### 2/5 — Not a great app

*2020-02-06, version 4.34.260050191*

Very inconsistent about updates and breaking news.   Some stories will stay on the page for days.   They also have a liberal bias.

### 3/5 — Kttc

*2019-02-23, version 4.30.460042130*

I like the general layout except there isn't a very good search for previous articles unless you have the exact wording and/or time to look thru results with vague keywords and a bit of luck. Also it is unsettling to hear breaking news stories that have little to no info on who/what/when/where & how but almost always says more on this story later, but all too often it isn't talked about. So when you hear someone has died in your town, It's hard to think about anything but who that could have been. Mom, Dad, Friend, spouse, Child? The updates should be sent out the same as Alerts

### 3/5 — Cast

*2018-12-30, version 4.30.460042130*

I like the app, however it would be nice to be able to cast the streams to my tv with chromecast.  Please look into this thanks

### 3/5 — Wish live streaming was available

*2014-09-15, version 1.0*

Since we can't get the over the air signal in Rochester for NBC it would be nice to have a live broadcast of the morning and evening and 10pm news to play on the Apple TV. Also integration on apple airplay would help. 
Or just put a broadcast antenna in Rochester at your studio. 
App works mostly fine though.

### 1/5 — Streaming new app

*2026-04-14, version 7.0.3*

I don’t like the format , it buffers too long before connecting

### 1/5 — Ads Block And Freeze the Application

*2026-04-01, version 7.0.2*

Fan Dual app add has no closing widget and blocks the screen making the app useless.  It won’t go away eve if you restart the app.  The application itself is unstable on IOS for ipad and crashes without warning sometimes requiring a reinstall.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-19, version 7.0.2*

Terrible app now. I downloaded for news not ads. It used to be so much better. Also, I now have this red dot constantly and cannot get rid of.

### 1/5 — New update sucks

*2026-03-07, version 7.0.1*

Put it back the way it was

### 1/5 — Cluttered with ads and videos that fail to play

*2025-04-04, version 6.0.16*

The app is out. Eat way to access local news. Unfortunately the app is of poor quality. One has to scroll through ads and unrelated material to get to the news. Frequently I encounter video clips that won’t play. I just close it out and wish it were better.

### 1/5 — Verbal announcement has to go

*2023-12-19, version 6.0.13*

I used to like this app. No longer. I will now delete this app from my phone with its obnoxious “a news update from KTTC” announcement interrupting what I’m doing.

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2022-12-24, version 5.0.11*

App won’t open on new iPhone 14

### 1/5 — App Crashes on iPhone 6 iOS 11.2.6

*2019-12-04, version 4.34.260050191*

The App crashes after latest update on iPhone 6 running iOS 11.2.6
Can’t contact app support... web page not available.

This app is free... and is worth almost every penny.

### 1/5 — Not a balanced news organization

*2018-10-26, version 4.30.460042130*

KTTC stories appear to be “cherry picked” to promote their political agenda.  I’m disappointed.

### 1/5 — The worst news app for our area.

*2016-03-31, version 1.3*

It's embarrassing! Duplicate stories, tabs that aren't needed.

### 5/5 — Good news everyone!!

*2016-12-19, version 2.1.0*

This app gives me all the local updates I'm looking for. I love the school closings feature! I definitely recommend this for anyone living in the SE MN area.

### 5/5 — OMG

*2015-01-04, version 1.2*

In love with this app!

### 5/5 — Good App

*2014-06-10, version 1.0*

Kttc is a great app and good stuff on there but you can't watch the live video are you able to fix it?

### 4/5 — Question

*2019-10-16, version 4.33.530045984*

Why didn’t Chanel 10 tell us about the three defense motions that were denied as Chanel 3did. Vary important moations.

### 4/5 — Not a fan of the new graphics

*2018-11-03, version 4.30.460042130*

News articles have an identical look to every add. Not a fan.

### 4/5 — Links

*2015-03-10, version 1.2*

I would like to see the links to your broadcast for instance like, Mr. food and whatever else has links to look into.

### 3/5 — Iffy data

*2020-08-12, version 4.35.470055535*

The weather use to be pretty accurate and trustworthy but now it’s off by hours sometimes even days. The news stories are pretty good, but weather needs some work and updated on accuracy.
