KIRO 7 News App- Seattle Area for Negative User Reviews
✓ AwfulThis is an example of how NOT to design a news app, their site is the same. Not designed as much as thrown together. It’s as if they hired a friend of a friend to put this together for experience instead of actually paying someone who knows what they are doing and has an eye for a good user interface and a professional looking app. Sponsored content is not clearly marked..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Review of mobile websiteI use the radar portion of the news app frequently on my iPad. With the updated news app, when I select weather-radar, the app frequently closes down — after several tries I usually am successful (after multiple app closures) in viewing the radar. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!.Version: 7.0.2
✓ Where is “Live”?When I open the Kiro app and ckick on “Live”, I hope to view a recent broadcast. Not so fast. What typically appears is a screen with”We’ll be right back”. OK, when? Rather wait for an unknown amount of time, I close out and seek another station. That said, why doesn’t Kiro have a loop feed from the most recent ‘live’ newscast? At least that would provide some information rather than a pointless screen..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Sends notifications on things I specifically turned offWhy do you send me Seahawks scoring notifications when I have notifications for all sports turned off? I record games and don’t want to see them!.Version: 7.6.1
✓ This app is awful!!The app is awful. It’s difficult to navigate and I’m honestly tired of having to watch a full 30 second ad before every story I watch. The other stations alternate or give you an option to skip the ad, why doesn’t Kiro do this. As a news consumer I feel like you are wasting my time in order to make a quick buck on some internet ad revenue. I’m going to King 5... bye bye Kiro 7!!!.Version: 7.5.0
✓ Completely non-functional and abandoned.Even on a brand new installation, for the past month or more, all this app does is display a message that the “App could not be started”. I would have used the “App Support” link before leaving a review, but App Support is a page reading “Sorry, the page you are looking for cannot be found.” If anyone is actually paying attention to this app or its users, please note: it’s very broken..Version: 8.1.0
✓ App is clunky and glitchyThe app has issues when you try to turn the phone 90 degrees to get a full screen. Also, the fact if you have to turn away for even a few seconds to answer a text, your forced to go through the same stupid 30 second ad before the stream starts again. FRUSTRATING!.Version: 8.7.5
✓ Videos are annoyingFirst, I resent having videos begin playing unprompted and having to scramble to figure out how to make them go away. I use the app to READ news, not watch/listen. It’s annoying when I’m a room with other family members or when people are trying to sleep. Second, could you please add a swipe left to exit the article? I shouldn’t need to X out every time. Third, the app should be viewable in landscape mode. This app needs some serious work..Version: 8.8.3
✓ Good local news contents, terrible video experienceThis is the only app I have (I have many dozens, to the amusement of my wife) where I routinely end up with several videos playing at the same time because of unwanted automatic play - this should never happen, and it should not even be possible. I also have to wait for the long ads to finish before I can change the orientation from mouse movie size portrait to full screen landscape, and even that requires a tap instead of just working in response to holding the phone sideways. The video experience destroys the overall experience, sorry..Version: 8.8.1
✓ Kiro 7 newsReally enjoy checking out the news here. The only complaint I have is it takes a long time before they change some stories. Same stories for days.Version: 5.5.4
✓ SadUnfortunately all you get with this app are commercials about how well they all know the area! 10 minutes of that then. “ we will be right back”. Maybe 2 minutes of news then back to commercial and we’ll be right back! I never watched other local news but have to look for something else now!.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Live streaming links don’t workI still don’t know how to live stream. I click the live stream button, it takes me through several commercials, starts a previously recorded afternoon broadcast, goes to commercial again and plays it non-stop I have to click ‘live’ repeatedly before it finally starts playing, Mossi g about 4-5 minutes of news. Please fix this..Version: 8.5.2
✓ Been waiting for a major updateThis app is archaic. The developer needs to listen to its users. You can’t zoom in of pictures to look at detail better. Why mention anything in your news if you can’t look at what you are talking about? To the developer, do your research and take ideas from other apps and their abilities..Version: 5.6
✓ Incomplete News StoriesIt seems the news stories posted are not complete. When reading them they have very little information and end abruptly... more like an expanded headline than an actual article. Please post complete articles and not condensed versions to the app..Version: 8.3.3
✓ Atrocious app and websiteQuite honestly one of the worst it was cancerous ways I’ve ever seen to run an application and or a website. Links don’t even go to themselves. It’s nothing but a toxic waste island of Clickbait and ads. Or whoever made this website or decided to make it this way is one of the worst human beings in existence of all humans don’t ever download this app or go to this website because it is the worst in the history of the Internet..Version: 8.8.3
