User Reviews

Users praise KRCR News Channel 7 for timely local news, strong weather updates and alerts, helpful push notifications, and a clean, organized design that keeps them informed across the North State. However, recurring complaints include intrusive ads, limited landscape viewing, and frequent video/audio issues, along with concerns that local coverage isn’t as thorough as hoped and certain sections (sports, weekend updates) aren’t current. Some stability problems (freezing, occasional connectivity/search issues) and dislikes of layout changes also appear. Overall, users want fewer ads, better local focus, reliable playback, and more viewing options.

Pros

Timely local news coverage and updates, especially during emergencies like fires.
Strong weather updates and weather alerts.
Helpful push notifications for quick, up-to-date information.
Well-organized, visually pleasing layout and easy navigation.
Broad North State/local coverage that keeps the wider region informed.

Cons

Intrusive ads and high ad density between articles.
Lack of landscape orientation support; app only works in portrait.
Video/audio playback issues; no sound on videos.
Perceived gaps in local coverage, with some areas/sections underrepresented or outdated (e.g., sports or Chico focus).
Stability and usability problems, including freezing, occasional connectivity issues, and difficulty locating articles.

This app was fine for checking out our local news but they started allowing advertising inserted between every few articles. Now it’s become raunchy with titles such as “see this woman who wears see-thru shirts…” Really KRCR?! We’re looking for local news, not smut!
