Click2Houston - KPRC 2 Reviews

by Transplant Looking For Facts

Wow a lot like most news organizations and Salon they provide just enough of a title so that you’ll click on it and their new stories are usually on point but liking entirely in information or in-depth coverage of most things. Then to make it worse it’s like they just have ad after ad after ad after ad On their other new stories you would click on from the one you’re reading which are almost always more of a gossip columns an actual news. I’ve never been impressed with his news channel and I am far less impressed with their app, but Click2Houston is just a symptom of poor management or marketing and just a clear indicator of the culture and goals of what they bring to the table as a story and makes it pretty much impossible to believe any of their articles are entirely biased because when you lie or lie by omission about small things who knows what else you are lying about. Personally I like KHOU better they have much more in-depth coverage of the news the only thing I like about KPRC is the weather alerts are helpful literally everything else is garbage.

Needs more live weather reports, rather then just showing maps .I just relocated from Austin. So I am learning the area your sister station in Austin KXAN does a great job with this, while educating viewers about locations and the difference between tornado warning viruses a tornado watch/ flood warning compared to flood watches. I can look the same stuff up on google that you guys currently show on your current app. The Chanel 2 app looks like something that is not updated very much .

First I want to say that out of the three original Houston news stations your app is the better. But then again, that is like your dog coming in second in the world's ugliest contest ---- still homely and not the winner.
Just know that the three star rating is based more on an easier navigation through the sight than for news gathering.

Too may articles remain embedded far too long. The site needs a scheduled cleaning plan ----- I suggest every 3 days.

The investigation section is so sad. Few, if any, hard hitting pieces are done and the few "investigative" articles of any consequence remain for months.

To change gears, for heaven's sake start using spell check and grammar check, maybe this will convince folks that someone there attended a college.

You are reporting the news in the fourth largest city in the United States, act like it. This is no longer 1955 small town Houston.

And please wait until all the facts are in to post an article. "Breaking news" is not impressive without the facts.

It seems as though a large majority of your news stories (national, international, political, etc) are provided from organizations (NY Times, CNN, etc) that undoubtedly represent the political views of the left. Just as so many conservatives no longer subscribe to the Houston Chronicle, your website also most likely has a far lower usage due to the political view unbalance of it regardless of the business reason(s) I basically use the site only for weather (which is an excellent component) and to stay current with the local Houston news.

When Click2Houston was downloaded and opened, it immediately took the user to a ‘notification’ page. You cannot get past this page to the ‘news’ portion at all unless you select at least one topic to receive notifications/alerts. Once in, under settings, you can, select not to receive notifications. After this gyration of access, the page is fairly usable.

Many times, the article will have the picture of one of the people in the article, it is confusing because one can not tell which person is that in the picture. Some other times I will get a notification and when I click on the article there is not anything posted.
Some of the reporters write articles and post them before proof reading their content.

Same news, not much new content throughout the day. Understand ads, but when your site opens, it jumps to a home development ad. When you click to exit, Ch 2 site comes up in different profile then set on iPad. So, click out, then click back on to start reading. This makes me go to other local news sites.
Also, many times site will not load. Am on Wi-Fi etc so just a hang up with program. Not a fan at all.

Many times it appears that no effort was made to spell check written reports online. Also sometimes a notification of a story or an event in progress to livestream is sent, but can’t be found when opening Click2Houston . I have alway liked channel 2, but I disappointed in some of their recent performances over the last couple of years.

by Lotsohobbies

I’ve watched channel 2 for decades. Love Click2Houston as my primary source of news. All of a sudden this week when I open Click2Houston , a video ad for the Kprc weather app starts auto play. I’ve downloaded that app but I don’t want video playing. Now I can’t open Click2Houston unless I’m somewhere where the noise won’t matter or I can turn volume down. PLEASE fix this!!

