Contact KRON4 News Support

This is the most difficult news app I’ve ever used. Not only does it CONSTANTLY freeze in middle of articles where I have to shut down app and try again, I REALLY feel I should be able to simply read an article WITHOUT being subject to the accompanying video. The video says “tap to watch”, but that’s not true. Videos start automatically each and every time I start reading. THUS, my family is awoken and I have to quickly punch my phone volume to mute it. Not ok to project noise without my consent. But that’s what this app does. So frustrating with KRON4. I emailed your news station with plea for assistance on how to opt out of auto video, but never heard back. Is it only me that has this issue?

This is probably one of the worst apps out here. You can easily set it up to get alerts, but then when you try to actually watch the live stream they are alerting you to it simply does not work. When trying to get updates on the Napa fire I got a notification that there’s a Cal fire press conference but the app does not connect at all even with a perfect high-speed Internet connection The app ought to be scrapped and rewritten. Do not rely on it if you are trying to get any kind of news

The app is good for the most part, but once a week or so I notice that more and more non-important alerts keep popping up in my notifications. I go into the app, and, sure enough, alerts like “Trending Now” are reenabled automatically. I shut them all off except for “News Alerts” and the process repeats itself later. It’s getting very annoying. I’m still keeping an eye out for a better local news app that doesn’t spam me with superfluous notifications in attempts to harvest more clicks.
