User Reviews

KTLA's news content and anchors are valued, but mobile app reviews consistently flag reliability issues. Repeating themes include audio dropouts, persistent video playback problems, intrusive ads, mandatory sign-in via Nexstar, and frequent crashes. Despite loyalty to KTLA's coverage, these friction points undermine the app experience and push some users toward alternatives.

Pros

High-quality news coverage and trusted anchors.
Strong brand loyalty and viewer trust in KTLA.
Live morning news is accessible via the app.

Cons

Audio cuts out or fades repeatedly during streams.
Excessive, unskippable ads disrupt viewing and can cause playback issues.
Mandatory sign-in with Nexstar/MyNextstar and email verification creates friction.
Frequent crashes, freezes, or unresponsive behavior requiring restarts.
Mobile live video access can be unreliable or fail to load.

Recent reviews

I love KTLA morning news, so I keep hoping the glitches will get fixed, but every morning I am frustrated because the volume cuts in and out and clips end abruptly giving a video reload error message. I then have to go back to the main page, which means I have to watch ads all over again, missing content in the process. Please fix these glitches!

Your app stops playing and a black screen with the following message comes up: video playback error - reload - it happens all the time - please fix it 🙏

Worst app. Audio cuts out every few seconds and so many commercials. Then was desperate enough to watch the online version, that’s even worse. Can’t get any complete news story on either platform. I’m looking for a new station that is more reliable. That’s too bad because I really enjoy the morning anchors.
