Worst app ever. Stories never show up nothing works correctly. You click a push notifications and nothing every displays correctly. Use wowt app they are 100 times better
Love the station, hate the app. First, when I used to get traffic updates, nothing was there when I clicked on them. Then got a new phone last week and app doesn't work at all. Kicks me off with "app has stopped...restart or report" within seconds of launching...every time. Bummed
Its good
JUST LIKE THE LIVE TV THIS APP IS WORKING PEEFECTLY
I keep getting links to the wrong pages when I click on the news alerts. It's so hard to find the story, especially the traffic accident stories, when that happens. Other than that I like the app. Oh except for the long commercials and ads before every single video. I don't really watch them anymore if I can help it. 20 seconds or so, ok I'll wait for that, but 2 min ads, no. I'll just read the story or scroll past. That's turns 10 min of quickly reading the news into a half hour. Nope! :) And a lot of the time I am somewhere where I can't play the sound so it'd be nice to be able to read the stories when I can't watch the video, but a lot don't have the written stories. Oh and the SAME ads playing over and over again! Ugh! So obnoxious. Can't you at least get different commercials??
This is one of the most hard to read news apps I have used. I like their station, especially weather team, but stories just jump around, many don't include the ability to read the article. Many stories your have to watch 30-90 sec commercials, and if you try to re watch again, your have to go through more commercials. Local and national stories aren't usually labeled as much, so you are filmed into thinking an article happened here, just to find out it was somewhere else across the country. Since we are a more boring, quiet state, they like to put the big, exciting stories from out of state up top, to get readers, and commercial views for advertising. Just give me my news organized, easy to find, and read. Cut back some on the repetitive commercials. People's attention span is about 10sec, so many probably won't even make it to the end of this review. WowTv channel 6 app is much easier to use, and all articles include the reading material as well, not just video.
A news update/alert pops up in the task bar, I click on it to read more, and the story/alert is not on the app. This app is slow and stupid.
great app great station 5 stars
It's nice
I use to love this app but the way it is now it is very hard to find stories, it would be nice to search for a news story, and to actually put all of the stories you talk about on your news show on the app would be nice too. I'm uninstalling this app as I've tried for a long time to get use to it this way and I HATE it.
Annoying 30 second ads before any 20 second video clips also. Sometimes same ad plays before every video. Very annoying app. Very soon I will uninstall if this doesn't change.
Not a sports fanatic and this year they have started pushing out sports updates. They said "it is on the map" for getting push options." Will believe it when I see it.
useful but would be nice if the app went to the top of the news feed when I reopen the app
Worked better before these updates! Can't watch videos!
Now there seems to be a delay, and the ad that pops up is obnoxious and on a time-delay so you end up clicking on it when you're trying to click on a story. Happens on the website too, I may have to look for a different source for local news.
Really enjoyed using the previous app. When I open to a breaking news story it will not even appear. The radar is horrible.
I receive timely important local and national news and weather alerts and updates. A very good app.
It's a pretty good app, when it works. Half the time I open it to 'data unavailable', I am at home using wifi.... no excuse. And it is a common occurrence.
It sucks down my battery even when I'm not using the app. Uninstalling now.
It Is about the news
I don't watch the news,so this is a great way for me to know when it happens , i work in a conveniences store so it is so nice to get alerts on robberies right away so it help with extra safety ,very greatful for this app.thank you
I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about ditching this app. I had to watch EIGHT commercials before the app would actually connect to the (in progress) news!! (The news started mid sentence.) Then, I accidentally bumped the screen & was forced to endure MORE commercials! I'm going to check out the other local networks & see how their commercial to news ratio compares. Need to add that when the actual news DOES take a commercial break...there were TWO commercials (NOT eight!).
Works great, best news all ways. I would recommend this for everyone. And I think "J " has mental issues.
Can't believe how much money was wasted on this app all I see is commercials then it freezes defiantly unistalling
Easy to use!!
Top news&weather station
Great app.
Stinks. I receive an alert, open the notification and it says data unavailable. Go to the app click on say for instance local news - says the same thing. Information is only available part of the time.
I get alerts constantly thru the day so i am always the 1st to know when something is going down, especially weather-wise. I love the color scheme, the notifications always have a link, such a great app. 10/10 you won't regret the download.
You should have taken all the time and money you put into the Burlington station and put it into something that be use like you app. All the videos freeze and the layout is horrible.
At the top it works say severe weather alerts but when you go to it it doesn't tell you anything other than the temperature and current conditions ( rain, t-storm... Etc) I have to go to the actual website just to get the detailed forecast for the week
I love having the KETV app. I lived all over the world while serving in the Air Force, and was able to keep up with local news from back home any time I wanted/needed.
I don't watch the news,so this is a great way for me to know when it happens , i work in a conveniences store so it is so nice to get alerts on robberies right away so it help with extra safety ,very greatful for this app.thank you
Update: HATE the update. Not user friendly at all!!! My interactive radar NEVER works!!!
Would be nicer if the app rotated horizontally. Also videos do not play if ad blocker is installed.
Too convoluted to navigate and app is too browser dependent on many articles.

Use every day and very useful but please add support for Samsung Galaxy 8 Full Screen. It has a different ratio than most android 16:9 aspects and will make the app appear stretched.
