Ratings and Reviews
Prior Version was Better
The prior version had a much better interface. It had more and better choices of articles and used space more efficiently. Sure, it was a little clunky, but now, there is so little information, and so much wasted space. I'd love to be a part of a testing, feedback, or focus group for future releases.
Hot mess
This app is such a mess. Ads pop up and the swipe up to dismiss is almost the same gesture as closing the app on iPhone, so 9 times out of 10 I accidentally close it. Video ads start running immediately so you can’t just read the article and see the picture related to the article (today it was a girl doing bridge pose instead of the suspect police are asking public to look for). Articles lack punctuation, spelling and capitalization errors are everywhere. It’s fine for just seeing the notification blurbs that come up, but don’t bother clicking them, it’s all downhill from there.
Can’t read stories that have videos
I used to be able to choose to read the stories instead of watching videos on my iPad. I wrote in about a week ago telling them that there was a problem. I haven’t heard anything back nor has the problem been rectified. So, I’ll be deleting this app and finding another way to get news. It won’t be from KOIN since I can only conclude they don’t care if their customers can access their product. That means I won’t be seeing their advertisements, either.
