Houston News from KHOU 11 for Negative User Reviews

✓ DeletedThis new app is horrible. Not intuitive at all, had to just tap and swipe everywhere to find what I wanted. And back takes you all the way back to home page. This is so much worse than previous version. Shuts itself off constantly, but the old one did as well, so good job with keeping that feature in new version. Tap on headline to read, blank screen comes up. “Headline” news is days old, do you ever update it? I give one star for the ability to select the topics you want. But where is my Weird News?!?!.Txlady223456Version: 41.4.3

✓ Love the appI love the app but I don’t like the fact that it keeps crashing and majority of the time, if I press play on a video, it will restart several times before it plays. Also way too many commercials. I’m pretty sure they are paid sponsors but too many commercials before we can access the actual story..FirefighterTillDeathVersion: 42.12.20

✓ More interesting in ad money than helping peopleI use this app to get essential information about weather and local happenings. Every time I open it to get a weather forecast I have to watch a 15 second ad despite the numerous ads on the sides and top. The 15 second ad often causes me to miss the forecast or other information that can’t be replayed. If channel 11 is hurting for money this bad maybe they should look at a telethon to save their station or make cut backs and restructure their debt. You only get 1 star because your app is lacking..ChickenliteVersion: 42.10.17

✓ Breaking News!! - But first 30 seconds of an inane game adThe app is okay, but if we are receiving notifications of important “breaking news” the idea of putting a game ad, or any ad for that matter first smacks of hypocrisy. How important is this “news” if you place it after a mindless game ad? Be a news app and make the click bait optional at the bottom of the screen. If you love the endless repetition of a mindless game app ad- you will love this app! If you close it or click away, rest assured, the ad restarts every single time..Devoted ChronfanVersion: 42.9.18

✓ MehI’ve tried all the local news apps and this one is lacking in start up, display, and stories featured. A lot of the news is recycled. Would prefer more local interest items including events, maps with incidents, and a “feel good” section that is refreshed every week instead of once a month..Houston TransferVersion: 43.5.21

✓ It could be betterI have used this app for almost 2 years now. It’s gotten better but still needs work. It crashes too much. And I would like to see faster updates to the news. I go into the site and it’s the same news from yesterday. The weather especially needs to be updated faster..TxsGypsyVersion: 43.8.21

✓ Would happily pay for an ad free versionThe forced ads are getting outrageous. I love the push notifications that alert to breaking stories but I get highly annoyed when up pops a 30 second add for some silly video game that I cannot skip though. Even worse, if I push though it to see the news story, when I go to the next news story up comes another ad (sometimes shorter, sometimes the same exact silly game ad). Please please please offer an ad free version of this app!!.HornauerVersion: 43.2.41

✓ Love the App, Hate the Flood or Annoying Ads!It’s a catch-22 to open the app daily or not to open! Am beginning to avoid the app just because I don’t want to deal with the multitude of Ads. Also feel that the Temu ads are a scam for good merchandise at a good price. The items are low quality, shipping & returns from China are not customer friendly, return policies are so bad most people just put low quality items in trash. The pictures are deceiving and not of actual clothes sold. Please vet items before allowing these type companies to advertise on the ultra high integrity of KHOU11 site..Chizer GirlVersion: 45.20.1

✓ No!!!!!!!I normally don’t mind upgrades because it means there are new features and improvements. This is NOT the case for the new app. It keeps closing out on me, it’s difficult to navigate (I agree with another commenter the picture layout was much easier) and it’s just messy all the way. I’m going to keep in on my phone to see if it improves, but because there is a current weather event I’m going to upload channel 2’s weather app... bummer deal guys..AbstractblackbirdVersion: 41.1.2

✓ Background hungry & needs improvement!The KHOU 11 app is one of the background hungry app I’ve seen. The app continues to run in background after I turn off background app refresh. This needs to fix ASAP!!! Also, the app needs better optimization with latest version of iOS. The app lacks of better organization inside of the app like split the categories from Home tabs into separate tabs like traffic, live news, local area news & etc... Also, the welcome animation is pretty slow..So97MVersion: 42.7.31

✓ New format disappointingNew format is a struggle to find anything! Now you aren’t just wading through ads but multiple posts of the same story. Heavy on videos, light on print - links often take you to another station and you are suddenly seeing/reading some other state’s news. Disappointing.CmmmmmcVersion: 44.0.52

✓ Too many ads when watching the news videoThere are too many ads every time I watch a video even when I change the orientation of the video It wants to replay the ad many of the ads have nothing to do with Khou or Houston these are all app related ads for gambling or social media. Please help us in watching news really to our area without going to the annoying 30 second ads. if you change you the video orientation or if you actually get out of the video and come back and you have to rewatch another ad. Also a good choice would be to have if I missed a news report such as a 4 PM 6 PM to 10 PM then the app should give me at least 24 hours to watch the latest news report..Muhammad MuizzVersion: 42.13.38

✓ SignalThe signal comes and goes out on a regular time,the weather makes little difference....all of the other channels come great all of the time!we have moved the antenna all around around trying to improve watching .Question.... do you plan to set a new antenna out west with all of the other channels? I have point to have put to all your watchers. Social Security people need to know. If you retire and do not take part “B”.when you start part “A” .......when you decide to include part”B”.......YOU WILL BE FINDE 10PERCENT PER YEAR!!!!!!as they say NO EXCUSES! I am a vet and the VA takes care of me But when I Applied for part B (9years later my. Fine was 90percent Added to the amount making it 190 percent...Does this seems Right??????????

✓ New app is no goodOld app needed improvement but was much better then this version. In this update it is hard to find anything, slower to load, more ads, and less space to actually read news. The orange bar at the top is huge, plus there is a an ad underneath that bar then a huge black semi-transparent bar at the bottom. All together that clutter takes up over half my screen so even when I do find something it’s hard to read it. Will be moving to new local news app shortly..Thomas tshirtVersion: 41.1.2

✓ Not user friendlyI can’t find things that the news reporters say that I should be able to find. No instructions & no direction. Just like a job I used to have. LOL Please think of the technology less advanced before updates. Give ritual or quick access, realizing everyone comes to the website for different information..MsLKBVersion: 42.7.31

✓ App is so horrible nowI hate the app now! I used to love channel 11’s app and use it all the time. Now it’s a waste of time because it’s so hard to navigate. I hate it especially for my parents who are senior citizens; it’s hard for them to tell what is a news story and what is an ad! They get lost on random sites and it really irks me!!! It has become an unreliable app especially as a new source if it’s going to take you to unreliable places and unnecessary places if you click a link. Tonight even while at my parents house they were under a tornado warning that came across via a channel 11 notification for their area and you couldn’t find anything on the app about it and you couldn’t get to any news story without watching at least 30 seconds of ads first. If this had been an actual emergency for them they would’ve lost their lives trying to find out more info from their “ trusted news source”. Speaking of ads they’re everywhere and that’s a problem! If you go in looking for specific news story you can’t find it anywhere and you just get stuck looking for what they want you to look at and I am so exhaustingly tired of the crap. Not only do you have to watch ADS (crap) to get to a story but you have to continuously scroll past visual ADS to continue a story you’re reading. IMO the app is worthless as a news source. KHOU should be ashamed..Cadd1122Version: 43.3.17

✓ Too many notificationsI only got this app for weather updates. The only notifications I have turned on in the settings are the weather updates, yet, I still get notifications for every little thing. It’s overwhelming. I’ll just got back to checking the website version of KHOU 11 for my weather updates..TklafleurVersion: 45.1
