Back to a 5
Great app. Very happy now that you fixed the feature so I can forward new stories to other people. Keep up the good work.
They ruined this app!
This news app is absolutely awful when you compare it to the previous version. Fix it!
I’ve always been a fan of KY3 News, but the app could use improvement
This app is very good, as I had download it once before. However, whenever it opens, there are ads come up and have to be closed. Is there a way to get rid of these ads?
Good news station bad app
KY3 is my go to source for news in the region, but the app has now been updated to the point where the advertisements are overwhelming the news value. The advertisement links are so sensitive you can’t scroll on the screen without accidentally opening one. Even when you haven’t opened an advertisement others on the page start running at full volume I’m sure that increases the station revenue, but when it increases my frustration, I leave the app quicker than I would have.
Question
How do I remove the red dot from my home page on your app?
Na
An apple guy had me reset my settings. My only complaint is on my ky3 app I don’t get the sound of ding dong ding. Sounds funny I know. Been the settings on that but can’t get sound back. It’s updated other than that don’t know. To whom it may concern: Matt…thank you !
Greedy
The previous version of this app worked great but then they got greedy and put a huge ad on the app when you open it. This itself is not the problem, it is the fact that the app is too worried about opening this AD and not so worried about bringing you the news. Since this new update the app hardly ever opens. I will be getting my Springfield news from KOLR 10 from now on and will be deleting this one. Also they changed the format to resemble other less appealing news app formats. It needs to return to the previous, easier to navigate format.
Can’t watch
For the last week I’ve been unable to watch for more than maybe 30 seconds then it shuts off. Checked for updates, deleted and reinstalled and still doesn’t work
Annoying 1 Notification Indicator
Since they updated the app I now have a constant one notification indicator on the app. It will not go away!
i hear tornado sirens. i’ll find out if im safe after the adds are done…
i’m literally in the middle of a tornado warning at the airport and can’t pull up the live stream to see what is going on because of some stupid add for a tv show i could care less about. ky3 because we care… only after we get paid.
Too much!
I just signed up for severe weather alerts only but constantly getting notifications for things I don’t care to be annoyed by in times and news.
Left-leaning
It’s frustrating that you get your international news from the AP, which gives left-leaning bias to much of the news.
Bad app
The app is terrible, poor user interface, small buttons, links that go to nowhere, advertisements all over the place, half the time when opening a link via a push notification the app fails to load any relevant content.
Infuriating
There’s no way to turn off auto-play of videos, and sometimes you can’t stop them without leaving the screen they’re on. I have hearing aids, so the videos play through them, and I can’t hear anything else but the video. I’ve always loved KY3 for news and weather but their apps are horrible, and I can’t stand to use them anymore.
Junk
You see something on the channel but can not find it on the app later to share with a friend!
View is small.
To many story preview on one page.
Cluttered with ads
This app is nearly impossible to use. It is completely cluttered with ads. There are no distinct NEWS blocks anymore. This is a LOCAL NEWS App that should clearly cover LOCAL NEWS first. The ads designed to look like news stories are a distraction. KY3 used to be a leader.
Can”t see KY 3 News it will not open up right.
I can’t seeKY3News app.
Broke something that wasn’t broke
The new app is the definition of fixing something that wasn’t broken. Constant crashing, horrible interface, and bad execution makes it impossible to navigate the “new” app. Whoever created this is the reason nobody likes current day I.T. People. They create problems where none exist so they have a reason to come back and slowly fix it. Just leave well enough alone. Don’t break something so you can feel important.
Lousy!
Your radar map is wonderful except for that doesn’t load about half the time. Your videos are good if we can get them but we can’t get the audio recently. Someone needs to seriously invest some time and money into this app.
Bad format
Terrible. Can’t enlarge type. Reporting compared to other apps behind. Go back to previous format.
Terrible update
The new update is terrible and I can’t even share stories. Go back to the previous version
New App sucks
The new app is a definite irritation. Too much advertising and not easy to navigate. Very slow. Continually shows 1 alert or message or something on my Home Screen that won’t clear. I deleted the app, reinstalled, and read all the alerts. Notification disappeared but now it’s back.
