Great up to date news app but...

I like it when I get news notification but when I want to know more about it I need to watch it live. The only reason I want to enjoy it on my phone is so I don’t need to watch it on tv. When I click on the watch live show the story is already done so the app so kind of annoying when I see a interesting news but oh wait you need to watch live and wait till the whole story available. The news will be ready only when I guess someone enters it into the app so people can read it. It’s like reading a newspaper but only the headlines is there.
Story not available

Don’t like getting an alert about something newsworthy, but then when you open the app you need to wait until a certain time to read up on it.
Never shows stories tied to alerts

I am so tired of this app. It will send out an alert, but when you click on the alert the story isn't there or won't play. Just now, I clicked on an alert. It played, but no matter what I do, I can't get the sound to work!! Does the company that wrote this app do any testing at all? It's shameful.
Misses the mark

A news app should give you news. This app is either broken or poorly designed. I can’t figure out how to read the story, as when you tap the story it only avails the option to “watch” the news when it’s on, vice have a prerecorded library option. Lots of graphics titles but nothing of substance once you tap the picture. After I post this, I’m deleting the app and looking for, hoping for, any other option of being able to have some ability to read, or hear, about the information relative to me be in simply the weather or governmental issues in Hawaii.
Don't Bother! Use the website instead!

Updated Review: The app has improved greatly since my first review (see below). The issues listed have been resolved. HOWEVER, the app developer took away the ability to email a link to a story. When I called the station and talked to their IT person, he said that their developer thought it wasn't important and if I wanted to email a link, I would have to go to the website and email the story from there! If I have to go to the website to get the full functionality that all other phone apps already have, WHY BOTHER WITH THE APP!?! Hawaii News Now still has a fully functional app! I'm giving a rating of only two stars due to the arrogance and shortsightedness of the app developer. Original Review: S - L - O - W! Wake me up when it loads! I love KHON news. That said, the latest update has made this app excruciating to use. 1. It takes no less than 2-3 minutes to load past the white screen, then no less than 2-4 minutes to fetch the stories. (I do have fast internet, and all my other apps load very quickly. So it's not the ISP.). Then sometimes even longer for a particular story to load. 2. Another major problem is the way the stories eventually display on the screen. The story itself is displayed on only about 1/3 - 1/4 of the screen. The rest is taken up with the apps banners and advertising. This makes it very difficult to read-even on my iPhone 6 Plus. The story will eventually utilize a larger footprint, (about 60% of the screen), but it's not consistent. It will continuously bounce back & forth between the larger screen & the micro screen, until you are too dizzy to continue reading any more. It requires constant scrolling to find your place as the story continues to bounce back and forth. 3. The screen freezes. This happens regularly. You cannot scroll through the story, nor even close the app. The only way to get out of it is to completely turn off the phone. All of these issues make this a very sorry excuse for an app. Please fix it! This used to be one of my favorite news apps. The news content is great, if you can get all the way through a story, but the app is now horrible.

ISSUES WITH APP

I have been having some issues with this KHON2 app. It opens fine but when I would click on a particular article it opens then incorrect article so I would click the button to go back. And when I do that, the entire screen goes white. Its been happening every single time I do this! COULD YOU PLEASE FIX THIS? Thank you.
