Starting yesterday the news app went to total ad spam. Can no longer see the news stories. I see ABC’s priority. Deleting app and going back to CBS app for local news.
Click-bait links and ads.

Everything is plastered with click bait stories and ads. All I want is local news but that is apparently too much to expect.
What happened?

KOLO8NewsNow used to be great. Now they took away your ability to comment, I'm assuming because they just don't like discussion. These advertisements on this went up tenfold. It's like all you can find anymore is Clickbait.
It changed

I loved KOLO8NewsNow at one point. My biggest issue is the fact that we no longer have a voice on the site.
Where did the ability to comment on stories go???????
Stopped working on iPhone6. Notified the news department who in turn notified the developer. Nothing done. I finally gave up deleted it as they don’t seem to care. Got an app for another Nevada news app which works fine
Can’t tell what’s REAL news and what is an ad

If there was an award for worst news app, this should win. So much click bait and ads it’s tough to tell what is really news and what is an ad. KOLO8NewsNow is SO bad it makes me not even want to watch their news broadcast.
Crashes my whole phone!

KOLO8NewsNow is great for local news and used to work fine but the last month it has crashed my phone every time I have tried to open it, causing me to really hate it! I’m using another local news source now!
Ad Fail!

I open KOLO8NewsNow to see the news and all I see as a full page ad for Saint Mary’s that I can’t get past. The only actions that result are taking me to a web page for saint mary’s. What good is an app for news if you can’t see the news, but only an ad? Not any good at al to me.
Just became totally worthless

Can’t get past the ads to get to the news. Having ads in the list with the news is one thing. I can click on one if I am interested but forcing me to click on an ad before I can even get access to the news screen is too much. Time to move to channel 4 news.
Doesn’t even open with iOS 14.6. Too many ads that are presented as legitimate news stories and they don’t support large text. Just a really lazy app. Too bad they don’t care more about our community but that has been their trend over the last two years.
Latest very bad

The latest version just sits on the opening page and the little gear just spins. Tried deleting it and re downloading nothing worked. Has now gone from the ads making it really annoying to being completely unsuitable for purpose.
Spam and poor design

All KOLO8NewsNow does is stream Spam and popup or video advertising. Between the pop up ads every time you start up KOLO8NewsNow , and the adds on videos and story's, KOLO8NewsNow is unusable. You cant even watch proprietary videos without an minimum15 second add. In app features have also been removed and replaced with links that open up to Safari.
Good content, bad app

Good news stories and updates but it keeps crashing and I have to reinstall.
Late night notice.

To get notifications is one thing but to get notified late at night over a speech the governor faces hours before is crap. Sorry I’m loosing sleep for that. But I am deleting KOLO8NewsNow so I don’t loose sleep.
KOLO8NewsNow started out ok, But now you are required to view ads and watch ads before you can do anything else. Horrible!
So so

Best thing about KOLO8NewsNow is the earthquake feature. It would be a great improvement if you could adjust the time zone from EST to PST. And why can’t I add Vancouver BC to the weather?
Somewhat disappointing

by Stereo3DGuy
When it works, it's ok, but... I'm most interested in the live stream. The problem is, too often it doesn't, and we get no feedback that there is a problem (yes I know, a blank screen is feedback). I'm pretty sure, based on the fact all other feeds I have are working at the time of the failure with KOLO8NewsNow, that it isn't a problem on my end. It would seem to me a simple task to program KOLO8NewsNow to at least display that the stream is down. At least then I would know for sure it wasn't at my end. But all that aside, I can't trust this to be there for me each morning. That's a problem. You don't build loyal viewers with a hit and miss setup. Another suggestion, when you do get the live cast stable, it would be nice if you had more choice, in the event one misses the live cast, it would be nice to be able to watch the "last live cast". We don't have to back any further than that.
KCRA has a better working app

Get it together, your app is still in the Stone Age
Good but basic

Great app for reading local news. It is limited in its ease and use. There should be notifications or a daily/weekly story of upcoming events in the news section. I read KOLO8NewsNow every day, sometimes multiple times, and always see events as they are happening or after they have happened. I would love to participate more but 30 minutes prior to an event is usually too late, and after the event is impossible, for now...
It’s a good application however whenever I try to look up the weather it always closes the application.
What the heck
