### 2/5 — Loaded with Clickbait Ads

*2023-01-21*

KNOE should be ashamed of itself!  You click on one story then underneath it there are lowbrow clickbait ads, many which get redirected to other sites.  Poor reporting, many errors on actual stories so viewership has obviously declined and now their main source of income is ADS.  Don't waste your time here.

### 2/5 — Screen locks up

*2020-11-02*

Does not work very well. Screen locks up on occasion and back button quits working.

### 2/5 — Used to rely on this app!

*2020-06-18*

This was my go to app for keeping up to date on the spread of the COVID-19! It appears that news is being deemed of no value by KNOE. ALL LIVES MATTER, as the virus continues to destroy lives all over the country including here in Northeast Louisiana! It is for this reason I will be uninstalling the app and finding one that doesn’t give in to ‘popular’ politics!

### 2/5 — Very Liberal

*2019-07-05*

Full of Liberal propaganda
News is always one sided

### 1/5 — App

*2017-01-08, version 3.1.3*

App is acting up this morning. 
When you go to news a advertisement pops up and nothing to clear it off. Deleted the app and re installed and same thing.

### 1/5 — SPATTY

*2015-03-31, version 2.1.1*

Some days it works fine other days it won't open

### 1/5 — KNOE VIDEOS

*2015-03-25, version 2.1.1*

Terrible app.  Don't get it if you have I phone 4S the videos will not play. All my other news apps work just fine except for KNOE. 

Horrible app!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2015-02-27, version 2.01*

Just downloaded to see if it had been fixed, but it's still crashing. I have not upgraded my iPhone to version 8 due to all the complaints. Maybe that's it

### 1/5 — Fix it?

*2015-02-02, version 2.01*

App is to slow.

### 1/5 — Quit working

*2014-12-12*

I like to look at my news apps during the day to see what's happening in different areas of the state but the knoe app don't work anymore what's up with that. Ok I finally got the new app now they have the stream to be able to watch the news online but it don't work

### 1/5 — Knoe 8 news

This app used to work great but doesn't work at all anymore.

### 1/5 — No way to contact Knoe

*2014-12-08, version 1.3*

Not only does their app not work... There is absolutely no way to contact them on their website to inform them ...

### 1/5 — Really Bad

*2026-03-14*

Seems like everything is an ALERT….. when there’s a Necessary Alert no one will look or care

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-03-11*

Too many ads pop up and when you try to look at a news story random ads just start playing and alerts don't go away after you look at them

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-03-08*

Shows a constant alert you open it up nothing there…. You can’t get rid of it

### 1/5 — Bias

*2024-05-31*

Cut & paste biased reporting from national news outlets.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-03-29*

To many ads that will not work when you try to close them and make you click on them to open

### 1/5 — Poor design

*2023-12-28*

No way to make the type any larger. Us old people have feelings too.

### 1/5 — Used to be great, but…

*2023-06-27*

Clickbaity and pop up ads after every click, egregious journalism, and woke headlines and writers have destroyed our local news app.

### 1/5 — KNOE is Trash News!

*2020-11-09*

If I could give this zero stars I would! This is supposed to be local news but don’t report on news in the community. The only thing they report is poorly written one sided propaganda. They do not support local law enforcement and jump at any opportunity to showcase that. KNOE is nothing but trash news and a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Annoying ads

*2018-09-04*

Clicking on ‘Severe Weather Advisory’ brings you to an ad that you mist close before seeing the advisory - really??? When scrolling down thru news articles you mist check to see if it is news or just sending you to another site for nonsense - what’s up with that? Just give me the news without embedded outside links.

### 1/5 — News app

*2017-01-08, version 3.1.3*

Definitely something wrong. After opening, a advertisement for Quick Books apps pops up. No way to get rid of it. Cannot read the news either. When will it ever be fixed???

### 5/5 — Not working

*2019-09-28*

I have this app and has been great. But the last 5 days I'll tap on app and will not pull up. What's wrong? Really like this app so help me please.

### 5/5 — My Breaking News and Weather Authority!

*2019-04-07*

KNOE has always been my favorite station in Monroe. Always keeping me informed from breaking news, to severe weather and so much more. Thank you for all y’alls hard work, because it isn’t easy in this day and age!

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-06-23, version 1.1*

Great local news app

### 5/5 — New KNOE app

*2013-06-01, version 1.1*

I love the new KNOE app. I'm originally from Farmerville, La. I now live in Jasper, Al. This app let's me keep up with all the hometown news as well as national news.

### 3/5 — Too Distracting

*2026-03-07*

Reading a news article through the clutter of ads and pop up audio is almost not worth the effort.
The journalism itself is lacking at times in detail as to “who, what, when and where”, a long established standard for reporting.

Technically the site responds with little latency and does not stall (freeze).

### 3/5 — News Ticker errors

*2017-06-09*

The person responsible for the ticker on the bottom of the screen needs to read what they are typing. The story about Grambling State University getting the approval from the state board should be referenced as a feasibility study not a visibility study. There are so many errors I can't watch it anymore.

### 2/5 — Stop With the Sleazy Ads

*2025-08-21*

We are here for news and not fake news clickbait underneath every article.  Just STOP!

### 2/5 — News APP

*2025-02-12*

Too many annoying steps to open the news story. Pushing noisy useless APPs to suffer through.

### 2/5 — Abc321

*2024-07-02*

Your station home should be “Monroe/Ruston”.  This is especially true for the sports department.  If ULM got at least half the coverage as La Tech no doubt the publicity would help grow enthusiasm in the community and the students. After all, we have a hometown university and there are some amazing things going on out there.  Thanks for improving.

### 2/5 — Ok den

*2023-02-16*

The new weather app could quite possibly be the single worst app I have ever downloaded
