Fairly reliable
This app works almost all the time. It is my go-to for Tucson news.
Too many adds
The app I understand needs to find a way to be funded, but with the amount of adds they place , it removes the ability to enjoy the time spent within it.
sometimes a bit careless
It drives me nuts when a NEWS article has usage and/or spelling errors and then fails the 'who, what, where, when, why' test of professional reporting.
Not that good anymore
For years I watched KGUN, personnel losses and not so good replacements have turned me off. Add in the number of commercials and the Liberal Political position makes it over the edge. A lot of coverage of the Muslim’s killed in NZ, not a mention of the Christians killed in the Phillipines
Correct designation
Please tell your sports readers that in baseball when a batter is hit it is simply called ‘hit by pitch’. On the other hand when a batter is hit in the head it is called being ‘beaned’. On tonite broadcast the male reporter said the Atlanta Braves batter who was hit by pitch in the left arm was “beaned”. He was not...he was hit by a pitch. There is a world of difference.
Great app that works great
I used to watch the KVOA weather app. It never worked anytime I wanted to watch the news. I would have to watch on tv. Then someone recommended to me this app. It works so well! I love it!
Rare updates
As I’m writing this it is just after noting that while it is Thursday articles are all from Monday…as is the daily forecast. Basically a useless news app.
Oracle weather
I don’t know how or where you get your feedback or information concerning the weather but you need to rethink it! The wind here is so much worse than Tucson is ever! And yet you show it as being a breeze. Check your sources please!!!
Lousy commercials
I guess the positive is u get to see the local news but the crappy thing is that u have to put up w a ridiculous Amt of commercials. I absolutely hate all of the “sponsored content “. Ridiculously stupid developers think people actually click on those ? I avoid those at all costs, and would never click those, (even if they appealed to me) out of sheer contempt for them.
Lot of information
This is where I get much of my news and information when I'm on the go. I like the pop up messages they send.
Factual
Right on point with facts & predictions such as weather. A must have for Tucson residents!!!!
Used to love app now it’s ceap
Used to like your app and weather especially. But now radar takes forever to load it’s confusing and too many ads. Definitely liked old version better. Upset I had to update app because now it constantly freezes especially checking weather. And ads in background makes it hard to read stories they interfere or won’t load. Sorry your improvement makes me want to uninstall because you made it more cluttered and not appealing instead of improving app
By Scripps see also Stitcher app
I prefer their social media feeds for commenting.
Like reading a poorly written H.S. newspaper
I am deleting this app because the articles are never edited.
Ret
Why have you not covered Hillary's Charities like you just did D. Trump??They still owe Haiti a Hospital what happened to the money that was collected??
Good Morning
KGUN begins my day. Before climbing out of bed in the AM I scan the news. It’s usually pretty balanced. I had a couple of other news apps and deleted them.
Get RID OF THE VOLUME OFF DEFAULT SETTING!!
GET RID OF THAT STUPID VIDEO “VOLUME OFF” DEFAULT!! I choose videos because I WANT TO LISTEN while doing chores, etc - and the STUPID BUTTON IS SO SMALL I CANNOT GET IT TO CHANGE TO “ON”!!!!! FYI I try a few times, then give up in disgust, and go watch AND LISTEN TO Channel 13 instead!!! MASSIVE FAIL, dudes!!!
Keeping up with local news
Kgun’s app is fast and accurately reports the news. If the story is “breaking “, they make sure to tell you. Follow-up is pretty good. Also, timely push notifications on new stories.
Too many spam ads
Far too many ads, most of them spam. Can't get through a story without being redirected to an ad.
100,000 times better than last offering
The previous app that I reviewed was good. I noted the poor weather interface. The update/redesign is really exceptional. Very clean, and uncluttered. That said, those who update content do a woeful job. Better app than the past, potential to be much better. Currently, at best only serviceable.
Great Local News
Always check my news here. Never disappointed!
Repetitive political commercials
App works great great. I travel and take my Apple TV device with me which has my kgun app on it so I can keep in touch with Tucson news. But I can’t watch it! It goes to commercial break and it will be the same negative political ad that is local to the state I’m visiting over and over and over. It is beyond frustrating. It’s like you’re trying to make us delete the app and move on. Just don’t understand why.
👍
Hot dang!
Terrible design
The UI is terrible. Something I’d expect in the mid-2010s. Watching any videos/media associated with a story, sound, doubled stories (why not just update the original?), and searching for relevant stories. It’s not intuitive in the slightest. You open the app and get just a random list of stories. Unorganized, no top stories or design changes.
Clear and concise relevant news
I don’t have to wade through a bunch of irrelevant fluff to get to the interesting stuff. No one proofreads anymore though. I wish I could get paid for every typo I find. I think everyone expects their computer to catch the errors. Old fashioned proofreading is still a good thing. This is still a good place to go to keep up with worthy news.
Little News mostly ADs
This App is a commercial haven if you like commercials than this is a 4 star app. It starts with no less than 4 commercials then you get 2 stories then 4 commercials a true waste of the viewers time...UNLESS you enjoy ADs terrible.
KGUN 9
Love this news station! Love it, love it, love it! Thank you KGUN 9 on your side! ❤️👍🏼
Crashes
It crashes when you open it
Simple Local News
This app is a simple conduit for catching up on both national and local news and weather by either reading it or with short videos.
Crashes
After the recent update it continually crashes after being opened for only a few seconds!
News and weather.
What more can you ask for? Quick, easy to read. It’s great!
Definitely a 5 Star App
Download this app and I PROMISE you won't regret it. All your local and national news right at your fingertips. Kgun9 is one of my favorite apps that I have and use daily for breaking news, they alert me when they are live and I have emailed them in the past with concerns about seeing fire trucks and paramedics down and around my aunts house and they responded to me immediately. Thank you kgun9 for all your hard work in giving us the best news around town. We truly appreciate you all.
