5. [R1] 5/5 · US Best news ever,: I’ve been a fan for 65 years! KPRC has the best reporters the most detailed reporting and doesn’t leave the viewers wandering as to what the hidden facts of a story may be I find it better than watching the others
6. [R4] 5/5 · US Online news: Always thorough informative news
7. [R20] 5/5 · US Right On Time Just When I need Info!: Sharp, Precise Accounting of Announcements the Public Must Receive.
8. [R145] 5/5 · US Great news source: Timely, accurate, complete. I depend on it.
9. [R79] 5/5 · US My #1 News Station: I love channel 2 News especially the Weather . It’s the most accurate information you can get. If N. Frank says you can bet on. I like the reporters, down to earth and easy to understand.
10. [R126] 5/5 · US Ch 2: My favorite news station. Especially Frank’s weather. Living in southern Laporte, I get more information for my area than other stations. Most other weather reporters stand right in front of location as they point to more “important “ areas of interest. Keep up the good work. Thanks
11. [R154] 5/5 · US Best news information: I count on the news and weather you put out. For floods or winter weather. Thank you.
12. [R99] 5/5 · US Site is well laid out: I like the way it places the stories for easy viewing.
13. [R116] 5/5 · US I appreciate this app: I have always enjoyed KPRC and really like the app. It’s easy to search through. I check it everyday for my next day weather and the week ahead. Thank you channel 2 for always being up to date.
14. [R24] 1/5 · US Ads ruin it: The ads are sudden, full page, and startling… horrible… I no longer will use this app.
15. [R25] 2/5 · US Ads Galore: You can’t even open the app without seeing a full screen ad. There’s also no way to skip the ad as there’s no X button until you watch the whole 30secs! I don’t mind ads but these ones are next level obnoxious, especially for a news app.
16. [R27] 1/5 · US Why the ads?!?: This used to be my favorite and only local news app that I had on my phone. Now it’s just plain terrible! I can’t even login and read an article w/out an ad popping up! And now some of the ads are 30 seconds long! What the heck happened Click2Houston?!!? Why are y’all doing this to your app? It’s extremely infuriating and annoying! I’ve deleted y’all’s app once and honestly I’m ser
17. [R41] 1/5 · US Too many ads: I used to love this app but they recently changed to where a video auto plays on the top (and no option I see to stop auto play). If that wasn't annoying enough, now when you open the app a FULL PAGE advertisement plays and you have to watch the whole thing before getting to the articles. There is no way to close it out. I'm deleting this app. When I want to check the news, I want qu
18. [R9] 1/5 · US Show me the story: When you send a notification I shouldn't have to search for it when I tap on the notification 😡
19. [R43] 3/5 · US Recent update with adds is frustrating: I’m a 20 year KPRC viewer, as long as I’ve been in Houston, and have loved the app as well as the 2+ app. The recent update that sends me to an add every time I click on a notification has me ready to delete the app. App designers, please consider removing this feature. I know there is a need to make money but your about to lose app users.
20. [R45] 1/5 · US Ads: When I open a news app I want the news, not an advertisement. Don’t send me breaking news notifications when I can’t link directly to it without seeing an ad first. This was my go to news app but think I’ll be switching to one of the other local stations’ app from now on. BTW, I hate the new weather section as well.
21. [R21] 1/5 · US Disappointing.: KPRC 2+ Streaming is a JOKE. Difficult to navigate- Biggest complaint is The News is Not Up To Date. NO Follow Up! Some news items still streaming are 6 months old ! The Houston Sports team results are seldom Published. The entire Web site is a Huge Disappointment!
22. [R22] 1/5 · US Poor updates, obtrusive ads: If you like reading the same stories for three days and have original stories inundated with pop-up or screen covering ads, then this is a site for you.
23. [R33] 1/5 · US No news: This is not where one goes for news. The posted news is old, or incorrect, or mostly, not mentioned. There are better apps now if you are looking for a news app. This is not it.
