I had to search for it in my phone’s browser and then click on the story that way. I’d give it 5 stars if it had a search option within the app. ### 2/5 — “New” app *2024-12-03, version 300.0* I totally dislike the new look of the app. I also find the new app hard to navigate versus the first time I opened and used the old app. This new app gives an appearance of easier access, however, I have not been able to get it to allow me to see what I want. 👎 😖 😞 I have not had access to a working TV for more than 8 years and use the KTBS app to stay informed. Also when I am traveling I like to watch my local news and watch the evening newscasts. KTBS is in my opinion a great station with great people on staff. I find y’all to be in my opinion an exceptional news source. I’ll figure it out sooner or later however, it’s been a pain in the neck. ### 3/5 — News notifications *2024-12-02, version 300.0* When I get a notification and click on the notification banner, it goes to another screen that requires me to HUNT for the notification instead of going directly to the notification ### 2/5 — Not so good *2019-02-09, version 5.3* I don’t need to see the same story repeated several times as I scroll down. Don’t need videos that begin with an ad. ### 2/5 — Video only *2018-12-29, version 5.3* I would like the option to READ the news. I removed the app because it was only video. ### 2/5 — Videos *2018-12-09, version 5.3* Not everything needs to be a video. Sometimes it’s not appropriate to launch a video in a doctors office for instance. Please give option to read story. ### 3/5 — Good app. *2017-05-23, version 4.22.300027941* The alerts keep you informed. But I find it hard to navigate and find items in the app. But overall it's a good app. ### 1/5 — Not good *2016-12-31, version 4.21.280024388* Always slow on current stories Seems like that would fix it. ### 2/5 — KTBS *2016-12-15, version 4.21.280024388* Leave too much old events and news on site. Too messy and too much on your page. So large you cannot keep it up to date. Cut it back and be up to date ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2016-08-11, version 4.19.210019279* The news hardly ever updates and there are way too many ads. ### 1/5 — Slow *2016-07-24, version 4.19.210019279* Slow loading. Old news. Too many "alerts" that are not really alerts. Messy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App *2026-03-10, version 300.0* Your company has successfully created the worst news app, and the best advertising media app. It’s impossible to use and a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Layout *2024-12-12, version 300.0* Don’t like the new KTBS plus streaming layout ### 1/5 — New site *2024-12-04, version 300.0* I do not like the new web site. I liked the other one better. ### 1/5 — I can’t delete this app 😡😡 *2024-08-29, version 212.0* How do I delete the app?????? ### 1/5 — Need to fix your technical issues!! *2023-10-02, version 133.1* Keep having to delete the app and re download it to even get the app to open up. Works for a day then I have to do the same thing over and over ### 1/5 — KTBS3 App Poor! *2020-06-30, version 5.7* Constantly crashes upon opening! ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-11-17, version 5.2* Want news; turn off these sports scores. ### 1/5 — If you're wanting to use for local weather, don't! *2017-06-25, version 5.0* The latest update makes it difficult to navigate. It's basically the same as if you went to their website. The interactive radar is no longer available. I am deleting this app and going to only use the KTBS weather app. Bummer. ### 1/5 — Annoying. *2017-02-16, version 4.21.280024388* Why send a breaking news alert that is just a headline? ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2017-01-21, version 4.21.280024388* The ads In the jail booking that automatically open and take me away from what I was looking at made me stop using this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Joe Hanes *2026-02-23, version 300.0* Fb following this great meteorologist! ### 5/5 — Ruston Strong *2019-05-04, version 5.4* Always up to date on what is going on. ### 5/5 — Instant news *2017-06-15, version 4.22.300027941* Channel 3 keeps me advised of all the current news and weather! ### 5/5 — Made money! *2016-05-14, version 4.17.680017155* Started making cash the first day I used it. ### 5/5 — Best News/Weather TV Station! *2016-05-09, version 4.17.680017155* KTBS CHANNEL 3--The Ark-La-Tex coverage f/news & weather is outstanding,7 days a week, & delivered CLEARLY! Sports' coverage is also outstanding(!), but personally to me, it's delivered too rapidly, sometimes hard to understand (not clear enough) & I can't decipher the conversation between anchors & sports personnel, @ the end of sports session.
