It's distracting. Perhaps you should hire additional editors. ### 1/5 — Won't load new news *2013-05-09* It hasn't updated the news stories in 5 days. ### 1/5 — Same ol same *2012-11-25* Has had the same news stories for 4 days. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2011-05-18* This app crashes faster then you can blink! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Plagued with popup ads *2025-08-15* This app is horrible, I can barely read any articles due to ads constantly taking over and when you try to exit them they take up the whole screen. ### 1/5 — Walela777 *2020-10-28* Still glitchy BUT the ‘APP SUPPORT’ is nonexistent as you are routed to the app which has no support option. 😢😢😢🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Was great now crashes every time *2017-01-15* It was a reasonable app before the latest version. Though, stories were not often updated. Now with the latest version, opening any story crashes the app. Too bad ### 1/5 — Totally Confusing! *2017-01-07, version 6.11.6* Can't open! Alternative to NWCN (shutting down) ### 1/5 — M *2015-12-01* This app now is useless as the local newsfeed hasn't updated in over a month. I'd also like to mention this review wouldn't be quite so bad if I didn't have to reenter it every time you tell me the nickname is in use and close out before I can try a different one. Seriously it is useless. Too bad I used to like it before the July update ### 1/5 — KVAL news app *2015-11-23* This app has not worked or been updated since October 28, 2015 ### 1/5 — worst possible app *2015-11-18* Poorly design, lack professional appearance, surprised that KVAL would this type of image on the web to represent their organization ### 1/5 — Worthless *2015-09-26* Don't waste your time. Not user friendly and local news not a priority ### 1/5 — Won't display news since update *2015-09-25* All I can get are the directions on how it works, but can't close them to get to the news. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Go back to older version *2015-09-22* Since the recent updates my favorite local news app will not go into horizontal mode on my IPad. Seems to work ok on iPhone but is frustrating me to no end. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2012-01-18* Keeps me updated. ### 3/5 — Casting? *2017-03-28, version 6.12.0* Be nice if supported chrome/roku casting ### 3/5 — Ads are annoying *2012-03-27* The ads are starting to use a lot of flickering jumpy icons which makes it very distracting to use the app. Please remove them. A small fee for a no app version would be fine. Or perhaps go back to simple text-only or static image apps ### 2/5 — Notifications are broken *2024-04-01* I never receive push notifications anymore. Without that feature it sorta defeats the purpose of BREAKING NEWS stories. ### 2/5 — Weather *2018-02-28* You used to have a good weather app. With live maps & radar. Now it’s not worth looking at! Get back to the live all terrain maps like it used to be! ### 2/5 — Does anyone proofread this? *2014-04-21* There are so many spelling and syntax errors in the news stories that this app is becoming a joke. Get a proofreader...or two...or three. ### 2/5 — No new news for a few days *2012-07-05* This might not be updating correctly last new story if from the 2nd. And it's the 5th today. I also did the update thinking that would fix. May not be updating story's anymore I'm not sure. But was very good until lately. ### 2/5 — And how is this improved ? *2011-04-30* Too much emphasis on bells and whistles, without regard for functional layout and readability. A waste of finite bandwidth for reading the news. On the iPhone, only part of the headline of news items is displayed so I cant even discern the subject matter of an article. Lets admit that a news app should be a quick way to see current events, not a venue for someones coding prowress ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
