It only plays the news a 10th of the time and when it does come on, it starts at the weather. This doesn’t even work well on the website. The only time it was perfect was this last summer when you left it on live for 2 days accidently because of tornado warnings. What good is this if you can’t watch live. Please fix it. Started working good but you did something while reporting storms 2 days ago & does not work again. ### 2/5 — App doesn’t work live *2025-01-07* Please fix your app so I can watch the news and weather.

Please fix it. ### 3/5 — New format *2021-04-03* Don’t care for the new format. Too busy. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2021-02-26* I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app on my device, making sure it’s always up to date and even force it close and reopen to refresh the app. Even with all of this I continue to have constant issues with the screen freezing within all areas of the app while trying to scroll to see the complete information/details. I do not have this same experience in our other local news coverage app and unfortunately have had to rely on them since I keep having issues with this one. ### 2/5 — Wish it worked better. *2021-02-03* Frequently freezes. Have to force close and restart to be able to use again. ### 3/5 — Love it, but it crashes *2020-11-28* I really like this app and its features but I crashes almost every time I open it! It’s REALLY frustrating. The KSNT weather app does the SAME THING. I’ve tried troubleshooting, with no avail. I just want it to work. This app would get five stars if a) they fix the crashing b) more accessible live stream and previous streams c) IT NEEDS CAPTIONS ### 3/5 — App continually freezes up *2020-09-04* I love KSNT news & this app, with the huge exception that it freezes up when I try to read the breaking news. It’s so frustrating. I thought it was my older phone, but with my iPhone 11 Pro Max, the articles freeze up, too & it happens on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times in a day. I swipe & remove the old pages daily, but it still freezes. I wish they would get it fixed, but if not soon, I’m ready to change to a different app. Beware. ### 4/5 — Great Team *2017-10-24* I love the team. They all work well together and are good to watch. They each have personalities that are interesting and easy to listen and watch. ### 4/5 — jobri *2017-10-01, version 14.24.21* Newest version is great!! ### 4/5 — Horrible!!! *2017-09-14, version 14.24.21* What happened to State & National news headlines? Homepage is smaller and difficult to read, repeated stories on same page and navigation is dreadful! No settings option and you can't adjust weather forecast for your own zip code. Should not have updated until ALL changes were complete. This app will hit the 'trash' if not Improved quickly. 5/5/13 update: This new app has not improved. Categories have been added but are a jumble of repeated stories. I don't want all sports on the local headline page, there's a sports category for that. App always freezing up and slow to respond. I give up - deleted. 9/14/17 UPDATE: Sorry I haven't updated this long before now. Many changes & updates have occurred over time and the newest format is even better imo. This app is now one of our go-to apps for local news and info. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — OK *2017-09-13, version 14.24.21* This works ok. ### 3/5 — Pop up adds crash program *2017-07-14, version 5.22.1* This program has been my go to news program for sometime, but since the last upgrade there have been pop up adds that cause the program to lock up on the add. The program must be closed and reopened to get past the pop up. Still a good program and would rate it higher except for this problem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Problems *2024-02-23* Cant get rid of the introductory pages. Cant move on to the news stories. ### 1/5 — Broken again *2024-02-16* The weather tab is broken and crashes the App with the latest upgrade. ### 1/5 — New version don’t WORK , *2024-02-10* Can’t get past the set location!! New I phone 5G SE- iOS 17 Cell data- on Location-on ### 1/5 — Locked up *2022-01-22, version 41.8.0* 1/22/22 They completely updated this App and it’s worse then it was before. Every news story is full of ads and multiple videos (ads) that automatically play. You can barely scroll because it’s so glitchy. Locks up on almost every story but, don’t worry, to get out of the story you just have to close the App. I selected a story this morning that ended up being just a video and I couldn’t get out of it and back to other news stories. I had to close the App. So why do I keep using the App after my first negative review of it? Because there’s only two local news sources here and, they offer different news stories. Hopefully the idiots that can’t figure out how to get this App to work properly will be fired and things will improve. But I doubt it. Nobody over at ksnt is very bright. Worst news app anywhere! Continually crashes. Over and over. obviously KSNT doesn’t care or they’d fix it. This didn’t just start happening, it is the history of the app. 11/23/2020 update. I figured out why this App crashes so often. Because once it crashes and you open it again another ad pops up. It all about getting paid every time the ad pops up. So...more crashes, more $$$. ### 1/5 — Nothing But Adds *2020-12-30* When adds pop up, which I’d frequently, I go elsewhere to look for news. ### 1/5 — KSNT *2020-10-01, version 40.35.470055366* App freezes constantly on my iPhone and my wife’s phone ### 1/5 — Marshall Sheppard *2020-09-29* The app freezes up almost every time I open it the first time, I have to force close it and reopen it, gets annoying is all ### 1/5 — Outdoorsman show *2019-09-30* I work as Veterinary Technician and I find this show a insult and abomination to the life of all living things! This program is disgusting you can’t talk about how beautifully an animal can jump while it lays dead at your hand seriously what is wrong with you people and why would you put this on your network??? This program is in one word awful!!! ### 1/5 — App is Crap! *2018-05-07* Crap app! Live news selection doesn't work most of the time or is just a picture of a radar weather map with some lame elevator music blaring in the background. The rare time the live button provides live news, don't wait too late to catch the weather forecast, you can end up missing it because of being forced to first watch a commercial about bowel movements or stopping smoking. Then if you touch the incorrect button, it will throw you back to the main screen, only to be forced to repeat the dreadful process all over again, and end up missing the weather forecast completely! ### 1/5 — Ads take over *2016-04-21, version 5.15* If you don't mind a car salesman blaring in your ears while you are trying to read the news....go for it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Critical analysis *2024-02-07* The app has some issues. It used to work great but now it’s stuck on the same pagei ### 5/5 — New Reporter, L.L. is very professional *2020-12-04* Lindley Lund has been the reporter on many stories from the field, I’m impressed with her maturity and professionalism. ### 5/5 — Great Work *2020-08-21* Write the latest, uglies and prettiest news that what what it makes it worth to read. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-04-06, version 40.35.290053022* Good ### 5/5 — David George *2019-12-27* I love his weather forecast that pops up in the morning ,however I can never find it again . ### 5/5 — Overall good for what is produced. Keeping up with technology is key. *2018-10-17* I’m generally happy with this. I would hope for more content if I can’t watch vids. ### 5/5 — News coverage as well as weather . *2017-10-30* Up-to-date broad coverage of local state and national news. Reported with clarity and forethought. Good reporting, follow up of stories is welcome. Sports is a strength as well. ### 5/5 — News and weather *2017-09-11* Great job keeping me up to date with the good and bad news. ### 5/5 — Regarding the earthquake felt this am. *2016-09-03, version 5.17.3* Good reporting. We felt it in our area- Knollwood. Also, my sister in Omaha, Nebraska felt it- like a rumbling/ a heavy truck going by. ### 5/5 — LIVE *2013-11-25, version 3.1.2* Love the live portion of this app, most updated app on the market. Best app for updated and accurate weather. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
