KRON4 Watch Live Bay Area News Reviews

When it comes to news, I watch it live everyday. But lately, KRON4 app has been terrible primary oh their AppleTV capability…

I always use appleTV to steam news onto my TV. Abc, fox, cbs5 and kron… all of it, KRON4 is the only app with a very buggy streaming plugin.

It always show a commercial right before streaming actually happen, then it will cause an error. It was working fine for like few years…. Until recently, it won’t stream properly anymore.

You will probably be fine if you want to watch on your tiny iPhone/iPad screen… BUT
Streaming news onto TV is the current trend, who want to pay for the stupid cable and watch the low definitely or even off air.

To Kron4/KronOn - if you are reading this, please fix your streaming plugin- it no longer works for older devices….!!!

I am using ATV2 and some older iPads…. Tested few different iPads, none work probably anymore.

I already have a Xfinity account with this station,that I already pay plenty for so why are you asking for more money??!!!this is the best news and I can’t believe that KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews is ripping off consumers!!!if you already have a cable subscription with KRON 4 KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews should be free!thats how all the other apps work!if5 stars if you fix this!!!

So let me get this straight, a channel I can watch for free with the aid of an antenna now wants to charge? Paid for the channel you made lots of money on (with taxes and subsidies to pay property taxes, etc.), your news should be a good start to paying back what you received. Don’t charge for local news. The first amendment protects you to keep us informed. Remember what you used to be. Free news means a free society.

Why in the world would you make us pay for a news app???? To many commercials, nothing is up to date, and quite frankly it’s not worth it when the pot of news online is sooooo large THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews has a serious problem casting to Chromecast. App drops out & starts playing audio on the phone while still casting... Audio is not in sync, so annoying. Because of all the restarts, you end up watching more commercials than news…

Drops out every 10mins. Need to recast again and again. Also after casting, app still plays its audio in phone too.

The commercials streamed just fine. The news stories? Not so much. You’re better off watching television. You’ll see fewer ads. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I liked the concept and KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews seems well designed. But after about one minute it asks for your email and then to login to kron website. We have been burned by all the social media and google data mining, this ultimately looks to be the same. I guess you’ve got to pay for it somehow and selling ads isn’t working, so, data mine! Sorry kron, bad move.

I’ve reinstalled KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews numerous times on my Apple TV and I have to close and reload KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews at least twice a day.

It always gets stuck on a loading screen or freezes in the middle of a live broadcast in the morning and evening.

Very very annoying.

It’s a great app when it works right.
KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews on my Apple TV seems to have lots of issues. And only works properly about half the time.
But it’s great when it works so I keep trying.
When it’s not working I switch over and watch the CBS app, it always works right.

Enjoy weather report and traffic updates and local political news. Though I wonder how deeply some stories are researched

Redundancies in ads gets old but otherwise it’s my go to for news

A+ news team

You let me know the news.

Cmon what are you doing Nexstar???

CONSTRUCTIVE
•How about instead of signing up with an email.
You instead make it a 1 time in app purchase.
•Or run advertisements.
•You already have competition like KTVU Channel 2. I actually downloaded and used their app because it’s free but with advertisements.
•I as a consumer am willing to make a 1 time purchase to unlock a year of streaming for $30 BUT
It has to be through the apple App Store.
•Also if you can’t perform recurring annual charges on KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews Store. Then sell fake credits within your app to allow people to do it themselves.

iPhone users have their accounts tied with apple. We don’t want to give up the main selling point of an iPhone, which is Privacy, just to watch local news. Sorry. That’s not going to happen.

UPDATE. THEY FIXED IT!
You can now use and pay for local news with your Apple account. You no longer need to give your personal email to sign up. However you will need if you want it on all devices and computer etc. Great job Nexstar! Thanks for listening. Here is your 5 stars. And I’m a subscriber now.

Just felt the need to let the entire crew of Kron 4 know that they are the absolute bomb. Been watching only you guys for years and the energy, the flow, the information, and details you guys give is what wakes me up in the mornin. Darya and James 🔥🔥🔥 Will 🔥🔥🔥 John and Reyna 🔥🔥🔥 Sara 🔥🔥🔥 Jason 🔥🔥🔥Justine and Grant 🔥🔥🔥 and everyone else. I’m an early riser so that’s who I know. I apologize for the long review. I’m at the Dmv and still have 45 min u til open so I figured I’d bless you guys with this. Keep doing your thing. Thanks.

Great local news and up-to-the-minute

Love the station and so happy to have KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews that way I can watch the news wherever I may be.

👍right on

This is my favorite Bay Area news station. I watch every morning. The news, weather and traffic are great. The staff are upbeat and clear. The station works hard to promote Bay Area businesses and social programs. A special shout out to Dave Spahr , his extra use of weather patterns, the where, when and how of weather is great.

I’m not paying for free press. Freedom of information. This is the stupidest way to generate revenue, just like adding tax to soft beverages even to the people who don’t drink them. Convert back to a free to view app or lose many followers of KRON networking/incorporated

Enough is enough! Nextstar needs to get over its dispute with AT&T and remember the viewers. I am NOT paying to watch TV on an app. Give us back our channel 4!!!

So KRON, you eliminate adds but now put political adds in place. I’m not funding Michael Swalwell’s campaign!

Just a data miner and email stealing app. Shameful and very unethical. KRON4WatchLiveBayAreaNews is no better than malware. DO NOT DOWNLOAD !

It has a problem reloading on fire stick

This is a pretty good app for having on during breakfast but the break “music” is obnoxious. Turn the volume down so we can think, please. Thank you.
