I can never get the videos to load and play.

I’ve had many issues with this app. I have had a problem with trying to view a tornado warning to find out if my family needed to move to the basement when an ad popped up and covered the whole screen where I could no longer see the weather warning. Every time I went back in it happened again. Recently the app has stopped working altogether. It either kicks me out as soon as I get in or won’t let me in at all. Unfortunately, I’ve had to delete the app because if these issues.

What happened?

This has been a fairly standard news app with typical ad heavy content that worked great. However, since 1.1.5 a month ago, the continuous crashing and general unpredictability have prompted me to avoid using this app.

Terrible ad laced news app

KY3 shouldn’t use their mobile news app as just another advertisement platform. We local TV viewers get enough of that when trying to watch 60 seconds of TV news that’s chased with commercial after commercial that lasts twice as long as the actual news. The first experience of the app starts out okay, but the next time you open the app you will see a full page ad, and ad banners in the middle plus at the bottom of the feed screens as well, and they are native ads, which means they look like news but its disguised as an ad. The overall usage of the app becomes “guess what’s behind this news picture, advertisement or news...?” Drop the ads in your feeds and the 50 pixel bottom ad as well, show an interstitial ad only once every 3rd or 4th time I come into the app (and enable app resume), plus give an option to not show pictures in-feed because of bandwidth, and you might have something here...as long as you don’t decide to send push alerts as advertisements to me too...

Used to be better

You lost me with the count on the app of how many breaking stories and the large ads.

Advertising before getting to 1st APP Screen.

I hate having to X out of an AD before seeing the 1st Screen of KY3.

Huge opening ad

This is much better than the previous version, but the ad that pops up over the whole screen immediately on opening is too much. Do you really need a 5 second ad in addition to all of the ads in there regular news feed? I will be deleting and reading local news from a different source. Latest version is a huge battery drain. Reading two stories makes by battery drop 20%. Edit: the return of the ad on the splash screen has done it. I have deleted and switched to a different local news provider who still had plenty of ads in their app but are not nearly as intrusive.

Would give it 0 stars if I could.

So disappointed. Old app was so much better. The endless ads drive me nuts. It gets worse all the time. KY3 is becoming "The place NOT to be" very sad.

Spamming Ads

Your app crashes daily now ever since you added the automatic ad that you have to cancel out of. I understand the business aspect of it but it’s ridiculous how many ads you have in all of your stories. Deleting and won’t download again unless you fix the crashing problems and report news as opposed to selling advertising.

Too many ads!

I know you have to pay for the app somehow, but when you added the huge opening page add you lost me. I am deleting the app. There are many people who will pay a dollar or two for an app just so we don't have to deal with ridiculous ads while we're trying to read the news.
