  1. 5/5Outstanding app

    Outstanding Performance. Able to keep up with the news, and local news coverage. I’m always looking forward to hearing about what is going on in the community.

  2. 1/5Updated news app

    Your old app was redundant but this new updated version gives redundancy a whole new name. I literally hate the new format you have chosen. I see the same stories 3 to 4 time at least as I scroll and scroll and scroll trying to read the news. Take a look at any other news app. You can see all the stories at a glance and older stories are kept for a bit near the end. Very easy to see and get to what you want to read. I don’t need for you to make each story headline the size of my entire screen. If someone needs Very Large pic and print size they can control that on their device. You don’t even have a link for the weather anymore. I found it by clicking on the temp in the corner but it only gives hour by hour. What happened to 10 day forecast. Ya’ll really need to fix this mess. It looks like some child made this. I plan to delete your app unless you can update it to a more pleasing format. I’ve already deleted your app off of one of my devices.

  3. 3/5Requested in-app tracking

    The new app seems to be okay, except for two things: 1) At the start of first use, it asked me to enable in-app tracking, and wouldn’t allow the setup to continue until I enabled it. “Allow Apps to Request to Track” is disabled by default in iOS, and the KCBD app doesn’t show up in the list of apps that have requested to track, so I don’t know if I really enabled tracking, and; 2) After tapping on an article, the new app presents an ad, then allows you to continue on to the story (just like the Texas Storm Chasers app - is this from the same app provider?), but unlike the TSC app, a new ad appears every time the screen refreshes, even while in the same article. Pretty annoying, really.

  4. 2/5Constant freezing

    I love KCBD and we live in the country. I cannot get their news even with my digital antenna. So we depend on watching the news in the morning on the app. The app is very frustrating because it either won’t load, it freezes, or sometimes you can see a picture without a sound. It just seems like I fiddle with it way more than I should have to. And let’s talk about the commercials… If I hear one more Sonic commercial is going to make me want to hate to go to Sonic even more! The ads have gotten better lately but there still so much redundancy!

  5. 2/5Disappointed, once again.

    My old KCBD app worked fine, but I received a reminder to update the app many months ago. Since that time, when there is a news or weather alert on the new app, it fails to load. Simply too much click bait, and just to find local news, you have to open and scroll to local news. Toss the app and go back to a easier way of providing local area news, weather and sports and not , NBC or MSB. Thank you
