2.6 out of 5
Never updates

Weather is the only thing that ever updates.

Disgusted

Inappropriate spam ads. Do we really need to see ads scattered throughout the news articles of women in disgusting poses or ads that do not pertain to anything concerning our area?? Shame on you!! This is supposed to be a news website. If you need to advertise, please advertise local businesses or realistic wares that readers might need or use.

Update info

Information always behind

Commercials, commercials, commercials...

I used KOSAFirstAlert7 for news, but now you have to watch seemingly endless commercials before you get to their teaser stories. Not worth it. Deleting it today.

Only ads loading

The only thing loading when I launch app is the ads. I keep getting notifications is stories related to weather tonight but can't open anything

*Freezes all the time*

You would think that KOSAFirstAlert7 would be convenient for someone who doesnโ€™t have social media but itโ€™s NOT. runs very slow & freezes in the middle of an article. Constantly having to refresh!!!

Dislike

I don't need the number to tell me to read stories that area should be for updates to KOSAFirstAlert7 . I also can't find the news for the adv and junk

Notification settings don't work

I like KOSAFirstAlert7, however, I am very close to deleting due to UNWANTED notifications. My settings for "notifications" are set to receive "Breaking News" and "Weather Alerts" ONLY, but I am still getting "Happening Today" notifications. I require VITAL information ONLY, not the annoyance of looking at my watch only to see a "Happening Today" notice. So what's up with giving the illusion of allowing personalized configuration of notification preferences????

Day old news

KOSAFirstAlert7 should be changed to โ€œCBS7 Historyโ€
Whoever is in charge of updating the news on KOSAFirstAlert7 either has a lot of days off or is just lazy.
If you want 1-2 day old news...KOSAFirstAlert7 is great.
If you donโ€™t want updates on the weekend... get KOSAFirstAlert7 .
If you see a fire and wonder what happened.... wait a week and you just might see it on KOSAFirstAlert7.

To many ads

Please get rid of the stupid ads. I would pay for an ad free app as I have done with other apps. On a breaking news story Iโ€™ll swipe and the story is about 5 stories down, not the first one popping up.

Ads! Grammar! Spelling! BAD

I am so sick of the AIM bank ad. It stays on too long. The other ads are the same junk ads that are all over Yahoo News and the stories have nothing to do with the title of the ad.

I don't understand how the reporters got their job. The grammar is somewhere on the elementary level. How did they even graduate high school? The lack of vocabulary skills and poor spelling make me cringe.

Very unprofessional app. Two stars for attempting to get the news out to the public.

Too many ads

While Ch 7 is fast to report breaking news, the site is are to navigate and the stories are covered in ads. Not only are there multiple ads, they are spam or phishing ads. Very irritating.

Crashes

App did good for a while. Has begun to crash a lot.

Update

Needs an update. Freezes every time I open it.

Lose the risquรฉ ads

Not just with KOSAFirstAlert7, but all apps with Google (or any company) ads, I keep getting risquรฉ or sexually-suggestive ads! It's worthless to click on the "x," click on "report the ad," mark as inappropriate, or any other selection! This yields a message that says, "We'll try not to show this ad again." The operative word is "try," which is a weak attempt by advertisers to weasel their way out of abiding by requests not to see their ads! I always get the same ads that I report!

Say No to the Ads!

Please develop a paid version so we can keep up with the news without all the annoying ads.

My review

I have been using KOSAFirstAlert7 for a couple of years. This is a news app, so I assume it should not be political. Right now there is a pro-Trump link over several parts of each page. I will stop using KOSAFirstAlert7 , going to Ch 3, until you remove partisan ads.

My perspective

I actually like your app. It is simple and direct. I do at times find the story may have been posted without using a tool for spellcheck etc., to find mistakes. The biggest frustration I see is your lack of ability for comments to be posted about a story, Your agency is timely with stories and events, but you fail at engaging in the feedback of your community. Please consider adding this option.

4 Stars, only due to the lack of comments available and grammar is atrocious.

How can dirty water offend channel 7 Iโ€™ts another outlet for libs
Backing the oil
Company will try to get them off my phone as soon as possible

Just a information junkie

Itโ€™s great thank you for everything these past 15 years! God bless. ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜€

Mrs. Lawrence

You are so slow to update information. Bank robbery today & Channel 9 already posting a close up photo of the robber & his truck.

Donโ€™t like alerts that are for โ€œWhatโ€™s going on in your area.โ€ Only want News or Weather ALERTS.โ€

The person writing the website articles uses terrible grammar & misspells words. Doesnโ€™t anyone proof read these articles before posting them? Itโ€™s a direct reflection on your Station. Thank you for letting me opine.
