KSBW Action News 8 - Monterey for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not a very good news app1. I would like to be able to actually read the news on this app instead of being forced to watch the video. The text is buried at the bottom and so even if I stop the video it’s impossible to read. 2. The Search engine is wretched. Key words, names, etc frequently bring up nothing when these same key words and names are in the day’s news. 3. It takes forever to load a story plus I’m forced to watch an ad each and every time I go to another story. I find this app so annoying I’m deleting it..Version: 5.12.4
✓ Good TV Station Bad AppThis TV station deserves a better performing app. Ads that freeze and prevent access to content. Terrible search function. There must be some organization to the layout but I’ve not figured out what it is. When I see something on TV and want to follow it up here I often can’t find it, especially if it is a secondary story or something that was just briefly mentioned. I keep the app because the news coverage is only one of two local options so I keep the, both. I get so frustrated using this one though, I often consider deleting it. BTW I’m not someone who generally has trouble with apps, I get good results most of the time. This is an app problem, not a reflection of my ability..Version: 5.13.934
✓ FrozenAlready had trouble with new App & today it froze to death -- I dumped it & will reload but it's been a constant disappointment to try and get my local news. Ads. Ads. & More Ads!! Everything I’m looking at on other sites such as ZAPPOS shows up as an Ad in each article I read on KSBW news app! This is very troubling! How little Privacy do we have?? I check the app just for the local Weather and other Alerts — that’s All. Shame on KSBW..Version: 5.12.65
✓ Too much memory and too many advertisements!Every time you go to any headline, you have to watch another commercial. The app assumes everyone has the newest phones and that your phone is new enough to run this application..Version: 5.15.428
✓ Ends too fast!When I’m reading an article I can’t get to the rest of it ... very frustrating ... it’s all good to a point then ... I like the resources very much. I like the quick news updates; appreciative. Thank you for all that you are doing..Version: 5.13.853
✓ TOO MANY ADSEvery story you watch requires you to sit through an ad that can run as long as 30 seconds (sometimes longer than the news story). It is frequently the same ad over and over again. App should limit the number of ads required for each session of using it and not repeat ads. Better yet, provide a “Skip Ad” button after a few seconds..Version: 5.13.722
✓ Hate this appI really try not to go to this app and that is really a shame because the KSBW news is my favorite local news station. My husband and I love the news team but this app is SO annoying! I tap on a story (so I think) and I get a video. I should be able to choose a video if that is what I want, but it is my only option. Not good..Version: 5.13.722
✓ Both Stations-waste of air timeBoth review same news - Eeek & both ONLY on rare occassions cover Carmel &Monterey Eeek,eek. /Dan G is good. Other female reporters are pleasant. Both my Sis & I say>Erin is boring, needs a new bra w/up lift AND reports 1/3 news on Salinas yet can’t pronounce Spanish names & places after all these years!!! / Better if —one station KSBW, e.g. report on N. counties e.g. Holister, S. Benito., S.Cruz, Salinas & Salinas Valley; & other Station can cover Pacific Grove,Carmel, Pebble Beach, Monterey,Carmel Valley, Chular & So. Hwy1, also Moss Landing, Marina,& Seaside BUT probably not fun because less crime. “Weather Reporters” are good especially the black gentleman reporting on weather (regret to say - I can’t recall his name, sorry.) That’s all for now - just off the top of my head. All these points have been discussed in our homes for years. Also, will never forget the 49ers won a season and were given their celebration parade - Erin was suppose to be covering this “huge celebratory even - Weird She was on camera rambling on about some other subject for a good whole 5 minutes. “What” - “grief” she was not tracking! Eeek! We in the family - all of us - were commenting... “Where is her head?” Obviously, we never got over that. “Thank you for asking our opinion.” Good luck. Why are these two stations over-lapping news programs..Version: 5.15.428
✓ SlowI have always liked your station but your breaking news is very slow. Sometimes it comes up to 10 minutes after other channels have reported. :-( You have hardly any interest in south county and that's frustrating when trying to get info.Version: 5.11.29
✓ Lose the AdwareI view this app to read the news (and that’s laughs too), but I’m forced to read or watch your adware without any provision for deletion before I’m able to view the news. If you’re going to force viewers to watch adware, then you need to pay your viewers for doing so. If not, stop it!!!! Additionally, you must not have any real journalists left on staff, because all I see is video. If your staff can’t write, then perhaps you should hire journalists that know how to spell and write. Seldom in a position to “watch your news”. Keep this garbage up, and I and my friends will seriously look elsewhere. Will also talk to my attorney about suing you for making us view your adware..Version: 5.13.270
✓ GeneralHow about giving Dan and Erin a night off per week and work some of the younger folks into the broadcast. Kyla and Caitlin are great let them come on together! Your forecasts for Pebble Beach are non-existent. Jim Vanderzwan used to have people all around the Peninsula send him info on what was happening everywhere weather wise! Move Drea to the other side of the screen so we can see her she hides over near Dan and her presentations are great but hidden! The pin ball machine bumper Dan and Erin sit at has to go looks ridiculous! Only Gina gives a great weather report we can count on! Hire Rocky from KPIG for the surf report he does each morning at 8:20 a.m. he is fantastic! Joseph Heston should be replaced by a woman from a larger market! Brittany and Lauren are the best reasons to watch KSBW besides Drea and Gina!.Version: 5.15.15
