1. [R1] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Buggy and stops working: When I click on watch now or livestream or watch living808 it stops playing randomly and asks to reload page. It just ends up playing the same ads over and over and you never get to see the content.
2. [R3] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Back button: I love how the back button literally never works if you select a notification, on the most sold phone in the world. I don’t expect anybody to actually read this review to change that, but figured I’d shoot my shot :) KHON keep doing your thing. App team for KHON, please contact California. Much mahalos.
3. [R8] KHON2 News 5/5 · US Glitches: I enjoy having the news app, but however, it always glitches out on my iPhone every time I open up the notification button, and now, when I open the app. I do not have a problem with this on my iPad.
4. [R12] KHON2 News 3/5 · US It ain’t the app, it’s the notifications.: Ugh! I get a push notice to tune in and I tap the notice. First there’s and advertisement, then a dead end. Live streaming won’t start for 3 minutes!! It’s like the app craps out. Video won’t start. I’ve been trying for 2 years. You can’t go back to the notice because it’s cleared out.
5. [R6] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Love the App but...: It needs to be where the articles are within the app not where you have to open up a link to the website. Also, too many ads on the videos. Hopefully these issues will be fixed on the next update.
6. [R13] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Ad after ad after ad: It’s an ad clickbait!
7. [R19] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Too many ads: So many ads. Navigation is not easy and having to dismiss all the ads and pop ups is not enjoyable. I understand ads pay for the services but ads shouldn’t be more than news stories.
8. [R21] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Push alerts don’t show mote info when clicked.: Why give an alert and then I click on it and it doesn’t show anything on app
9. [R24] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Notifications, then no story!: I like this app, but when I click the notification headline, the story isn’t there.
10. [R28] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Disappointing: I would like to click on the push messages and breaking news notifications and go straight to the story to read it. Has not happened yet. Could be much more user friendly.
11. [R9] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Too much streaming???: Would like to read more articles as oppose to watching videos or listening to podcasts.
12. [R16] KHON2 News 1/5 · US LIVE broadcast news is a lie!: KHON was my favorite when I had cable TV and one day I realized I’m paying $80 a month just to watch the news so got rid of cable. From the app where they claim there’s a live news stream it’s always at least an hour behind. This renders it completely useless if you’re trying to use it to check live traffic. HNN app actually is live news and loads a lot quicker.
13. [R30] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Great news: Every time I see the headlines I want to see the article because it is after it was shown on tv. I would like to read an article pertaining to that news
14. [R33] KHON2 News 3/5 · US Always gotta live stream: Moving to Portland from Hawaii, I wanted to stay updated with news especially with my whole family still being there. I get a notification, but every time I click to open and read, I need to wait for the live stream instead. Is there a way I can just read about the news and not always have to live stream? Being 2 or 3 hours ahead of the time isn’t always helpful.
15. [R4] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Junk: Now you need to sign up for Nexstar to view live broadcast. It gotten worst!
16. [R14] KHON2 News 4/5 · US Great information: I love KHON2 and their quality presentation of what is happening both locally and nationally. The app is useful but I don’t want to input my credit card number to utilize some of the videos. I also thought I opted out of traffic push notifications but it seems that I still get them. Overall, I really like the app but no CC info from me. ❤️
17. [R51] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US What’s the Value Add?: Updating my review to show I deleted this app in favor of another This is a weather app. There’s literally an ad-free version of this on every iPhone. Stop forcing ads down my throat (that you then don’t allow me to exit out of without launching the ad externally) every 5 seconds.
18. [R52] The Weather Channel 5/5 · US Love the retro option: Downloaded it just for the retro interface, it’s beautiful.
19. [R53] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Access to Standard Options: The app has some so-called “premium” features locked to non-subscribers. Those are easily available on other platforms. No one is going to pay for something they can get for free elsewhere. Wind speed, longer range forecast, windstream, 30 mile lightning strikes. In my experience a consumer looks at this draws a conclusion that maybe you don’t know this is available or
20. [R54] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Sucks: Every update it gets worse with less features and more pop-up ads wanting me to buy premium. I hope everyone deletes this app.
