What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [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.
2. [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.
3. [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.
4. [R68] Houston News from KHOU 11 5/5 · US The Best: I love that the app no longer has all the annoying advertisements you HAD to watch before watching every clip of news. I also love the new feature to be able to just scroll through them all and their anchors are amazing❣️💯
5. [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.
6. [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.
7. [R64] 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.
8. [R76] Houston News from KHOU 11 1/5 · US What happened to search??: There is no search feature within the app or the ability to filter between news categories. The UI update itself is nice aesthetically but the main features we want from a news application are just missing. I get notifications for interesting news articles and can’t even find them in the app anymore if the notification takes me to the main feed and not the article in the
9. [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.
10. [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.
11. [R81] Houston News from KHOU 11 3/5 · US It could be better: I have used this app for almost 2 years now. It’s gotten better but still needs work. It crashes too much. And I would like to see faster updates to the news. I go into the site and it’s the same news from yesterday. The weather especially needs to be updated faster.
12. [R107] Houston News from KHOU 11 1/5 · US Non-Stop Notifications: Even when you have selected weather notifications only, the app still sends alerts multiple times a day for non- weather related news. Also, when a weather event/alert does come through, prompting you to watch the “important “ live stream, you get a 30 second commercial before you can watch the live stream. No thanks.
13. [R4] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Junk: Now you need to sign up for Nexstar to view live broadcast. It gotten worst!
14. [R40] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Less Ads, Please!: I enjoy this app + use the push notifications to track breaking news for the island. But I find it nearly impossible to read stories or browse because of the immense amount of ads on each page. These are the same garbage ads on misc sites - clean out your ear wax, fix your saggy arms - and IMO they don’t have any place on a local news app. Not professional when you have an ad in
15. [R87] Houston News from KHOU 11 3/5 · US Love the App, Hate the Flood or Annoying Ads!: It’s a catch-22 to open the app daily or not to open! Am beginning to avoid the app just because I don’t want to deal with the multitude of Ads. Also feel that the Temu ads are a scam for good merchandise at a good price. The items are low quality, shipping & returns from China are not customer friendly, return policies are so bad most people jus
16. [R37] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Worthless, I deleted.: The notification on the the phone are ridiculous and frustrating. You click on it and it send you to watch advertising, after you watch it, still the news on the notification is no where to be found, as you search for it, you are welcome with more advertising. Hello! Developer, your app is very unfriendly user. Fix that.
17. [R56] KHON2 News 1/5 · US Aloha: Hello KHON2 plz fix your app. I been trying to watch the news live on my phone but it will not allow me to do so. Also when I go to live news it only says to download the app. Plz fix it.
18. [R118] Houston News from KHOU 11 5/5 · US Great News Staff: I enjoyed your news group so much, I downloaded you to my phone. You don’t Drag the news out. You’re complete and informative in a timely manner. Some OTHER stations also run the SAME AD REPEATEDLY over and over to the point, I quit watching . Thank You, for your excellent coverage and getting to the point .
19. [R62] Houston News from KHOU 11 5/5 · US Hello: I enjoy getting news update on this app.
20. [R100] Houston News from KHOU 11 5/5 · US KHOU IS THE BEST!: I love watching channel 11 because of their informative news stories and also the coverage of the weather.
