User Reviews

Users broadly praise KTIV for reliable, up-to-date local weather and news coverage, trustworthiness, and a pleasant UI with strong on-air talent. However, recurring complaints center on intrusive ads and pop-ups, persistent notification badges that won't clear, audio playback problems, and update-related stability issues (including device-specific prompts on iPad). Overall, while the content quality and local focus are valued, ad experience and reliability bugs in updates significantly detract from the app experience.
Pros
  • Up-to-date local weather information and reliable forecasts.
  • Strong local news coverage and trustworthiness.
  • Keeps users informed daily with weather and news updates.
  • Pleasant presentation/UI and favorable on-air talent.
Cons
  • Intrusive, stacked pop-up ads and aggressive advertising.
  • Notification badges/alerts that won’t clear for long periods.
  • Audio playback issues (sound cuts out).
  • Update stability problems and testing concerns (including device-specific issues on iPad).
Recent reviews
We recently moved to an area where there is no local TV station. An antenna will not reach to Sioux City and we do not have cable. Having enjoyed KTIV’s newscasts where we lived before we downloaded the KTIV News NOW App so we could continue to receive KTIV news. But we never know if it is going to come on or not. Sometimes it comes on right at 10:00, but it might be 10:05 or 10:35 or it may not come on at all. It’s not dependable and frustrating.

This new update was clearly never tested. It is stacked with popups on top of each other. I’m literally closing 10 popups before I can get to a story. At least the old app only had one popup which was annoying enough but 10? Come on

I just want to quietly read the news but the ads pop up screaming at me. Very obnoxious.
