All the lines run together. Almost as bad as the Austin Statesman. -- Juancaverones, 2024-12-27 ### **--- "Awful reception over past 2 Months JUST ON KXAN! Channel 36!!! 🥲🥲🥲🥲" PLEASE CONTACT US ASAP! Great reception on other stations! Very distraught about this issue! I have tried calling many times! It is even messing up our Favorite News programs and TV entertainment ! We HAVE Watched KXAN Even when JIM SPENSOR had hair so that has been several years! We LOVE KXAN AND WANT OUR CHANNEL BACK! It feels like we are GAVING to choose either ABC or CBS after almost 50 years! Please, Please, Please resolve this this issue and CONTACT US ASAP! Our review will change 100% when it is Resolved!!! Sincerely, W. & T. B…….. -- trb1way, 2024-10-18 ### *---- "Ad Pop-Up Blacks Out Whole Screen" Ever since the developers added the pop-up ad that starts while the app is still loading I’ve had constant problems with this app to the point where it’s become useless & I’m uninstalling. It is just not worth the aggravation of not being able to dismiss the stupid add so I can just read the news. Now the app starts to load, the ad pops up & the whole screen goes black & stays that way. Sick & tired of advertising pop-ups. I’ll just watch KVUE from now on. -- Hakjr22, 2024-09-10 ### ***-- "Good reporting, illegible app" For people whose phones are set to have a larger font size for accessibility, the KXAN app font size is unreadable. Approximately one word fits per line, and the lines crash together. And because the app is not responsive, one cannot turn the phone sideways to be able to read the articles. even with the in-app font size set to small, the text is enormous. -- NormaDGuerra, 2024-06-08 ### *---- "Add for restarting a video, really?" Went to watch a clip. Missed something. Can’t back up the video, have to reopen the article. And have to rewatch the same ad for a casino I have no interest in visiting so I can back up 5s out of the 15s I wanted to actually see if the clip. So 30s of ad for 20s of actual footage. Great job guys. -- Lieta, 2024-05-10 ### *---- "App uses invasive tracking procedures" I've been a long-time user of the KXAN News app by LIN News for staying informed about local news. However, my recent experience has led me to the decision to delete the app entirely. Upon installing VPN software, the app abruptly ceased to function, revealing its invasive tracking policies that prioritize surveillance over user privacy. It's disappointing that an app I once relied on for news has chosen to compromise user privacy in such a blatant manner. As a result, I have no choice but to remove the app from my device. This disturbing trend of sacrificing privacy for the sake of tracking is unacceptable, and it's disheartening to see it perpetuated by reputable brands. To other users concerned about their privacy, I cannot recommend continuing to use the KXAN News app. Instead, I urge developers to prioritize user privacy and security in their practices. Until then, I'll be exploring alternative news sources that respect my privacy rights. -- whitakerz, 2024-04-16 ### ***-- "Ads" So many ads it gets hard to read. Seems wrong to hide news behind ads -- Rillaan, 2024-03-28 ### *---- "iPad app forces you to watch video" I am sooo frustrated with your app. Now I can’t read any article, the ad/video covers my entire screen. Useless. I prefer to read the articles! -- NLE_geo, 2024-03-04 ### *---- "Forced to watch video" Impossible to read the stories on iPad without a giant video player on the screen. -- Hgcdrnji, 2024-02-27 ### *---- "Screen not moving" Downloaded app. Asked what I wanted to see and then press continue. Then asks about weather and my zip code but no where to scroll up or a continue button.
