User Reviews

The KATV News app is valued for local-news access and live streaming on mobile, and is used daily by some users, with decent iPad performance reported. However, multiple reviews converge on major flaws: a flood of push notifications, frequent redirects to the App Store, outdated content, intrusive ads, and poor landscape support, which undermine usability and trust in the app.

Pros

Provides local news coverage for the area via the KATV News app.
Offers live streaming of KATV broadcasts on mobile devices.
Widely used as a daily go-to source for local news.
iPad version is reported to work well.

Cons

Excessive push notifications (50–100 per day) and difficulty disabling them.
Frequent redirects to the App Store for games when opening the app.
Content often not up-to-date; stories are days old and updates are infrequent.
Intrusive ads and an ad-heavy interface that overshadow content.
Poor landscape/orientation support on tablets (no landscape mode or rotating issues).

Recent reviews

It used to be a good news app but recently over the past couple of weeks has been sending push messages about every headline in the nation. I am talking about 50 to 100 a day. I can’t get it to stop so deleting.

Disappointed. I lost all respect for KATV 7 news when they started pandering to racist bigots. In the past they didn’t allow the large population of racist and bigoted Arkansans to affect their reporting. I don’t know why they decided not hurting people’s feelings was more important than reporting the news. I expect this from fox but thought KATV 7 was above such disgusting behavior. Shame on you channel 7. I hope David Bazzel goes back to channel 4. He’s the only one of you with integrity.
