Local news
I love this app - I have switched from another local news outlet
Ads are terrible
I understand that advertising is required to make things profitable. But it’s so easy to touch the giant ads on the screen that your instantly taken to the webpage and have to constantly go back to the app. Kcci doesn’t do this. Be like kcci. I never understand why companies make things difficult for users, it doesn’t make you want to use your app.
Great but needs Apple TV app
Works great. A Apple TV app world be awesome
Potentially Dangerous Ads
“Tornado in your area watch now - after this ad! “
Needs Work
Not optimized for 2018 iPad Pro. iPhone version is fairly good.
Up to the minute headlines
It’s wonderful to have news on my phone when we have no power at our farm.
Who tv
I should not have to make a nectar account to watch on the app.
All mixed up
Should separate local news segments from national news segments and shorten the advertising times.
Smart invert colors
It would be nice to see the app take full advantage of what iOS 11 has tI offer. I wish it supported smart invert colors.
Rural Iowa doesn’t always get Iowa news
Thanks to the WHO app, I am able to get Iowa news. It’s weird to live in Iowa and mostly hear Minnesota news and politics. Except during the primaries. Once that is over, we will be back to mostly news from Minnesota.
Very poor update
Ever since the update, the weather temperature and precipitation chance are always the same. I.e. if it’s 38° out then chance of precipitation is 38%. No one is addressing this. Please fix!
Seems antiquated
The app doesn’t play video very well. Most of the controls are very different from other video players. The most frustrating part is not being able to rewind videos. If we can land a person on the moon, why can’t we rewind the video?? (That last part is in jest, but seriously I want the rewind button/scrubbing).
Nice updates on news
Love the updates on news (except on weekends) App keeps crashing
Excellent Ap for Up to Date Des Moines News and Weather
This is a must for any Des Moines resident!
New update
I enjoy reading articles, and the new app makes that difficult. It is so distracting to have a video autoplaying right above where you are trying to read. I would appreciate the choice to pause the video, or not have it autoplay.
Confusing
The main page of this app is a vomit of local news, national news and a LOT of paid advertising. I got this app with the idea that I would have up to date/pertinent news information from my state first and foremost....then accurate up to date national and breaking news. This looks like somebody took random handfuls and news and just sprinkle them wherever they wanted to. Very annoying to the point where I will be removing this out from my device.
No Landscape view for iPad.
No landscape view for iPad.
Nice new look
I like the new set up needs Apple TV app
App won’t open
I had my news app for years and now it just opens to black screen. I have tried everything. Uninstall and reinstall, restart and open and close. Nothing works.
2 hr watch time for 30 min or less program
I love the fact that 13 news has a free app to watch live news! This is my favorite Iowa News station for the 20 years that I’ve been in Iowa. Hate that it takes 2 hrs for me to watch a 30 minute or less news program! The app constantly freezes and plays more of the ad well instead of the actual news!!! Plz! Plz! Fix this issue cause this app will Be Awesome and Get a 5 ⭐️ rating!
Nice Update
I love the new update and the new look.
Streaming Won't Start
After this last update, streaming won't start. Oh, of course I can see the commercials, but live-sreaming won't work. Don't update to this version!!!!! I wish I could go back. UPDATE: Four days later, I am happy to report the live-streaming is back up. With the new features added in, this is a solid news app.
Corrupted
Just like CNN, NSNBC, and China media.
Used to be my #1 news app...
I don’t know what they did recently in an update, but the app freezes up now while waiting for ads to load. So, app freezes, ad never loads, reader is frustrated by getting mid-story and having to force quit the app. Please, look into this. It’s too bad to not be able to get my local news from you guys.
Nice, but...
I really like this app. You can do about everything here that you can in their website. That includes seeing the top stories, and watching the live streaming broadcasts. The problem now is when you go to watch the stream, there are big black sections inserted above and below the actual video, so it can be distracting, and difficult to be able to make it full screen. This is really bad on an iPhone, and moderately bad on an iPad mini. This has been for the last few months, I thought it might get fixed, but not yet...
Nice news app.
Easy to navigate. Nice layout. I get more national/world news alerts from this app than from my Google News app.
Live news is not reliable at all
I would give this app less stars but that is not possible. I live in central Iowa and have strong wi-go connection. The live version of the news cuts out in the middle of almost every story. It is maddening to try to watch. I would not recommend this app if you want to watch live news on a mobile device.
A digital disaster.
This app either freezes for 30 seconds or more or just decides autonomously to close down. Your journalism is ill-served by this digital disaster. Let me suggest that you review KY3's platform in Springfield, Missouri, or Chanel 19 in Cleveland. Their stories are presented in groups of 4 or 10 tiles per screen, their apps work smoothly, and they're just a lot more user-friendly. UPDATE on 27 Dec 2016: Thanks, WHO, for making this a functional application.
Great news, weather and live stream news app!
Up to date news, weather and live streamed news app. Would highly recommend it to those wanting breaking news or those who want to catch up on news and what is going on in the viewing area.
App crashes playing live
Sometimes, this app crashes when I tap “Watch Live”.
Forever loyal to the station.
I've Been watching WhoTv almost every morning since The age of9 (now 21), but when it came to the app, I had to download the Kcci app for mobile local alerts. I use to love Kcci's layout until the recent update. Still, I'd use Kcci over Who13 app. Again, I love the WhoTv, but they need a better app.
The video player is trash
Tried to watch a video where there were multiple videos for the same story and 2 or 3 commercials started playing and I never got to watch the video I wanted to see.
Hard to navigate
Still don't like the navigation. It isn't obvious that you can click on the 3 lines and scroll through a menu to go to weather or sports, etc. I usually just stay on the headlines screen. In the past month, when I click on a story to read it, it starts playing the video even though I have not clicked on the picture. This is super annoying!!! I like the blogs and would like to see more of them, but they frequently refer to a picture or video that is supposedly posted with the blog, but it isn't there.
Live stream unusable
If like me you would like to be able to watch news and weather through this app, I recommend you find another. The live stream crashes constantly and is unusable. I recommend trying another network app.
Can't watch videos
It's nice they have written stories, but they need video content.
