User Reviews

User reviews largely point to frustrations with K8 News - KAIT on Apple devices. The biggest recurring issues are intrusive ads and pop-ups, slow performance and occasional crashes, and notification issues (badges that won’t clear or alerts that don’t match posted stories). Many find navigation cumbersome, making live broadcasts or recent coverage hard to access. A minority note that updates can improve speed and usability, and the app remains a relied-upon local news source for some residents despite the issues.

Pros

Keeps users informed with local/breaking news and safety alerts.
Some users report improved navigation and faster performance after updates.
Longstanding local news app relied upon by residents for staying updated.

Cons

Ad-heavy experience with frequent pop-ups and banners, including repeated company ads.
Slow performance: long load times, buggy UI, and occasional crashes.
Notifications not clearing or syncing properly, causing persistent badges or lost alerts.
Crashes, blank screens, or instability when opening stories.
Difficult navigation and hard-to-find live/newscast options on the home screen.

This latest update is awful. Slow, tons of ads, buggy, awful UI.

Almost without fail, kait news broadcasts incidents and stores with a tag line “ for more information go onto the kait news app” What a joke, seldom if ever anything is ever added and several times original story is deleted. Subject line searches are inept
