News On 6 for Negative User Reviews
✓ Weather alerts are pretty good... news are junkThe weather alerts are very timely and helpful and actually serve a purpose where as the news alerts most the time open the app to a news story that’s not there. The alert itself will say tune in for more or take you to nothing. That’s also after you exit the commercial page that pops up every single time you open the app. I’m sure you don’t make enough off your advertisements on TV to need this incredible revenue generating add that pops up anytime you open the app and prevent you from seeing anything until you close it. The overall layout is not very good either and really lacks creativity..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ WhyFirst I would say the content is very good. But why do I have to watch videos that advertise for news on six before I see the story video. If I'm on your app don't you think I'm already a consumer. If you can't sell the advertising space then just don't have any advertising video. You don't have to sell to someone that's already buying your product. Another annoying thing is the ad that comes up every single time you go back to the app. This is usually for a car dealership. With all that said, this is the first app I've ever given a review for. So I must wanted to improve because I use it so much..Version: 3.3.3800
✓ AsNotifications are great. But when a news notification flashes up on your phone and you click on it, it takes you to the news page and you have to search FOREVER, looking for the article. If you’re going to post the notification, fix it to where when you click on that particular event it takes you directly to that event. Frustrating!!!!!!.Version: 3.3.4600
✓ So-soThe ads that pop up and cover the entire screen are annoying. The sports section is hardly ever updated. The 7-day weather forecast is rarely the same as the one on their website (especially precipitation chances) so who’s to know if it’s accurate. The news stories are usually helpful and videos too, when they’re available..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ Notification nightmareNot only does News on 6 send an endless amount of notifications that spam up my notification bar ( I know I can control them) but the real kicker is that even when you click the notification, 99% of the time you are directed to an advertisement to watch and when it ends, there’s no content relating to the story the notification alerted you too. Kinda painful to use unless I’m mindlessly browsing news stories..Version: 5.0
✓ DisappointedI understand that you are an advertisement company. I get that you're business is in selling ads. But if you choose to get your viewers because you have the best weather team around you should at least let us watch them first when there is a tornado on the ground. You app always makes me view a perfectly loaded 15 sec commercial before I can watch the never able to load "continuous weather coverage " that when it buffers starts with another perfectly loaded ad. Feel free to keep making me watch the ad when I click on all of your stories but please drop the ad and figure out why the live coverage won't load when my power goes out and my phone is all I have while I am sitting in my storm shelter wondering what is going on..Version: 3.3.3800
✓ Pretty Good News AppFor the most part I find this helpful since I typically don’t have time to watch the news broadcasts. However, there are instances where I’m unable to find an article despite receiving a push alert. These aren’t that common and perhaps they’re due to things that are difficult to control all the time. I’d still recommend it but with that caveat..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ Far too many adsThis is actually the best news app. Some days it’s updated once an hour. Why two stars? Two reasons: a guy gets murdered in Tulsa and this channel sends a reporter to jail to interview the murderer. That’s not news. It’s sensationalism at its worst, and you should be ashamed of yourselves using the degree you’ve worked so hard for to use it in this way. It’s the opposite of journalism. And second, the ads are wholly intrusive. You can’t swipe more than a few stories before you’re met with more ads..Version: 3.3.4201
✓ NotificationsI used to love this app but now it is getting annoying with the notifications. I want to be notified about big breaking news stories but I don’t need a mini-ad for every story you are covering. I counted 30+ notifications yesterday! So now I have tuned them off. You need to offer notifications in different categories..Version: 3.3.4201
✓ Has become unusable due to adsI often close the app after only several seconds because I’m getting more ad content than news. An add when the app opens, a pop-up full screen ad when a story is opened, a half screen video ad starts while reading a story. I understand that ads are necessary, but they’ve really taken over a previously useful app. I shouldn’t have to close three ads to access one news report..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ Too many ads not enough newsI realize advertising is part of today's world, but your app has be taken over by them. Clickbait, pop ups in the middle of reading, and the original version of this app was far superior to you most recent upgrade. I am out, no more "no news on 6" for me, unless this is fixed. Also, the new slogan, "on the scene, on the story" is way to cheesy and just plain annoying. Let your reporter focus on the story instead of memorizing a worthless slogan..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ Too many notifications!I want to see traffic, weather, and maybe very highly significant local news. I only seek out 6 bc of Travis Meyer and 6 used to be good at traffic & severe weather alerts but no more. I do not want to see who has the spirit stick or that a 3rd person died from the flu somewhere. There are always going to be flu deaths! Shortage of immunizations is newsworthy. Thousands dead from flu is newsworthy. Not 3! Flu immunizations causing deaths bc contaminated is newsworthy. But not 3 deaths nationwide. And I definitely don’t want to see Sports. If you can’t tell me who won the World Series then I don’t want to see any sports. I will go elsewhere for my sports news..