News On 6 Reviews

by Fly The Coop69

I want to see traffic, weather, and maybe very highly significant local news. I only seek out 6 bc of Travis Meyer and 6 used to be good at traffic & severe weather alerts but no more.

I do not want to see who has the spirit stick or that a 3rd person died from the flu somewhere. There are always going to be flu deaths! Shortage of immunizations is newsworthy. Thousands dead from flu is newsworthy. Not 3! Flu immunizations causing deaths bc contaminated is newsworthy. But not 3 deaths nationwide.

And I definitely don’t want to see Sports. If you can’t tell me who won the World Series then I don’t want to see any sports. I will go elsewhere for my sports news.

I understand that you are an advertisement company. I get that you're business is in selling ads. But if you choose to get your viewers because you have the best weather team around you should at least let us watch them first when there is a tornado on the ground. You app always makes me view a perfectly loaded 15 sec commercial before I can watch the never able to load "continuous weather coverage " that when it buffers starts with another perfectly loaded ad. Feel free to keep making me watch the ad when I click on all of your stories but please drop the ad and figure out why the live coverage won't load when my power goes out and my phone is all I have while I am sitting in my storm shelter wondering what is going on.

At one point I found NewsOn6 to be useful but as time goes on I find myself using other, national, apps for news and weather. This is due to more and more ads being introduced at various points of app usage. Open NewsOn6 , get an add. Watch severe weather on your phone as you don't have cable, expect to see an ad. Now random full screen ads pop-up when you are reading an article forcing you to X out to continue. I can't do it, I'm out.

The weather alerts are very timely and helpful and actually serve a purpose where as the news alerts most the time open NewsOn6 to a news story that’s not there. The alert itself will say tune in for more or take you to nothing.

That’s also after you exit the commercial page that pops up every single time you open NewsOn6 . I’m sure you don’t make enough off your advertisements on TV to need this incredible revenue generating add that pops up anytime you open NewsOn6 and prevent you from seeing anything until you close it.

The overall layout is not very good either and really lacks creativity.

Not only does News on 6 send an endless amount of notifications that spam up my notification bar ( I know I can control them) but the real kicker is that even when you click the notification, 99% of the time you are directed to an advertisement to watch and when it ends, there’s no content relating to the story the notification alerted you too.

Kinda painful to use unless I’m mindlessly browsing news stories.

The news itself and weather reports are all outstanding. This review is about NewsOn6 . The alerts pique your interest and you go to swipe the alert to get more info, only most of the time you will not be directed to ANY content the alert is for. I imagine some of these are to get you to "Tune in" to broadcasts. It would be nice to know you don't need to bother with wasting your time trying to find more info on the "alert aka teaser" because none exists. You never know if you're getting an alert that will lead you to more info or one that wastes your time because it's a teaser. I find this disrespectful of my time.

The LIVE features during weather are great. The weather alerts are awesome - I get some of those before the Weather Service alerts. I find the weather alerts the most useful feature of NewsOn6.

The search feature is not very robust. It is difficult to find what you are looking for most of the time unless it's live weather

The phone app doesn’t give you live information when there’s severe weather warnings around and you have no electric. The only time live info shows is if it’s during regular broadcasting time. There are lots of people with some type of dish network and when weather hits, we lose all the television stations because of the clouds and NewsOn6 is the only thing we can rely on for safety.
I have the news and weather app neither keep you informed live.

First I would say the content is very good. But why do I have to watch videos that advertise for news on six before I see the story video. If I'm on your app don't you think I'm already a consumer. If you can't sell the advertising space then just don't have any advertising video. You don't have to sell to someone that's already buying your product. Another annoying thing is the ad that comes up every single time you go back to NewsOn6 . This is usually for a car dealership. With all that said, this is the first app I've ever given a review for. So I must wanted to improve because I use it so much.

I watch six in the morning every weekday when I’m getting ready for work. I try to watch the evening and 10 o’clock news but when is preempted it doesn’t always announce why, it just ask of NewsOn6 is not working. Also there are way too many commercials. I know that there are commercials on the live feed but I have also seen Facebook footage of the news team between sets. NewsOn6 could do this instead if we pay extra to be commercial free. Just a thought, I hope you guys consider it. Also, when the show is preempted by national network, maybe you could put a runner across the bottom of the screen or even a primitive card with writing on it.

