The UI is terrible. Something I’d expect in the mid-2010s. Watching any videos/media associated with a story, sound, doubled stories (why not just update the original?), and searching for relevant stories. It’s not intuitive in the slightest. You open the app and get just a random list of stories. Unorganized, no top stories or design changes. ### 1/5 — Little News mostly ADs *2019-11-14, version 6.24* This App is a commercial haven if you like commercials than this is a 4 star app. It starts with no less than 4 commercials then you get 2 stories then 4 commercials a true waste of the viewers time...UNLESS you enjoy ADs terrible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fairly reliable *2022-11-30, version 6.43* This app works almost all the time. It is my go-to for Tucson news. ### 5/5 — Great app that works great *2021-11-09, version 6.41* I used to watch the KVOA weather app. It never worked anytime I wanted to watch the news. I would have to watch on tv. Then someone recommended to me this app. It works so well! I love it! ### 5/5 — Factual *2020-11-08, version 6.32* Right on point with facts & predictions such as weather. A must have for Tucson residents!!!! ### 5/5 — Good Morning *2020-08-29, version 6.32* KGUN begins my day. Before climbing out of bed in the AM I scan the news. It’s usually pretty balanced. I had a couple of other news apps and deleted them. ### 5/5 — Great Local News *2020-08-29, version 6.32* Always check my news here. Never disappointed! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2020-04-06, version 6.30* Hot dang! ### 5/5 — Clear and concise relevant news *2020-03-16, version 6.30* I don’t have to wade through a bunch of irrelevant fluff to get to the interesting stuff. No one proofreads anymore though. I wish I could get paid for every typo I find. I think everyone expects their computer to catch the errors. Old fashioned proofreading is still a good thing. This is still a good place to go to keep up with worthy news. ### 5/5 — KGUN 9 *2020-03-15, version 6.30* Love this news station! Love it, love it, love it! Thank you KGUN 9 on your side! ❤️👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Simple Local News *2019-12-28, version 6.24* This app is a simple conduit for catching up on both national and local news and weather by either reading it or with short videos. ### 5/5 — News and weather. *2019-11-25, version 6.24* What more can you ask for? Quick, easy to read. It’s great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
