KOMU News for Android
The banner ads hijack the app and open a blank white (except for the dinky unreadable banner) komu web page while you are reading the news on the Galaxy S5. Too annoying. Uninstalling.
When I open the app it just sits on a black screen that says "Loading.." in the top left corner. My wife couldn't even get the app to download onto her phone without errors. Useless. What did you guys do to this app? It used to work great, but now it's just crap.
Used to work fine for my iPhone 5. Changed to an android and all I see is a black screen with "loading" on it. Never manages to load anything, though, and will usually cause my phone to freeze up. **Update: I have it on my new android phone and I still have issues. It will load now but freezes constantly, even locking up my phone entirely!
I reintalled this app out of curiosity, and it works!!! Finally. This app worked beautifully... three times. Now, it locks up my Samsung S4 when I try to exit. Why can KMIZ & KRCG get it right, and you can't?
After the last update, it now locks up the app when viewing weather maps and you rotate the screen.
App keeps crashing. I just tried 3 times to read one article and was not able to finish it due to repeated crashes.
When the ads attempt to load, the open in a browser window and take control of the app instead of loading in the app
I agree with the others. Good and I want the Columbia news but it opens Chrome continuously. 8/27/2015, ceased functioning. Sets there and says loading.
Already unavailable.I just loaded it this morn.
Continues to replace articles with top ad banner. Too bad to use.
I'm uninstalling this app after loving it for over a year. Had an update a few months ago and it has been awful ever since. Opens up Chrome and never actually loads. Tired of waiting for the fix.
Since the most recent update you can't read any stories without a new window opening for an ad in the program. It will literally open a new window with an ad about every 30 seconds. It couldn't be any more frustrating. For that reason I will no longer use this app until something is resolved.
App is ok, only downfall is Chrome automatically opens up to some ad for KOMU.
Uninstalling...too annoying as it keeps launching browsers. Too bad, it's a good app
I don't get it. The developers must see all the people on here complaining about the same exact thing with the latest update: as soon as you try to read a story a useless ad forces it's way onto the screen via your internet browser. This happens about 5-6 times over the next few minutes. And the developers have to know about it. Yet they do absolutely nothing to fix it. What an embarrassment. I'm done with this dreadful app.
I love the app but I can't use it now because it pops up my browser to show me ads, even after I close the app on my Samsung Galaxy tablet. I have to kill it to stop. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Used to enjoy this app. However, the implementation of a pop-up ad that opens in Chrome has turned me off of it.
Browser pops up on it's own now since the update. Annoying! Keeps popping up while I am trying to read news. 12/23/14 Still popping up in Dec. You are not listening. I am uninstalling.
It makes my phone lag after the most recent update. It also pops up my browser on its own. I also would appreciate more Columbia news.
Annoying and repeated pop-up of chrome advertisment. Even happens after I close the app.
App opens web browser to ads. Impossible to read stories as a result.
New version sucks! Popup ads open a separate browser window, ad is squished at the top so they get no view. App crashing, story layout too wide on some.
Cannot read a story without a popup to the browser and then an error that it has stopped responding. Started after last upgrade. Please fix.
The last update is so glitchy, keeps popping up even after I've left the app. Please fix!
Keeps opening pop up browser
Always trying to open a browser when reading a story
Read article try to go to main page but force closes
Great but doesn't work again today. Don't know if site was hacked again or what.
Keeps opening browser window. Liked app before last update. Uninstalling.
I loved it, it worked so well and gave me the latest news!
The stories are not readable due to the fact that a new window keeps opening. After a few times it completely shuts the app down. I have to uninstall the app and then reinstall the app to get it to work.. Please fix the app...
Don't like the pop up browser
I have used this app for a long time, but the last update has made it unusable. It won't open most of the time, and when it does, it will freeze when you are trying to view the stories.
Thumbs up !! Good app !
Constantly wants to open a browser
Ads in app okay, but not when they access and open browser on their own.
Pop up adds lock up my phone. You can't even read a whole story. Started with the last updated. This app absolutely sucks now!
Last update broke a nice app
Pop ups constantly!!!!
