Terrible ad laced news app – KY3 News V3 Review

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...
