User Reviews

Top positives are dark mode and accurate weather forecasts, with some users trusting KAIT8 as a local-news source. The most common drawbacks across reviews are ad-heavy exposure, frequent crashes or load problems, auto-playing videos, a less readable new UI compared to the old format, and misalignment of local news content. Overall, dark mode and weather help, but ad load and stability remain the main complaints.

Pros

Dark mode support is a clear positive and is welcomed by multiple users.
Weather information/forecast accuracy is valued and praised by several reviewers.

Cons

Excessive ads and ad-heavy experience, including long ad breaks at startup and on stories.
Stability issues: crashes, freezes, and the app sometimes exiting unexpectedly.
Auto-playing videos: videos autoplay and users want control to stop them.
New UI/format identified as harder to read and less user-friendly than the old version.
Local news relevance/timing issues: content not always aligned with user locality or correctly targeted.

Recent reviews

This app is genuinely going to get people hurt because it won't play any video or stream. How a news Station couldn't hire a more competent app dev company is beyond me. hopefully this gets fixed before it gets someone killed.

This app is totally useless. Installed this on my Roku TV and cannot play any of our local news casts or weather casts. After a few minutes, the app shuts off and returns me to my Roku home screen. I have reinstalled the app several times with no success. Removed it and will rely on the app on my phone.
