Where The News Comes First:
I love the fact that I can get up to the date headlines and new stories that when they appear. As they happen.e
Legacy media
Demonstrates everything that’s wrong with legacy media, and how their narratives are pushed versus journalism. Perfect example of agenda driven bought out institutions
Love this app
I travel a lot and this app keeps me up to date on what's going on in the area. Also like the breaking news alerts. Only thing is all of the AD’s. I had to stop watching your videos due to them.
President’s speech
Yesterday I would have given KCRA an A rating. It has always been my go to news station. Today they failed to air our country’s president’s speech. I’m extremely disappointed and don’t think they will be my go to news station in the future. KCRA, you should be ashamed!!
App resets
KCRA I read your app multiple times a day. This is my favorite news app. The only 2 complaints I have is how often the app resets to the top is when I’m scrolling through the app looking at the articles and suddenly it goes back to the top of app. It does this every few seconds. The other complaint is when I click on a news story from your notifications it deletes the other news story from the notifications. Other than that this is a great app.
Very professional
Great news coverage, up to date news, and pleasant crew
Ads
Ads and more ads, old old news😥
Feedback
As much as I am a fan of KCRA I find the phone app difficult to navigate. For example I may receive a pop up alert and if I don’t click on it quickly enough I have to go to the app to locate the story and it’s not always there, certainly not front and center. Plus the ads are too frequent and too many. Not a fan
Disappointing
The app works well enough, but the actual news content is not updated frequently enough. Weekends are the worst. Are the story writers all given the weekends off? I’m using other sources for actual “news.” I’m tired of three-day-old stories.
Old news
I usually like this app but the ‘happening now’ news is from a month ago. It’s been doing for a while. Kind of pointless
Love daily updates
KCRA keeps me updated on my local news all day. I’m very happy with this App.
Too Many Notifications
I recently realized that I had app on my phone but had notifications turned off. Assuming this had been some kind of mistake, I turned it back on - and immediately began getting literally 100s of notifications a day. After a couple of annoying days, I went to the settings and changed it so I would only get breaking news alerts. Yeah…apparently THEY get to decide what you want to see, not you. Unless a story about a the history of a local parade is what they consider “breaking news”, I am still getting all the same nonsense notifications as before. Now I remember why I had all silenced.
One sided
Just wish you’d be fair to all of us Californians! Very one sided when it comes to politics! Sad.
Ridiculous push notifications
3 stars because generally the content is good and they are local but the news alerts are frequently very trivial. Why are you alerting me to a story about an all female dental office with a push notification? I have now turned off notifications.
Love it!
I am so glad I recently started checking this out! I live here & it is so awesome to see what is actually happening all around me! I can be more cautious about where I go and when! Thanks so much for helping us!!! At almost 75 I can use this every day! 🥰
Garbage
It’s all old articles and ads. Useless for actually keeping up with what’s happening.
Great app when it works
I actually love the content of this app, but I am growing tired of taking the time to select an article to read only to have the app kick me out of the article and refresh to the home page.
App issues
Your app is constantly having issues! It closes stories when I’m reading them and then will take forever to open an article, if it even does!!

Worst App for News
This app used to be my go to news app but now it's so frustrating trying to read one article. Almost every single article starts with the opening sentence then ….where is the rest of the story? I’ve tried to email KCRA several times to let them know the majority of articles are missing the story but nothing has been changed. Guess I’ll look for a different app to get NorCal news.
Frustrating app!
I used to love this app for my local news. However, in the last several months, the app has been very glitchy. When I click on a news alert notification, the app will open but to the main page and not the article I clicked on the notification for. To make matters worse, the article I clicked on (and was clearly interested in) is no longer anywhere to be found in the app. Additionally, when I click on an article IN the app, 9 times out of 10 I will get about halfway through the article and the screen just switches back to the main article listing. I’ve done several reboots and app updates with no improvement. Very frustrating!
Streaming has been variable lately
I love KCRA and have been using the app for years, especially the stream since I don’t have cable. Recently the stream has been glitchy, either only supplying the morning stream when it’s 7pm, or not offering the stream at all.
Newbie
Excellent
Right wing
I’m tired of this Sacramento Maga news organization they’re so right sided they love spilling Trump’s lies when they could actually leave out the lies and put the truth in, but they love putting the lies in there news. With zero fact checking, they know they’re spilling lies and they don’t care.
Good app but broken now
I have this app on my Home Screen to check local news. Recently, the app has started reloading randomly within a few seconds of starting to read an article so I can’t finish reading or really even use the app. I tried deleting and reinstalling but the problem persists. I will delete this app and will not use it unless this is fixed because it is now useless.
Cuts out
Lately, every time I start to read a news story, the app closes right in the middle of reading it. I log back on and it does the same thing, no matter which story I’m reading. Please fix this issue.
Where the news comes first only on 3
Great people that give the news.
Removing all things about Trump!
Trump is so proud to be an American Citizen and therefore, he needs to be held accountable for breaking the law! There is NO SPECIAL COUNCIL! He just invented that to clear himself! He is a criminal and a FELON! And needs to be imprisoned - he can be tried like everyone else would be! The people who dislike him and don’t trust him FAR OUTNUMBER the people who have been Hoodwinked by him and his false promises!
Political coverage
Please stop giving normalizing coverage to Donald Trump and his gang of authoritarians who increasingly show themselves as the autocrats they are. They are a danger to democracy and what our great country has always stood for - freedom to be who we are, welcoming of immigrants, respectful of all cultures, religions, and on and on. And, fact checking his and their lies and his threats. No air time for autocrats please. Used to watch all the time, like your weather team. But, moving to others of late.

Articles not able to be read due to ads
I don’t mind having ads on the same page as content. But it’s becoming beyond difficult to read an article lately. The ads are all over the page and I can’t even read the news articles anymore. Compound this with suddenly it’s even hard to tell if it’s a news article or a paid ad. Starting to consider different sources for news for the first time in 20+ years!
Crashes constantly
This has been my “go to” news app for a long time. What’s happened to it? I’ll be in the middle of reading a news item, scroll down and it just shuts down. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled it, same thing is happening. I have the latest update. Help!!
BEST LOCAL NEWS
Only channel I watch for local news. Very professional, best weather and traffic.
Afraid to leave a review section?
KCRA apparently seems to be afraid to allow fact checkers to leave info that may contradict their "narrative" of their "news"
Weather
As I get up, go to bed and work during the day, I can see what the weather is doing. Can see when the storm clouds are coming in and rain is coming in and leaving. It is a fabulous site.
Can’t silence loud ads
When you open an article, a very loud ad video plays, and there’s no way to mute or even turn down the volume. I won’t open this app when I’m in public anymore, so I’ll probably just stop using it.
