KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco: News for Negative User Reviews

✓ App has been the worst for yearsThis app has been the worst for years. 5 stars for the notifications, 0 stars for the rest of the app. Before-the notifications would open the app, just to open a web page; lately, it’s not even doing that. Lately, I get a notification, and it just opens the home page of the app, with a piece related to the notification nowhere to be found! Previous review: Receive Push Notification, Select Notification, App opens, App then opens web browser ...this is the KTVU News app! Terrible-yeah, I know!! If you like how this works, then you're in the right place. Else, keep searching for a proper news app!.IgobythisnameVersion: 5.26.0

✓ Your appsMy wife and I both are a big fan of channel 2 news. We have you every morning, but for the last couple months. The apps keep buffing for lags and most of out time this apps drain out phone batteries. We can start with 100% and after 15 minutes our batteries down to 20%. We tried to delete the apps and redownload again, but still happened again. I also use my work WiFi and it’s still slow. Our friends have the same experience.TomlindaVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ No link to articles from notifications AND no search bar???Links only to open app with all current articles. However, one article I was interested in reading led me to tap on the notification, which opened the app and did not load up the particular story I wanted to see read. Nor did I find the article listed anywhere on the home page. So, I tried to sea- wait! THERE IS NO SEARCH BAR in the app anywhere. 🤦🏾‍♀️ You may as well delete the app and use the website on your phone browser..StephspowsVersion: 5.25.0

✓ Needs option to disable video auto play settingsI do not want embedded videos to auto play with sound, especially since the ads before the videos are so loud. I would appreciate it if there was a way to set the app so that videos are muted and with no auto play. IF, and only if, I’m in a place where it’s convenient and won’t disturb/wake those around me, then I’ll choose to start a video and unmute it. In that order. One star for the lack of video playback options. Three stars for advertising and sponsored content. Five stars for journalism..J L D 1 3Version: 5.15.0

✓ Tired of the BiasI am deleting The KTVU app from my phone and iPad and am no longer watching it on TV. I am sick and tired of the bias in mainstream media and very disappointed with this network particularly. The only exception is Steve Paulson, however, and will miss his smiling face. I used to watch KTVU because of their local Bay Area coverage, but have been increasingly frustrated with the attacks on President Trump and obvious bias towards the Democrat party. Would be nice to get a network that has no bias but that seems to be impossible these days. This latest article about Trump was the final straw! The bias is so obvious it’s almost laughable! It is also criminal how so called news stations withhold reporting events that don’t fit their progressive agenda. Goodbye KTVU. I’ve watched you for almost my entire life..CindyisfedupVersion: 5.17.0

✓ Crashes and freezes constantlyThe live stream is not reliable. I have to close and reopen the app at least once every couple minutes. Some days are better than others. I have great WiFi, an updated new ipad that doesn’t have streaming problems with anything else. If the live stream worked like it should then I would have given it 5 stars. Also, the weather doesn’t seem to be very accurate. I use the weather underground app, it’s fantastic and very accurate. KTVU please fix your app!..yfytdfliuhdVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ Fox is now in chargeI used to count on KTVU news as my go-to source for local and national news. They were the best in the Bay Area. Over the past two or three years, I’ve noticed the station slowly lose it’s edge and now KTVU has lost it’s balanced reporting and is losing me. The equal, fair treatment all stories used to have has been gradually replaced by a spin towards supporting a conservative agenda. It’s sad to see and is difficult to find a replacement for the news feed I’ve counted on for decades but the stories are no longer balanced and story selection is biased. KTVU has lost it’s relevance in news reporting and I don’t tune in or log in for entertainment, I do so looking for news. I’ll miss you for the station you used to be..Freediver;-)Version: 5.13

✓ Good news & bad newsI like KTVU Fox 2 news, that's why I chose this news app. While I very much enjoy watching the 10 o'clock news every night and Mornings on 2 every morning and really like the news teams, I don't enjoy the app as much. It's not updated very often. A story of a fire posted as "breaking news" for 24 hours? I don't think so. I can find more up to date news on NBC Bay Area news app. But I think of myself as a loyal Fox 2 news viewer. So here I am. I just wish I wasn't stuck reading yesterday's news..JoeMtnViewVersion: 4.3.3800

✓ Decent app, but power drainerBeen using this app for a while. Good source of news, but not enough variety so only worth opening once or twice at most per day. Not a biggie. The big gripe for me is that it is a big power drain. It's constantly at the top of my battery use culprits when using the live video, even though I only use it for 5 minutes a day in the morning..DkziggyVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ Notifications don't open in the appHi, this is a very annoying issue that's been going for a long time. Every time I get a notification from the app, I click on the notification expecting to read the story in the app, but instead it opens the app and then it opens my browser with the story. If the app won't open the story, then why launch the app at all? UPDATE: It's been months since I wrote this review and the notifications still won't open in the app. Very annoying..Scorpion_RickyVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ Great app... when it worksKTVU is my favorite local news station. When I cancelled my TV subscription I decided to use this app instead. This was about 4 months ago. When this app is working it is great; same as if still was watching on TV. However the app often seems to crash/freeze up or not be available. So a bit frustrating. So I have two other news apps downloaded for backup alternatives. That said this is again my preferred channel. So hoping they can fix the app issues..EmmeNoisVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ Uses weird video player, breaks PiP on iPadLove KTVU news - but why replace the Apple video player with a different player that does *not* support iPad Picture-in-Picture. Used to be so handy to keep the news running in a window overlaid on another app, now that is impossible. You get either news or another app, not both. Why break this, which was working fine until it was changed a few months back? Please bring back the standard Apple video player, which Apple designed to work with PinP. Why remove useful functionality?.TopsailbeachVersion: 5.15.0