I had to ask where to find the weather and traffic sections. Weather should have its own, prominently placed section, and not just the temperature thing at the top corner. Not everyone knows to tap on it, and end up tapping the other obvious sections of NewsOn6 only not to find it. Traffic needs to have smaller icons and maybe red and yellow lines like other apps have to show slowdowns. Weather and traffic are things we need in a moment's notice, and we're not getting there fast enough.

I have an appreciation for NewsOn6 . The one thing that bothers me is, when I get a notification and touch it to be sent to NewsOn6 and it does not automatically bring up the story. Some of the time the story is no where to be found. Very annoying. But otherwise NewsOn6 is great! KOTV has always been my choice of new for news. I still have the NewsOn6 even though I no longer live in Oklahoma! Just to keep up with what's going on in my home state.

Typically the first to report the news, traffic, and weather. Almost always accurate. Mostly unbiased political reporting. Something I’d like to see changed are the ads. I can’t open NewsOn6 when anyone is around because I never know when an ad will blare out regardless whether my phone is on silent or not. And I’m sick of the Chevy ad at the beginning.

I have been using KOTV Channel 6 New’s App to access the news electronically for several years now & I’m no longer tied down to a television set waiting for the local news to come on! KOTV has given me the freedom to get my e-news any time of day or night & with my crazy schedule that’s a Godsend! I’m also a KOTV weather app user & I love it just as much!

by GFDONE

YES! I love news on six and most of their news personalities! Don't watch anyone else. Love NewsOn6 ! Especially streaming live big events! Love being able to watch the morning news on my phone while getting ready for work! BUT I do not like constantly being asked to review NewsOn6! There should be a "do not ask again" button.

by Clendon35

I’m locked in to a lot of news media on my
iPhone, like Fox News, Digital Oklahoman
etc.,for just a few, and what I like about the Channel 6 App is that it gets state &
local news & events that are so relevant to me in printed stories with pictures and
Video. I really enjoy & appreciate the Channel 6 App, and I really don’t know what I would do not having this action news sight. ❤️❤️❤️

News, weather & sports that is! New faces this year enhancing a stellar staff that I’ve watched & appreciated for years! Can’t say enough good about & how inspiring LeAnn Taylor is - pro all the way. Terry Hood -sensible, sensitive & down to earth along with Craig Day -a great team. Alan Crone is my pick for best understandable delivery and explanation of weather coverage. I could go on but I’ll close saying News on 6 is simply the best in town.

by Drudge Rep

I watch the morning News on 6 every morning, as I prepare to face my day. The team informs me about the important local, national, and world happenings, as well as the vital factors that will impact my day - weather, road or school closings, and traffic. The personalities of the anchors complement each other so well, and make such a difference in how my day starts. The News on 6 morning program makes me feel like I’ve spent my early hours, having coffee with my friends.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE NewsOn6!!!!!!!!!!!! No joke guys it’s great!!! You get real time alerts which amazing if you drive as much as I do! Not only do I get traffic alerts but I can stay up-to-date on important news! Especially robberies and shootings so I can avoid those areas! Not to mention the weather updates and the News On 6 Weather app is just as amazing! 10/10 would recommend download!!
(Also just some random knowledge to share: NEWS stands for: Notable Events Weather & Sports)

by Lkakard83

I'm in agreement with the other reviews. Needs to be better organized, need to be able to have the option of watching the ad. There are many times that I can't watch the video of the news as it's late and it disturbs those around me trying to sleep. Please post news events without making us watch a video of the news. You have the content right under it but we are forced have the video play first. Your app viewers DO NOT like this. Otherwise, besides the disorganization, your coverage of the latest news is excellent!

This is about the only app I use for news and weather. After recent storm activity, the only thing I would change is when severe weather is actually occurring the user should not have to watch a 10 second commercial before getting the live severe weather feed. That 10 seconds could be the difference between life and death and the delay is inexcusable, if it can be avoided. Live feed should occur immediately especially when tornados are in the area and all other power is out. Just a suggestion to improve NewsOn6 from a user standpoint.
