Outstanding Performance. Able to keep up with the news, and local news coverage. I’m always looking forward to hearing about what is going on in the community.

Your old app was redundant but this new updated version gives redundancy a whole new name. I literally hate the new format you have chosen. I see the same stories 3 to 4 time at least as I scroll and scroll and scroll trying to read the news. Take a look at any other news app. You can see all the stories at a glance and older stories are kept for a bit near the end. Very easy to see and get to what you want to read. I don’t need for you to make each story headline the size of my entire screen. If someone needs Very Large pic and print size they can control that on their device. You don’t even have a link for the weather anymore. I found it by clicking on the temp in the corner but it only gives hour by hour. What happened to 10 day forecast.Ya’ll really need to fix this mess. It looks like some child made this. I plan to delete your app unless you can update it to a more pleasing format. I’ve already deleted your app off of one of my devices.

The new app seems to be okay, except for two things:1) At the start of first use, it asked me to enable in-app tracking, and wouldn’t allow the setup to continue until I enabled it. “Allow Apps to Request to Track” is disabled by default in iOS, and the KCBD app doesn’t show up in the list of apps that have requested to track, so I don’t know if I really enabled tracking, and;2) After tapping on an article, the new app presents an ad, then allows you to continue on to the story (just like the Texas Storm Chasers app - is this from the same app provider?), but unlike the TSC app, a new ad appears every time the screen refreshes, even while in the same article. Pretty annoying, really.

The app is terribly designed. It gives “I’m an entry level employee who mentioned being interested in coding to my boss. I don’t actually know anything about it, but I was voluntold to complete this project. I watched free videos online, and this is the best I could do” vibes. You can’t highlight or copy anything to look it up and research further. You can’t click on or expand pictures without exiting the article afterwards. There’s no dark mode. The opening layout is okay, and that’s the best I can say. The basic smart phone consumer has expectations for mobile apps, but this one does not meet them.
