User Reviews

User reviews show that KTRE's app is valued for timely local news and is beloved by a loyal daily readership, but users repeatedly report crashes, slow loads, and ads that interfere with reading. The redesigned UI is seen as cluttered and less user-friendly, with missing features and complaints about narrow local coverage. Compatibility with older devices and accessibility concerns add to the frustration. Overall, while many rely on KTRE for staying informed, the experience is hampered by performance, ad-load, and design issues.

Pros

Timely local news updates available on the go.
Loyal, daily user base that reads KTRE and values the app.
Convenient mobile access to local news for staying informed wherever you are.

Cons

Frequent crashes or the app won’t open after updates, with slow loading at times.
Excessive advertising saturates the app and interferes with reading content.
New UI/UX design is not user-friendly; many users prefer the old layout and features.
Limited/local coverage focusing mainly on Tyler/Longview, with scant coverage of other nearby areas.
Compatibility issues with older devices/OS versions (and requests for Android TV compatibility).

Recent reviews

Most irritating controlling version of any app i have used lately.

I don’t believe that y’all keep up with what’s going on in the state of Texas they were just shooting at a truckstop. It took you two days before you poured in hang on it and it happened in Shelby County. Can you do anything? To upgrade your reporting at least keep up with what is going on in this area of Texas.