✓ Cry babiesMy biggest complaint is about the constant “Breaking News, call Dish and DEMAND that they bring back KIRO”. This is just pathetic. If Dish dropped you, they dropped you. Get over it. It shows your poor judgment when you constantly use this ad in the middle of stories. It is just ridiculous to also use the ad as the main “Breaking News” story. There are more important stories than you..Version: 8.7.4
✓ Boomer appSeverely outdated, videos won’t load after full 30 second ads, numerous article editing errors (titles, misspellings, incomplete sentences, high school-level errors). No links within article body for reference or further reading, pictures are usually stock photos and not of article content. Good thing it’s free..Version: 6.7.0
✓ NotificationsMany times when I get notifications on my phone of a particular story I click on the notification expecting to be directly taken to that story, it doesn’t work and I end up on the main page. I’m not intimidated searching for it.Version: 8.7
✓ Great for Local News, Horrible AppWhoever thought it was a good idea to randomly start blaring videos while using this app needs to be fired. The app is essentially unusable in many settings unless you make sure your speaker volume is off. I’m not sure why it’s so hard to make a good local news app, but I suppose their budget is stretched thin. It’s not just KIRO..Version: 8.8.2
✓ Where did it go?Often I will click on a breaking news banner then to not be able to find it on the app. Very annoying..Version: 8.8.5
✓ Forced to watch video when I want is to read storyReworked app forces you to watch video of story before you can read the text of the story. Often, I just want to read the story not see a reporter reciting the story. The latest rework of the iPad version of the app will not let you just read. I liked the old version of the app much better..Version: 8.6.5
✓ TerribleThis app is beyond bad. It crashes frequently, pulls up the wrong article from the the headline notification banner, and freezes up constantly. When you see a notification banner about a breaking news story and try to open, it goes to a blank a blank screen and sits there thinking about it indefinitely. Ive deleted it twice, then downloaded it a third time hoping things were fixed but they’re not. I’m deleting it again permanently. Don’t waste your time with this. WORST APP EVER!!!.Version: 8.0.0
✓ Could be betterThis use to be my ‘go to’ local news app. But it seems they take the weekends off because news is rarely updated. And most of the time the Ads are the only thing loading.Version: 8.4.01
✓ Fonts are too small to readSomething has changed on this app. The fonts have gotten very small. I have tried to adjust them but have not been successful. Also there frequently is not much new or updated news on this app. Make the text much bigger or at least adjustable and add more content and I will once again enjoy following the news on KIRO..Version: 7.6.1
✓ Latest version will not auto rotate from landscape to portrait like earlier versions.Your current app requires the user to constantly rotate their device, rather than having your app written in a way that would auto do it. Your older versions dead, and most other news outlets still do. This will mean for me, I will use you as a last resort..Version: 8.7
✓ Last Software Update: THUMBS DOWNThey took away the “back” button.....now you have to hit the Home button to go back after reading an article, then navigate back to where ever you were at. Q13 here I come.Version: 8.7.2
✓ Using this app leaves you wondering if it’s news or hypeSo among the news stories I found human interest stories of the house actors live in. Several of these actresses have been dead for over a year. So this tells me they don’t care about accuracy or truth..Version: 8.6
✓ App Keeps Crashing in Late 2021What a drag. I’ve used this app for several years perfectly satisfied, but the last 2-3 months, it keeps crashing. It crashes even after i reload it from the APP store. It crashes on my phone and on my iPad. Guess I’ll have to switch to a competitor’s app, sorry!.Version: 8.4.4
✓ Used to be great… Used to.Used to be great, but then auto scrolling issues and now with the latest update, when I click on a notification it opens it up for a split second and then goes to the home page of the app. Then the story I had clicked to open is NOWHERE to be found in the app. It happens EVERY time. Deleted the app and reinstalled but it didn’t help at all. Now completely useless..Version: 8.8.2
✓ Won’t launch after 8.4.4 updateWeather section is great. News is poorly written often leaving out basics that are important to the story. With latest upgrade, app won’t launch on my old iPhone 6..Version: 8.4.4
✓ Has lost a lot of it’s usefulnessI rarely use this app anymore because the video constantly overlaps the content, even after the ads have finished. It’s hard to read a story 1/4” at a time, which is about the space between the video overlay and the ad at the bottom of the screen..Version: 8.5.2
✓ This app is an insult.I just got a notification on my watch, that if I change my name legally to Subway, I could win sandwiches for life. This was such important braking news for KIRO news to send me, it had to be sent to my watch! You are a bunch of clowns and an insult to the entire Pacific Northwest. I can’t believe you would abuse your viewers trust, for a crappy advertisement. App deleted, I will never use it again, now watching channel 13, 5, 4, or just PBS for my news!.Version: 8.7.7
✓ FrustratingWhen I click on a notification for news, I have to sit through ads. Often cannot even find articles on alerts I click on..Version: 8.4.01
