User Reviews

Users praise WHO 13 for free live local Iowa news and consider it a must-have for Des Moines residents, with some loyalty enduring outages. Main downsides are intrusive ads, long ad times, and an ad-heavy home feed slowing navigation. Repeated issues also include unstable live streaming, frequent crashes or black screens, and weak video controls (no rewind/scrub, autoplay disrupts reading). Occasional problems with content organization and weather data exist but are less common. Overall, it offers valuable local news, but ads and playback stability require major improvements.

Pros

Free app to watch live local Iowa news.
Strong Des Moines/Iowa focus; many users say it's a trusted, favorite station.
Convenient to have news on mobile, including during power outages.
Loyal users have switched from other outlets and appreciate this app's coverage.

Cons

Intrusive, ad-heavy experience with large ads and an ad-driven home screen that disrupts navigation.
Unreliable live streaming: frequent crashes, won't start after updates, or cuts out mid-story.
Poor video controls: no rewind/scrub, autoplay disrupts reading, and no full-screen option in the latest version.
App stability issues: occasional black screens, freezes, and crashes during use.

“Tornado in your area watch now - after this ad! “

I understand that advertising is required to make things profitable. But it’s so easy to touch the giant ads on the screen that your instantly taken to the webpage and have to constantly go back to the app. Kcci doesn’t do this. Be like kcci. I never understand why companies make things difficult for users, it doesn’t make you want to use your app.
