KCTV5 News - Kansas City for Negative User Reviews
✓ Terrible.Push alerts for breaking news that go nowhere. Just enough info in the alert to scare you enough to open the app then no direct connection to the actual story. No clear flow from notification to information..Version: 4.29.650038535
✓ Location serviceWhy do you have to have locations turned on in order to look at the news.Version: 130.4.5
✓ Do you actually read these reviews?This has been my go-to app since I first got an iPad. However, like every frustrated reviewer here, I am both irritated and astonished that this app will not open in landscape mode. I turned off all alerts. If someone actually does read these reviews, and you fix this issue, I will use your app again. Until such time, one of your competitors has my loyalty..Version: 47.0
✓ Good news, poor app; update neededI get news from multiple local news outlets, but this was my go-to for unbiased news (my other local puts selective liberal stories out...not headlines). However, this app works in a manner that is frustrating. You hit the “go back” arrow in the top left corner and it will take you to the top o the article you’re currently in...not back to the menu. Then, ice back to the top of the article, I can tap the go back arrow multiple times and there is no response or a response after nearly 60 seconds. I just want news as I want it, as fast as I can squeeze it into my day. I spend more time closing this app out and rebooting to get o the articles I want than I do reading articles..Version: 4.34.260049866
✓ 44.0 version not goodI had to delete the app with this most recent version. Very much not user friendly. There are too many “sections”. Some swipe others scroll to use. Unorganized..Version: 44.0
✓ Changed 😟No weather available!!!The change to this app is unacceptable. No weather available snd it’s storm season!!! I have used this app for news and weather for years. Will be changing to another station’s app immediately! 😖😖😖.Version: 130.4.3
✓ Change back!The new layout is horrible. The weather function is horrible. The old layout was much better, offered more information and easier to access. Crashes every time I try and open weather..Version: 130.4.4
✓ Not very user friendlyThis app is all over the place. Wish they would make it easier to see headlines and news. The home page is very strange. Looks like you landed in the middle of a bunch of sections..Version: 102.0
✓ Too many adsI click on news apps for news. Not having to watch political adds before I see anything. Bye.Version: 130.4.10
✓ Bring back StormTrack5Bring back the Storm Track 5 stand alone app! It was the best weather app anywhere and the most effective. Burying it in the news app has made it slow, clunky, and just overall not helpful or user friendly! Disservice to those who actually benefit from the one worthwhile tool... really a shame!.Version: 43.0
✓ I hate all the click bate!I’ve used the KCTV5 app for close to 10 years. I hate all the click bait. I can hardly get to the story or reporting I’m looking for man. Is there no way to limit it or disable. And that stupid little X is just a trick you can push it for ever and nothing happens. But I think I might just delete the app! VERY DISAPPOINTED!.Version: 130.4.10
✓ No weatherI used to love this app but recently the weather report won’t load. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and no luck. I hope it gets fixed..Version: 131.0.1
✓ Was good appThe ads are making the app so buggy to where I cannot scroll down at all to actually read the news stories, rendering the app unusable..Version: 128.0.1
✓ NewsroomThe upgrade in the news room is ok but I don’t like that everyone stands up. It’s designed for an accident waiting to happen. I only like to watch the nightly news but they should sit down..Version: 4.34.260049866
✓ Limited storiesWhere is the rest of the news? The app is difficult to navigate if you are looking for full news coverage..Version: 130.4.8
✓ No Data in the App?Now the app tells me there is no data? I’m given the option to QUIT? I did. And I deleted the app. I really liked the news and weather from this app years ago. Today I deleted it. I’ll check back at some point in hopes something will have been changed..Version: 130.4.4
✓ I like itI hate to have to choose categories and as a result have not watched 5 on my I-Pad for quite sometime, however watch Channel 5 on TV all the time. When I do chose a category the news is pretty good.Version: 4.33.530046579
✓ Errors GaloreThere are consistently both spelling and grammatical errors in the articles and push notifications. You would think journalists would take the time to check for errors. This morning’s push notification said: “A few rounds of rains are expected through out the day, including a isolated thunderstorm.” There are three pretty blatant errors in that sentence..Version: 4.30.460042928
