KPLC 7NEWS Reviews

I enjoy having access to the mobile app, but the site isn’t updated often enough and a lot of the time seems I’m reading old news. The weekends it seems nothing is added and lately I just avoid looking at it for that reason! I enjoyed the older version v/s new updated version in appearance anyway bc the time and date information was posted with the article submitted. Love KPLC news, keep up the good work guys!

There was only one problem that I encountered recently—some of the headlines had a black font with a dark blue background that was difficult to read, but that has been cleared up, apparently—they do a great job on their mix of stories both local and national and they are outstanding on weather and traffic-thanks again—-Mike R.

Neither my fiancé’ nor I like the latest update on KPLC7NEWS . This new version is not as user friendly as the previous. Seems to have more congestion, less “flow” from story to story. Also, we’ve noticed an increase in the advertisements. We both enjoy being to keep up with the news on our cell phones as work schedules and life prohibit us from sitting in front of a TV during news broadcast hours. Possible to find a happy medium between the previous app layout and the new??? 😬

With the new update it’s much harder to view the news stories. As you scroll thru you see the same news story multiple times listed. And there are so many advertisements there is no pattern now In the news feed. It’s just chaotic and unorganized. In the past I opened KPLC7NEWS multiple times per day, if the news isn’t easy to see I won’t be using KPLC7NEWS near as frequent. Please bring back the older version.

Too much advertising and the same old news from a few days ago.

This use to be a great app. But recently it is hardly every updated for what is happening now or just was on the news. No info on community events in a timely manner. News stories are from a month ago. And the news on the tv is all fluff never things happening in our town only in the rest of the country. Not the good news and reports it use to be

I used to love KPLC7NEWS . Could get all my local news without having to go to on a website. Now KPLC7NEWS sends you a notification and when you click on it you are brought to KPLC7NEWS then redirected to their website. If I wanted to go to their website I would but I don’t. I also don’t like the new layout of it it’s not very organized.

I do not like this update on the kplc app. For one thing I saw the same add 5 times on the homepage. What was wrong with the old app? It was easy to use and did not have the same adds repeating 3 to 5 times an the home page. Also there are way to many adds on the homepage.

Version 6.6.4 worked great.

Then they updated the whole app.

Personally, I find the tile-layout on the home screen to be too much. There’s so many fonts and colors, it’s all distracting. There’s just too much going on. I understand what they were trying to do, but I think more uniformity would have helped make it easier to use.

And anytime I click the bell icon, then click a notification to view, I get kicked out of KPLC7NEWS and can’t view any notifications. Frustrating.

I really enjoy. I had to have all my cable stopped due to cost. Now I can still watch news on my phone or I pad.

A little too much lean toward Democrat liberal extremes. I do not like our President disrespected by anyone... no matter who our president is. There’s enough liberal extreme nasty views everywhere. A little less on our local venues would be nice.. even the tone of headlines is starting to make me feel ‘enough’!

KPLC7NEWS is even more buggy than it was before the update. Can’t get videos to play the ads just repeat when they are finished. If I’m lucky enough to get the news video to play once I turn my phone to the side it stops and plays another ad.

Don’t get any better than KPLC. Best up to date news and weather for southwest Louisiana!!!

Have to agree with previous reviews. Terrible update. No longer use this for news. So few news stories, so many ads. If you like Fox non-news, you’ll like it. If you prefer actual news like CNN, don’t bother to update...just delete it.

I do not like the updated app. The older version was better, too many ads everywhere!

This new updated app has WAY TOO MUCH junk in it. It’s like it’s throwing EVERYTHING IN YOUR FACE, I liked the old app where it showed the stories and weather was easy to access but looking at KPLC7NEWS is stressful. It looks like whoever created this was an amateur and tried to just shove everything in instead of paying attention to detail.

You don’t report ALL local news, your app is always the same stories from days before, instead of updating to daily news you just add one new story ....much more news to report that isn’t ever reported! Why is that? Why aren’t you reporting ALL local news????

Just did the newest update and it wouldn’t open. I had to delete and download again. Now it works. Yay

Why is it cutting out when you hit on the icon. We can’t get the news to come up. I love it but having trouble

Too many pop up adds!!! It’s my IPad and I don’t appreciate all the adds at all!!

You guys are the best!! Only thing is once in a while you’ll say you will follow up on a story but we never get it!! But you are great with local news, news near our areas, and national news!! GREAT JOB to the weather team!! Thank you MawMaw Jean

The KPLC TV app used to be filled with clear, relevant stories without a lot of fillers. Now KPLC7NEWS has far fewer updates, recycling the same stories for weeks at a time with few new stories being added. It’s also now filled with huge annoying ads and as you scroll you see the exact same stories repeated multiple times. SO DISAPPOINTED IN WHERE KPLC7NEWS HAS GONE... TO THE BIRDS!

Great local news source, but the new updates cause KPLC7NEWS to crash every time. Needs fixing ASAP!
