User Reviews

User reviews for KEYT Santa Barbara, SLO News show strong appreciation for local coverage and helpful notifications, but frequent ads, instability (crashes/loading/video), questionable content focus, and notification/link issues are common complaints. Install problems and perceived bias toward non-local news further harm reliability. Overall, locals value the local reporting and alerts when the app works, but stability and content focus gaps are the primary drawbacks.

Pros

Strong local coverage for the Central Coast; users value regular local news updates.
Notifications are useful for breaking local and national news.
When functioning, the app can load quickly and deliver video playback smoothly (per positive experiences when it works).

Cons

Intrusive and persistent ads; users want an option to remove ads.
Frequent stability issues: crashes, long loading times, and videos failing to play.
Content quality concerns: claims of non-local or biased coverage prioritizing national/non-local stories.
Notification links sometimes open the home screen instead of the article.
Install/download problems or the app disappearing from devices.

Recent reviews

Keyt needs to serve the interests of all county members and is doing a disservice to members are not progressive democrats. We prefer to watch news from SLO in terms of their reporting and reporters.
