Really ?

I complained directly to kcci bout the content being old - such as story where “tax payers will fund demolition of a building in Kansas City “, and the sports stories don’t change for days , “nascar ownership considering sale “ . Not going to name names of other apps or local news stations but I think the live news of kcci is great , but they are handing the running of the app over to a bunch of kids .

It’s very evident that your station is very liberal and that time given to a conservative viewpoint is non existent. You have become part of the fake news! Because of that I have quit watching KCCI except for the weather.
Could be a lot better

Chip pop up app is constantly opening. Try to read a story and you have to close it every couple of seconds. Old content, same stories on the page for several months.
To Worse, WOW even worse now 2018

The only App with Pop-up Commercials! The is horrible, when that happens to me I just close the app, and go somewhere else for Iowa News. How dare you waste my data plan minutes I pay for with a commercial. If I want to watch an ad I’LL MAKE THE DECISION. I understand if I pick a video to watch, (commercial first then video) Normally I just turn the volume off, and come back in 30 seconds. But unwanted commercial I didn’t ask for. Pff… Bad design and difficult to follow/use. The most ads for a news group, HORRIBLE. Takes over my speakers and shuts down my music too, if I wanted to listen to a story I understand. This is the only app I have that does that. Which is why I rarely use it first, I'll go to other Media apps 1st. Rating STILL has not changed. Too slanted information and not just the facts. Turns OFF my music that I'm listening to, no other app does this, why?. I avoid this app for news due to this issue while listening to music. Too many Ads, and worthless news. Still the same only app to shut off my speakers. Too May ads!!! Silly miss leading headlines. Oh and now using VUZ, BAD choice how about some national news from CBS. Still a 1 star, be a half star if they had it.

When we open it, the temp is always 90 degrees, then it changed to correct temperature at that time. Can you fix it?
Old app was better

The old app was way easier to navigate. Straight forward. If I wanted to watch the news, I would turn on the TV. I have this app so I can READ the news and check the weather. I never know if I am going to get a blaring video that automatically pops up or an actual news article to read. I am not always in a setting where it is appropriate to watch a video. Sometimes the video content and body of written article don't even match up. I want the choice to watch a video when available, not to be forced by pop up. If not changes soon, I will be looking for another source of information.
Ads, ads, ads

This was the only app I used for local news, but now ads pop up every few minutes. So now it’s deleted.
Redo Site

I really don’t like it when there is a breaking story that comes up in the news feed but then you cannot find it for an extended time period on the site. You also need to organize the pages by tabs...local news, state news, national and international news, weather and sports. Get rid of old stuff. Finally, make your weather both video and text. To see the weather, I don’t need to see a video (after a commercial) about the weather.
