Used to be a good app

This app was fine for checking out our local news but they started allowing advertising inserted between every few articles. Now it’s become raunchy with titles such as “see this woman who wears see-thru shirts…” Really KRCR?! We’re looking for local news, not smut!

Fire Season

It is very important to have all the information we residents can get during the fire season. KRCR is a big part of letting us know the current status of these fires. Thank you

Our local Sinclair station

With an obvious attempt to be neutral during these divided times the local station does a good job. When the Sinclair national segments come on it’s very clear they’re trying to influence and not just inform.

I have an iPad

This app,does not support landscape view. Very frustrating as that is what my choice of viewing apps is. Seems like it would be an easy fix.
