Many times there is nothing about story. Would rather have written version available without the video. Need to have option of just reading or just watching. ### 2/5 — Way too many ads. *2025-06-23, version 9.2* There are so many ads that I can’t find the information that I got notified about. I deleted from my phone out of frustration. ### 2/5 — Listening live stops playing when another app is opened *2024-09-20, version 9.1* Having difficulty reporting to app support ### 2/5 — Hit and miss *2023-12-11, version 8.2* The mobile app as well as the Apple TV app work sometimes. The KHQ splash screen with annoying sound can play over and over and over and over, you get what I mean. Sometimes you just want to watch the current evening news but this app will go to the previous morning show. Sometimes it’s just better to go another local Spokane station app that works much better. ### 2/5 — New format is frustrating *2022-12-11, version 8.1* I have had this app for several years. Some updates I’ve liked, some not so much. The current format/update is the worst to date. Navigation is sketchy, most stories force you to watch video clips from news casts, and story updates are lax at best. KHQ continues to be my go to local news channel, however I plan to dump this app and look at krems. ### 2/5 — New update not an improvement *2022-11-02, version 8.0* On a superficial level I greatly dislike the new “nonstop local news” logo. My main issue is the addition of sponsored content that is made to looks like news stories. ### 2/5 — Needs Work *2022-01-08, version 7.0* Really frustrating with amateur programming. If you enable notifications the app won’t take you to the actual article in the notification. It takes you to a bunch of other stuff- in clear view of their advertisements, of course. Not a wonder journalism isn’t a respectable profession these days. ### 1/5 — App does not allow management of notifications *2021-01-16, version 6.1* Using the settings I limited notifications to breaking news and weather alerts, but I still get spammed with sports notifications. ### 3/5 — The problem is it’s not good *2020-12-28, version 6.1* Other local news apps are much better. Very bad pop up ads cause you to click on things accidentally and see adds before you get anywhere near reading the story. Also how they prioritize what news items get a notification is very strange. I’d hear things about celebrities but not a peep about legitimate local news stories. Not helpful. I’m also seeing more and more language that shows they have right-leaning political views which is inappropriate. I value facts and neutrality in news organizations, so I’ve deleted this app. ### 1/5 — Never opens *2020-05-17, version 5.3* This app literally never opens. ### 1/5 — 15 seconds to open app *2019-12-29, version 5.1* Please let me close ads for a game I’ll never buy or play! I don’t want to wait 15 seconds watching an a game advertisement before I see the headlines. Deleting app after years of use. ### 1/5 — Stop the adds that tack you off the app *2019-12-25, version 5.1* I love the app but it is very frustrating that You guys don’t have The bugs worked out, You let an app take over before you get to your app. I no longer want to be involved in your BS advertising 🖕 ### 1/5 — Live Stream Doesn’t Work *2019-12-06, version 5.1* App is slow to load anything and the “live stream” only works like it should about 10% of the time (the other 90% it shows either the most recent previous news cast or another program all together). ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-07-23, version 5.0* Either sits there and buffers saying your content will be right back or plays an old news cast. The live feature doesn’t work at all. What a disappointment. ### 1/5 — Crash city *2019-05-31, version 4.30.410039723* Does not work on iPhone X They seem to be unable to fix Very sad ### 3/5 — Stories are blank *2018-12-17, version 4.30.410039723* Half the time I click on a story; it comes up blank. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of my time *2026-07-28, version 9.6* If you’re going to be a news organization, put important facts in the posting that public can be informed about. ### 1/5 — Left-Wing Biased Reporting! *2026-07-26, version 9.6* Terribly left biased news reporting! Shameful constantly negative news. We the people see what you’re doing and are turning you off!!! ### 1/5 — Hangs my device, too much AP *2026-07-18, version 9.6* Launching this app almost always hangs my device. Also, too much AP sourced news, which is one of 5he most unreliable sources. ### 1/5 — New version stops streaming when my device locks. *2025-08-20, version 9.3* Just started today. Please fix. ### 1/5 — If I got paid to watch ads I’d be a millionaire *2025-05-09, version 9.2* I wake up really early in the am for work and want to watch some news when I wake, in a 30 minute period I saw 3 news articles that were one or 2 minutes each and the rest of the time it was ads. SO MANY ADS! ### 1/5 — Ad laden App like their broadcasts *2025-02-14, version 9.2* When I want to see the news, I want to see the news. I don’t wanna see a word from your sponsors, I don’t wanna see endless commercials. In 1/2 hour you broadcast approximately 13 minutes, the app in short pretty much does the same thing. You get a notification you tap on it to see what it is and almost immediately you are bombarded with more advertisements while you’re trying to scroll through that which you just got an alert, I don’t need more advertisements, and therefore your app has been uninstalled. I won’t be installing this again. ### 1/5 — Loaded with pop up ads *2023-02-02, version 8.1* This app is useless. Pop up ads everywhere you can’t even navigate through it… ### 1/5 — Little news and too many alerts *2022-11-26, version 8.1* This is one of many news apps that abuses the “Breaking News” notification. Plus the stories on the page are old and not updated. Not worth the space on your phone. ### 1/5 — Useless for local news. *2021-07-10, version 7.0* Since when is Charlottesville WV consider “Regional News”. And forget about trying to even find information on local wildfires. Garbage and deleted ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-06-17, version 7.0* Locked on first screen! Fix please ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Local News is Important *2025-11-02, version 9.4* We all need to be aware of what is going on in our community. That includes crime, inclement weather, and many other Situations that could affect residents negatively or otherwise. ### 5/5 — Tv providers *2019-09-14, version 5.0* Tv providers I DO NOT TRUST Because they can take any tv channel. That is why I use Apple TV to watch tv. This is a great app. I wish you would put live tv in this app. And you could connect this app to Apple TV like the CW and other tv apps And Fox News channels and like other News apps does. This is just an idea. From Jack ### 5/5 — Live stream *2018-09-28, version 4.30.410039723* I like the live stream. I used it all day off and on during the Kavanaugh/Ford hearing yesterday. ### 5/5 — Why KHQ ? *2018-04-11, version 4.28.180035338* The wake up show is full of personality, up to the minute news, and the Lowe down on current weather. I call it my balanced breakfast news!! The 5pm news is a teaser to what’s for dinner at 6. So when I’m having my dinner I get updates and information plus forecasts of the next day. ### 5/5 — Fix the Bluetooth message. Edited to show it has been fixed. *2017-06-21, version 4.24.210030775* I was hoping the update would fix this like KREM update did months ago. Would be a great app if it wasn't for that annoying message. Edited now that the Bluetooth message has been removed. ### 5/5 — Love *2017-06-13, version 4.22.260027051* Great app. Spokane rules!!! Love Claire Graham!!! ### 5/5 — Always in the know *2017-05-21, version 4.21.290026344* This app has really helped me stay on top of all the most important news related to my Spokane. I usually am the one to relay what is happening to all my coworkers because of it. Would never delete it. ### 5/5 — Great news app *2017-03-09, version 4.21.280024497* The khq news app is great. Good graphics, very informative and they keep current news up to date. I use it very often.
