Would love to be able to do that in a future update. ### 3/5 — Crashes when selecting weather *2024-02-26, version 500.1.1* Good app for news but closes when you select the weather tab. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but did not work. ### 2/5 — Latest update ruined it *2024-02-13, version 500.1.1* Why are you requiring that I do notifications. I’ll get my news elsewhere. I deleted the app. ### 2/5 — Terrible *2020-11-12, version 40.35.570056956* Seldom works Default setting is mute and sometimes the icon to unmute doesn’t display. It works better earlier in the day, than for evening news. I like the station, though. ### 4/5 — Good newscasts! *2020-10-08, version 40.35.570056956* I like watching KSN news because it’s refreshing and gives the common “joe” (like me) the facts, good simple to understand FACTS! Not watered down. Keep it up. Kenn Woodard ### 2/5 — Crashing *2020-07-29, version 40.35.470055367* This app has been crashing after being on it for a short time. Started happening after the last update ### 1/5 — Full of ads *2017-10-18, version 14.24.21* This app used to be a descent app. Now it is full of ads. You can barely go from one story to another. ### 1/5 — Stutzman's 's ad *2016-04-18, version 5.15* Just deleted this app. Got tired of the Stutzman's ad popping up all the time. ### 2/5 — Auto play ads downgrade the whole app *2015-12-31, version 5.13* The news and weather are ok, but when I have click to turn off a full screen ad, before I can view them, or when an ad starts playing sound automatically , it downgrades the whole experience . ### 2/5 — Scroll *2015-11-02, version 5.10* Are you gonna fix the scrolling bug? Impossible to read. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t Use in Life Threatening Storm! *2024-05-06, version 500.3.0* So downloaded this app due to life threatening weather in southern Kansas. And the live feed is two hours old, and the watch now live is also two hours and ten minutes old repeating feed? Did everyone n the news station run for bunkers? Don’t use this app if your life depends on live weather and tornado warnings! ### 1/5 — Alerts screen *2024-02-14, version 500.1.1* Been using this app for years but suddenly I can’t get past the “alerts” screen. ### 1/5 — Can’t get past preferences… *2024-02-14, version 500.1.1* I liked this app for news updates, until a few days ago. Suddenly when I try to view a story I’m notified of, I have to re-enter my notification preferences. I can get past the first page, but then it asks about weather and my location, and no matter what I do it won’t let me past that screen. It’s been this way for several days. Deleted and re-installed, but same thing. At this point I’m just deleting the app since it is now useless. I guess I’ll be seeing what the other local stations have to offer. What a screwup. ### 1/5 — Lousy app *2023-09-05, version 41.20.0* This app is NOT user friendly. It will not let you back out of video without closing out. It also does NOT let you watch the news in real time. It’s always the news cast prior to. Other apps lets you want current news as it airs. Disappointed! ### 1/5 — No mornings *2023-07-21, version 41.20.0* Can not watch the morning news it always play the night news and it’s small snippets of that. Very upset what to do ### 1/5 — News - Not Ads *2021-03-12, version 40.35.570056956* When I click to open your app, the first thing I am greeted with is not news, but an ad. Bad. I want to be informed, not solicited. I am removing your app. ### 1/5 — Review *2020-09-03, version 40.35.470055367* This app keeps freezing up on my phone. Have to sing out in order to unfreeze my phone ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2020-08-11, version 40.35.470055367* Constantly crashes! Fix your site ### 1/5 — Click bait *2020-05-21, version 40.35.340053671* Click bait ### 1/5 — Aweful *2018-08-28, version 40.30.430040264* I get notified of a story and when I swipe to view it the app just stall out. Ever since I got the app it has been glitchy AF. Lame ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love all of the reporters! *2019-11-22, version 40.34.260049987* They are like our friends reporting to us daily! ### 5/5 — Pest *2019-10-10, version 40.33.550047022* Great source Of information and good looking weather girls ### 5/5 — Great Team *2019-09-30, version 40.33.550047022* The entire KSN team does a fantastic job of keeping us up to date on the latest news and weather.

I’ll get you some more time in my life and then get you to get the truck and then pick up the stuff and it is a wonderful time to be done with it thanks ### 5/5 — Retail *2018-10-12, version 40.30.430040264* Excellent news reporting. ### 5/5 — Central Kansas *2018-05-22, version 40.28.190036494* I like the news alerts. We don’t have actual Cable TV, so this is where I go to get my weather and news. 👍 ### 5/5 — Use it every day! *2018-05-02, version 40.28.190036494* Clean, easy to use, up to date with local news and weather! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-09-09, version 14.24.21* I've always been partial to channel 3, idk maybe it's from my parents watching it when I was young. I use this app everyday to look at the news and weather. In conclusion I use the app everyday and it's very user friendly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
