It works fine if you watch on an iPhone or an iPad. Please fix this problem with the app, it’s useless to use if you want to cast to a TV or a streaming device. ### 4/5 — KRON4 *2023-01-13, version 2.3* Work,s well on My Apple se, Thanks ### 4/5 — Good app - annoying repetitive ads *2023-01-13, version 2.3* I love being able to cast the live video feed to my Chromecast on my secondary TV. And the app plays well on Apple TV. Only annoying part is the ads are repetitive, always the same. And sometimes no ads play at all during commercial breaks. Just silence and a message on screen that they will be back with a countdown clock. ### 3/5 — Wish it didn’t start with an ad *2022-12-03, version 2.3* I do get tired of the same ad coming over and over ### 4/5 — Love Kron4News! *2022-09-05, version 2.1* This app saved the day when I could no monger get my favorite local Bay Area news on cable. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-08-11, version 2.1* KRON News App is the Best ### 5/5 — Best News *2022-07-28, version 2.0* I Love KRON 4 This Is The Best App Ever ### 4/5 — Don’t know Yet *2022-06-17, version 1.9.1* I Just opened The App And I Have Not Got To Check It Out Yet, But That’s What I Am Doing Right Now, I Am About To Set It up., But From What I See Right Now It Look’s Like Something I Would Like To Have To watch And Listen To The New’s….. ### 5/5 — Get the app *2022-05-26, version 1.9* Great local news and up-to-the-minute traffic and weather. ### 5/5 — This is the best *2022-05-21, version 1.9* Nice ### 5/5 — Best News App in the Bay *2022-05-12, version 1.9* Love it. ### 5/5 — I really love this Kron App. *2022-04-08, version 1.9* Specially morning Crew ### 2/5 — Tacky Ask *2022-04-04, version 1.9* It’s kind of tacky to insert a review dialog that you can’t opt out of. ### 3/5 — Local news *2022-03-29, version 1.9* Enjoy weather report and traffic updates and local political news. Though I wonder how deeply some stories are researched ### 5/5 — News updates *2022-03-24, version 1.9* 👍right on ### 2/5 — Spotty *2022-02-26, version 1.9* It’s a great app when it works right. The app on my Apple TV seems to have lots of issues. And only works properly about half the time. But it’s great when it works so I keep trying. When it’s not working I switch over and watch the CBS app, it always works right. ### 5/5 — news togo *2022-02-24, version 1.9* news on the go, just what i needed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying startup process *2023-02-25, version 2.3* Stop asking me if I love the app every time I open it. I just want to watch the news. Super frustrating. Click, open, news. ### 1/5 — Horrible bug *2022-07-15, version 2.0* When it comes to news, I watch it live everyday. But lately, KRON4 app has been terrible primary oh their AppleTV capability… I always use appleTV to steam news onto my TV. Abc, fox, cbs5 and kron… all of it, KRON4 is the only app with a very buggy streaming plugin. It always show a commercial right before streaming actually happen, then it will cause an error. It was working fine for like few years…. Until recently, it won’t stream properly anymore. You will probably be fine if you want to watch on your tiny iPhone/iPad screen… BUT Streaming news onto TV is the current trend, who want to pay for the stupid cable and watch the low definitely or even off air. To Kron4/KronOn - if you are reading this, please fix your streaming plugin- it no longer works for older devices….!!! I am using ATV2 and some older iPads…. Tested few different iPads, none work probably anymore. ### 1/5 — Disappointed or user failures *2022-06-07, version 1.9.1* Nothings special with this app. SHOULDN’T NEWS be on auto run? News should roll on continually, but instead I have to click every time I want the next story. ### 1/5 — Unfettered ads. Delete *2021-09-28, version 1.8* First launch and the app immediately started playing an unmuted ad. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Casting bug *2021-05-16, version 1.8* This App has a serious problem casting to Chromecast. App drops out & starts playing audio on the phone while still casting... Audio is not in sync, so annoying. Because of all the restarts, you end up watching more commercials than news… ### 1/5 — Today Nexstar app does not recognize my email address. *2020-09-27, version 1.4* Links for support go to the news website ### 1/5 — You kidding me? *2020-08-24, version 1.2* Why in the world would you make us pay for a news app???? To many commercials, nothing is up to date, and quite frankly it’s not worth it when the pot of news online is sooooo large THANKS BUT NO THANKS. ### 1/5 — Traffic *2020-06-21, version 1.2* I would like to have access to live traffic cameras ### 1/5 — Not full screen on iphone10 xs *2020-03-20, version 1.2* Not full screen iphone10 xs ### 1/5 — I already have a Xfinity account with the station so why would I have to pay more!? *2019-11-10, version 1.2* I already have a Xfinity account with this station,that I already pay plenty for so why are you asking for more money??!!!this is the best news and I can’t believe that this app is ripping off consumers!!!if you already have a cable subscription with KRON 4 this app should be free!thats how all the other apps work!if5 stars if you fix this!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — KRON NEWS *2023-06-29* Every morning I wake up and grope for the tv remote and wake up to the morning news.

One can dream, but seeing the events of the day play out on KRON sure makes things tingle with interest and caring. I did leave a lot of things in the Bay but with KRON, I am keeping them in view.
