Not ready for primetime. I can't share things via email. Outside links use the KSAT app's browser, which is a sorry excuse for a browser if there ever was one. There's no option to open external links, such as Fakebook's browser has, to use Chrome or whatever your native browser is. That's the first annoyance. Video is hit or miss. I am still unable to watch the much hyped "KSAT at 9" or whatever they call it. Video simply doesn't play. I just see the links to clickbait ads. Uninstalled!
🙁 The changes to website are not up to current times. Certainly not user friendly. The only reason, I have not uninstalled are because of the updates, I received on weather, news, and traffic. C'mon, I know there are skilled professionals to fix this app! This was before changes Absolutely rely on this app for current local news and national news. Great job!👍
The app the set up for it is great, easy to maneuver, user friendly BUT I am highly annoyed that when a notification on a subject that interests me pops up I try to click it and instead of directly taking me to the story, it will glitch and go back to home screen and I have to to and search for it myself and boy is it hard to find if it's not in the top news stories and if I miss part of a live video it will not let me play from the very beginning like most video apps do.
I'm beginning to see quite a bit of unstability with the app. It freezes when some articles are opened, and even if you close the app and try to read the article again, the app freezes.
I'll be kind and give it 2 stars. If I had a nickel for every time this app quits, won't load, loads part of a story and then disappears, or there is a story with pictures and none are shown, stop me anytime. Oh, if I had a nickel, I'd be wealthy. Because of these issues, I refuse to download their weather app, I can't imagine what they'd do to that one!
i really love the way the news stories are presented, I like that its up to date, its easily my favorite news app. But, the problem is that it has started having issues with opening up , sometimes it will with no problems then other times it won't for no apparent reason.
Apps hardly works, spins, won't connect, also when you load the app on the TV, that's even worst. Most times get news from days ago. Do not download, if you do, you will write a review like this one.
Nice but you can't enlarge any of the photos in the app. You have to open a web browser, navigate to KSAT, search for the same story then open the page and enlarge the photo. Kind of a pain. It would be nice to be able to open more than one story.
By far the worse News App Ive ever downloaded. The watch live link works when it wants. The videos that you can click on will show advertisements but wont show the actual video. The developers know this. Im in I.T so I know that most of the issues with the app can be resolved...
I don't know what's been going on lately but I cannot read any breaking news; I only get the same damn message of "the content is currently unavailable". I've never had issues with this app until recently. I hope someone fixes it quick.
When clicking on the notifications, all I get is "content unavailable" . I have uninstalled and re- installed multiple times, updated, tried to use the menu to get to the stories, and it doesn't work. I hope this issue can be resolved.
For the past two weeks I have not been able to get your live news programs. The weather app said "oops something went wrong". A friend suggested I uninstall and then reinstall. It has said pending for two hours. But the weather app is working again
This app doesn't always work. About a third of the time it doesn't connect to the site well enough to watch a live broadcast. But you WILL get a ton of constant updates, not just breaking or important news but everything else also.
Too many "breaking news" alerts so I uninstalled... I counted over 25 alerts one day, half of which were related to a trial and not breaking by any sense of the definition. Also, there's no way to eliminate ads, give us a premium option to hide all ads
Worked fine until this week - now audio from random stories starts playing even though I'm looking at a different story. The audio wont stop when I collapse the app back to my wallpaper, I have to close the app for it to stop.
This app worked flawlessly on my Samsung tablet until 2 wks ago. that is when it stopped working. Each time it would open to a blank page. Surprisingly, the app is working today. On Jun 20th, I left a voice mail reporting my problem for Scott, a KSAT employee. He never returned my call!
It is a very good, well organized app. The local news is top notch accurate, however the leftist spin they put on national news is unbearable. You just have to read beteen the lines. 5 stars for local news and quality of app. -2 stars for the horrible leftist spin. Total 3 stars.
At first It was working well, it keeps you updated with traffic and weather news. After a while the app started freezing and doesn't open and it keeps giving a message (unavailable)
Only works 40% of the time. Perpetually saying "we will be right back" or is a blank window. I've switched to channel 5 because their app actually works consistently.
I do like the way it is set up and easily accessible. unfortunately It often shuts down and closes the app so that I have to start over. Overall it is a great app.
Trying to check on the local storm and hail, but having to wait for ads to play. If needing emergency information, I am not paying attention to the add and instead closing the app and going somewhere else for info.
Flaky: After last update on 04-01-19 app would not run. Today on 04-06-19 it runs but you have to reload the app after each news article is read. It will Not return to the main interface without reloading. Needs work ! ! !
I Love following KSAT News & Weather. This app would be Excellent except for one thing... I think it's ludicrous for a News (or weather) App, that has been produced by a News Agency, to be throwing up banner ads all over their pages! It takes away from their professional image and makes them look desparate for money.
it was a great app for a long time, but something changed and now I very seldom get the news on the app. most of the time the screen is blank. I have tried everything but never works.
Despite what it says it will not work on my Samsung TV or my TiVo streaming device. Now to be fair it does no claim TiVo but it works with all other Google and Android apps. Does work on my phone but that is not where I want to watch it.
The content is great but it freezes quite a bit or takes a long time to load, especially when clicking on an alert to read the article.
I would like a way to disable notification sound but still get notifications. Only way to disable notification sound is to turn it off for all apps which I don't want to do.
It is currently 7 January 2022, 7:06 in the morning, and the KSAT apps "livestream" is currently airing news from noon on Christmas eve 2021. This is not live news and therefore, useless unless you want news from the previous month. After messaging the developer, they said they corrected the issue, but did not.
I have a Samsung Galaxy phone & Samsung tablet. Over the past few days, when I tap your notifications, a white screen appears. I wait several minutes, but the story never appears. So, I close the app & reopen it. I find the story title & tap it. It still opens to a white screen. This problem has finally stopped. Otherwise, your app has worked fine.
