There is nothing more offensive than opening an app only to have an ad blaring. There's no way to stop it other than force closing the app. Therefore, it's a useless news app if you want to check out news while you're out. There's no option to stop the ad within a few seconds. The ad blasts out for 15 long seconds and I was so embarrassed. I apologized to people around me on an airplane. The ad woke a baby. There are plenty of news apps that offer local coverage and people aren't forced to have an 15 sec ad screaming every single time the app is opened. Listen up KNBC! A good news app doesn't scream when opened. It's an absolutely wretched app.

I like getting the weather and radar! But I hate getting a news alert and then when opening the app, cannot find the “breaking news” article! There should be a special tab to see them. Also often when reading the text the sentence is cut off abruptly by an advertisement which I cannot move to see the text underneath! I understand you need to have ads, but they should not hide the text! This is so frustrating! This makes me want to throw my phone and delete the app! I will never buy anything from any such ads! It makes me want to find another new app!

I’ve been a loyal viewer of KMBC’s news for many years. I also have anxiety over tornadoes (been through a few too many LOL). When I got my first iPhone, I got KMBC’s Weather app. It was AWESOME!!!!!! I only want the current weather info...I watch the News on TV. I was really bummed when you dumped the weather app!!! I’ve tried to adapt to using the news app, but frankly, I HATE it!!!! The most irritating thing about this app is that it won’t let me choose what alert notifications I want to receive! The ONLY alerts I want are Severe T-storm and Tornado. But your app doesn’t think that’s enough. About once a week, it sends me a notification to remind me to turn on notifications!!!! And some of those have come before 8 am !!!! When I open the app to see a summary of the forecast, all I can do is watch the forecast from hours before or see the current temp & precipitation. I am able to view radar on your app, and I DO like that. But to be honest, I’ve been searching for an app like your old weather app. I hate the other TV stations apps. Channel 5’s is ok, other than sending several alerts daily, basically just annoying chit chat! The Weather Cannel’s app shows current conditions and long range forecast, but no severe weather info or radar. So, currently I am using THREE apps and only getting SOME of the info I want. PLEASE, KMBC, bring back the weather app!!!!
