User Reviews

KAKE News on iOS is plagued by stability and performance problems since recent updates. Users report the app often won’t open or loads stories slowly, with spinning wheels and crashes. Content often fails to refresh, and notifications don’t reliably link to the correct article. The experience is further degraded by intrusive ads—full-screen popups and video ads that disrupt reading. The new layout and navigation feel confusing, with missing back buttons. A few users still praise a clean, easy-to-use interface and useful news alerts, but overall reliability and editorial quality appear to be major concerns.
Pros
  • Clean, not fussy and easy-to-use interface
  • Useful news alerts/notifications
  • When it works, the app can feel smooth and responsive
Cons
  • Frequent crashes / won’t open / loading issues after updates
  • Intrusive ads, including full-screen pop-ups and ad-heavy videos
  • Content loading/refresh problems: articles not loading or stuck spinning, not refreshing
  • New layout/navigation is confusing or not intuitive (missing back button)
  • Perceived bias or poor editorial quality / clickbait headlines

Sure hope KAKE Finally fixes All the Major Problems they’ve had, for years now. Showing Only Southcentral Kansas is wrong! Not everyone Lives there. I’ve called KAKE many times about These mistakes. Nothing had been done to Fix them.

Give us an option to disable playing the current weather audio. It’s annoying when opening the app and first thing you hear is current weather in audio.

Why does this app not load any of the articles?? It used to be a good app but you can’t even use it now. It shows the articles but when you tap on one to read it, it just spins and spins. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and checking for an update and nothing works!
