5/5Top Notch and not slanted news.
KAAL gives both sides of the news most of the time. I grew tired of watching the Rochester based station that doesn’t even try to present both sides nor does it attempt to keep Iowa and Minnesota together in a unbiased way. The KAAL newscasters are top notch andI really enjoy the return of “ Sunday nite CIndy” the weather girl. I enjoy the live weather even when things don’t go quite right. Keep up the good work.

3/5Improve the radar
Your about 4 stars which is very good. But make it a 5 star and improve the radar so you can see hours ahead and give some control so you can manually scroll the radar and see the time when radar will impact. But most importantly keep the Ads to a minimum like you have been doing👍 I don’t mind have to slide upwards on my screen when I first open the app that’s totally fine. The thing to stay away from is the all of a sudden pop up ads while clicking on different functions and navigating in the app. The weather channel app seems to do that which is so annoying. Your on the right path just a few improvements.

5/5Informative, Entertaining, User friendly
I always turn to ABC6 when I want current, accurate news. I've had many times when I actually laugh out loud at the forecast one liners. Well done! The app is simple, runs smoothly, and great functionality. Love the radar.

5/5Solid info
I go to this site for local news and am not disappointed. I can also get the weather here when other sites are having trouble.

5/5I like it.
I got this app to keep up with school closings and have been satisfied so far. I also enjoy the news updates and weather updates for my area.
