NewsChannel 13 KRDO.com for Android
I'm sick of all THAT "BS" FROM CNN, I CAN'T STAND ANY FAKE NEWS FROM THEM FIX IT OR WILL CHANGE TO KKTV?!?
So many alerts!! Then when you click them, they do not open or you end up on a story that you didn't select. Good luck reading the stories!! Sometimes they work, 90% of the time they don't. I have been waiting to see if they cared enough to fix the problem. So far, nothing. I am uninstalling this app and installing ANYTHING else. I have HAD IT!!!
Alerts come up in a timely manner, but most of the time they will not open to see the entire alert. The last update seemed to make it worse than before.
Does not work well. I'm poor and can't afford cable TV, so I try to use app to keep up with news. They have too many issues to work out because news links do not work!!!
Almost every time I click on a notification, it does not bring me to the story and I can't open the link showing the story. Very frustrating.
I look up the news regularly, so why not have the app?? Because it taunts you with an interesting partial headline, you click on the story, and you have to weed through and guess what category it might be under and then you find it... click on it... and it brings you right back to the category list! Completely frustrating.
Another zippy and usable app is the victim of some programmer's idea of better. Now useless and UNINSTALLED.
I really don't like the updated version. #1 I hate the pop up adds, very annoying. #2 the font is to small and the stories offer little info. #3 REALLY hate how the text weather forcast was taken away. I can't always listen to the forecast and feel like I'm missing out on what I should know. I'll be uninstalling, which makes me sad, because I've watched KRDO since I wad old enough to watch tv.
The new version is ok, nice layout, with exception of the pop ads. They are very annoying, coving the entire screen and are inappropriate. If this is not fixed soon I will be uninstalling this app.
Every time I get an alert, I click the alert and am either taken to a generic menu or am told the alert is no longer active. I search for the short alert and cannot find the story. Example alert: "El Paso County Sheriff's office issues stage..." I click the alert and there's no story. This happens every time. A short, incomplete alert like this with no further info is not useful.
I like receiving updates from krdo, but I can almost never read all of the alerts. It will cut off the message after the first few words and then 80 percent of the time that I click the alert to open the article it gives an error stating that it is no longer an active alert. I am running this on an android device (Samsung S7).
You can't click on the red alert or headline at the top to get more info. Also hard to find closures or delays. It is poorly designed.
The new layout is ok...but you can't just deliver the news? Had to throw pop up ads in there too?
I use to really like this app, I liked the Weather part of the old app a lot better. The text forecast in the old app is a lot more useful and does not disturb others around you and is more focused on Colorado Springs. The video is more of a general coverage. Thus, I have to lower my rating. The news part of the app is still good.
I would like to have a dark theme, all the white space is distracting.
App looks great but pop up ads anytime I click on anything in the app gets a 1 star from me.
Latest version no longer does live streaming. Doesn't give error message either. The latest version also isn't compatible with older versions of Android operating system. For a news organization, you should be making information available to as many as possible. Your competitors sure do.
I hate the pop up ads- I just want the news
An option to increase the size of the font used would be great.
Too many ads
The stories don't update, when I open the app all I get are 2 and 3 day old stories.
Can no longer watch live video after update
I liked the old white on black. Something diff than everyone else. Easier to read.
No updated stories for weeks. I will unstall...
I used to check news 3-4 times a day, but since the update, I barely look at it. Uninstalled the app, if it ever goes back to the previous lay out I'll reinstall.
I used to like this app, at least for the most part. But after seeing the exact same stories on there for a week I decided to remove it and reinstall it. Big mistake. Now it's totally different. There are lots of pop up ads and the story print is microscopic. I don't like the new layout. Bye bye, KRDO. I'm a native in this town so I know all your competition. Let's see if their apps are better.
Every app I have installed on my S4 Active I can expand the notice to see the whole notice. With this app I cannot expand the notice and have to open the app to see it. I suggest you enable that feature or whatever app code you need to write to make it expandable. Would make this app a lot better!
They need to either update the news on this app or give up. They are always a week behind. Here it's September 18 and all of the news stories on the app were posted on September 12. If this is the best that they can do then I will just delete the app.
Every time I click on a story's video it only plays an ad then freezes & does nothing. I hate that!! You guys really need to fix that!!
Not on top of keeping the app updated with current news. Too bad
Once I read a story I must scroll down thru all articles I have already read to the next article.
Great news information
Reports
Great app and updated often
Not bad. Informative.
Best out there
News on the go what more can I say really good for us that don't have the time to watch it when we need to extremely good not highly recommend if you're on the road a lot
This would be a great app if it didn't freeze up EVERY time I use it.
I love KRDO, thank goodness it has an app so I can close down the website on my browser!

The 7day forecast is old at least with the old app it showed the same 7day forecast that's shown on tv. Too many null notifications and too many ads. Change it back with those above mentioned things and I will change my rating and reinstall. I thought I would give this app another try and too many notifications go nowhere. I will be uninstalling and not using the app anymore.
