I liked the app fine before, but now almost every story is a video. I don’t want a video, I want to read the story! If I wanted to watch a video, I would turn on the news.

I’ve had another local news app for years, deleting it at least 3 times, dealing with countless crashes, numerous ad pop-ups, difficulty loading and navigating, etc. I finally deleted it for good and decided to try KLKN News 8, (which is the TV news we watch). So glad I did! Right away, no stupid passwords, easy to navigate, concise, well-written stories w/o a lot of opinions!!! They even know how to spell! Videos load easily and has news, weather, sports and news from my county. Love it! Highly recommended. Thank you for this great app!

I have this app because I want local news alerts. I mean, what else am I supposed to do? Buy a paper that comes out tomorrow morning? Actually sit in front of terrestrial television at a prescribed time? Use the competitors clone app (that curiously has the exact same notifications)? So, I'm stuck with this, although I do consider relegating local news to word of mouth again.What's my problem? You couldn't pay me to care about Husker sports. It's fine if you really care, but I don't. Yet, probably two-thirds of channel 8's notifications are about Husker sports. Instead of the convenience of near real-time local news, I find myself constantly batting away every trivial thing that happens in Husker Nation.Seriously, if you introduce a settings toggle to turn off the onslaught, I'll edit my review to five stars.

You had a chance
I had to delete the app. I’m not waiting through a 30 second ad to read something that takes 20 seconds. And I hate that it constantly goes back to an old story before going to the story list after reading a story from notifications, sometimes before even going to the story I clicked in notifications! And the news is often written by someone who apparently knows less about it than I do, like they are just trying to come up with things they think people will click. Apparently the app is so bad that it won’t let you create a nickname, so you can’t post, if you’ve written a bad review.

Updated Video Play Button: The play button design has been improved for better visibility across all video backgrounds. Clearer Video Indicators: Image preview cards now display a ‘Play’ icon in the bottom-left corner if a video is attached. Audio Asset Display Fix: Audio assets now correctly appear in the article cover carousel. Push Notification Bug Fix: Opening a push notification outside the app now takes you directly to the intended content without extra prompts.
