User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: many users praise KNWA's local NW Arkansas coverage, timely updates, and convenient video clips without pre-roll ads, plus a useful weather component. However, a large number of reviews highlight serious reliability issues (frequent crashes and freezing), intrusive advertising (full-screen ads, autoplay sounds), a confusing new design, perceived bias in reporting, and limited live streaming/access for non-local viewers. Some users remain loyal for the local content and alerts, but ongoing performance and UX problems threaten continued engagement.

Pros

Strong local NW Arkansas and Razorbacks coverage delivered promptly.
Video clips of the news without pre-roll ads or mandatory ad delay.
Weather information with a reliable KNWA weather app and accurate forecasts.
Focused breaking-news alerts without overwhelming notification volume.
Overall, valuable local content that helps users stay informed.

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and overall instability on launch or during use.
Intrusive advertising, including full-screen ads and autoplay audio.
New design is confusing and makes reading stories harder.
Perceived bias in reporting and incomplete or skewed coverage.
Limited live streaming or content breadth for non-local viewers.

Hate to give this a 1 star but can’t help but do it. These journalist and news are one sided against political means. It’s very obvious. I hate it because I want local news but can’t have it because you can’t escape the one sided politics from it. Having to delete it unfortunately for these reasons. Tired of seeing it

I love the KNWA weather app. Dan Skoff has amazing skills as a meteorologist. I find Dan Skoff’s ability to forecast the weather quite accurate along with the fact that God is ultimately in control ! 😀
