### 4/5 — SR

*2026-06-17*

Everyone is doing a good job. Viewer and staff adjustment to changes in news anchors and weather people takes time. We miss the livelihood and consistent manner of Tom Sherry’s reporting. Also, Sydney is a promising new addition, getting more and more comfortable to loosen up a bit in her role. We would politely and kindly suggest that she be provided with (or personally seek) some wardrobe and hair consultation.

### 4/5 — JB

*2026-06-16, version 50.13.0*

I don’t like having to turn off my VPN for the app to work.

### 3/5 — Audio

*2024-12-11*

The programming is great. However, I can’t stream on my TV in the morning while getting ready because the break content is extremely louder than the news programming. I end up waking up my whole house in the morning when you go to break.

### 3/5 — Splash screen takes too long

*2024-10-20, version 46.4.1*

The app takes a long time to load. Works well once loaded but in todays world of instant gratification the load time is annoying

### 3/5 — Sandpoint & Bonners Ferry

*2024-05-17*

Your news station is the most local new we receive.  We are up in Bonners Ferry. I don’t mind watching about Spokane traffic problems and news but I wish there was a station that would include North Idaho and not just Coeur d’Alene.  While I’m at it when I’m watching your televised news, the your news logo is up over and covers Bonners Ferry temperatures so the weatherman is showing all the temperatures but I can’t see Bonners Ferry as it’s covered.  Petty issues I know.

### 2/5 — App needs work

*2024-05-13, version 46.2.1*

Great news organization but the app is buggy and info doesn’t always come up correctly. Have updated app and deleted and reinstalled but still have issues.

### 5/5 — Go back with Dish!

*2024-05-02, version 46.2.1*

We can’t get KREM 2 in Moscow anymore as you know. Please work something out with DISH. Channel 4 did; why can’t you? Ed Whitehead

### 5/5 — Best News

*2024-04-17*

Love this news app. It’s informative and keeps me updated on all the news locally and surrounding areas. Breaking news comes right away too.

### 5/5 — Our “GO-TO” channel !

*2024-04-07*

It’s great to have needed information riiight at our fingertips .. from a trusted source! 
Now, if only someone could get Jeremy Lagoo to wear socks once in a while things would be just about perfect 😉😉

### 5/5 — Sometimes a challenging app,  but still good!

*2024-04-02*

Sometimes I find it hard to locate things/news stories and such on the app after seeing a push. It just may be my skills too. I absolutely love, love, love the “watch now” tool!  Thank you KREM 2!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-02-12, version 46.0.4*

Thank you for keeping us informed with everything going on. You tell honest news

### 5/5 — KREM 2

*2024-02-09, version 46.0.4*

I can’t begin to say how much I enjoy KREM 2 online and through the air! Anything I need to do I first check with KREM as a necessary precaution to make sure it’s safe to travel! Thank you KREM!!! Ron Malone79

### 3/5 — Ok, I guess

*2024-02-04, version 45.30.3*

Cuts off beginning of sentences often. Never on ads, just on the news and weather. It’s quite annoying.

### 5/5 — Really fun group.

*2024-02-02*

It’s fun to watch the team with such a wonderful blend of personalities. We get spoiled with all of the humor. When they rotate days off we get to see the all of them and they cover each subject as professionals do.

### 5/5 — Above & Beyond

*2023-12-12*

The KREM 2 news team goes above & beyond! I look at various sources for my news and everyone thinks there’s is better. But this station truly gives more pertinent information than the others. Love the details and their delivery!

### 5/5 — Love KREM

*2023-11-02, version 45.30.3*

Use this app everyday

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Was good, but now unusable

*2026-08-05, version 50.19.0*

Could not even open a news story without a pop up, that completely blocks the screen and cannot be closed accuses me of using an ad blocker ON THEIR APP. Even if this is a glitch or some error, it makes the app unusable.
Well, adios Krem; it is now deleted.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-08-03, version 50.19.0*

Why do I have pornographic images above the article? I do not want to see women's vaginas or boobs or their naked bodies yet that would come up. I am a conservative woman. I do not want to see that trash.