✓ Notifications don’t take you to the storyYou receive a notification for a story and when you tap the notification it doesn’t take you to the story. In the past you could scroll through and find the story, but as of late the story doesn’t exist anywhere on the app. It’s starting to feel like click bait to bring you into the app... catchy headline, nothing to see but maybe you’ll find a different story. Don’t send a notification for a story that doesn’t exist..Ferrari2k2Version: 5.23.0

✓ Good, but frustratingI often receive a notification about a story that I am interested in. When I click on the notification, it doesn’t take me to the story (either a different story or the main page). Sometimes I can then find the story, but often times I cannot. What’s the point of sending me a headline if there is no corresponding article? Otherwise I like the app..PurpledaniVersion: 5.10.0

✓ Great news station, frustrating appI really Like this news station. This app drives me crazy though. The alerts do not often connect me to the story when I open them. It opens Safari, and usually to a blank page. I hate Safari, and use Chrome. I would very much prefer to have the alerts open to the story in the app. I would also like the alerts to open the correct story..Seorsa10Version: 4.3.4200

✓ Good start but needs workI like the app but a lot times you get an alert, click on it and it opens in Safari where it sits loading forever. If you close out cause you think your hung up then try to go back there's no way to get back to the alert. I'd wish the app handled everything without opening Safari and that you had a way to see your alerts again in case there was a hiccup. Also the add that's at the bottom and expands out couple of minutes is annoying as hell..LuvvygirlVersion: 4.3.4200

✓ KTVU appI like this app with its news feeds coming across the front page of my phone. My only complaint is if I want to read an article in the ticker, if I don’t swipe it correctly, or my phone reads my thumb print and opens the phone before I even have a chance to see what it was, then I can go back to it, or what really makes me unhappy, is that if I open the app to find the article it’s not even there. Kinda lame..Hyside76Version: 4.3.4200

✓ Good, but notifications are annoyingIn general, I prefer KTVU news, and so I like also having the app for up-to-date stories. But the push notifications are getting out of hand. There were 15 sent yesterday, and so far today (it’s now 10:27am) there have been 7 starting at 5am. That’s ridiculous. This app is becoming the stalker x-boyfriend blowing up my phone like that. Yes, I know I can turn off the notifications, but don’t want them gone completely..DreasmomVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ Steve / women newscastersIs he ok? He’s been gone an awful lot and I enjoy his weather forecasts. I hope all is well. Also your women newscasters really need to put a bit more into their appearances. A little disheveled like they put no effort into looking professional. A bit of makeup and hair goes a long way. The weather girls look great. Just my opinion. I’ve been watching you guys for over 30 years and have noticed the women are looking like they just woke up for the past few years. Specifically Pam and Gasia. Thanks Janelle.JgymloverVersion: 5.41.0

✓ Love KTVU. Hate this app.I’m a Bay Area native and grew up with KTVU news in my house since I was first conscious. I still prefer their newscast to the others. It’s disappointing that this app is so continually buggy and awkward, despite updates. One of my biggest pet peeves regarding the app is when I respond to a notification, first it opens the KTVU News app, but then just as quickly launches Safari to display the story instead. Lame. I’ve provided feedback about this with ktvu and still it remains an issue. Also, so often the main page just freezes and selecting stories does no good. The act of quit swiping the app closed and then reopening only sometimes helps but otherwise it’s just S.O.L. Strange that such a great channel and news organization would have such a sub-par app..HorthaVersion: 4.3.4200

✓ Ads? Really?Just got the update on the app. Great app. Been using it for all my Bay Area news….. but they just added ads. I have a VPN and of course none of the videos work now. I temporarily removed my vpn to see if it was that, and low and behold, ads! It wont play the videos unless i see ads. Great way to lose a user. As if we weren’t bombarded enough already with ads no one cares about. Please go back to your old ways. With zero ads!.DSACKVersion: 5.43.0

✓ Live streaming failuresIn the last week, live streaming has become unusable, regardless of the device used. Play will stop after at most 30 seconds, requiring a restart. Many times that interval is 10 seconds or less. Also have noticed much more “choppiness” of the feed, with play stopping, then restarting after a second, sometimes with what amounts to a replay of the feed just before the stop. This has been my go-to app for news for some time, and it would be great to be able to use it again..CaptSatComVersion: 4.3.4500

✓ Service awefulWhen this App first came out it was fantastic. I loved that they repeated the broadcast so I could rewatch what I missed. This is my only way to keep up to date on what is going on. Now got the past 9mp this or so I keep getting ‘server errors’. I have contacted the IT dept and received a call back, but nothing has been resolved. I can’t watch for more than 2 minutes before the error shows up. It’s frustrating. They also play the same commercial sometimes 5 times in a row, when the app actually works. I do NOT recommend this app until Fox gets their act together and fixes this issue!.DragguVersion: 5.15.0
