4.7 out of 5
Unreliable

Can't click on a news story without an add from Roto Rooter coming up. It's a waste of app. Can't scroll down far enough on the story and boom! There's another ad. I get it, they rely on apps to sponsor them... But this is a joke. Whoever posts the stories, needs to proof them, a 9 yr old has better grammar than some of these writers. Get an app that'll help you readproof it. It re-writes what others do. Be original get some interesting news an updated.

Hire an editor

Inaccurate and incredible.

Gone so wrong

As a committed KESQ/CBS 2 viewer, love always liked KESQPalmSpringsNews . But in the last couple months or so it’s gotten horrible. The ad for there own app is local news first, ya right! You open the open and it’s national and world news. Also you have English and Spanish mixed on KESQPalmSpringsNews , which makes it a pain. After opening app you can select my news I guess for local, wrong again. But I guess we’ll have deal with due to newscast are going the same way. Disappointing, I’ve had to down load the other stations app just so I can see what’s going on in the valley.

Lesson in not how to run a news app

First of all, living in the valley you only get news from one side no matter who you get it from. This news app defiantly does not stray far from that. If it’s not their opinionated take on events then it’s a CNN article. Which does a disservice to be fair and impartial.

Next, the news stories are jumbled messes of English and Spanish versions. Why they wouldn’t have a specific section for any language they decide to write a story in is beyond me.

Confused

The last 2 days there’s no sound during the actual newscast only during the commercials. It was fine up till Friday morning.

Rating

This site needs improvement big time! I appreciate that they give the local news immediate attention but some of the recordings are dropped and the voice doesn't sound at the end of the interviews. Also the commercial on Mattress Showroom is annoying because it comes out on every news episode with the same person when you click on the video! REALLY????

Yikes!!

Tried using your app late this afternoon at our power outage but there was no sound. We were using our portable wifi and other apps were working just fine. Can you look into this???? Please????

Good app but....

I love KESQPalmSpringsNews but recently they've added advertisements before watching the videos. Which is okay in itself except for the fact that it's always the same advertisement for General Air Conditioning. There is only so many times in an hour I can watch the same 40 seconds of video. Since, I've stopped watching the videos which is unfair. I'm not finding alternatives for the videos posted on KESQPalmSpringsNews and can assure you that I would never hire General A/C!!!

KESQ App

When I'm away I rely on desert news and weather but KESQPalmSpringsNews has long advertisements before one can even get the news and weather. The most irritating thing is the weather is never up to date- sometimes a day behind! I need it to be current to determine my travel back and forth! Otherwise I like KESQ generally for local news.

It just keeps getting better!

This is a great app for keeping track of what's happening in the desert. I have few problems with the site. But I pulled a star from my rating because they couldn't keep the best weather reporter on their staff, and the replacement is sub-par. Better luck next time...

Better

At least this new version works. I also like being able to submit news when I see it.

Not terrible, but...

KESQPalmSpringsNews has gotten better recently, though every time I perform one of your updates the result is that KESQPalmSpringsNews won't open at all. So I have to delete, and then re-install KESQPalmSpringsNews .
And to echo others, and despite the fools that think otherwise, spelling and grammar are important, and if you're writing copy you should always proofread before publishing.

Greatest app for news

This is the greatest app I've got to keep updated with the latest news near my location. Been looking for it👍👍👍👍👍

Sweet App

Been using KESQPalmSpringsNews for several years. Great coverage, timely and accurate.
Highly recommend it. The notifications are very helpful and the local news coverage is superb.

Local Resident

I really enjoy your app. It keeps me apprised of local news, as well as world and national news. In fact, your breaking news "alerts" usually post before Fox News and CNN.

KESQ 3 is always first with the news

Other news sources pop up much later. Love getting all the important news first right here. Thank you for being on top of it all.

Good news reporting

Very nice app to have, I now get news from my area, lower desert to my home in Landers in high desert and world news! So far it has worked quite well and I recommend it to those living in the area! Well done!

Great way to start my day..

Coffee and this up-to-the-minute news brief on my iPad is the way I start my morning and find out what's happening locally. Nicely designed format gives the reader options to just scan headlines, read full articles or watch video of each piece. Another great feature is the instant alerts for breaking news throughout the day.

Love to keep up on my "home away from home" news

Have iphone 6+. Live in Iowa, winter in Palm Springs. Love to check in 7-8 times a day to keep up with news in your area even when winter is over and back in Iowa. My heart belongs to Southern CA!! HOWEVER, new update is national news which I can get elsewhere. Could you please have a "SETTING" that would allow us to read that precious PSP area news happenings. I was so happy with your app before the update. 🌴😎😍

Away from home

When I am it's important to remain informed. You do that for me in a constantly improving way. Soon your site will look like the big guys in the big city. Keep it up.

Stories not in chronological order

Good app, the news alerts on my phone finally bring this market’s news media into the 21st century. My one complaint is that the stories on KESQPalmSpringsNews are not listed in chronological order. A story from two days ago may be listed ahead of a “Breaking News” story from an hour ago. To find the most current stories, you have to scroll through all of them to make sure you find them. Otherwise, KESQPalmSpringsNews is the best one for this local market.

Local News back

Review Update, Thanks for bringing the Local News back as the primary focus, when you open up KESQPalmSpringsNews . US & World Stories are now an option in the Menu.