24. [R34] 3/5 · US Where do I start!: Too many adds that interrupt the beginning of the import every news story. Most annoying is the old news, it’s like they don’t refresh what’s on the app but a couple of times a day. Scroll for more news and it just repeats it what’s up top!! This is the most annoying.
25. [R12] 1/5 · US No dark mode and constant pop-ups: This used to be a decent app to get news on your phone from locally however since the recent updates, there’s been lots of pop-ups for ads and also there’s still is no dark mode
26. [R66] 4/5 · US Add dark mode: Dark mode makes the app feel better and wont waste much battery,so im requesting it to be added
27. [R59] 1/5 · US Needs better settings: When you open the app the top portion always shows you some live video or a video of something. There needs to be a setting that allows us to turn this off. It’s annoying when your listening to music or a podcast and you just wanna check the news but the video portion cuts it all off. Then the button to close it out isn’t always responsive. Y’all are trying to do too much ke
28. [R62] 1/5 · US Live player: The new live tv player is annoying. It takes over media playing from the phone and I can’t find settings to disable it. Please please fix this issue!
29. [R3] 1/5 · US Review: Your news is mainly from AP which is too liberal
30. [R17] 1/5 · US Too Bias: KPRC 2 will repost stories from other left leaning news outlets. They are obviously bias to any conservative ideas. Their reporting does not reflect fair and balanced news.
31. [R95] 3/5 · US Too far left: Way too far left
32. [R150] 3/5 · US Bias slant: You may not be aware, but many political reports are presented with a liberal slant. Sometimes it is nothing more than an unnecessarily added adjective. For example, former government officials in specific positions, such as Congress, governor or President always carry the title. But recently there was a report that referenced Mr Trump. Shuttle bias. Thank you
33. [R10] 1/5 · US Not easily navigated: I’m always struggling to find stories. I search a key phrase and it still won’t pull it up.
34. [R18] 2/5 · US Not easy to customize content: Content is repeatedly posted 2 and 3 times in my feed with no obvious, easy way to omit the redundant postings. In addition, news articles are poorly written, missing key content like location and time. Furthermore, because of all the advertisements, I won’t click on a video….its too much too much time and advertisement to sit through.
35. [R133] 3/5 · US App review: I can’t find the search bar in order to search for a particular story. I thought the app would flow a little smoother from story to story.
36. [R217] 3/5 · US Too busy: All of the videos and ads makes it too slow to load and hard to use. Gave it three because head and shoulders better than Channel 11 which I give one star
37. [R60] 2/5 · US Embarrassing 😳: KPRC always talks about how they are a leader in breaking news. I find the reporting content is on point but when it comes to this app there are two things that I would be mortified to put my name on: typos and ads. 1. TYPOS…you need not look long to find a multitude of typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors. As a news organization, one would expect journalists to have m
38. [R118] 3/5 · US More concerned with always being first than always being accurate: Many times it appears that no effort was made to spell check written reports online. Also sometimes a notification of a story or an event in progress to livestream is sent, but can’t be found when opening the app. I have alway liked channel 2, but I disappointed in some of their recent performances over the last couple of years.
39. [R28] 1/5 · US Pop up ads: Full page pop up ads on opening with audio, no way to stop ad Deleted app
40. [R23] 1/5 · US Click2Hou review: Most stories don’t have complete information. Never a follow up
41. [R19] 1/5 · US Uncontrolled: Videos play uncomanded, tapping notifications doesn’t open that content.
42. [R57] 1/5 · US Not worth opening: When I close the app it then opens up a window of a video I wasn’t even watching, making it like I have to close the app twice
43. [R63] 1/5 · US Liberal Rag: Journalism has been dead for awhile but after downloading the app to see if they mention the 2 toddlers gang raped in the Galleria….no mention. Because they were Hispanic perhaps? A joke.
44. [R6] 5/5 · US Love channel 2: Love to look at good news