✓ Way too many updates!!!Way too many updates! Mostly concerning things of little or no interest. KSHB’s app is much better and far less bothersome..Version: 4.24.210029892
✓ Custom Alerts don’t workI wanted this app mainly for severe weather alerts. I’ve selected off on alerts other than weather and I’m still getting all the other news item push alerts. I may uninstall and go with another local channel app..Version: 4.33.400044523
✓ Revert back pleaseCan you change it back to how it was last week before the update, this layout is worse than the last one, the last one was more structured.Version: 130.4.3
✓ What happened to a good traffic app?Channel 5 had a great traffic app that I could open on my way out to the car and check my route in 15 seconds. They’ve now disabled that app and forced me to use this piece of crap. It takes 30 seconds to load, then a dropdown to get to traffic and it opens Waze which requires two hands to operate. This app should be rated a ZERO.Version: 43.0
✓ Bring back the weather appThe old weather app was the best. Highly accurate, easy to use, and reliable. This new app the weather takes forever to open and when it does and slow and gives less info that the old app. I have gone back to using the weather channel app even though it’s not as accurate with local weather.Version: 50.0
✓ WeatherEvery time I tap on the weather it kicks me out and sends me back to my Home Screen? The new updated version has a lot of issues trying to find news etc.Version: 130.4.4
✓ CommercialsWouldn’t it be just as easy to run the local commercials rather than just leave so much ‘dead air’ space? I believe the local offerings are more relevant to your audience. The repeated Sonic or Farmers’ commercials get boring and neither are businesses that I use..Version: 4.30.460042928
✓ App crashesThe app constantly crashes after the latest update.Version: 131.0.4
✓ What happened to this app? TERRIBLEI never take the time to review apps, but this has gotten so bad. Still great on sending the headlines, but when you go to KCTV5 the news is all jumbled with ads, fake articles, etc. Come on! Do better! This app is a joke. Time to delete..Version: 130.4.10
✓ Awful due to latest updateThis used to be a great ap - lots of useful content and easy to navigate. No longer. The very first thing you see when you open it is a full-page ad that has to be closed before you can see any content. The Stormtrack 5 portion of the ap is a major downgrade from the old one. The radar crashes every time if you try to zoom in or out. Overall, too bloated and not well built. Whoever made the decision to replace the previous apps with this piece of junk should be fired..Version: 44.0
✓ Ads in the appI don’t care tor the new format or the fact that I have to watch a stupid ad/video before I can get to the news. Looking for a different news app that doesn’t have ads..Version: 130.4.3
✓ Too many videosUse to have more reading options now mainly video news. News alerts frequently open. I personally preferred older version. I like news feeds where I can choose to read or watch Thank you.Version: 4.30.430040942
✓ Quality of the journalism is pretty dismal.Articles fail to answer standard who, what, when, where, why questions and the grammar and sentence structure is frequently poor unless the story is picked up from a wire service. As one of the major news supplier in this market, KCTV5 should set do better. Their app is a disappointment..Version: 4.24.210029892
✓ Currently junkSerious lag time from touching a story to downloading the story. It’s enough lag that forces the user to touch it again. This places the user in the next story down the list. Touching the back button takes it to a blank white screen and need to restart the app. Deleting the app now and will try later to see if it’s fixed. Instead of rebranding update, try a functionality update..Version: 4.30.430040942
✓ Livestream issuesThe app livestream was over 30 minutes behind during a tornado warned severe thunderstorm. Even with uninstalling and reinstalling, clicking the live button, force closing the app and making sure I had done everything possible to get it on track, it was still behind. That causes a very serious problem during these events..Version: 130.4.8
✓ Total wasteJust moved to Kansas City and wanted to get up to speed with local news. I just want something I can open and get the gist of what’s going on. App is ad heavy, initial view only shows a couple stories then tons of icons for the various sections. Then there’s the alerts. They have an alert for everything. I had it set only for “breaking news” and was constantly bombarded with notifications. Even with everything turned off through the app I still got notifications. After about three days I deleted and will be trying the other local news apps..Version: 4.33.530046579
