  1. 5/5Crash crash crash then Ads Ads Ads - Horrible

    You can’t do anything anymore on this new app without watching an ad. KVUE was my favorite source of local news until the app changed. I’m going to have to switch to KXAN. Their app is still the old format where it was easier to get to everything. With this new app, the “Watch” at the bottom of the app is not intuitive. Then half the time when you click on it, it crashes. And then when it does happen to work, don’t click on anything because you’ll get an ad. As a software developer myself I am appalled at how little planning went into the layout of this app. :-(

  2. 2/5Frustrated!!

    I love KVUE news, the TV, apps and any other way to watch this news channel. I’m a dedicated 20+ years viewer, as a emergency responder, KVUE is always there to give city employees a chance to explain why things may have problems. The other news outlets in Austin are extremely quick to blame police fire and EMS if were trying to work through a issue. I’m FRUSTRATED with the constant ads and pop ups, I know you have to get funds in the door, do you have a paid version of KVUE news? It’s gotten to many interruptions. I can’t give you a 1 star because I truly feel you guys give a fair and balanced view of the news. I can always watch and know there will be at least 1 positive story. But 2 stars is it, I’m now starting to look for other ways to get local news from some other outlet on my phone, with less ads and shorter commercials (for the web) sorry guys, I’ll stick around to see if anyone replies or can tell me where to go for a add free version.

  3. 3/5Thank you for local austin news

    I’m grateful that I get updates about current events in Austin. Thank you. I don’t watch the news because it’s repetitive, full of commercials and bloated weather segments. I get my daily weather in 30 seconds on my phone and don’t waste my time. I’m giving 3 stars because of the app. If I get breaking news and go to investigate, I’m met immediately with commercials. If I want to resize or hit pause there are more commercials. Nope, not going to wait. The interface could be clear and streamlined, but it’s not. Give me a chance to scroll to big sections of interest - local news, local events, crime, politics and voting. That type of thing. I’d also appreciate the chance to go by date as well so I can see yesterday’s events. Thanks again for the news. Please evolve the app.

  4. 5/5KVUE keep me up to date

    I truly enjoy my KVUE app on my phone, it keeps me up to date with all of the important news. When I travel to different cities I still want to know want is going on in my area. The morning team is a joy to wake up too and the evening news has just the right chemistry. I must say the investigative segments are my favorites, we love how they dig deep and even come back with updates for the viewers so we will know the final outcome. So keep up the good work KVUE, you are the BEST NEWS STATION in Austin, Tx! E. West

  5. 3/5Please remove ads prior to COVID news

    I sent an email earlier this year on this subject but I didn’t receive a response. With regard to COVID-related news, especially at the beginning of this year when we had to stay at home, I felt it was very insensitive of KVUE to run commercial advertisements prior to watching important news reports on the pandemic. Majority of people had to stay at home, lots of folks lost their jobs, couldn’t pay mortgage/rent, car payment, bills, food, etc., and worried about their family and friends. I wanted to learn everything I could about COVID. We relied on KVUE to bring up to date information and y’all did a great job of reporting but for the commercials. It was such a great idea to run commercials about buying a new car. I’m sure the majority of viewers had more important things on their minds than buying a car. I’m sure the car dealership who paid for the spots would’ve understood the reason to not run it just on COVID news. During inclement weather, you don’t cut for commercial breaks on television, so why do you have to online? I guess I’m not understanding your way of thinking.
