I like it
Itβs a good app it keeps me updated and itβs up to date.
Too much Bay area news
If I could give zero stars I would!!! Somehow, KION thinks Monterey County News is not important anymore to Carmel, Monterey, Seaside,Salinas,Gonzales,King City, etc. Please change your format BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great news. Decent app.
I love the news you guys report on. You update stories frequently. I much prefer the app over ksbw. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the only 1 complaint...the notifications send and alert me multiple times on the same story, wasting my data. It isn't an update in story it literally notifies me to the same article 2-3 times. Could stand to simmer down a bit. π
Issue with notifications
My notification randomly stop coming in. I always have to go into the settings to turn them on. Outside of that issue the app seems stable and good source of local news.
Livestream Broken
the Newscast Livestream is broken, when you click the play button it doesnβt do anything.
Better coverage with relevant reports
Not another mainstream news channel duplicating generic news rather gets into the community making you feel a part of it.
This App Should be Removed
The past few weeks all of the breaking news has been driving a lot of people to news apps. This is one I had for my local news and recently they have turned up their in app ads. Until 2-3 days ago. The ads were not only aggressive but they were straight up phishing. Like a webpage that looked like google (using their marks) but was just trying to get people information. This is completely unacceptable for a reputable news source. Apple needs to remove this application until any and all predatory advertising is removed for good.
The best local news app for the central coast, but...
There are only two local news apps for the Monterey-Salinas market, and only one worth the download. This is the one. My only complaint is that even though weather data is supplied by Weather Underground, it does not let you select a local weather station from the large community of weather providers in local neighborhoods, only major stations like airports and civic centers. Add that functionality and this app will deserve five stars.
Eh
Pro: Stories in general are better than those on KSBW (which is not saying much). App more user friendly than the KSBW app, no flashing/flickering ads. Cons: Same news story listed 2-4 times under different title. Articles loaded with very obvious spelling and grammar errors. Stories with misleading titles. The language used in terms of difficulty is below high school level and either editors are blind, not doing their job or have no idea how to write are supervising journalists who have absolutely no idea how to write. For example, their/they're/there and to/two/too are very common problems authors have (which is basic grade school English 101) -- these journalists clearly need a refund from the colleges where they got their degrees from. I'm far from a spelling Nazi & admit spell check is my friend -- these journalists & editors seriously need an introduction! As a instructor at the local junior college I would not have accepted papers submitted written that poorly (& failed out the student). This review is written far better than the majority of articles you will read on this app. That is just plain sad. Ok. Embarrassing, really.
Basic but works
I was hoping for more of an interactive App that includes live streaming. More like a newspaper than a TV station. I want to dump cable and go direct to my favorite source for news.
Local news
Iβm a news junkie. I love to know whatβs going on around us and want to be careful for. So getting local news and the tip of your hands is wonderful. Thank you for your wonderful work.!
Garbage national news reporting
Decent local news but just pure GARBAGE national reporting. If I wanted CNNβs bias crap, Iβd go to their website to view it.
Needs Updating
Lots of formatting issues as well as just looking generally old. Once some updating is done I would give 5 stars!
Mediocre app.
Not very informative, or delayed information.
News stuff
Okay ap. Not bad not good, just okay.
Great app
Very good app. They do a pretty good job updating the app especially when I don't get much time to watch the news.
Just go to CNN just as bad as KSBW
KION has little local news and what the have is not updated They rebroadcast Left wing CNN stories I don't know who is worse these guys or KSBW John
KION Mobile
Good app easy to navigate.
Ok
Still has bugs and crashes but ok
Keeps you up to date on our Local News
For Monterey residents this app and the KSBW app are great for local news and weather updates.
Better than KSBW
Not a bad station for a dangerous, murderous, unsafe town.
KION as I expect and enjoy - but why
Much better than the other version available for the IPhone. The KION I expect and enjoy! But why two versions of the same news channel any way? Isn't one good app better than two when one of the two is awkward and lacks user friendliness?
Mr
I love this app!.
I check it daily
Good local news
Great App - better than KSBW by far
I haven't had any problem with this app. No ads, loads quick and easy to navigate. Only thing is it doesn't seem like a lot of info is updated on the weekends.
Me
I really like your new logo. π
Pr
Super. Much better than the animal stories
New version
Better! Less crashing
Exactly what I need
Great local news source with excellent reporting!
Good mix of local national and international
It's a good news app for a local station. I wish they would spell check more often.
Great site
Great site since i live in NY AS WELL AS SALINAS I CATCH UP WITH NEWS THE WEATHER SECTION NEEDS A UP GRADE
KION News Updates
Very thorough local news.
