Somehow have words that are left out and some are misspelled words. Also, when you click on the link you receive on the phone via text a lot of times the links do not go to the stories. -- Leighsmathers, 2026-07-04 ### *---- "Doesn’t work" Try to open on iPhone and says unable to open app. Deleted and downloaded. Same issue. Tried to contact KIRO app help but takes you to their News website. -- fireman0175, 2026-06-06 ### **--- "Dual videos" 30 sec long repeating ads between news clips that are almost always less long than that - no thanks. -- Apfelmaennchen, 2026-05-21 ### *---- "Fix the app and the reporter that put news on it or disconnect the app completely!" KIRO s reporter too lazy to go out find news news so they put same story double or even triple time to fill in those aren't reporters the should be unemployed workers? -- dfafef, 2026-04-30 ### **--- "Too many repetitive ads" It hard to access the news from media hype, such as foods that cause dementia or how to stop ringing in the ears. I’d rather get just news. Offer a section for all the sponsored stuff and keep it out of the news section. -- K in Tacoma, 2026-03-09 ### *---- "The worst. Your app sends my phone teasers for stories to see- then they are not to be found-ever." Your app is the worst. Example: my phone gives me a headline of a story on your app, I click on it to see the story and then I DON’T. It doesn’t go to the story , it goes to an ad on the app then the story I’m wanting to read or watch is nowhere to be found. THE WORST! -- Ann57;), 2026-03-05 ### ***** "Stay informed" I like that KIRO I on top of what is happening and lets us know right away! -- Miss. Chris, 2026-01-27 ### **--- "Too many glitches" The amount of glitches when trying to watch live is so unhelpful. The ads will play during crucial times of reports and then a commercial break will happen right after. I have heard no news coverage. Then I’ll hear both the reports and the commercial and the ad all at the same time. The glitches make the app so unhelpful. -- Welp8, 2026-01-15 ### *---- "Ads ads ads" A virtually useless app, it’s gives you news alerts, but if you click on them to learn more, it just takes you to a “live feed” of whatever they happen to be broadcasting at the time, not the actual story. Though before you can see anything, here’s an ad first! Very dystopian especially if you click on a story about a tragedy then there’s some happy go lucky ad with people smiling and laughing. -- rob86437, 2025-12-18 ### *---- "Unusable" Only thing that plays in videos is ads, news stories play for few seconds then another ad. Tried repeatedly and always the same -- Saxman42, 2025-12-17 [View all KIRO 7 News reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## KIRO 7 News Discovered Keywords - city of seattle - seatac - seattle news ## Apps Similar to KIRO 7 News - [Portland, Oregon News from KGW](https://apptail.io/app/portland-oregon-news-from-kgw-sFP/united-states) - [KOIN 6 News - Portland News](https://apptail.io/app/koin-6-news-portland-news-wFP/united-states) - [Spokane News from KREM](https://apptail.io/app/spokane-news-from-krem-VZFb/united-states) - [KOMO News Seattle](https://apptail.io/app/komo-news-seattle-doSc/united-states) - [KING 5 News for Seattle/Tacoma](https://apptail.io/app/king-5-news-for-seattletacoma-AAZc/united-states) - [Seattle Times Mobile](https://apptail.io/app/seattle-times-mobile-ckbd/united-states) - [Seattle Times Print Replica](https://apptail.io/app/seattle-times-print-replica-dVAd/united-states) - [KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM](https://apptail.io/app/kiro-newsradio-973-fm-NMue/united-states) - [Tacoma News Tribune | Local WA](https://apptail.io/app/tacoma-news-tribune-local-wa-KKxe/united-states) - [KUOW Puget Sound Public Radio](https://apptail.io/app/kuow-puget-sound-public-radio-DgVf/united-states) ## KIRO 7 News Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/kiro-7-news-rRtc/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/kiro-7-news-rRtc/canada) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
