KING 5 App Reviews

Hate the ads before the videos

No breaking news. It is not my go to site because it isnt updated often enough or quick enough. This is Seattle, we should have the best news web. I hate having to watch the same ad before each video. I wont buy just because I hate the long ads before I get to the video. I used to be very loyal to King 5, not anymore. You "retired" all the familiar faces. I dont like the new weather person

Almost a waste of time

Looking for the weather? If its Sunday morning they make you sit through a whole commercial just to see Friday nights forecast. The layout could be so much better. And the crashes, what fun.

Good but

Good but too many ads and those are repetitious.

Slow and full of ads

Takes forever to load, and anything you want comes with an ad. No longer worth the trouble - KIRO will fill the gap.

Good once the live news starts

Initial ads are annoying, but also when you click thru or around the app its slow and unresponsive at times. Once in awhile the audio is off too. My biggest complaint is the desktop site. Big ads all over that are the place- you try to close it and it opens up. Also because ads are everywhere it makes the site super slow. I also hate that it auto loads other videos after watching the first.

Terrible news app

If you like videos and sports this maybe the app for you but I prefer to read my news. Do not recommend.

Crashes way too often

Crashes 4 times out of 5 while Im reading a story. Very frustrating.

Older app better

This new app loads slowly and sometimes not at all! Used to be my go to app for traffic/ no longer-flow doesnt load all the way! News is messy with too many ads.

Love the notifications

I feel as if I dont even need to watch or open the app to get any news. The notifications give me all the breaking and world news that, when I am interested, I just open and read. This app is all I need news wise.

Just give me the news

Why cant you just give me the news? I want to be able to tap one place and see ALL the news. Dont try and direct me to headlines or local or national.

Slanted news?

Appears that this is slanted to a more liberal (democratic?) view of news

One stop shop for Seattle news

Great app. Love the new look

#1 News for western wa.watch it everyday. The TV crew members are "Realy" real people not putting on a show. Thank you Laurion .

Best news app

Great app. Always updates me of breaking news and traffic.

Too little control over alerts

I had to turn off alerts because I was getting spots alerts when I had a game recorded. I need to be able to decide what alerts I get per team per traffic area per weather area (I have weather. Thats good.) let me block sports alerts and I would give it 4 stars.

Great local news broadcast!

Local traffic report current and accurate!

Local and national news

Really nice, I have since moved away, but still find this a wonderful touch of home! But then I was born and raised there!

Live broadcast

I like being able to watch the live broadcast. I agree with others about notifications and the need for instant info. Sometimes its like playing wheres Waldo looking for the info I was just notified of

No search

I can not find anyway to search for a topic or stories I saw browsing when Facebook.

You have asked me twice and Ill say it again you asked me again also takes forever to download

Way way to long to load. Need time stamps on stories You need time stamps on your stories and good grief someone could update weather and top stories more than once a day
