It will occasionally load an ad. Once the ad has been closed, it locks up. Poor poor poor. ### 1/5 — Kwqc *2021-03-05, version 1.2.3* App does not work used to check it 1st thing now it won’t open,even after deleting and then downloading new app will not open ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open *2021-03-02, version 1.2.3* App won’t open after update 5 days ago, acts like it will open but just spins and never opens. ### 1/5 — What’s up with the averages? *2020-11-21, version 1.2.1* KWQC was giving rolling 14 day per for COVID-19 tests. Last week they switched to averaging all the tests going back to March, making our ppr meaningless. Now they’ve switched again. They give Illinois full info and zip..nada for Iowa. I cannot use such a biased source of news. Just deleted it. ### 2/5 — KWQC news app *2020-03-03, version 1.1.4* Have the old app and can’t upload new app. What is the problem?? ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-02-25, version 1.1.4* I removed it. ### 1/5 — KWQC app *2020-01-05, version 1.1.4* Old app worked fine. Now app won’t open on iPhone. What happened? ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2019-11-22, version 1.1.3* Disappointed with app. Every time I open the app and click on whatever news story, app closes out immediately. This has never happened before up until the past week or so. ### 1/5 — Ads galore *2019-10-31, version 1.1.2* Unfortunately this news is riddled with ads! Hard to find the actual news given the overwhelming ads taking up most of the space. Get that ads are needed to generate income but this is ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-10-26, version 1.1.2* I used to have this app and use it all the time , I’ve recently had to uninstall due to it not opening at all it acts like it’s gonna load then just closes out . ### 1/5 — App won’t open for me *2019-10-05, version 1.1.2* Waiting for an update that will fix it. It never happens. I can see alerts but ap won’t open for news story. ### 1/5 — Alerts drive me crazy *2019-05-30, version 1.0.7* I turned off the alerts and it still keeps telling me flood warning. App is now deleted ### 2/5 — This app won’t work for me *2018-11-05, version 1.0.5* I’ve downloaded this app twice and both times when I open it the app just loads and never opens🤷🏼‍♀️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Your app sucks *2026-06-21, version 3.0.6* The player resets every time I have to navigate away from the live tab. When I try to watch previous broadcasts they only play for a min or two before it quits or lags out. ### 1/5 — Auto play ads *2026-05-13, version 3.0.3* It now plays ads automatically. Trying to read an article and some ad starts playing. I had my AirPods in listening to music and had an unwelcome surprise. ### 1/5 — Review *2026-03-09, version 3.0.1* I do not like your new app at all. I can’t find what I’m looking for now. Also I have watched KWQC channel 6 news for 45 years but with all your technical problems I will be switching to your competitors from now on. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-03-06, version 3.0.1* Do not like the new app. You had a good thing with the old version. ### 1/5 — No access *2026-02-16, version 2.0.16* The app doesn’t let me access. Previous newscast just keeps sending me to the same stuff you click on previous news and you get nothing switching to ABC. ### 1/5 — Geneseo Boys Sports *2026-02-08, version 2.0.16* I have not seen any reporting on Geneseo Wrestlers go to State. What about the Wrestling team going to State? The school is part of the Western Big Six. ### 1/5 — Pop up video ads too much *2024-03-12, version 2.0.14* I didn’t mind so much pop up ads but when you are trying to be quiet somewhere and just read the news and video ads keep popping up as soon as you open the app it gets pretty annoying. I will be deleting this app because of the pop up videos ### 1/5 — App does not work well. *2023-11-18, version 2.0.12* When I get a notice and click it, nothing happens in the app. Got notice of of the live streaming of the Testim of trees clicked it, but it didn’t take me to it. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2023-01-16, version 1.3.12* Downloaded the app. Tried to open it. It just spun and spun, and spun. Deleted the app and re-download it. It still spins and spins and won’t open will be deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Intentionally deceptive *2023-01-05, version 1.3.12* Obviously mixing ‘real’ news stories with ads and sponsored content. All made to look the same. Intentionally deceptive. Too many ads also ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Channel 6 review *2022-12-30, version 1.3.12* I like weather notifications and road closures it helps me navigate my drive through the Qca ### 5/5 — Best *2018-08-07, version 1.0.3* Kwqc is the best ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2017-08-24, version 1.0.1* I love the new app!!! The radar is awesome!!! Normally, I use the WQAD radar but I can't wait to use this new one next time we get poor weather conditions!!! ### 4/5 — Works great *2022-05-21, version 1.3.10* This app is great but it would be easier on the eyes if you had a dark mode ### 4/5 — Chrome cast support needed *2019-06-27, version 1.0.8* I love the app but would like support for chrome cast as well. ### 3/5 — More difficult to use *2026-03-29, version 3.0.2* It has become more difficult to use in the new format ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2018-06-09, version 1.0.3* Clean up all the ads and people will use it! Radar is better! ### 2/5 — Hard to navigate. Dumb layout. *2024-01-17, version 2.0.14* Probably one of the weirdest news apps I’ve ever used. The first main link, to the weather, doesn’t take you to any weather news. Instead of opens up the App Store so you can download their weather app. Forget it. Deleted the app and will go to WQAC News. ### 2/5 — Sad about changes *2023-01-28, version 2.0.1* I loved this app and used it all the time but since the recent update it won't let me see the weather and instead tries to have me download their separate weather app. Nope! You get one spot on my phone. I may switch to another channel. ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2020-12-09, version 1.2.1* Since resetting my iPad, this app will not load content! Just keeps thinking,and thinking, and thinking! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
