User Reviews

Users praise KBTX News for local, up-to-date reporting and breaking alerts, but repeatedly note an ad-heavy experience with loud, autoplay ads that disrupt reading, plus intrusive notifications and a clunky redesign. Some cite perceived bias and feature gaps. Overall, the content is valued, but the app’s UX and ad-management issues significantly detract.

Pros

Timely breaking local news updates and alerts.
Strong local news coverage for Brazos Valley and reliable local reporting.
Overall usefulness and up-to-date information when not hindered by ads.

Cons

Intrusive, loud, and autoplay video ads that interrupt the app.
Ads interfere with readability and can cause articles to load poorly or appear white.
Excessive push notifications and sounds; difficulty disabling or controlling them (including sports-news alerts).
Poor UX after updates: slow loading, small font, and clunky navigation.
Perceived bias toward left-leaning national outlets.

Recent reviews

The old app was better. Now when you listen to live stream you get more of the commercials than the actual newscast. This app is more confusing. Switching to another app. Sorry KBTX

i often get glitched out of the app, and i am frustrated that when i click a notification to a specific news story, im not taken to it on the app. i have to search it myself. i hope these bugs get fixed.
