KARE 11 Minneapolis-St. Paul for Negative User Reviews

✓ 4.5 stars??????I’m truly surprised this has such high rating. Anytime I get a notification and I want to read up on the article it literally does not load. I constantly have to close out of this app and reopen it. And now they have pop up ads in the middle of the screen and what do you know the app freezes and I’m forced to close the app. Lastly the set up makes no sense it’s very hard to navigate and you don’t know if you’re clicking an ad or KARE11 content. Really hoping for some improvements..Kenn303030Version: 4.32.870042986

✓ Advertisement after advertisementToo many unnecessary advertisements which brings the quality of the app down. Most look like scam ads. I too can learn how to win multiple times in casinos or lotteries. Haven’t we had enough of this crap? Isn’t this one of the reasons we are in a mess today with social media? Get rid of it!!!.IPhoneJimmyVersion: 43.8.21

✓ New Kare 11 AppThis app is very frustrating compared to the older version. It’s full of adds and pop ups that drastically slow or freeze up my device. I mainly use it for local weather forecasts. When a video is selected, there is no sound until you touch the video, then after the video starts, it switches to a must watch, full commercial, which takes from 15 to 30 seconds to load, sometimes switching back to the video for a couple of seconds before it loads again..Bonny LochVersion: 42.5.36

✓ Wish I Could Keep But Ads Are The WorstKARE 11 is generally my local news station of choice, but I cannot stand the app. While I like having access to the news articles and weather info, I am consistently running into third party apps & ads taking over my screen as I scroll. The slightest roll over & an app for Little Caesars or something else pops up. I realize the ad revenue is needed, but the constant pop ups are incredibly frustrating. Have deleted the app from my phone..Tsay4262Version: 43.8.21

✓ Not logical or user friendlyI grew up watching KARE 11 for news and I will watch it when I get a chance. Unfortunately I now have only streaming channels and I no longer get KARE 11 on TV. I use the KARE 11 iPhone app as an alternative to watching the news and I find it unorganized and confusing. There are many times when the same story appears 2 or 3 times in different sections. Why do I have to page past the same story just to read something new? I think the app developers should take a look at this app because there is room for improvement..DkdasselVersion: 43.9.3

✓ Video plays with no sound, restarts itself 3 times.For me, this has been happening since this app was released. I have an old iPad Air, running IOS 12.4.8. In Weather, for example, when I hit the play video button, it starts to play without sound. I then hit play again, and it restarts with sound, but the top half is shaded in grey/black. Then it restarts itself and plays with same top half greyed out. Then it restarts itself, yet again, greyed out again, then the grey clears and the rest of the video is fine. Sheesh! Please fix. Maybe my IOS is old and you don’t support it. Let me know if that’s the case..Jimi-ZVersion: 42.7.35

✓ Live news accessPreviously we were able to watch the live news broadcasts including the sunrise show. Lately this access has been lost. When we click on watch live we get to watch one advertisement and then the app just spins, unable to load the live feed. We are located in Canada..KeithdeanhillVersion: 44.0.52

✓ Stepping BackwardIt’s always amazing how organizations can take something that is working really well and mess it up in the name of “progress” or “keeping up” or “newness”. They took an app that was easy to navigate and had a fantastic weather section and made it a maze with too much extravagant and distracting graphics and video. It was always my go to app for weather radar wherever I was in the world. Now it’s lucky to show you severe weather ten miles away. Very disappointing!.AcboblVersion: 6.1.34

✓ A Buffet of Glitches & Poor DesignGiven that I value Kare 11 as my go-to news source for MN it is beyond words how consistently frustrating this app is. Basic attempts to read news stories, or watch news segments, are frequently met with full app crashes. The design overhauls on the app seem to favor adding flair, rather than ensuring function. And don't even bother with the weather radar, depending on the version of the app there's a pretty good chance that there will be an ad completely blocking your ability to use the radar controls rendering it useless..NtotheBEZVersion: 4.32.870042986

✓ Horrible AppIf you like being tricked into looking at ads, this is app is for you. I don't like it. Ads are made to look just like real stories. Also, no way to skip ads before watching any video story you want to watch. Very aggravating. I believe updates are Kare11's way of getting away from the horrible reviews it gets. Reviews start over with each update. The updates don't improve anything and most times make it worse..CharlieDog52Version: 4.27.840033430

✓ “Improved”’app is horrible!I’ve used the KARE 11 app for years now. It’s always worked fairly well and is a great place to get news and keep up to date. The redesign makes it almost impossible to share stories on Facebook, or other social media, and more than half the time the story I click on to share ends up posting as a completely different story. Tonight I was trying to post the mass shooting story with some commentary, and my commentary ended up attached to a story about moving to the right lane when driving. The commentary about yet another dead kid looked absolutely moronic attached to that post. The improvements are a bust in my opinion and I’ve ended up sharing from the Wcco app when I need to share stories on social media.Dana lawyerVersion: 6.1.37

✓ KARE11 appI like having the news and weather at my fingertips. The developers need to do some more work with the search engine. I find it difficult to locate the stories I want. Often, something I have seen on the broadcast is difficult or impossible to locate in the app..CarolfionaVersion: 42.13.38

✓ Sound is a major issueIn todays world you would think programmers have been able to handle sound. Not the case with this app. Everything works well and as expected but be careful with headphones. The main videos will play so you turn the volume so you can hear it. Then when an add comes the audio is so much louder it will hurt your ears. This large fluctuation in sound volume from story to add is archaic in technical issues and should have been addressed long ago..Tiggi543212345Version: 45.20.1

✓ Too many pop up adds latelyIt used to be good. Now video advertisements pop up in the middle of reading an article or even when I try to leave feedback on their Feedback screen. I don’t even touch my phone and they pop up every few seconds. Very irritating. KARE doesn’t pay much attention to St. Paul. Stories hit National news before KARE picks them up. They need to pay more attention to new and less on Prep Sports..Pipe2917Version: 4.31.080040824

✓ Ok but could be betterSlow to start up ... splashes a pretty “good morning” or “good afternoon” greeting across while it starts, but we all know it’s just masking a slow startup. The wait is just long enough to still be annoying. Occasionally crashes or scrolls glitchily and jumps all over the place. C’mon guys ... news apps are just controlled-environment browsers. How hard can this be to display a story with some pics and-or video? Maybe not give your advertisers the ability to write their own JavaScript ads that tweak out the app? Finally, this suffers from my main beef with most news apps: disabling the ability to zoom in on pictures. I remember vividly the day I first used a smartphone, and the seeming miracle of being able to use two fingers to zoom in on a web page. That was the magic. The web was only barely useable on web-capable phones prior to that. Now we have pages and apps that are optimized for mobile use, which we didn’t have then, but we STILL NEED to be able to zoom pics, especially stuff like infographics. There’s no technical reason apps can’t allow this like most web pages do in a generic browser. Let phones do what they’re supposed to be able to do, and stop stealing the magic. Still 3 stars because I can basically get the news, but as a news app it is mediocre at best..WriConsult7Version: 43.2.41
