The app does not keep updated with latest news. Not the best way to get my news.
Can’t always navigate back to Home Screen or turn off the videos after watching them.
Prompts for settings that cannot be made, awkward interface. Try again.
App has way too much advertising I would suggest a different news app if you really want one
This new app is extremely poor in execution. The startup experience is particularly frustrating due to an intrusive ad that blocks access to the app itself. This should not have passed any level of quality or pre-production testing. The overall design reflects a lack of user-focused thinking and needs to be reconsidered.

I know they need to make money so I was ok with adds until they made it they an add pops up soon as you open the app that can’t be closed out. DELETE!!
You are now forced to stare at an advertisement while a box at the top right of the screen buffers for several seconds and then you have to click in the box in order to “Continue to the App”!! Not sure who approved this latest update but its very annoying. I no longer us this app and now get my news from the KOAA app..

These guys used to report news. Now they want me to sign a birthday card for Trump???? Sad
What a piece of garbage now. The format sucks. You couldn’t leave well enough alone
This new app is difficult to navigate- hard to see headlines. All around terrible. Please bring back the old simple app. Some old things to not need “fixing”. This new app needs work.
Not working right
It sucks and it's awful please change it back
Garbage
I'm going to delete the app, the new format is terrible.
Horrible app! They must be losing a lot of money, that’s the only reason I can think of why they have more commercials on the app than on tv. I do NOT recommend KKTV as they are unresponsive to their viewers.

Full of adds and no content. Critical news about things happening in our community is filled with ads and not related to the content of the article.
Not sure if it’s typos or just plain illiteracy, but many of the articles by KKTV are excruciating. Maybe it’s that they are in such a rush to grab the clicks, they just throw up any first rough draft without any care for proper writing.
The app itself works great when launching independently. However, when launching via news alert notifications, it always crashes.
Lots of out of town news and ads. Definitely Not a COS news channel anymore.
