We watch this channel more for Han the others. We don’t have cable any more so the only issue I have sometimes is when the channel does come in even when I rescan. It’s still better than paying for cable. ### 4/5 — I like the app but.. *2016-08-02, version 2.0* I really love this app but I don't really like the new update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest redesign broke the app *2026-03-06, version 7.0.1* This new update was clearly never tested. It is stacked with popups on top of each other. I’m literally closing 10 popups before I can get to a story. At least the old app only had one popup which was annoying enough but 10? Come on ### 1/5 — News is fine ads are loud *2025-11-15, version 6.0.17* I just want to quietly read the news but the ads pop up screaming at me. Very obnoxious. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-04-01, version 5.0.7* There is definitely something wrong between this app and my iPad. I tried loading it at 1030 am today and continuously sinc then it has popped my App Store open and asked me to download it again and again and again. This has been going on for at least the last 10 hours even tho I have removed the app from my iPad several times. Seriously frustrating. Please do something about this to help others avoid this disturbing and exasperating experience. I cannot give this a higher rating for this reason. ### 1/5 — Notifications *2016-02-09, version 1.3* When the kids were takin in Storm lake the digit 1 showed above my app. When they were found, the digit 2. I cannot seem to delete these numbers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no avail. Update. 02/09/16 Took it down a notch. Alerts still are not fixed. ### 1/5 — Notifications Will Not Clear *2016-01-18, version 1.3* The notification badge will not clear. I have even deleted and re-downloaded the app and they will not clear. This has been going on for over a month with no fix. ### 2/5 — Not dependable *2026-05-29, version 7.0.4* We recently moved to an area where there is no local TV station. An antenna will not reach to Sioux City and we do not have cable. Having enjoyed KTIV’s newscasts where we lived before we downloaded the KTIV News NOW App so we could continue to receive KTIV news. But we never know if it is going to come on or not. Sometimes it comes on right at 10:00, but it might be 10:05 or 10:35 or it may not come on at all. It’s not dependable and frustrating. ### 3/5 — Poor audio *2019-09-20, version 4.33.530045983* Enjoy KTIV but for the past week or so the audio has been cutting out. Has this been a problem? ### 4/5 — Just a small funny thing to share *2023-09-15, version 6.0.10* As a super scared person of storms my mom told me that the more I know about weather the less I'll be scared so my mom's a librarian and she got I believe it's rob? To come visit it was really nice and cool nice app btw! ### 4/5 — Review *2020-10-15, version 4.35.570057558* Nice to keep up to date on SC news since we moved to Colorado. ### 4/5 — Same as everyone else *2019-09-11, version 4.33.530045983* This is the same app design as Kcau and Kelo can't any one be different anymore liked the old app way better The pop up adds are very annoying ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best in Siouxland *2021-06-28, version 4.35.570057558* Great local coverage with up to date information. ### 5/5 — Weatherman *2020-01-04, version 4.34.260050190* Really like Leslie London doing weather cover all things well and factual to the point. And beautiful appearance. ### 5/5 — Weather *2019-09-08, version 4.33.530045983* Always use Ktiv as weather source ### 5/5 — KTIV is all we watch *2019-09-03, version 4.33.530045983* KTIV is the only television station that our family will watch. We know we can believe everything that comes on the station local or otherwise we know that we can trust the weather to be accurate and very much to be depended upon no matter Rain, snow or sunshine. I have watched this station since I was a little kid and I am 67 now so I guess I know a great thing when I have stayed with it for that long. ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2019-03-17, version 4.33.340043813* It’s good stuff ### 5/5 — Best weather updates *2019-02-23, version 4.30.470042933* This app keeps me updated and informed day in and day out about the weather in my area. ### 5/5 — The Greatest TV Station Ever *2018-12-01, version 4.30.470042255* I think that KTIV is the great station we have in the Siouxland Area The cast of KTIV make you feel like family.They present the new and the developing reports very throughly.They are always on top of any new development as they come in .KTIV is the only news channel I enjoy watching every day and is the only channel that bring accurate new to the Siouxland area I was very mad and missed KTIV when they were off the air a few months ago I prayed that things would get settled so we could get the channel back upon the air I hope they continue to give the great service of reporting the news for a long time ThIS IS THE BEST NEWS STATION EVER .Thank you Diane Brummond ### 5/5 — The 1 news channel *2018-09-18, version 4.30.450041598* Keep up the good work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
