1. 5/5Share things that are helpful to someone in the community

   I have asked several times for this station to share something and still nothing . I guess we are not the right color is what I feel . I asked for them to share about a missing man from red lake and would they ? No and guess what he was found dead in woods foul play . Then asked if they would share a go fund me for a lady who was shot in head and has children to see if we could get some help for her to keep her apartment while she recovers she has two children. So this station in my opinion shares what they want . We are not famous or live in suburbs and not white

2. 2/5Best in Twin Cities, but still bad app

   Let me start with the good things: KSTP seems to report the most “news” of any local station and generally does not report opinions and speculation, like some of the other stations. Copper 5 footage can be watched live and raw through the app when an event is happening, which is by far the most unique and best feature of the app. Ads are generally short and can often be skipped, which means I can actually spend some time on the app before I get to annoyed by ads and cannot watch anymore. This has all the makings of a 5-star app, but: It is incredibly annoying that when you open a news app to read the news, the first thing you need to do is click on a button “more news” to actually see the articles. I believe most users open up this app for news and it should open to the news. Then maybe tabs across the top to switch to other things like weather. Or, have a “dashboard/home” button and let the user decide how to start the app in settings. When you are reading a story, close the app for a minute or so, and open again, the app restarts instead of coming back to that story. Horrible design. You cannot copy/paste more than one paragraph at a time. Also annoying when you want to send part of a story to a friend who isn’t going to click on a web link to see it. Otherwise a decent app, but mainly needs an option to open directly to the news!

3. 4/5To the channel 5 News casts:

   Channel 5, KSTP has exceptional news coverage! The reporters and ALL Anchor News people make this by far the best station to watch!!!! The morning group: Chris Evert, Megan Newquist, Ken Barlowe, and Josie Smith are my favorites to watch, as they start out my days! But all of the others are wonderful too, and the field reporters are awesome too! I love listening to Joe Mazan and his SO MINNESOTA, and the clever puns that he uses in his reports!! ❤️ A lot of people i know, don't want to listen to the news all of the time because there seems to be so much sadness and hatred in reports but i want to be informed of things going on especially Local News. I care to know. The “ KARE” and consideration; thoughtfulness of the reporters and Anchors helps so much in their delivery to make news heard in a needed way. Thank you for being there! All of the TEAM PEOPLE❣️❣️😀

5. 2/5App update

   Well, the malicious banner ad pop ups stopped. So that is good. And I guess at least adding the little “ad” logo on the ads makes it better, even if every ad is still clickbait crap. I know ads pay for the app, but I still hate seeing a “news” app littered with misleading clickbait links every couple of stories. But now I have to see an ad picture of someone removing earwax between each article. I think I am done Besides that, and more of a general thing than just the app, please hire writers that can use proper grammar and please hire real editors. The number of paragraphs cut off short, typos and examples of poor writing is embarrassing for a “news” outlet. Don’t worry, Kare 11 is just as bad. Makes me ignore half the local news. Being first out with stories should not come before being accurate and actually proof reading the content.