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ More focused on ad revenue than news or weatherAt one point I found this app to be useful but as time goes on I find myself using other, national, apps for news and weather. This is due to more and more ads being introduced at various points of app usage. Open the app, get an add. Watch severe weather on your phone as you don't have cable, expect to see an ad. Now random full screen ads pop-up when you are reading an article forcing you to X out to continue. I can't do it, I'm out..Version: 3.3.3800
✓ Unorganized app but I love the stationThe news itself and weather reports are all outstanding. This review is about the app. The alerts pique your interest and you go to swipe the alert to get more info, only most of the time you will not be directed to ANY content the alert is for. I imagine some of these are to get you to "Tune in" to broadcasts. It would be nice to know you don't need to bother with wasting your time trying to find more info on the "alert aka teaser" because none exists. You never know if you're getting an alert that will lead you to more info or one that wastes your time because it's a teaser. I find this disrespectful of my time. The LIVE features during weather are great. The weather alerts are awesome - I get some of those before the Weather Service alerts. I find the weather alerts the most useful feature of this app. The search feature is not very robust. It is difficult to find what you are looking for most of the time unless it's live weather.Version: 3.3.3800
✓ I love six in the morning but way too many commercialsI watch six in the morning every weekday when I’m getting ready for work. I try to watch the evening and 10 o’clock news but when is preempted it doesn’t always announce why, it just ask of the app is not working. Also there are way too many commercials. I know that there are commercials on the live feed but I have also seen Facebook footage of the news team between sets. The app could do this instead if we pay extra to be commercial free. Just a thought, I hope you guys consider it. Also, when the show is preempted by national network, maybe you could put a runner across the bottom of the screen or even a primitive card with writing on it..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ Live newsThe phone app doesn’t give you live information when there’s severe weather warnings around and you have no electric. The only time live info shows is if it’s during regular broadcasting time. There are lots of people with some type of dish network and when weather hits, we lose all the television stations because of the clouds and the app is the only thing we can rely on for safety. I have the news and weather app neither keep you informed live..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ App crashes immediatelyPrevious complaint about proofreading of stories still stands. No change, so obviously not a concern for the professional journalists. Sad. Update for iPhone/iPad before a vacation. Hoped it would fix the difficulties getting this app to run on either platform. It didn’t help. So I updated the app to see if that helped and it didn’t. When I attempt to open the app, it starts to work for 2-4 seconds, then crashes and closes. What happened???.Version: 4.4
✓ InformativeI have an appreciation for the app. The one thing that bothers me is, when I get a notification and touch it to be sent to the app and it does not automatically bring up the story. Some of the time the story is no where to be found. Very annoying. But otherwise the app is great! KOTV has always been my choice of new for news. I still have the this app even though I no longer live in Oklahoma! Just to keep up with what's going on in my home state..Version: 3.3.4101
✓ Could be better organizedI had to ask where to find the weather and traffic sections. Weather should have its own, prominently placed section, and not just the temperature thing at the top corner. Not everyone knows to tap on it, and end up tapping the other obvious sections of the app only not to find it. Traffic needs to have smaller icons and maybe red and yellow lines like other apps have to show slowdowns. Weather and traffic are things we need in a moment's notice, and we're not getting there fast enough..Version: 3.3.3800
✓ Typical click baitThis used to be a great app with news updates but it has become pure click bait trash. Every time you try to look at a story it's just covered with ads and pop ups. Very low rent for KOTV to allow their followers to have to deal with that crap just to get news when you can't get to a tv. Seriously, if you can't afford to have a useable and professional app for your audience without treating them like that then just shut it down..Version: 3.3.3800
✓ Can't watch live anymoreI used to watch your 6 in the Morning broadcast on my iPad early while getting ready for work. Over the past week, that's no longer an option as there is no button to choose the live broadcast. I've had to resort to watching other stations who still provide a live option to get the latest news. I'll check again in a couple of weeks in hope that you revert or fix the live option..Version: 3.3.4600
✓ News on 6A disappointing App. The commercials are annoying and often from companies I know from experience are not reputable. I especially hate when I get a news alert -,open up the App and there is nothing there about the news story. I’m sorry I just don’t understand the point. I’m turning off notifications; there is nothing there. Just annoying….Version: 5.0
