What are users saying about KATU News Mobile

N70%

It's hard to read the articles when a refresh (automatic as you scroll down) adds new ones in between ones you've already seen. This also makes it nearly impossible to view the articles near the end of the list as getting to them causes a refresh which pushes them out of the window, making you scroll down, causing a refresh, and over and over again. It wasn't like this before the latest update.

Headline covers the accompanying photo after clicking the story link. I find this to be infuriating.

KATU app. It takes over 1 minute to bring it up and then maybe in that time or longer. Please redo your app so we can enjoy what I can see on tv

Every time I tried to watch a video it crashed, maybe they should hire somebody competent to design the app. No other option than to uninstall it Nexus 6P running Android Nougat.

Worst news app. Slow to load and articles are full of odd characters instead of words. No response from tech.

App stops within 2 seconds of opening it. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it to no avail. I hope the bugs get resolved soon! *8/8/16 update: Just reinstalled it and so far so good! I'm hoping the "bugs" are fixed!

Multiple parts of this app will randomly shut down and reload itself when you're in the middle of reading something. The live view just tries to open and then closes. Never actually opens and works. Bummer

Possibly the slowest app to load that I've ever experienced. And that's on a new Samsung S7 Edge. Uninstalled. Do any local news have a working app? I just don't get it.

Every time I scroll down the playlist, it hiccups and starts back at the top of the list. Also, when I tried to view a gallery of pictures (astronaut Kelley's), it wouldn't open.

Frustrating, sometime the news just says updating, over and over. Can't use the app when this happens and it happens a lot. Learned not to depend on viewing news with this app. Update: it is obvious they don't care about the issues we are having. I am Uninstalling for good!

X70%
by X####:

This app was clearly designed in the Android 1.x days. The UI is awful, and does not scale for higher resolution displays. Beyond that, it's butt-ugly and unintuitive. When the other stations have apps that are more up to date and work so much better, there is no reason to download this crApp.

An app designed to keep informed about the news shouldn't be forcing permissions that allow it to listen in on my life via microphone.

Every time I open a story to read it, the app shuts down. So very frustrating. Also, people at KATU need to learn how to edit. Worthless app. HTC EVO 4G

I love the way this app is set up and use it regularly, but it keeps auto stopping and reloading in the middle of being read. Not to mention all of the typos and incomplete stories. Do you people just not care? Getting ready to uninstall for good!
