Home news is out of date normally. Sports are slim and not up to date. Not much to see except as a reference to news ### 2/5 — Far Too Many Notifications *2026-03-25, version 8.0.2* This app is clickbait from hell. Every 5 minutes another BS notification. Trashed it. ### 4/5 — Better before update *2026-03-14, version 8.0.2* The app was better before the update. Don’t like it the way it is now. ### 3/5 — The news *2024-11-05, version 7.0.13* You need to update the app twice a day . Remove old news and stop leaving it up for days. If you want to improve your rating update the app more often . At this point channel 3 makes y’all look terrible ### 3/5 — More info *2024-08-08, version 7.0.12* Your News stories on violence sometimes give an address but don’t say what area of town it’s in. I have to search for where it is. Like near me? Is that near a road I travel often? Should I re route? Please advise! That would be very helpful! ### 4/5 — Reader of news thru app *2023-08-05, version 7.0.8* I love this app it was nice to have it when we traveled to the air base to visit every month for seven years.

Nothing in the settings to turn off sounds. Scroll movement is jittery. Liked it better the way it was with larger print. The commercials that come on are loud and are not welcome in certain environments. You cannot enlarge a picture or video like you could with the old app. ### 1/5 — App tracking *2026-03-10, version 8.0.1* App forces you to allow tracking and no place to select no or change in settings ### 1/5 — Hunt *2026-03-07, version 8.0.1* It wasn’t broke, don’t like it ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-03-07, version 8.0.1* Graphic design is too annoying for people with problems with dizziness.

Liked it better the way it was with larger print. ### 1/5 — Hate New App *2026-03-06, version 8.0.1* I hate this new app. It is just like channel 3 app and I avoided it like the plague. ### 1/5 — Not local *2025-02-13, version 7.0.14* There are over 10 stories in the main feed that are from other states or countries. It is not local news. It IS news with a few local stories. Please reflect the Ark-La-Tex news as local. ### 1/5 — Fear monger *2025-02-11, version 7.0.14* This left-wing news outlet is nothing more than fear-mongers who spread disinformation to their viewers. I for one will be deleting this app and NEVER watch KSLA again. You're lying to the American people about Trump and I'm sick of you disgusting fake news outlets. I hope destroys every news outlet like yours. ### 1/5 — lies *2024-07-15, version 7.0.12* this local news station app states it has breaking news notifications. it lies. it gives you constant notifications about their articles. this is supposed to be for breaking local news. ### 1/5 — Grammar *2024-05-08, version 7.0.12* The article states that someone is “holed” up. Does that mean that the person was in a hole? Please check grammar when posting articles. ### 1/5 — Stephen Shaver *2023-07-27, version 7.0.8* Come on man! These newscasters can’t even read! Waste of time ! Not interested in this station. Anymore!
