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

No audio for Pastor each Sun. Now for 6 months; commercial timing off track and goes over/overlaps program. Ch 9 news no Audio for Weather and no audio for Sports; black screens sometimes program doesn't come back on, etc. yet network does nothing about!

App closes, screen always goes blank while scrolling through stories or when trying to open stories. Have to frequently reopen app or give up and read story on another news app.
