5/5Thank you for today!
I have watched Channel 2 News for more than 40 years and I have always enjoyed and respected the newscasters with the network. Your work has been impeccable and you make sure every major story is covered. I enjoy watching Dominique and Bill and when one is off it just doesn’t seem right. Thank you for your work and thank you to Frank and Randy too! There are two things that I would like to see you try: 1) a feel good story instead of just all the heavy hitters and 2) quit putting the “killers/bad guys” face on the air every time - one time is enough - then the focus is on the right person instead of the wrong one. Thank you KPRC2!

1/5Lazy news, more of a “gossip magazine” You see at check out
Wow a lot like most news organizations and Salon they provide just enough of a title so that you’ll click on it and their new stories are usually on point but liking entirely in information or in-depth coverage of most things. Then to make it worse it’s like they just have ad after ad after ad after ad On their other new stories you would click on from the one you’re reading which are almost always more of a gossip columns an actual news. I’ve never been impressed with his news channel and I am far less impressed with their app, but the app is just a symptom of poor management or marketing and just a clear indicator of the culture and goals of what they bring to the table as a story and makes it pretty much impossible to believe any of their articles are entirely biased because when you lie or lie by omission about small things who knows what else you are lying about. Personally I like KHOU better they have much more in-depth coverage of the news the only thing I like about KPRC is the weather alerts are helpful literally everything else is garbage.

5/5Great content with one complaint
I love the app but sometimes when I get a notification I don’t see the story that piped up even sometimes when I press on the notification I can’t find the story it would be nice if this was fixed other than that thank you developers and programmers and whoever on marketing suggested this also could you add a conversation option would love to inform or update stories if source is credible or even console fellow houstonian if possible

1/5Worst Ads in a News App
This was my go-to news app for years. I trusted their content and it was easy to use. However, they have since single-handedly ruined their app with a recent update. They have added ads at every level. This is the ONLY news app that will push an ad prior to clicking on a headline. It’s obnoxious and shows profit before news and community awareness. For example, an urgent alert was pushed to my phone stating law enforcement requests the community’s help in identifying a murder suspect on the run. Click the link and they push a video ad first. How many people are going to cancel out of the ad before getting to the news alert thus decreasing the exposure of the info? The optics are very bad on this one KPRC. Find a way to generate advert income (like all the other news apps) without compromising the safety of our community and their engagement.

1/5App reliably plays ads, but not the story I click on
Why is it that the app loads ads quickly every time, but the news stories take forever to load? Too often, it takes so long to see the news story that I end up going elsewhere to try to find it. Also, the app is incredibly cluttered with stories that are organized counterintuitively into sections that make it hard to find the story I’m looking for. (I wonder if anyone has counted the number of stories contained in the app at a particular time. There must be over 500. Why not organize them into an Archive section and keep current stories prioritized such that they’ll actually load and play?)
