KPLC 7NEWS App Comentários

Too many ads make this useless

This should be a news app but it’s mostly ads making this app almost useless. Terrible experience every time I attempt to use this app. I can never find what I’m searching for.

Politically biased

Very leftist

Politically biased

Posts news based on their own opinion.

This app is useless

It is really difficult to actually find any substantial news on this app because of all the advertisements. The news articles is also misleading. This app along with its sister app first alert weather app is junk. Put real news on the app Not advertising!!!!!

They’re good at updating the community

They’re good at updating the community, but you can tell they slide one way politically. It kinda gets under my skin, how it’s just a one way view app that my community reads. Everyone, not just that one sided way of thinking. Just a tad bit frustrating. Other than that. I do find this app helpful.

Partisan political trash

This news organization will always find a way to trash their political rivals. Turning the aftermath of a former president and current presidential candidate into an opportunity to bash those with whom they disagree. I am deleting this application from my phone and will no longer allow their propaganda into my home. May God have mercy on our nation.

STOP FORCING ADS WHEN TRYING TO OPEN AN ARTICLE

The app itself is alright. I get notifications on things that I didn’t want notifications for, and the ads that are in the app are horrendous. Constantly featuring outright false advertisement, and an ad is forced on you every time you open the app.

Invasive ads. No warning.

I understand that’s how you make money, but when I’m in the app at 10:30PM I don’t want to see much less hear an ad for an injury attorney at full volume. Neither does anyone else. At least go back to silent full screen ads. The app experience is far better on Samsung with ADblock Pro.

Locked up

I have downloaded and deleted and redownloaded this app twice and it stays locked on the first page which is some settings. No way to get out of it so it is no good to me.

KPLC news app on iPhone is frozen

App on my iPhone is frozen tried deleting and re install but still does not work

Disappointed

This app is useless.

News crew can’t follow notification settings

Your crew constantly puts sport results under the news header. What’s the point in having setting for what you want to be notified for or not be notified for if everything is “news”? Huge spoiler for busy families that plan to watch a game or currently watching a game behind live tv and your team is sending out results as soon as the game ends and your still in the 5th inning/3rd quarter. Previous GM fixed it but current GM won’t. Never even replied to my calls or emails. Unfortunately, have no choice but to delete the app and miss out on all traffic and real breaking news because the KPLC team doesn’t follow the notification settings and chooses to be first with all news rather than have morals!

Fan

The new newscaster needs to stop the funny looking hand motions. He is a great speaker just takes away from his performance.

How do you share?

No way to share a story without driving people to the app…🤔🤔🤔🤔

Voice over ads

I do not want an ad with a voice over popping up when I open the app. This is very annoying and also disruptive.

Real news

Why don’t you guys ever cover news that matters like Hunter Bide being indicted.

KPLC News

I live the nes articles, alerts and updates that come on my phone!! Thanks to y’all!

Sports

Need to update scores often. Still got scores from 3-4 days ago. Games were played last night and no scores shown.

Eye Discomfort

There is still screen tearing while scrolling through the newsfeed, after the latest update. I use an iPhone 13 Pro. Please fix this. It makes using the app unnecessarily unpleasant. Reading the news shouldn’t cause eye discomfort. I give 3 stars because the layout of everything else is great.

Traffic alerts

It would be so nice if KPLC would prioritize their alerts. Traffic congestion is very important especially at 8:00 am and 5:00pm. The only alerts we got today around 5:00pm was about Will Wade. Prioritize please!!

Lacks consistency in timely local news updates

I have noticed that there has been a lot of inconsistencies in timely local news updates. Today (9-9-22) @ 11:00am there are no new local news updates. Same as yesterday. I live several states away, but like to keep up with what is going on in my home area. This seems to be an ongoing problem.

Sports

Very poor coverage

Last Update Broke/Removed PiP

Last update broke/removed the picture-in-picture functionality while watching live broadcasts. It’s important b/c people have to use their phones or control lights in the morning while the newscast is on. Is there any QC any more?

Weather Stats

Bring back the weather stats, plus moon and sun rise and set times.

Nothing but ads

All of the “sponsored” stories are nothing but clickbait advertisements. Way way way too many of them.

App not working

On my iPhone and iPad not opening since the last update.

Blah!!

So tired of all the ads!!! All I want is to read the news not open the app, click the x to close an advertisement, then be scared to death because an ad for a casino game starts blaring over my speaker! You can do better than this KPLC!

App will not load

App will not load

High school scores

Sorry app. Can’t even get high school scores. Worst app ever

Consumer

Too often no response

App is useless

It will send you a notification of breaking news but there is no story. Is there a way to give 0 stars?

Do not like recent change

Do like the updated version, you do not include first alert weather written forecast in news or weather. I do not like the changes you have made and must go elsewhere to find what I am looking to learn.

Sub-par

The app once was pretty functional. Very easy to use, click on app and the news. Now it’s an absolute train wreck. Works when it wants to, irrelevant content, can’t open app without an ad, whomever designed this one, I’d ask for a refund.

CB

I pretty sure this is the worst app I’ve been on. I’m an IT Person, this app is in the bottom 2!

Not loading

Since the newest update, every story I try to look at doesn’t load properly

New app is absolutely horrible. Freezes, ads everywhere as such you can’t see content. Just awful.

Absolutely horrible.

Newest update terrible

This app has drastically changed. There is more advertising than news. Terrible format

Doesn’t open

Since the upgrade it will not Open

UpdateUpdated this app this morning5/12/21 won’t open on my apple devices.

App won’t open on any of my apple devices since I updated the app last night 6/20/2019

New app crashes

😡 I don’t like this app. I miss the old one. This one crashes a lot. When you clear alerts it says it’s cleared but the nest day ALL the alerts are back... what a mess

Update

This is by far the worst update I can barley check the news on my phone. I have to open and close the app 3-4 times just to get it to work

The new version of the app

This app version is terrible! I deleted it!

Latest update

Worst app update ever. Started with sound on new notifications. Tiles too cumbersome to get to news. Uninstalling app. Sticking with KATC app. Funny how they seem to have Lake Charles need faster than KPLC. 😞

Good until version 6.6.5

Version 6.6.4 worked great. Then they updated the whole app. Personally, I find the tile-layout on the home screen to be too much. There’s so many fonts and colors, it’s all distracting. There’s just too much going on. I understand what they were trying to do, but I think more uniformity would have helped make it easier to use. And anytime I click the bell icon, then click a notification to view, I get kicked out of the app and can’t view any notifications. Frustrating.

The new update is horrible

The new app is horrible. Nothing but adds popping up and the Home Screen is just confusing and filled with ads. I no longer even open up the app.

Broken app

This app is even more buggy than it was before the update. Can’t get videos to play the ads just repeat when they are finished. If I’m lucky enough to get the news video to play once I turn my phone to the side it stops and plays another ad.

Used to be 5 star

The newest update is busy and the alert sounds are awful. I plan to uninstall the app if nothing is done about the sounds. I can adjust to the new look as change is inevitable, but the sound.... ahhhhh.

Terrible

When and if the app opens, it’s a horrible layout. Very slow to open if it does at all and even the apps icon is hideous with rough edges and all.

Very biased media. It’s a shame.

They are a very biased news outlet.
