## KCRG News Reviews in United States

### *---- "Dislike the new app"
Cannot even read the entire story title. Not a good upgrade imho
-- Hawkfan1967, 2026-09-28

### *---- "Ads"
When you click on a news story, you have to listen to 6-8 advertisements before reaching the story. I am deleting this app.
-- Annie am, 2026-09-22

### *---- "Ads are ridiculous now"
Forces you to let an ad play when opening any news story, then it automatically plays whatever video they have attached to the story. How about stop the ad bs and quit trying to shove it down our throats. You wanna make money off the news get rid of the ads all together and charge 2.99 a month, problem solved🙄🤷‍♂️
-- 93rhdbjwagon, 2026-07-16

### ***-- "5-17-2016 update"
I don’t like the format of the update.  To busy and the titles of the news articles are cut off.  Also don’t like the video auto play when I open an article to read.  Sometime I open it at night while my spouse is sleeping then the video makes noise before I can silence it.
-- IowaFiat, 2026-05-18

### ****- "Turn sound off"
Can’t turn off audio in settings when starting a story, very annoying. App is slow to load 
and he
-- jerry bish, 2026-05-13

### *---- "Really annoying"
While I understand the need for advertising, the way you’ve placed them on your site is very annoying. They take so long to load, and they often play continually. I can’t get to the content. And the ads below the content are revolting. They show grotesque images! Please do something about this soon.  If not, I’ll just delete the app. I’ll get my news and weather from a different local app.
-- 3of3, 2026-04-24

### **--- "Auto play video sucks"
Turn off the video auto play in EVERY story.
-- joshg249, 2026-04-04

### **--- "I just want to read the news"
Before the app was updated, I used to be able to read news articles.  Now when I open an article, the video at the top plays automatically.  It always starts with an ad, and if I don’t want to watch the video, I have to wait for the ad to run before I have the option of stopping the video.  I haven’t been able to find a way to disable autoplay.  I like to keep up on the news, but this is a borderline dealbreaker.  If this “feature” doesn’t change, I will likely find a new source for local news.
-- Avalanche77, 2026-04-02

### **--- "New update 3-24-2026"
My iPad just updated the app, I don’t like the new layout with ads sprinkled in between the article.  The biggest problem is when I open a news story the video auto plays.  This is a problem because I read the news in bed while my wife is sleeping so I don’t want the audio to start playing.  I just want to read the news.
-- IowaTopolino, 2026-03-25

### *---- "More ads then actual news"
This app was recently updated and made it worthless.   I legit can’t distinguish between the phishing ads and actual news articles.   There are so many ads it’s distracting I can’t even navigate around without some unwanted video popping up for viagra or heart medicine etc.   This app is dead to me I’ll find my news in a competitor’s app at this point.  This is complete trash
