KNWA app is the BEST
I love the KNWA weather app. Dan Skoff has amazing skills as a meteorologist. I find Dan Skoff’s ability to forecast the weather quite accurate along with the fact that God is ultimately in control ! 😀
One sided
Hate to give this a 1 star but can’t help but do it. These journalist and news are one sided against political means. It’s very obvious. I hate it because I want local news but can’t have it because you can’t escape the one sided politics from it. Having to delete it unfortunately for these reasons. Tired of seeing it
New design
New design is somewhat confusing and seems to limit ability to just read text of story. Buffers on my phone like internet. Rechecked my notifications settings and only improved slightly. Ads placement is about the same. It has been a better news app for this area over the years but technology changes things.
Need to live stream
There are a bunch of us that don’t live in the area or state and would like to get your news and sports live streamed.
Ads play even when phone is silenced!
I’ve never seen this before. My phone is on silent yet the ads still start playing. Every one of them as soon as they scroll into view. I love the app otherwise. Please fix!
Love getting new/weather!
KNWA delivers!
Not a great app
And by not great, I mean 90% of the time I open it my phone freezes and I spend TEN minutes trying to fix it. Had to delete.
Reasonable notifications, light on news
KNWA does a nice job of pushing really big local news alerts without bombarding you with a dozen alerts per day. That’s actually one of the best things about the app. When I click on a notification, the accompanying video sometimes has more information than the text in the article. This is a bit of a drawback, because I’m often in long meetings where I can’t watch the video, but everyone takes a few minutes to get a drink, stretch their legs, check email (and news, for me). Also, they don’t post many smaller news articles each day, so this isn’t the best source for all local news, just breaking news and weather. It really comes down to what you want, and for me it’s a good balance of breaking local news, but others may find it lacking.
No Live Broadcast option
I am surprised by the lack of innovative change with KNWA. I am not sure if their just broke or do not have the knowledge to implement such a feature. Live News is what is in now with how many Americans receive their news. Other news markets have it and I advise NWA to use their apps to see how nice it is to have such a feature where you are, when you need it.
Great news, sports and weather team but terrible app
I’m a big fan of KNWA but the app is really bad. There is a full page ad, when you first access the site that must be flicked closed to actually reach the site. FULL SCREEN. It is easy to flick the app closed as opposed to closing the ad. The stories are not updated as often as other local news networks. I’ll continue tuning in to KNWA in the evenings but the other online options for local news are better IMO.
Channel 5 news
Actually they give better then any other channel. So they win they get my vote
Seriously poor design
This is now a terrible app from user experience The organization of the prior version much better. Please look at prior version and take its best practices.
Bass Arkansas
I live in a little community call Bass, it southeast of Jasper about 10 miles I appreciate the weather reports and warnings I get from KNWA Living in Rogers for 35 years I still get local news from the area, especially when schools are being reported on since I have grandkids in the Bentonville and PEA Ridge school district. So thanks to You KNWA I can still get news on my iPhone and severe weather alerts.
App crashes
App crashes a lot and kicks you out. Very annoying when I am just trying get the news
Review
I no longer can watch your station because of the ongoing feud with Nexstar vs AT&T. Not very happy with either party. My television watching consists of Ch5, PBS, and Netflix. Your station, if it ever returns, will be on a short leash.
Jaxson
Great news information and always on time. Love it.
Same problem
Not fair and balanced
App rotating
The app is better than the last one but it doesn’t rotate on my phone or tablet when I turn the sideways. If you could fix that it would be appreciated.
Alerts
Just tornado watch. Be able to individually select different weather conditions, flooding & etc.
No Advertisements
This app is the best, I love it that you can watch the video clips of the news without having to watch a commercial before every clip like other station apps are. I’ve started using this app only, just because of that. Thanks, Good Job
Arkansas Football games
Sure wish you would let the game on TV finish before you send out your e-blast. 😡
Best in NWA
Most fluid and least annoying notifications.
Stop with the MLB alerts
Please explain to me how MLB draft is breaking news? That’s the only alert option I have, but I am getting these alerts. It is annoying. Going to start using KFSM app
I stay informed.
Great app on how to keep up with NW Arkansas news and the Razorbacks!
You asked for it
Your news is never complete . You tease just enough to get people you watch and then the plug is pulled
Brilliant
I am very pleased ignore the other reviews and stick with this it is a much better ui and the weather portion is greatly improved the tv seven day is just fine. if you don't want to see that download the KNWA weather authority app
Not very good app
I don’t like this app much because it does not give you enough info about the days weather. It only gives the temperature and I’m not interested in the news just the weather. There is never info about the wind strength or what direction it will be blowing which is important to where we live.
Best news team around
I love knwa app. Since downloading this app. I’m more addictive to the weather and what watch for. I think we have the best weather team around. Dan is always keeping us informed what’s going on with our area or what’s coming our way. I’ve learned a lot from the weather team. The news cast from early morning or evening or weekend they keep us informed. I just want to say BIG THANK YOU !!
Views
Please report the news and let us figure out how to interpret it without interjecting your liberal opinions. You guys have gotten very bad about doing this. There are conservatives who enjoy watching the news as well.
Never update the stories!!
So they will give you a lead story on something. Let’s say an arrest with investigation and at the end they will say. More information coming. So that’s about where they end it. There is never a follow up (ever). And all the news is basically depressing. Why can’t they find some good things to post about. It’s always pretty much bad stuff.
Amazing
Amazing app tells me everything I need to know. Great job guys!
Sick of the unethical reporting
Please report local and state news correctly without heavy emphasis on the Chinese Virus. USA acronym for Wuhan: We Unashamedly Hide Abortion Numbers
App is good but broken
The app is good however, it crashes constantly when opening articles, alerts, and weather information. All video forcast videos are not playable, just images. PLEASE FOX AND THIS APP WILL BE 5 STAR!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
No matter how many times you contact the developers, the app STILL glitches, freezes, jumps all over the place, and jumps back to the beginning. The app is crap.
Cant tell you if it works
This app does not work on iPhone 7plus. There is an error every time i open the app. Also, what about streaming live on the app? I did not read that as one of the features.
Freezes
This app freezes every time I open it within the first 15 seconds. So frustrating.
Live Radar would be better if
The radar would be amazing if they would move the add bar to the top or something to where you could actually hit the play button on the live radar
