Pros and cons of KING 5 app for iPhone and iPad

KING 5 app good for

Since I am abroad, I keep connected to what goes on in Seattle daily.

A Washington native, I live in Canada now. This app is great, keeps me up to date with home, and the Seattle weather forecast is accurate for Vancouver Island!

I live in Vancouver BC but I can get all my Seattle news quickly through the KING 5 app. Easy to use and works always!

I have been watching K5 since 1976 when we moved to Washington. Love everyone on the news and the way they do their job.

The app works well for me, particularly the push notifications regarding freeway closures etc. Those alone have saved me many hours and tons of hassle.

As a child growing up in what was the very small community of South Hill in Puyallup, KING 5, NBC were a regular staple in my home life. I grew up watching & learning from Jean Enerson. Now as a parent myself, Im proudly parsing on the baton of tradition to our family. Always have been... Always will be a King5 viewer!

Some bad moments

I liked the previous version of this app. This version is poorly laid out. Not enough of it is dedicated to current news events. There is too much visual noise.

Worse and worse. They updated the app. It not takes close to forty five seconds to open. The news is riddled with errors. From spelling to grammar to missing words, there is clearly no editing. This is hardly a source of news. It is click bait in the worst form.

The videos dont load most of the time. The photo subtitles are never there. You have to open the top stories tab, and then go back to get to national news. The typography errors are rampant. Most new articles are the same article from a previous tab with a paragraph or two added, so theres much redundancy. The weather tab does work well, and it offers radar data that is helpful.

I love KING 5 news. Have been watching for 40 years over any other local news. But the app consistently loads so slowly that Ive finally given up and downloaded another local news app. Come on KING 5! You are the best! You can do better than this!

This is the last place I turn to for Seattle news. The app is glitchy & locks up on my iPhone. It is impossibly slow to open & the news is often outdated. Its a waste of my time to even try to access this site. KING 5, you can do better.

The old app was better and a great deal faster to load. I can never tell if its loading or just hung. Getting my Seattle news elsewhere; dont have the time to waste waiting for Tegnas crappy apps.
