User Reviews

Reviews overwhelmingly criticize KTUU's Alaska News Source app for an ad-heavy, distracting experience and a persistent notification badge. Many report performance problems—glitches, slow loading, and freezing—and content issues like unreadable headlines, mid-article ads, and duplicated content. A common grievance is biased coverage. Missing features (evening news, live broadcasts) and onboarding/navigation issues also appear. A minority note some positives: local plus national coverage and fast breaking news updates.

Pros

Mix of local and national news coverage.
Fast/breaking news updates.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads, including mid-article placements and frequent pop-ups.
Persistent red notification badge that cannot be dismissed or easily managed.
Glitches, slow loading, and overall performance problems.
Perceived bias or one-sided coverage.
Poor readability and navigation due to UI changes and ad clutter (hard to read headlines, ads in the middle, duped content).

Recent reviews

Doesn’t work. The advertisement keeps repeating. Close it and it opens back up. Deleted the app. Reinstalled. Same result.

This app is a mess. I use it to watch the Anchorage news but the app doesn’t make it easy. It isually will not resume streaming after commercials, requiring one to guess when the ads are over and restart the app to get back to programming. It often will switch from the program you to one of their other features. And every time, you have to sit through the Peoplemover ad. It’s frustrating to use.

The 3.0.2 version is next to useless. I know you folks need to sell adds, but one pops up every moment, it seems, so it’s nearly impossible to find anything. The weather link doesn’t open, and scrolling through the list just opens advertisements! Might need to follow the lead by Dish, and just delete the app.