Need to be fair. You are too far to the left. There are people out here that would like to hear both sides. I know what happened in World War II. And I see it coming to this country which is an absolute shame. Most people are too young to know what happened in World War II. You lose all of your freedom. Especially religious freedom.

by Information Lover

I like 2 because they broadcast/ say more more news than other stations in the same time frame.
I feel they value my time watching them and also give substantial, important local information that is really usable.

by F___ It

My favorite news station. Especially Frank’s weather. Living in southern Laporte, I get more information for my area than other stations. Most other weather reporters stand right in front of location as they point to more “important “ areas of interest. Keep up the good work. Thanks

I couldn’t be happier about the KPRC app. Click2Houston notifies me of any news worthy announcements which were made. Yesterday I received a notice about the COVID-19 vaccine. Because of the notice I followed the link and I was able to get vaccines in an hour and a half with no line.I write Click2Houston five stars because it is a five-star app.

We have been watching Harvey storm reports for the last three days on my iPad live streaming. Otherwise we would have no news due to our Comcast TV being out of service. The this app app is easy to use and has been great. We also viewed on our iPhones. Thanks a million for this terrific app.

The Click 2 Houston app receives 5 stars because of it attractive layout and easy to access news stories. I enjoy the timely notifications that put me right at most stories as they are happening. Click 2 Houston news department has taken full advantage of Click2Houston to keep me on top of the happenings 24 hours a day.

by Gilhousen

I have always enjoyed KPRC and really like Click2Houston . It’s easy to search through. I check it everyday for my next day weather and the week ahead. Thank you channel 2 for always being up to date.

by The Maams

No matter where I travel, and I’ve traveled all over the Americas, this is the best radar app ever. The notifications of impending ominous weather has saved me numerous times. Whether I’m planning to go somewhere or I’m traveling down interstate, I just check Click2Houston and see what’s in the area or on the road ahead. There are several people who have never been to Houston who use Click2Houston because they’ve traveled with me. Get Click2Houston ! It’s the best!

by JameMcCowan

I love Click2Houston but sometimes when I get a notification I don’t see the story that piped up even sometimes when I press on the notification I can’t find the story it would be nice if this was fixed other than that thank you developers and programmers and whoever on marketing suggested this also could you add a conversation option would love to inform or update stories if source is credible or even console fellow houstonian if possible

by Marybpage

I have always been a loyal channel 2 news fan because I love all of the reporters. They are so genuine and articulate and never was that more apparent than during this time. Several reporters were seen comforting the very people they were interviewing who were overcome with their own emotions about this president. They all conveyed their pride in being able to cover this story and made us all feel a part of it.

by Alrobinson89

I grew up in the Houston area & this was the local news that we watched in my home. I live out of state now but I still have families & friends that live there. They did amazing job when hurricane Harvey hit & before it made landfall. They stayed on air 24 hour during Harvey & little after. I was able to keep informed about what was going on. The other information that is available like traffic, so you know what the roads.

Click2Houston is good, the content is timely, however, one expects reporting to be unbiased. The language and perspective of many articles, especially political articles, are blatantly biased. This begs the question, can I trust the information? Is this news or is it a tabloid? Is this all the news or is it just articles that fit into the frame of the bias? I welcome all perspectives, however, I read the news for facts to enable me to form my own opinions. What happened to journalism ethics?

by Fxltx

Your coverage of local news is great, however the only video links that ever play are those inside of tweets included in the text of your news items. The primary video links lead to a dead, black screen that obscures the rest of the article and never plays! I’ve found NO setting to correct this problem, and it’s not merely on my iPhone.

by SYL Manvel

I watch the 5:00pm news (and the 5:30 news) every day. I can tell if my TV is on the wrong channel just by the voices, pacing and timing of the reports as they're read. Please continue the good work. I really wish Saturday news could be like the rest of the week.

by Kkukura

I've been living in Germany for almost five years and I missed watching my favorite news station. During Hurricane Harvey I downloaded Click2Houston so I could stay connected to how things were going in Houston. I now check the news daily.

by Dragonorca

Need old style back easier to identify top stories don't need video from tv put video not from tv back stories Less sports more positive stories that affect our day in Houston

by SheldoWillie

I had cable and was able to watch any news station for updates for the first 2 days. But when the cable went out, only Click2Houston provided the services I needed to make sure my family was safe. THANK YOU.

by Bluetexjrt

My husband and I only watch news, weather and sports on KPRC. We know you are providing the most accurate and current stories. When we travel, even out of the country, it’s your app we go to for news.
