User Reviews

Overall, users value KOAT Action 7 News for mobile accessibility and reliable local coverage, often citing it as a go-to source and cross-device streaming option. However, frequent complaints center on intrusive ads and ad breaks during live streams, plus bugs that cause stories to close or load slowly. Weather data can be inaccurate or mis-located, and UI updates have made reading harder with large fonts and layout glitches. Despite improvements, these recurring issues limit the app’s usability for many users.

Recent reviews

I find the articles to be informative and timely. But…just about everything I click on to read requires waiting for an ad to be viewed. Some of these ads can be dismissed fairly promptly, but some take take way too long to show a “skip” button. I don’t look at ads anyway, so “I” skip these annoying articles.

I wish when you see breaking news on your phone and another news reel comes across…you only get to click on ONE!! That part I don’t like. I wish I could click on each one and read each one.
