Myra is a Great News Anchor. Courtney is a Great News Reporter. RJ is a Great Anchor. Darcek and Erica do a fantastic job of covering the news reporting. ### 3/5 — Updates *2026-06-16, version 3000014* I find it hard to look at the app know because it’s not updated enough. Some articles are several weeks old. ### 4/5 — Review 6/15/26 *2026-06-15, version 3000014* Weather is a 5+. News content contains way too many repeated stories. Too many “if bleeds it leads” and not enough surrounding northern counties’ stories. ### 4/5 — No sound *2026-05-25, version 3000013* No sound ### 2/5 — News *2026-05-21, version 3000013* News is too stale! Same articles run 2-3 days in a row and no updates on weekends ### 3/5 — Free livestream, but there is 8 ads *2026-02-13, version 3000012* I love to watch local San Antonio News livestream, it was completely free and no subscriptions, no in-app perchases needed. Later, it has 8 ads, so annoying ### 3/5 — Where’s the news live? *2025-12-09, version 3000011* Why isn’t the news streaming live? ### 1/5 — Does anyone work on the weekends? *2025-10-27, version 3000011* 3 people in this room agree that the temps and weather are way off every weekend. ### 1/5 — Listen to viewers while you still have them. *2025-10-13, version 3000011* I don’t really watch local news anymore because they have adopted the Bar Rescue model where it’s 10 minutes of ads for every 5 minutes of video. I was drawn to KSAT today because I wanted to watch the story about the teen that was shot at McDonalds a few years back which KSAT advertises LIVE feed will be available within the article and on KSAT Plus - there’s literally no live feed. Why don’t we remove that or be more specific - live feed will be able around XYZ time when hearing is set to begin - seriously not that hard. Accuracy is what sets the best news stations apart from the rest. If you’re not reputable you’ve already lost. The city needs to release an app that allows us to view these things without having to fill the wallets of the corporations that own the media companies around here. Update: a feed was never provided, but I found one on my own. The proceedings happened relatively quickly since they were requesting the hearing be pushed back and KSAT never provided a feed. ### 2/5 — Data storage *2025-10-13, version 3000011* Had to delete the app due to it storing over 20gb of data on my phone…. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-09-30, version 3000011* Too many ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads make the app unusable. Stories are often biased and purposely misleading *2026-08-27, version 3000014* Biased and purposely misleading their readers ### 1/5 — Death by Ads *2026-08-27, version 3000014* What is going on with this dang Ulta pop up? I have to restart the app every time I start to read an article. ### 1/5 — Full screen ads ruin app *2026-08-26, version 3000014* Every click into an article generates bizarre full screen ads with no way to close them. Unusable. ### 1/5 — Can’t even use app *2026-08-25, version 3000014* Ads take the entire screen on every article. Download kabb or kens5 instead ### 1/5 — Advertisement *2026-04-12, version 3000012* Get rid of the advertising that pops up when the app is opened! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-04-11, version 3000012* The KSAT “news” app is a waste of time. They throw one or two timely stories on it, but most are a week or more older. And you won’t know whether a story is local, state, national or even international until you click through and read it. ### 1/5 — Not news mostly current events *2026-04-03, version 3000012* KSAT rarely covers all the news but uses most of their air time for current events ### 1/5 — malicious software *2026-01-24, version 3000012* Nothing but adds and the damn app auto plays videos when it asked me if it could and it does it anyway after saying now. It even auto plays when my phone screen on. This is malicious software ### 1/5 — Temu/ads *2026-01-17, version 3000011* Don’t like the Temu inappropriate ads! ### 1/5 — terrible accessibility features for visually impaired *2025-11-10, version 3000011* I am using VoiceOver on an iPhone, and I find it impossible to click on any of your live streams and receive the accurate one. For example, I tried to click on the video to view the Melissa Perez jury trial verdict, and it started playing the news at noon. This app needs way better Aria labels ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — KSAT is the Brst *2026-06-19, version 3000014* Watch all the time through streaming and push alerts as well as start my mornings at 5 am every day!! ### 5/5 — KSAT *2026-05-25, version 3000013* Love this tv station forever. It has been my favorite ever since I was young. I don’t watch any other tv shows or stations. KSAT it’s the best ♥️🙏 good job guys keep it up and going .

And BB her husband Luis ### 5/5 — We ONLY Watch KSAT! *2025-11-17, version 3000011* It’s a sad story that came to this. After our son was shot and killed I found a dozen or more stories sadly wrong on the facts and only one had everything straight: KSAT 12. ### 5/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-21, version 3000011* Catering to Kirk --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
