Every time I update this app I cringe because it gets a little worse each time. The live feed buffers every 10 minutes or so, and crashes two to three times an hour. I stream everything through a Roku, and don't have any problems with Nexflix, PSVue, etc... so it can't be on my end. KTVU really needs to find some competent app developers to represent their product.

I like this app because I live down in the Santa Cruz County area but I like to know what's going on up north and channel 2 has a much better news station than what we have. I like the fact that it notifies me on my phone whenever there's something important going on keeps me in touch

3 minutes of news and ten minutes of comercials. This used to be a really great app that ran good. Now you have to put up with pop-up ads. What's worse is the stories will now stay up for up to 4 days were they used to regularly update it. This is a news app it should be updated daily. Why are you guys trying so hard to ruin what used to be a wonderful application on top of it now when you go to watch the individual news stories they all start with commercials as well as the pop-up ad that is difficult to remove

Moved slightly out of the Bay Area last year and immediately missed my KTVU Mornings on 2 family that I grew up on. When I saw the KTVU app that helped immensely but it was missing one feature which I was hoping for in Chromecast (GoogleCast) but recently just got added! This makes life so much easier then having to try and connect my laptop or screen cast my phone. Thank you guy! You made my day!

This was a great app until the addition of a huge ad at the bottom that covers a majority of the stories. Did you guys test this out with reviewers before releasing it? It's a complete nuisance...

KTVU is my favorite news station, though I wish they would not repeat/run the same commercials so much show. The app. works great until your ready for every one to update I gues, then it seems to start hanging up and not linking up a lot. I've learned to just uninstall and redownload a fresh one with what I guess are the latest updates and it works great again. .