### 1/5 — Weather not based on Science

*2026-07-21, version 50.17.3*

KREM fired their meteorologist because he mentioned global warming. Trump's influence over our local broadcaster is disheartening. Jeremy is a really good meteorologist. He deserves a better employer. This means the news is also influenced. I no longer get any of my news or weather from KREM. Also, this app doesn't even have search capabilities.

### 1/5 — Too many indecent ads

*2026-02-04, version 46.5.3*

There are constantly ads popping up that feature nudity and mostly from the Temu app. I get on here to look at the weather, not half naked women. It’s super annoying and I’m deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Updated the app, Now it won’t Open

*2021-11-21, version 43.9.3*

11-21-21: I ran the current update today as this was supposed to fix bugs and performance. Now the app simply won’t open. Whatz up with that?!?! Supposed to be compatible with my phone and iOS. 
Used to be an awesome app. 
Sooo sad

### 1/5 — Use to be my go to for news.

*2021-10-01*

Recently I have changed where I get my weather and news. Krem2 was my go to for years. But after Jen quit and evan noorani left. Then brought on others. I stopped watching krem 2. Ran over to KHQ. Sorry guys but I find this cast very entertaining. Just like Jen York and evan noorani. I am leaving. It has been great over the years. I will miss the the team had. I am off to a new chapter in my life. With a great team. It’s been fun. Take care. Bye.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-07-10, version 43.5.19*

Can’t even get through a story and ads pop up making it impossible to continue and then having to go back againn.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-03-15, version 43.1.57*

Locks up because of the advertisements

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2020-12-07, version 42.12.20*

News only added Monday-Friday, doesn’t even get breaking news on weekend. the app takes weekends off. Don’t bother with KREM. Get the KHQ app if you want News

### 1/5 — Biased

*2020-10-06, version 42.10.17*

Just report. No one wants the reporters view, just facts... please...

### 5/5 — Up with Krem

*2026-06-17*

I have watched Krem for over 20 yrs. First thing I do when I get up is turn Krem on. I loved Tom Cheri enjoyed that also. But I have enjoyed this year with all of you people there but one thing I have to say that’s missing is Jeremy Lagoo I thought he was the best. He was funny saw a different things he did with Nicole with Mark. 
They always on it for breaking news for traffic weather. I think they’re the best and I’ll keep watching them.

### 5/5 — Really fun group.

*2026-02-13*

It’s fun to watch the team with such a wonderful blend of personalities. We get spoiled with all of the humor. When they rotate days off we get to see the all of them and they cover each subject as professionals do.

### 5/5 — Streaming

*2025-03-12*

Love being able to stream KREM 2 every morning on your app. There is a lot of times through out the year I would not be able to watch because of TV streaming choices I make that you are not available on. Example, right now I am streaming Netflix in a few months I might switch that up and  have Paramont plus where I can watch. I don’t watch enough TV to pay for multiple networks.

### 5/5 — Printed news

*2025-03-07*

I do not like to watch talking heads report the news, I much prefer to read it.  You have both, unlike another station that says read more, then shows a video.  The “other” sends an email with headlines.  Wish you would do that.

### 5/5 — Staying Informed

*2025-01-10*

I appreciate having articles that I can read at my discretion.  The information appears more fact based than ratings driven

### 5/5 — Best local morning news show Spokane

*2024-09-18*

Very informative and professional broadcast. Great team, my wife who is clothes conscious really likes the majority of outfits Channing wears, I think that’s part of the reason she watches.

### 5/5 — KREM 2 news

*2024-09-12, version 46.4.1*

KREM 2 weather and is the only local news I watch they are better covering our area (area Odessa )

### 5/5 — Fire Alerts

*2024-08-04, version 46.4.1*

Good fire  alerts and updates  in the area

### 5/5 — THE BEST TEAM EVER ❤️

*2024-06-06, version 46.2.1*

Hello 👋🏻 
I watch the 4:00 and 5:00 - 6.00 pm News.
It’s so thorough. They leave nothing out.
Thank You So Much.
Linda OHLMAN

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-05-14, version 46.2.1*

Enjoy keeping up on the news even when I’m not in the area. It’s very helpful. KREM 2 you’re the best 😎