✓ App never works9 times out of 10 when I get an alert and open the app, it’s a black screen so I can’t read the alert. If I close out, the alert goes away. If I try to go back in, the screen is still completely black. When I am able to get the screen to come up, the article says the same short description as the alert with no link to additional details. Totally disappointing app..Version: 5.13.626
✓ Update broke the streaming news functionLatest update broke the streaming news function. It plays the ads fine (of course), but the news never starts. This is the only reason I have the app. Loved this app up until this to stay current on Monterey area news when not in town, but now it’s just the same as reading the stories on their webpage. Avoid until they fix this..Version: 5.13.140
✓ Central coastThe weather cast dominates the whole NEWS cast... no one besides a future meteorologist is that interested in the weather. There’s tons of commercials and the same ones over and over and over again. Believe or not everyone is not original from the central coast.... I’m sure there are sports fans from all around the world living here. Can we hear stories about our teams too?! Some times the app only has audio and no video. Some times it is still playing news from sunrise in the afternoon. There’s a lot of technical difficulties. I have the app on my iPhone10 and firestick for my tv, same issues with both..Version: 5.13.180
✓ Breaking newsBreaking News Headline has been up since July 18 on MPC possible bomb. It is now July 25 and it is still posted. Really? Please take it down. I like checking the weather on the app which is updated at least twice daily that’s why I’m giving it 3 stars..Version: 5.13.151
✓ Good for news when the ads are finally overWhen I open the app the page is black. After about 10-15 seconds an ad starts. It goes in for quite a long time. Very annoying. I have an ad blocking app but apparently it isn’t effective in this app..Version: 5.13.868
✓ Unusable on iPhone SEImpossible to read on the SE. Every 1/3 of a page an Ad appears — that wouldn’t be so bad, but... The paragraph you’re reading ends in the middle - the ad appears - and when you scroll down, the remainder of the text in the paragraph is nowhere to be found; and the next paragraph has begun... Impossible to coherently read news articles on my device. Ten thumbs down. Less than one star..Version: 5.15.15
✓ Bad AppLike most media in the modern, the concept of “breaking news” has gotten quite casual and the alerts from KSBW are no different. While I am tempted to turn off the many unnecessary alerts KSBW sends me rebought the day, I feel like I should leave them on as it’s my local news source. Also, I absolutely despise the adware that plays videos automatically when you are trying to read a story. This is something that’s need to be addressed as it’s will turn many people away from using this crappy app.Version: 5.15.776
✓ Lacks ContentToo many video only stories. App seems to populate with stories that look more like the click bait ads on many websites. Must sit through video ads before every story. Watch an ad, then video news clip. Next video you click on and you get another ad to sit though. Really annoying if you have slow broadband. It’s not like you have to watch an ad on their TV broadcast between every story but you do with their app. If you’re looking for local news the KION app has much more content. Also the stories don’t seem to update throughout the day. Maybe once a day they add a story..Version: 5.12.65
✓ Frustrating AppOkay for casual news review - but hard to follow alerts - ads play out loud and can’t be shut off without leaving the app - and there are ads that look like news which clutters the interface..Version: 5.13.934
✓ Not Smooth on iOSThe app dries not scroll smoothly on iOS on iPhones 6s, 7, X, and XS Max (the only phones I’ve used the app on)! This has been the case for the past few years. No dates on when an article was posted or updated. The KION app doesn’t have these issues..Version: 5.13.242
✓ Have to start over at beginningThis app is very fragile. Seems like if I even breathe on it it closes. Can’t run it with the window off. When I start up again it starts at the beginning rather than where I was. I do appreciate getting local news anytime. DITTO!!!.Version: 5.13.567
✓ ProblemsI have had to re-download this app about five times. I am now sick of it. There’s some bug fixes that really need to be addressed. The app won’t load I just get a revolving icon.Version: 5.15.776
✓ FreezesFrequently when I click on a story it freezes, leaving only a blank screen. I have to completely leave the site. I have given up trying to follow news on this Ap. Only when desperate for local news will I open the Ap..Version: 5.13.926
✓ Like KSBW news stationThe mobile app could use some interface updates. Stories are presented in an inconsistent view and some stories are presented in more than one instance. Still l enjoy being able to get news when I am not by a TV.Version: 5.13.242
✓ Not a fan of the appNothing against KSBW News, but I’m not a fan of the app at all. Each news story has a video playing at the top that starts with an obnoxiously loud commercial. And there have been numerous times I’ve waited out the commercial only to have the video completely unrelated to the article. I wish the videos started off muted and gave me the option of listening or not rather than the immediate assault. As a result I hardly open the news alerts..Version: 5.15.928
✓ Unable to read entire news storiesIt’s frustrating when you open a news app to read the article & much of it is covered by ads so you can’t read the entire body of the article..Version: 5.13.650
