What I think about Legacy media

I hate that the legacy media is so biased. You suffer from Trump deranged syndrome. All you can do is spew hate.

Correction for semi and UHaul crash.

Colin was from Broomfield, not Croomfield.

Not good

Way too many grammar errors and not a very professional news organization. At one time was the best in COMO, no longer. KOMU is terrible but abc17 is worse.

A Fine Local News App

Improvement’s can be made, adding dark mode, a more clear settings menu etc. Other than those very small complaints (though they should be added ASAP) it’s a good app to know what’s going on. And addressing the sources complaint I see, from what I can tell, most of what they post/say is fairly accurate, especially with closings and weather alerts.

News

The news is newsing very well

Low quality news source

I’ve had the app for about a year and tried to give it a chance. Most of my news comes from national sources, but I want to have a local source to offer updates on smaller scale news.

Stories change infrequently on this app. We’re still seeing in late October the exact same stories about high profile murder that happened in mid-August, with no updates. Before that it was the exact same report of accusations against the city manager, without any new news for weeks.

Writing quality is quite poor, as well. Today I looked for an update on yesterday’s storms and saw an article about damage “across Missouri,” per the headline. Turns out it was a short mention of one location, an out-of-context paragraph describing leafless tree limbs and a structure in its side, and a statement that crews had no information to offer about the damage. I’m still wondering about the impact of yesterday’s storms across the state, or even in the region.

I’ll be getting my local news elsewhere and deleting this app.

Horrible

This used to be my favorite app for news & weather. I’m not sure what they’ve changed, but for the last little while it’s been terrible! Navigation needs help & now when trying to watch the weather videos, it’s fuzzy & doesn’t have audio half the time! This isn’t the case with KOMU’s app, so it’s not my connection.

Too many notifications

Nice news source but no way to limit the amount of notifications sent. I don’t need half a dozen updates on a breaking story especially when no new info is being added. Doesn’t allow mobile watching of news programs or weather. Weather is forecast only.
Wish they were more objective in reporting.

Liberal spin on national news

Coverage of national news is pathetic
BUT what can you expect if they only quote CNN
Local coverage is good- appreciate the daily mugshots of 20 years olds with multiple felony convictions.
What are they doing out on the streets? Now there would be an interesting news expose!

Can't go from Alert to app

Same issue. As other people. Fix this.

Can't go from alert to app

Every time I get an alert and click to go to app the article is up for 5-10 second and then app crashes. Turning off alerts until a better version is released. Still have texts which are a duplicate for the most part anyway.

Bluetooth prompt annoying

The app is good and informative but the annoying pop up about enabling Bluetooth so the app can access my accessories is totally annoying & invasive. Please get rid of it in a future update. I'd give the app 5 stars if not for that.

Crashes on every launch

Every time I click on an alert from this app it crashes as soon as I touch the screen to scroll. When I reopen the app, it works fine. The crashing is very annoying.

Too much

This current update is just too much info on the page. I don't know where to look, it's just information overload. I just want a simple but good news source. Stop trying to be so stylish.

Good App
