FOX31 KDVR & Channel 2 KWGN Reviews

by Jeffw1998

I used to like FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN because it had up to the minute news and was updated frequently. however, the latest revision is very buggy and you are forced to watch ads before reading any of the news. the ads hang my ipad and force me to reboot. I deleted FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN and hope the developers make some significant improvements.

The layout of your app and it’s contents are horrible. Once you finally do get to the story, it takes forever to actually read it after navigating past imbedded videos and ads. And then, after that, there is zero substance to the content. The first thing you see, when opening FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN , is a huge ad. To get rid of the ad you must “swipe up” but it’s difficult to know that because the directions are in white, blending into the background of the ad. Who is the genius who thought this was a good idea. I am not ready to delete FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN yet as I can get all I need from the alerts…..no need to open FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN to get pushed more garbage. But I am “this” close .

FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN freezes up nearly every time I launch it and I have to go back to the IOS and swipe it up to close it just so I can regain control of my iPad again.
News videos do not play reliably and FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN seems like it gets stuck on pop up advertisements.
Scrolling through the news stories is nearly impossible as FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN wants to do something else... like pop up an advertisement.
These issues do not happen on other news apps so I must conclude this is substandard programming.

It would really be nice to go to the weather video and actually show me a video about the weather. I either get a commercial that plays perfectly and when the weather starts it crashes and then shows me another commercial, or, like now after an “improvement” I get nothing at all just shifting screens with numerous buttons to start the video and then a blank screen. And they don’t even have the video on the Pinpoint app anymore! Can anyone develop an app with a weather video - please?

This was the last news site that wasn’t just a horrible ad-laden nightmare that was impossible to find actual news in. This version goes the same way as everyone else, starting with a forced full screen ad every single time you open FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN . Deleted. Better living without “news” anyway.

FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN used to be clunky, have horrible ui, and be pretty much a dedicated vessel for serving you ads (with news tucked in between the ads).

This latest version is an even worse experience for the user. I don’t know how they managed to make this even worse than they did before.

My least favorite new feature is that clicking into stories causes FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN to send you into your web browser to shady advertising sites. FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN literally kicks you out to external advertising sites in addition to the in app ad content.

The articles are peppered with ads, the videos walked by them.

Fake paid news stories a spread out amongst the real content in an increasingly higher ratio.

FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN stops/pauses whatever you are listening to at the time even tho they are read only sometimes. So You have to stop listening to anything else before opening this.

Often articles are mentioning photos or to watch a video and the content mentioned in the headline isn’t even in the article.

FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN is becoming a bigger and bigger pile of hot garbage each release.

This application used to be great now it’s just not. You can only scroll half of the post because the headline doesn’t follow when you scroll so you can see maybe 3 or 4 lines of text FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN is super buggy on my iPhone 12! It always force closes or won’t load or gets stuck. I’m sorry to say FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN will be deleted and exchanged for something else I’ve been using it since high school and now it just doesn’t work anymore.

I’m not sure where to begin but FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN is absolutely horrible. It’s littered with ads and pop-ups. The stories are almost impossible to get to load correctly, and the navigation is so cumbersome. Cmon guys. In a time when our kids have more “tech” knowledge than most of us you can surely put out a better product.
Also, how TF does FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN average a 4.7 rating?

by Jerekb

Videos won’t load. When they do load they won’t go full screen. Content is hard to sort through. If you touch anything during the video trying to get it to play in full screen it reloads and makes you watch the advertising while the first video continues in the background. I do appreciate the content Fox 31 provides. However, I’m done using FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN .

by Obccrn

It seems like every 4-5th story is “sponsored content” which are just advertising. Too much.... also when you play videos that are past of stories you can get stuck unable to get back to the story or the video won’t play at all. Maybe they just haven’t updated FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN in the last year and a half for the iPhone X, which doesn’t seem very plausible.

by Kingjred

Glad to have a way to get the news but don’t use this to stream the live broadcast. First, the video and audio are never in sync so watching the newscasters is difficult because their actions don’t match their words. Second, the long silences of “we’ll be right back” is annoying because it’s hard to tell if the link is frozen or has gone to sleep. Third, the same ads over and over and over is making me not want to watch. Lastly, it’s impossible to know what’s going on when there is a sudden break often in the middle of a story or in the middle of a “stay tuned here’s what’s coming up”. If not for Dave Frazer, I wouldn’t bother.

