The ads are a nuisance and the inability to zoom in on photos is no good. Not at all satisfactory for me. ### 3/5 — New update *2026-03-20, version 8.0.2* I like the old version. Easier to navigate. Can’t get rid of red mark notifications ### 1/5 — Advertisement at startup *2026-03-19, version 8.0.2* This advertisement that appears at the start of the app opening is terrible and such a pain to deal with when you just want to see the weather or local news. ### 1/5 — Baaaad! *2026-03-17, version 8.0.2* Deleted because update is terrible. Wish I could give it no stars. ### 2/5 — Video only *2026-03-17, version 8.0.2* Too crowded and small pics and print ### 2/5 — Wth *2026-03-12, version 8.0.2* Nice having some news with my ads guys! ### 1/5 — Bad New App *2026-03-11, version 8.0.2* The New App is absolutely horrid. In this day of constant change of every “updates” the concept of well enough has been executed. To be good isn’t enough, we must change just for change sake. Sad. Anyway, I will be deleting the new app. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-03-10, version 8.0.0* Last update is terrible. ### 1/5 — New App *2026-03-09, version 8.0.0* Terrible, cannot delete after reading alerts. Plan on deleting all together!! ### 2/5 — New layout *2026-03-09, version 8.0.0* The new layout is terrible. Hard to read and disorganized. Go back to the previous one. ### 1/5 — 2026 Update *2026-03-09, version 8.0.0* Not a fan of the new update. It shows an alert on the app so when you open the app to check the alert, the red alert on the app does NOT go away! What’s up with that??? ### 2/5 — New app needs improvement *2026-03-08, version 8.0.0* The new app shows that there is something new all the time with a red one. This needs to fixed ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-03-08, version 8.0.0* Don’t like having to see an advertisement when I open app to read the news. ### 1/5 — Why do people ruin everything good? *2026-03-07, version 8.0.0* Turned something good to garbage ### 1/5 — Updated app *2026-03-07, version 8.0.0* I don’t like the new pictures format and the lettering has been reduced in size…harder to read. I like to refresh after reading the stories I want and clearing those. ### 2/5 — Update is terrible *2026-03-06, version 8.0.0* This app is now horrible. Ads are out of control. Alerts will not clear. Might be time to just delete it ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied app user *2026-03-05, version 8.0.0* This new update sucks. ### 2/5 — Click bait *2025-10-21, version 7.0.15* It’s sad that a news app has to resort to dead end click bait articles. Somebody should review the associated articles and limit the dead-end, going nowhere articles. ### 1/5 — 90% ads 10% news *2025-08-18, version 7.0.15* Ads everywhere, it is difficult to find the actual content you clicked to see. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 🤢 *2026-08-19, version 8.0.8* The app is fine. It’s the news crew that makes me sick🤮🤮🤮 ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-07-23, version 8.0.7* Half the time it doesn’t work and the ads are annoying ### 1/5 — Joe *2026-07-11, version 8.0.6* Tom ### 1/5 — 6-7-2026 *2026-07-07, version 8.0.6* Not happy with new app because it doesn’t go straight to the news. You have to wait until an advertisement loads THEN after that you can go to the news. Very disappointing!!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-29, version 8.0.6* Ads hijack endlessly ### 1/5 — Worst live news app *2026-05-13, version 8.0.3* This is the worst live news app. No sound half the time. Besides having to wait on commercials when there is bad weather in the area ### 1/5 — Don’t like new app *2026-05-10, version 8.0.3* I want to choose if a video starts, I like being able to swipe back to the main page not going back up to touch the back button. ### 1/5 — Alarm!!! *2026-05-02, version 8.0.3* Why is the alarm being used for Non Emergency. Such as. Here comes the sun!!! Really. This causes us to not pay attention to it when it is a Real Emergency!!!! ### 1/5 — Latest update is horrible *2026-04-27, version 8.0.3* Very hard to navigate and so chock full of adds it’s hardly worth the effort. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-29, version 8.0.2* Terrible, randomly slows every time it’s opened, random audio ads, terrible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Murder *2024-12-02, version 7.0.14* Why don’t you investigate death on Bluegrass circl in flint just a few hours ago? No info! ### 5/5 — The Hollands - Erika and Blake *2024-03-13, version 7.0.12* Why aren’t Erika and Blake doing the news together anymore? ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2023-10-07, version 7.0.10* They keep informed without KLTV we would be in a blind place it’s a no brainer they keep us safe ! ### 5/5 — Best local news app *2021-10-07, version 6.7.4* An East Texas institution moves into the future with an app that delivers great local reporting. If you live in East Texas, the app is a must-have. ### 5/5 — Great Big Thank You *2020-04-06, version 6.6.1* Thank you for keeping us informed on breaking news! Ricky LaPrade Grand Saline Texas ### 5/5 — Kltv Staff and App *2020-03-09, version 6.6.0* I love watching KLTV news especially when Jennifer Kielman and Anissa Centers are on at 4:00pm.They are so good together.If I am having a bad day, I just wait to see what those two are going to report.They are serious reporters,but their sense of humor just knocks me over laughing at some of the the things they say,that comes into the station.Michael Coleman great sports cast.Mark,Katy,Makayla,and Cody,love their weather section.Very seldom do they miss the forecast.But it’s Texas wait 5 minutes. It will change.Jamie Boyum and Bob Hallmark and the rest of the crew,Keep up the good work.
