This is terrible because I want Weather & Emergency notifications only. ### 2/5 — Ads ads ads *2025-03-01, version 60001.2* Ruined a decent site with too many pop up ads. ### 2/5 — News 4 app *2023-03-14, version 50000.01.110060504* We listen to KXLY news most every day. We like the news team. But the app is just ridiculous. Hard to navigate to any story. Press on top stories and you get one sentence for a news item. When you touch a story you should be taken to the entire piece! And then you get to hear the report. I can read. I don’t want to hear the report. I want to read it while not bothering anyone with my phone blaring some news article. ### 3/5 — Scrolling Issues *2022-08-11, version 40000.35.750059595* When I scroll down, the app constantly brings me back to the top. So annoying that I go to other news outlets! ### 2/5 — Jumps around *2021-11-11, version 40000.35.730059451* App jumps around too much when you look at “more stories”. Sometimes it is ads loading and taking up their allotted space, other times it is just trying to scroll and you are suddenly back at the top of the page. Other local news apps don’t do this. Simple problem, have started to decrease use of this app because of it. ### 4/5 — Weather and Sky Observation. *2021-08-13, version 40000.35.710059142* Please talk about the meteor show during August. Squirrel ### 1/5 — Good website *2020-12-19, version 40000.35.470055276* I read through this website every morning during breakfast. My only complaint is that I wish the stories were dated, especially the weather reports. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which days the weather report applies to, because old reports can sit on the website for days. ### 1/5 — Website *2020-12-19, version 40000.35.470055276* You need a new design and layout. Look at some other sites and get some new ideas. ### 1/5 — Fake *2020-11-05, version 40000.35.470055276* Not a reliable news source period Not a credible new source period ### 2/5 — Spammers *2020-07-03, version 40000.35.220051961* Poorly done. Deleted ### 3/5 — 11 pm weather presentation *2019-11-05, version 40000.34.230049473* I habitually watch an 11 pm news program, mostly for the weather update. KXLY has been my choice for quite a few years. When Katerina was introduced as a substitute weather person, I was unimpressed, but decided to see if she could grow into the job. But, after several weeks, her weather information presentation remains annoyingly inane. I’m sorry to say that I’m starting to evaluate other channels, searching for meaningful weather presentation. ### 1/5 — Too many glitches! *2019-10-26, version 40000.34.230049473* No matter how many updates I get, there is always the same glitches! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ok for local news *2025-11-24, version 60002.1* I have this for local news but it’s typical left wing bent of leaving out facts and adding adjectives that pit one side against the other. ### 1/5 — No show *2025-10-03, version 60001.2* Adverts go on forever. Story never comes up. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Weather guy reports from a box. Pretty cheap news outlet not to have a normal weather channel. *2024-12-13, version 60001.2* Lacks someone in a studio. Weather man reports from a small cubicle. Lol. ### 1/5 — Horrible notification settings *2024-03-16, version 60001* There is no way to only have “breaking news” notifications. It’s either no notifications, or all the notifications. And they send dozens of completely useless notifications throughout a given day. It is unfortunate because I would like to get my news from KXLY, but now I have to go somewhere else ### 1/5 — Jumps to the top too often! *2022-09-09, version 40000.35.750059595* when using this app, it constantly jumps back to the top so I am unable to scroll down and read the stories further down. It’s very frustrating, ### 1/5 — Can’t read news *2022-08-25, version 40000.35.750059595* It keeps resetting to the top. Cannot read the headlines because of this. The app is worthless ### 1/5 — Constant aggravation *2022-07-18, version 40000.35.750059595* Even typing this review, the screen is blank! Constant loading, refreshing, every other segment is an ad, have to keep re-scrolling down t through stories to get to older ones (keeps kicking you back to the top of the page). Makes me want to throw the phone down. Awful app. ### 1/5 — App resets to top *2022-04-03, version 40000.35.750059595* Every time I tried to scroll down to different stories, the app reset to the top. Super cool feature…. ### 1/5 — Poorly written software! *2022-01-03, version 40000.35.740059579* It won’t let me scroll down! Always bump’s me back to the top. ### 1/5 — Frustrating to use *2021-12-17, version 40000.35.740059579* This app is very frustrating to use. You try to scroll down to the stories and every few seconds or so it jumps back to the top of the page. It makes it almost unusable unless you are only interested in the top story on each page. I just look at their web site in the browser instead. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App review *2022-01-02, version 40000.35.740059579* As of yesterday your weather page simply wasn’t functioning. Not the first time one or more of your links kicked me out. With all respect you need to up your game. ### 5/5 — Obituaries *2021-08-15, version 40000.35.710059142* I live in Spokane. Why don’t I see obituaries for Spokane instead of all outlying communities? ### 5/5 — Para educator *2021-07-20, version 40000.35.700058930* Tired of paying a fortune for the Spokesman Review. Glad to see current stories online. Especially Covid numbers. ### 5/5 — Real news everyday. *2020-05-02, version 40000.35.220051961* Didn’t watch local news, but KREW 2 is my now my go to news channel for non political news. Real news without the “happy news” that used to be local news channels thing. Tom Sherry brightens my day. ### 5/5 — This is a good news app *2019-10-25, version 40000.34.190048959* I ### 5/5 — Top notch coverage! *2019-10-24, version 40000.34.190048959* Good people I can trust! ### 5/5 — Great people. Trusted *2019-07-05, version 40000.33.400044666* Can’t start my day without KXLY fix. ### 5/5 — KXLY NEWS! *2017-08-15, version 3.74.0* The app is very easy to use however a video forecast and a traffic section were added the app would be even better. ### 5/5 — App is awesome *2016-07-11* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Grammi *2016-04-24, version 4.4.1* We enjoy KXLY great team work. Even my 3 year old grandson reacts when Mark Peterson comes on. Thanks to all who makes KXLY the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
