- [R2] KPRC 2 News 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
- [R5] KPRC 2 News Very cool on Breaking News: This app keeps me posted on the days events. I get all the breaking news fast. You always know the weather and how the traffic is doing before you leave your home.
- [R42] KPRC 2 News Always current and dependable!: I use to watch another channel until it went down in Harvey. Then I tuned in to KPRC and I haven’t tuned out since! I love the anchors and reporters. They report interesting and current stories. I recommend watching this news station and getting their apps!
- [R63] KIRO 7 News Too many errors in the stories: There are too many errors in the news reports online. Somehow have words that are left out and some are misspelled words. Also, when you click on the link you receive on the phone via text a lot of times the links do not go to the stories.
- [R7] KPRC 2 News Not easily navigated: I’m always struggling to find stories. I search a key phrase and it still won’t pull it up.
- [R27] KPRC 2 News 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.
- [R60] KPRC 2 News 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.
- [R72] KIRO 7 News Notifications that go nowhere: It is frustrating to me to get a notification that I am interested in reading that I can’t find in the app once I have tapped on it. Please fix this because I will no longer take your notifications seriously.
- [R24] KPRC 2 News 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.
- [R28] KPRC 2 News 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!
- [R61] KIRO 7 News Doesn’t work: Try to open on iPhone and says unable to open app. Deleted and downloaded. Same issue. Tried to contact KIRO app help but takes you to their News website.
- [R117] KIRO 7 News App Keeps Crashing in Late 2021: What a drag. I’ve used this app for several years perfectly satisfied, but the last 2-3 months, it keeps crashing. It crashes even after i reload it from the APP store. It crashes on my phone and on my iPad. Guess I’ll have to switch to a competitor’s app, sorry!
- [R6] KPRC 2 News 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.
- [R39] KPRC 2 News 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.
- [R70] KIRO 7 News Too many repetitive ads: It hard to access the news from media hype, such as foods that cause dementia or how to stop ringing in the ears. I’d rather get just news. Offer a section for all the sponsored stuff and keep it out of the news section.
- [R106] KIRO 7 News Too many ads: I get it that ads pay the bills but some feedback is ads are too long and too frequent
- [R12] KPRC 2 News 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.
- [R97] KIRO 7 News App won’t open: Updated the app. It just keeps saying app won’t open retry check your signal. It’s got a full signal three bars. The KIRO 7 weather app opens, but not the news app. Very frustrated.‼️‼️‼️🤬
