Sharing articles is hard to do. On Android cannot share via text messages using Android Messages.
This used to be my go to news app, but now I am going to delete it. Format has changed and stories are now routed to a web browser. If I wanted to read them in the browser, I would just go to the website. I thought that was slightly irritating but now the links in the app take you to a completely different story so the app is pretty much useless.
My issue with the app is that when I finish reading a story and press the < arrow to return to the story list, I am returned to the top of the list. Not so bad if I'm at the top on my reading, but irritating if I have to continually scroll through the entire list because I'm trying to read stories near the bottom of the list.
The app settings allow you to set it so you only get notifications from breaking news, i.e. important stories, but they will still spam you with notifications to stories that aren't breaking news and don't matter. Not worth using this app due to poorly handled notification spam. I don't need an interruption every time some producer thinks their unimportant story is "breaking news."
What's up with KTUU? Not only does the app not open the requested story every time, it no longer allows us to share stories to whatever medium we choose. I used to be able to choose between, Text, FB, etc, but now hitting the "Share" button takes me directly to FB.
When I click on the app. The last news article displayed is about Typhoon Mangkhut, from September 7 2018. I still get the breaking news updates. Yet,if I click on them to read the full story. It pulls up the news from September 7, 2018. Today's date is October 31, 2018. This app used to be great.
Slowest loading app on my phone only to bring up a full page ad. Know that I will never buy anything from that advertiser, ever. Figure out what.... Can not sort the ads from the articles... Good job if you're a gamer!
Screen size to small won't enlarge!! Can't read script
App apparently developed by high school interns who have since left. E.g. "feedback" link takes you to "page not found." Get the KTVA app instead. Better writing, more in depth research, and, as much as we all love Jackie, better weather, too.
One sided, highly editorialized and largely predictable narrative storyline. Sprinkled in with some useful local news stories and weather.
Currently the news feed is mostly ads and no news. It has had minimal coverage of local breaking news. Basically worthless
This app only shows me advertisements. When I click on top stories I get advertisements. Same with weather, live stream all it will show me are ads.
Crappy App! KTVA's App was Way better! Very one sided news source. But since they took over the Only other good News source in Alaska, they can write whatever they want now.
Unable to livestream for the last month and still no fix. Don't mess with the KTVA app too, at least it works.
Rarely works properly and not as user friendly as KTVA 11 News app. It's faster to use the KTUU website or Facebook page.
App no longer loads new pages. It just stalls. This has been going on for several weeks now.
Used to give great news, now it cannot load new stories. It is stuck on July 12th. I totally need the news.
Every story opens in a new browser tab, rather than in-app. It would be better to just go directly to the web site.
almost never opens when you click out of initial advertisements..just sits there 'loading'
it wont play live feed video after new update on the june 5th. please fix.
KTUU app loads ads but often closes itself in error.
This app was the so slow updating news like 3 days behind in The app
Why am i getting news from Wisconsin in an Alaskan news app? I live in Alaska, have gps active. And yet this stupid app is giving me news from Wisconsin.
Sometimes they have good stories but sometimes it's just hard to say
Love this app. Always up to date and works great!
The live stream no longer works On any of our devices including the tablets or fire sticks.. The only thing that happens now Is either a message saying playback failed or or the logo for Gray television cycling over and over and over again. Trying to figure out how to contact them and let them know. Good luck these days
