User Reviews

Users broadly criticize KWCH 12 News for intrusive, frequent ads—often auto-playing video ads that play sound—right as they open stories, along with a flood of banners. Many report the app crashing or showing grey/blank screens after ads, especially after updates, and a clunky, hard-to-read UI with a microscopic font and extra steps to navigate. Push notifications for breaking news are seen as useful, and the app remains a needed source for local news and weather for some rural users who lack alternatives. Overall, users want the old layout back or a cleaner, more reliable experience.

Pros

Provides essential access to local news and weather (especially for rural areas without cable or antenna options).
Push notifications for breaking news are a useful feature.

Cons

Ads are excessive and intrusive, including frequent banners, pop-ups, and long ads.
Auto-playing videos with sound on opening or tapping stories, with no effective mute option.
App stability issues: frequent crashes and grey/blank screens after ads; content sometimes fails to load.
Poor UX after updates: small font, clunky layout, and harder navigation (more clicks, reduced swipe convenience).
Support/contact options are unreliable (difficulty contacting support; contact links sometimes blank).

Recent reviews

KWCH new app doesn’t work. No soundtrack on video. I like the printed version to go with since I can’t always listen to the audio. The old app was much more user friendly. I’m ready to delete this app if it stays the way it is now.
