User Reviews

Users praise the app for strong local coverage, easy navigation, frequent updates, and useful breaking alerts, often preferring it to KSBW. However, recurring drawbacks include aggressive ads with phishing-like behavior, limited weekend/local news updates, an aging UI and competing app versions, unreliable or duplicated push notifications, and perceived national-news bias.

Pros

Strong local Monterey–Salinas news focus and up-to-date coverage
Easy-to-use interface with fast loading and straightforward navigation
Frequent story updates and timely local reporting
Local breaking news alerts and timely notifications
Better experience than KSBW and a community-focused feel

Cons

Aggressive in-app ads, with phishing-like behavior in some ads
Not enough local news content or updates, especially on weekends
Outdated UI/formatting and multiple app versions leading to a dated feel
Push notifications are noisy/duplicated or unreliable
Perceived bias in national reporting (re-broadcasts of CNN)

If I could give zero stars I would!!! Somehow, KION thinks Monterey County News is not important anymore to Carmel, Monterey, Seaside,Salinas,Gonzales,King City, etc. Please change your format BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
