Ads During Active Tornado Sirens

Immediately uninstalled this app after it served me a THIRTY SECOND AD in the middle of active tornado sirens going off. Imagine there had been one on the ground, those 30 seconds could have killed somebody. Disgusting practice to put wealth and ad revenue over the safety of your viewers. Shameful

KMBC9 News

Obviously the best news source in the Metro. They are the varsity news for the KC Metro. All others are the JV.

The Worst News App

Who does KMBC source their app development to? This app is still a cluttered mess. Difficult to navigate what your looking for and confusing. It’s the worst of all the local TV news stations by far. Uninstalling.

Don’t want news just weather

There’s no way to limit notifications to just weather events. I don’t want my life interrupted by what someone else thinks is newsworthy (or, more accurately, wants to hype so they make ad money). Deleted the app.
