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.

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.