21. [R65] Houston News from KHOU 11 1/5 · US Awful: The new app is awful and has been since it was launched. Fix the iPad screen size problem how about an option to change the font size to something readable
22. [R66] Houston News from KHOU 11 5/5 · US Hello: I enjoy getting news update on this app.
23. [R67] Houston News from KHOU 11 3/5 · US Vern the Vacuum: Wat too much clickbait
24. [R68] Houston News from KHOU 11 1/5 · US Difficult to navigate and find stories: The newest look to the KHOU app is simple, and I love how easy it is now to find livestreams, but it’s so hard to find local news without categories or a search bar. Really disappointing and frustrating.
25. [R79] KING 5 News for Seattle/Tacoma 1/5 · US Horrible update: The redesigned app lacks a basic menu, search bar and dark mode. The ads are invasive. There’s no way to search for a story or find articles about your favorite team. For a news organization that prides themselves on excellence, their app is a massive miss.
26. [R80] KING 5 News for Seattle/Tacoma 5/5 · US Tv: My fubo don’t have channel 5.
27. [R81] KING 5 News for Seattle/Tacoma 3/5 · US Can't Read: The font size is so small that even with reading glasses I find it difficult to read. Ai least give me the option to zoom in?
28. [R82] KING 5 News for Seattle/Tacoma 2/5 · US Weather update: I’m not happy with the recent changes to the weather section. I used to read the detailed weather forecast every day, and now it’s nowhere to be found. It’s been replaced by a weather forecaster’s 20-second summary of the weather via shaky handheld phone, which is not insightful at all.
29. [R93] Indianapolis News from 13 WTHR 1/5 · US Awful compared to old weather app: Quite possibly the worst downgrade ever when compared to the former WTHR weather app. The radar on this app is abysmal compared to the old app. Terrible decision to get rid of the former app.
30. [R94] Indianapolis News from 13 WTHR 5/5 · US Great 👍: This news app is the best local and otherwise news app that I’ve ever used! I love the weather alert updates that are sent straight to my phone so matter were I am I’ll always know what bad weather is coming and exactly what to do in the event of a bad storm! Most of the times I heard it from the app before I do the tv or other outlets! Amazing in all ways. Hands down #1 news/weather app!
31. [R95] Indianapolis News from 13 WTHR 3/5 · US App: Everytime I open the radar is closes the app like I didn’t click on anything you guys need to fix this thing
32. [R96] Indianapolis News from 13 WTHR 1/5 · US Weather link does not work: When I click on weather, I get booted out of the app. We have severe storms tonight so very poor timing for app to malfunction. Please bring back the old weather app. This one is awful!!
33. [R107] WHIO News 1/5 · US Worst news app ever: I’ve never seen a worse app on any platform. It’s nothing but ads that block what you try to see, stutter, stop you reading a story, and just generally get in the way of anything you want to do. Whio used to be my go-to. Not anymore.
34. [R108] WHIO News 5/5 · US Great info: Love Todd So I watch all of whip
35. [R109] WHIO News 3/5 · US Update: Often you run stories that are old. Same with the weather. I suggest you update more often. Thank you.
36. [R110] WHIO News 1/5 · US Horrible UI/UX and News Coverage: As a mobile developer I can attest to many of the comments on the user experience front. You receive a notification, tap on it, you are brought to the app but not the story, instead ads are everywhere takes forever to load and the auto playing of unrelated content is absolutely horrible. Good luck finding the arrival of the deep link isn’t valid. Don’t waste your
37. [R59] The Weather Channel 3/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads. The native app on my phone for weather is just as accurate and no ads pretty much the same features. Sometimes the ads on the weather channel app are easy to close and sometimes they will not close no matter how many times you touch the X or try to get out of it. Sometimes I have to shut down the app and re-open it. Waste of time.
38. [R63] The Weather Channel 1/5 · US Ads with a little weather: It’s just an ad machine with a little bit of weather info in between. Look for a better app than this one.
39. [R101] Indianapolis News from 13 WTHR 3/5 · US Change is Hard: I’ve been using this app for more than 10 years so learning the new layout is frustrating. However, the major bonus is the app does not have Ads every time you watch a video. I think this is a major benefit. App could use some improvements but it’s growing on me.
