User Reviews
Pros
- High-quality, consistent local news, weather and sports coverage.
- Local-focused app that serves KFVS12 viewers well.
- Well-designed user interface with timely push alerts.
- Fast updates and notifications across reviews.
Cons
- Frequent stability and reliability issues across devices (phones, TV, Fire Stick): crashes, freezes, or failure to launch.
- Playback and navigation bugs (can't watch previous newscasts; live broadcast opens instead of article; link sharing not working; sound issues after logout).
- Perceived bias in coverage (left-leaning bias) across multiple reviews.
- Installation/launch problems (app disappearing from home screen or requiring reinstall).
Recent reviews
Most news stories don't go into enough details,more information or background would help. And sometimes when your scrolling through and reading the news articles,the page will accidentally skip to the next story before you're done.

Please, please, please put the app back the way it was before this new update. I have never had as much trouble watching the live news as I have now, it's awful. I have to stab at the kfvs tab several times to finally get it to play. When it does come on, it sometimes plays a couple of programs simultaneously and won't shut off unless I turn my phone off and start again. The closed caption icon does not actually turn the caption off, it just keeps going. These are just a few things, please fix.
