## Review summary

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However, multiple reviews converge on major flaws: a flood of push notifications, frequent redirects to the App Store, outdated content, intrusive ads, and poor landscape support, which undermine usability and trust in the app.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).
