KIRO 7 News App- Seattle Area 4+

I use this for traffic updates but otherwise it’s unbearable.

The notifications are worthless. Sometimes it loads your story. Sometimes not. Lots of sports spam and always a video ad.

KIRO wants to load a video ad before each news story regardless of data/WiFi so they don’t care if some people are on capped plans or slow connections.

Then, most of the time, the story you’re clicking on the notification for doesn’t load and can’t be found 🤷‍♀️.

There are way too many sports notifications and no way to turn them off 🤦‍♀️

And people with the app probably don’t care about on air stories and don’t want notifications about stories coming up on air. Keep what is in the app local to the app.

And let me mention again that there are major issues with the video ads and notifications.

Hi KIRO7 - I'm nothing without Michelle, Tracy T. Matthew, Tracey and Nick in the morning! This whole week the KIRO News App on my i-pad, Firestick, AND PrimeTV is not working. It goes through the same 3 commercials then gets stuck. I’ve uninstalled on all of my devices and then reinstalled the app. Still getting stuck on the same commercials. I’ve tweeted to make you aware. I have sent you a DM as well. Still nothing. Help?!?

Way to many ad banners for kiro tv. I have counted as many as 7 after you go to commercial. Even then I have to click “ watch live three times to get back to the news only to find they are half way thru an article I was interested in. Also some of the anchors are very biased and don’t do a good job of investigating. Jesse Jones is about the only one who thoroughly investigates.
