Champions Tritons
So good to see the Triton’s Champions on film this morning. Theses kids work really hard to attain this goal. It appears that one of the players flashed what looks like a gang sign. Please review film shown at about 6:15 this morning. Number 63 holds his hand up with fingers poised. I hope this is not so. Sports need to be free of outside influences. Congratulation to the team.
Left leaning channel
Keyt needs to serve the interests of all county members and is doing a disservice to members are not progressive democrats. We prefer to watch news from SLO in terms of their reporting and reporters.

App
I had this app on phone and then it disappeared. I now I can’t download this app.
No news for two weeks?
This has been a good app for about a year for me, and has been one of three apps I read each morning. But after three weeks without a single new international story, I lost faith in it and I’m replacing it with another. It made me feel like I couldn’t rely on it for news any longer.
Excellent News App
I am not sure what these other folks are referring to with their negative reviews. They probably have an old version. The app was updated in Aug. 2017 This latest KEYT/KCOY/KKFX app version is excellent. Navigation and page loads are fast. Videos play perfectly. I urge you to give it a try.
HORRIBLE
Horrible
Up to date
Really enjoy local updates
Liberal propaganda
Does post important local news BUT it prioritizes fake or misleading liberal political news. And the worst part is that none of it is local. App also is not a good choice for immediate breaking news. The app seems to be their last priority in terms of all of their news outlets.
Ads can’t be removed
I would pay a couple bucks to get rid of ads, but that doesn’t seem to be an option
Realy good!
Yes
Suspicious
This used to work with my cellular service then it stopped then I use a VPN and I used to get the news again now I no longer get thisThere’s something really fishy about this are you screening people are actually trying to access your news apart from signing in😡
Local news
Ok app. I like that it's local.
Junk
Worked fine until the new update now you can't even open the app crashes every time junk.yep are you guys want to do is compress and save a buck worst local news app I've ever had on my phone
what happened?
Used to work but now... 2 minutes into live streaming the news it cuts out Even reading a news article - no video - is abruptly over - black screen - before i have got through a few sentences... If there is an upgrade needed i am or seeing g it... What’s UP with this APP?
Pappa
I am former Vent co longtime resident now living in NW Montana. Kids and Grandkids still here. Son and son in law are wild land firefighters. I can keep current in everything happening on Central Coast. I recommend everyone get this app.
Privacy concern
The app is reading content from the iOS clipboard for no apparent reason.
Brenda McCall
There the greatest. My previous review hasn't changed.
Ads ads ads
Used to be a great app for getting local news updates. Now it's filled with both pop up ads and more ads intermingled with the news articles. Just report the news!
No Apple Watch sync
The local ad said to pair the app with your smart watch, but there is no way to do that. I can't figure out a way to contact them, either, to see if I'm doing something wrong.
Channel 3
Can always count on channel 3 news for the most accurate and up-to-date news stories and forecast!
What happened to Live Streaming!!??
Page not found error message when selected
Generally excellent. Needs consistent precision in dating.
This is first app I go to keep up on news. However you fail to begin each article with date and hour. Many traffic incidents are covered but it is useless if you don't know how current. Example: if a major freeway is closed and you are traveling you can go around: but why bother if it happened yesterday?
Not to bad
... the content is sparce but it is local... So I got to give it a pass. There are very annoying large white patches where I assume ads would go... that turn on Safari when you try to scroll past them. The site needs work. Kill off those large white patches, make them less sensitive... and at least honor those who paid for them with loading their content. I'd want my money back if I paid for them.
Notifications/support
So, I get a notification. I click on it. Then it just shows me a homepage, with no info on how to link to that notice I just received! I hit "customer support" instead of "rate this app" first, to avoid having to say all this (maybe I just need help figuring out how to do this right. Surely you're not blocking this info on purpose! But HOW?) NOT helpful in how I may link onto the notifications! Who can help me, or fix this issue?
Excellent job
First class reporting. Excellent job!!
Speed up the updates
I can hear fireworks in my backyard...is there anything in this app that tells my or warned me what is going on... no. As always, late to deliver the news. And when they get back to you they tell meto inform them because they rely on the community... great reporting people! I already have a job I'm hoping you will do yours. Need to be more quick on updates. Other stations come up with alerts faster than this one. Add more details, as well. Other than that, we enjoy all the people working there! Thanks!
Great News Coverage but Excessive Alerts
Great local news and weather coverage! While I appreciate up-to-date news coverage, I don't appreciate the excessive and repetitive alerts.
What is going on with triple notifications???!!
His was a great app for getting a quick notification for wavy is going on in our area until about a month ago when we started getting triple notification!! Not the app is just annoying!! Please fix this issue!!!
Great notifications
Their news notifications have been great for both breaking local and national news.
Great for keeping me up to date
I love being able to get the recent news as it is happening
Agree with other reviewer, app crashing!!
Rats!! This news app used to work really well. Now stories cannot be touched to scroll without crashing. Rotten timing, too, when the Whittier Fire is affecting our area so much in SB County!! I would have liked to contact the developers and let them know about the issues, but there isn't any way to contact them. Hope this is fixed soon. Wish KCOY was still independent so I could still have a reliable source for local news. A monopoly makes it tough to get more locally based services and information. Not good.
Good app
Thumbs up
Crashes
I enjoy reading the news on this app but it crashes 1-3 times while I read.
New app
The KEYT news app needs updating - storylines should be linked if there is a follow on from an earlier story. FYI - months back a Hit & Run occurred killing transient person. This person was struck and killed while attempting to cross a two-lane divided Highway. Rather then crossing at the bridge 1/2 mile away. No follow -up on the storylines such as this one: • Why are people attempting to cross a fenced Highway. • Any leads on the Auto that was involved? • Was the victim ever ID. •What has caused flourishing homeless / transient population along the 101 corridor. • What are the short ands long term issue associated with not addressing the rise in the homeless population. News is not updated very often. Some storylines remain up for days if not weeks at a time. Sorry to say I'm not very impressed with KEYT's app - this criticism has more to do with reporting events - then the app itself.
Local and national news
Gives me notifications on both local and national news and has in depth stories on the local. Sometimes I get too many notifications about areas in the county that don't concern me but it's ok.
Just the ads
Nothing but ads. Very hard to see news or weather. Just pop up ads
Localnews
It's an ok app, pretty local stuff. Kind of wish there was more news on it, But still local
Informative app
Have to depend on KEYT app & website for news since TWC stopped carrying KEYT news.
Bad
Need to fix the notifications to click on them and go to articles it's bs never goes to them and the videos never work plz fix!!!!
Ok
News is not as current as it should be.
KEYT
I'm a local truck driver here in the Ventura, Santa Barbara area and your frequent traffic and local news alerts makes my long days a lot easier,,thanks for the great info that I use everyday !!!
Unable to Use
I have been unable to complete the download and also unable to delete. The app is stuck in limbo. I tried contacting KEYT but did not get a response.
Multiple Alerts unnecessary
Pretty good, in general, but I have my phone set up to receive alerts - One alert is all that's needed it for some reason ( three local stations sharing the app?) I receive 3 - one for each station. Please fix this glitch - it's quite annoying.