For the most part, I love FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN. I’ve been using it for many years. The stories are always up to date, and the user interface is very well put together.

Here’s the problem: no matter how new my phone is (currently it’s the iPhone XS), FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN freezes almost every time I open it for the first time after clearing clearing out my background apps; which I do almost hourly to free up system resources. It usually works after I close it, clear FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN , and then reopen it, but gets a little tiresome. It typically freezes on the feed screen, but sometimes I’ll open a story and it will freeze as I begin to scroll down.

If this issue gets resolved, I will update my rating to 5 stars. Thanks guys!

Almost every time I open FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN , I have something that won’t load or it freezes. I close FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN , and when I go back into it it still stuck in the previous frozen screen. Usually it takes me 3-5 minutes to read a story that I’m interested in. FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN has the most bugs out of all my apps on my phone.

by Qurlyjoe

...scrolling on my iPad Air gen 3 is jerky.

They need to do better at indicating which “stories” are sponsored. Some are labeled as such but not always.

The in-app feedback function doesn’t work. I tried sending this feedback using that and the email it tried to send bounced back.

by VS84joy

Please relocate the ‘back’ arrow from a story to the bottom of page. It is inconvenient when scrolling with one hand and coffee (for example) in the other to have to use two hands just to navigate back to the main feed.

by JD-88

I really like FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN. I get notifications regular with summary’s that are to the point. It is easy to navigate, save favorite articles, and find articles.

by Lttrs2Cleo

I really like this news app. I love the updates and I honestly go thru it everyday several times a day to stay current on the local and national news. The layout is simple and easy to use.

by Accright

I love the new app because if the headlines are deceiving which they are a lot of the time you can just return back to app and see what else you want to look at.

by Alamosa Mom

Love it because you can either read the story or watch the story. I hate being forced to watch a video I don’t want.
This site is always current and love the special features like problem solver. Best weather too for those of us outside the metro area.

by Blackwolfjeepie

It’s nice to have a app that doesn’t give false news or lean to the left so far it falls off the page. Thanks everyone great job. Keep it up. Not sure who wrote that but I agree with it 100%

by Crapple Trap

So, KDVR, are you really that broke or that hungry for money that you need to force us to see pop up ads every 15 seconds that are annoyingly hard to close on this worthless news app? I’ve got news for YOU, there are lots of other apps out there that are better than yours that do NOT force you to endure pop up ads. I am deleting this piece of crap.

by UncorkingGoblin

FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN works well, but the reporting is very Left leaning and I find 1-3 false or misleading reports per day. I report these posts through FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN , many times I try to report them, FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN instantly shuts down before I can submit the corrections. Good thing I take screenshots of them!

by PkRanger12

Sadly my iPhone 5s doesn't like FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN. Constantly crashes it don't wait for all the adds to load. Uninstalled and reinstalled many times same problem. Also what's will all the adds? I mean really, I get you have to make a dime but every story has at least two if not more.

Everything is good except one thing that bothers me every time i see her. Her hair is beautiful, it looks nice hanging over her left shoulder. Please ask her to hold her head up strait. She does not need to tilt her head to feature her hair.

by Garrett67 Colorado

When I want to select a news photo to look closer at it, FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN does not allow to return to the news article. Have to literally shut down FOX31KDVRChannel2KWGN and reopen it.

by Bruno G73

I open it first thing in the morning. I like looking at the weather and breaking news. Keeps me up to date on what’s going on in Colorado.

by Qt92

Great coverage of local and national issues. Better anchors than other stations and more objective, honest reporting. The only station I watch!

by Happy Golfer25

Great local coverage providing unbiased news. Great graphics, to the point text and interesting content.

by #StarChild

Well I meant great news. Local and enough for a cup of coffee in morning. Save a tree and move along.

How about comments? That would round it out.

by Mom&Gram
