KSHB 41 Kansas City News Reviews

This is the only local news app for me.
I used to be—years ago—a faithful user of a different news app. It was tinkered with until it was unrecognizable, with ads popping up at unexpected times.
Not so the KSHB news app. It seems to me when I got it, years ago, I may have paid a small fee, but I would pay it ten times over. No ads popping out at me, I just click the easy-to-find story I want to look at, and I can read the story or watch it, or both. Naturally it includes national news, so I feel very up to date.

My Wife and I always rely on 41 news and weather everyday for correct up to the minute news and weather. We absolutely love Kevin and Ms Dea for our news, and Gary for our weather. The three of them makes us feel line we are listening to family, and always folks we totally trust. Thank you so much for all that you guys do!!!

There are some time lagging issues when under heavy use, but the video and sound come through efficiently and with quality. The news casters are all top notch experienced personalities who are very personal and yet professional. All of the metro KC area is fairly represented in news, weather, sports, and the humanities.

I’ve tried other station; this one consistently gives me everything I need, and want, in my local news. Gary is the best in town, and in the cities I’ve visited far and away the most passionate.

Your advertisements, especially from NFM (who seems to pay for most of the commercial spots), are very annoying and concerning. When something major happens in this city, and or a major weather threat is imminent, I don’t feel like a 30 second commercial, or even a 15 second commercial should be produced though a simple tap, or click to access the article or video ..... when instant access is needed to crucial information. Guys/Gals come on and get this part right!!!!

I only watch channel 41, I enjoy the breaking news, the reporters, and the sports coverage. Need to give sports a little more time on each of the broadcast.

The KSHB Weather team are the most accurate meteorologists in the area. I like that I can check out what they have to say anytime. Plus they are fun to watch.

KSHB41KansasCityNews offers the most up to date and informative news updates. I only get notices of breaking news which is all I want and need! Great job KSHB!

Easy to use and convenient. I can see the weather anytime. I can watch the video or read the article. Local and some national stories, too.

I love all the various live viewing options: news, COVID-19 updates. etc. keep up the great work!

I have this application for both my AppleTV fourth-generation, and my iPhone 6s. For some reason, I have no notifications coming in on the iPhone. Why is this? Is this broken? You might want to look at why this is happening. When I go to the AppleTV fourth-generation, I do not see a broadcast playing either when it is live. It just says the channel name.

Best weather team in all of KC! Gary and his bunch keep things fun but to the point. Can always trust their forecast wit the LRC. App is clean and easy to use.

Love the quick updates with my app especially Gary Lezak’s weat! Watched this station since it came on the air. At least since 1954!

Love KSHB41KansasCityNews easy to use, following all the KC news and weather 😎

KSHB41KansasCityNews needs major improvement not user-friendly is supposed to be weather related but it leaves a lot to desire very laggy same goes for the website total I can’t hear anything doesn’t matter what device you’re on

Love KSHB41KansasCityNews! User friendly and precise content with the best weather team in KC.

KSHB41KansasCityNews is much improved!

We can think, you do not need to tell us how to interpret the news.
What about showing both sides once in a while?

I use to watch the weather videos faithfully on KSHB41KansasCityNews. Now they won’t play. The ad plays just fine and then the news video hangs. I wait forever with no luck. Bye bye KSHB weather team!

Constantly crashes, typos galore in the stories, can’t zoom in on photos, very infrequently updated with new stories.

Questionable use when free. Definitely don’t pay for this.

Perfect for on-the-spot weather information, as well as all other local news. Great easy to navigate user interface!

KSHB41KansasCityNews works fine, but the Nebraska Furniture Ads between segments and clips are loud, obnoxious, and downright unbearable. At times, no fewer than 5 NFM commercials will blare on the screen in a row. Moderate the volume of the ads and get varied sponsors.

This is an app that I open several times every day. I was so used to the ugly UI that I was used to it. Imagine my surprise when a new icon shows up today...and after opening it I realized just how bad it was before. The new look & feel is great. The UI is much easier on the eyes and the navigation is user friendly. There seems to be more content as well. Great update!

Compared to the previous KSHB app, this is horrific. The setup is terrible, I miss the ease of going directly where *I* wanted to go and DISLIKE all the pop ups. Blech. I've still been using for the weather (I like the team), but hate to try to find anything of interest or even the "news". I even checked the "preferences" specifically for breaking news, traffic and weather, hoping that would help, and good grief! I don't really think stories like "Are you afraid of Friday the 13th" qualify as "Breaking News" but there you go. Would love to go back to the other format, but they've taken away the weather radar map. Will be looking elsewhere for my local info and weather until this hot mess gets cleaned up.

Most recent update is still useless to me. I was hoping they would correct their very unpopular "update" from two months ago. No such luck- no noticeable change. I much prefer scrolling quickly through headlines, seeing news I have not yet read and selecting those stories without clicking on an ad accidentally. I'm one who prefers to read the news, not just look at ginormous pictures and have someone recite it to me. It sure would be nice if news apps allowed you to select your viewing preference. I rated previous versions of KSHB 41 News highly because they did NOT look just like this version does. I'll read my news elsewhere now.

I was looking forward to using KSHB41KansasCityNews a lot for all my latest updates. For the most part it worked in a timely manner with semi new news, but KSHB41KansasCityNews continuously crashes not just on itself but caused my iPhone to completely blank out. I had to Master reset the whole thing. I logged into KSHB41KansasCityNews more than once with an error message "serious error occurred". The first time I thought maybe I just got a bad batch on the iPhone system, but the second time it happened and crashed my phone I was done with it. No other app(s) on my phone have ever displayed this type if message. Just beware of this crummy app!

For the most part the new app is not really that bad. My main issue is you need to have sections for local and national news. Having all on one page is tedious. I believe most people probably use your app to check for local headlines and not the national news so your main focus should stay local. You also need the other sections that are available on your website. Right now KSHB41KansasCityNews is pretty limited. Aesthetically I like the look better than the old version.

Living in the Midwest is completely nuts. Between the gun carrying nutbags and the tornados trying to carry you away, things can get unruly. I use KSHB41KansasCityNews throughout the day to stay up to date on headlines, weather and traffic. All the stations have these apps. I just happen to like the story selection on this one best.

Probably the best app for Kansas City area news. Easy to navigate with a clean interface. Usually alerts me to breaking news stories before other apps. Good for watching local KC news when you're out-of-town.
