Sharing/link issues and broken notification links.
Inconsistent live-stream experience (missing full broadcasts, and wrong regional live feed).

2026-04-27	*****	No news for current day; search keeps going blank while typing subject; site jumps & blinks. I updated the app & even restarted my phone. Did not help. I don't like this news app nor the radar on updated weather app. Was SO much better the changes.

2026-04-18	Jo*****	both kplc apps (weather and news) are rife with spam, virus infiltrated ads, and junk. Whoever maintains the 2 apps needs to take a look at what has taken them over..All the junk has made the apps unsafe and almost unusable.
