User Reviews

Users appreciate KRON4 News for its reliable local reporting, especially during emergencies, and its live streaming and notification features. However, common issues include frequent app freezes, intrusive auto-playing ads without control options, notification failures, and content accessibility restrictions. These problems hinder user experience despite the app's valuable news coverage.

Pros

Provides timely and relevant local news coverage, especially during emergencies like fires and floods.
Includes live streaming and video content that users find convenient for on-the-go updates.
Push notifications keep users informed about breaking news.
Generally appreciated for its reporting quality and emotional engagement during crises.

Cons

App frequently freezes or crashes, often getting stuck on the logo screen when opened from notifications.
Auto-playing videos and audio advertisements are intrusive and lack user control, causing annoyance and forcing users to close the app.
Notifications often fail to open directly to the intended story, requiring users to manually search for content.
Subscription model limits free access despite availability on TV, disappointing users expecting free app content.
User interface issues such as disappearing articles before completion and problems with video playback and full-screen mode.

Recent reviews

Opens to a greyed out screen, nothing works so you have to close and relaunch. Then maybe it works. It's been like this for months

What's happening with the app?! For the past months, when getting a notification and clicking on it...the app doesn't open. Just gets stuck at the logo screen. Fix it please!
