User Reviews

The KHON2 News app shows strong value in its timely breaking-news push notifications and some brand loyalty for local Honolulu coverage. However, users repeatedly cite pervasive ads, unreliable live streams, and irritating notification links that don’t lead to full articles. Performance issues (freezes, navigation) and concerns about bias or clickbait further detract from the experience. Overall, core functionality (alerts) works for some, but ad clutter and live-content access are major pain points.

Pros

Timely, breaking-news push notifications that many users rely on.
Some users view KHON2 as a trusted local news source for Honolulu and appreciate staying connected to island news.
Push notifications are generally considered fast and helpful for staying updated on current events when functioning properly.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads that hinder viewing and reading (ads between paragraphs, video ads, pop-ups).
Unreliable live streaming and access issues (delays, sign-up requirements to view live broadcasts, and content often not truly live).
Notifications often misdirect to TV schedules or live feeds instead of the article, making it hard to read the full story.
App performance problems like freezing/crashing and difficult navigation.
Perceived bias and clickbait in headlines/notifications, suggesting political slant or sensational content.

When I click on watch now or livestream or watch living808 it stops playing randomly and asks to reload page. It just ends up playing the same ads over and over and you never get to see the content.
