Need to work on commercial volume regulation. Originally was excited to integrate this app into my morning/evening routines, however likely will be deleting and looking for a different app. For anyone looking to have the news on in the background as you multitask to get ready, you don't want to have to keep going back and forth to lower the volume when the NOTICABLY louder commercials come on, and then have to run back to turn the volume up when the news is back. Volume regulations are ignored.

CrapApp. When an alert comes up, like a bit ago mentioned confirmation of two tornados in San Antonio, when clicking on it, it doesn't ever take you to that story, and you can rarely find it without wasting significant amount of time. Deleted the app. 1/22/2019 STILL a CrapApp. the only thing that plays on the livestream is a commercial then it goes blank and nothing! uninstalling it for the last time.

Most of the stories I see are 1-2 minute videos. I usually prefer a written story anyway, but the mandatory 15/30 second, no skippable ad, really doesn't make it feel worth it. On top of that, when a notification is more than an hour old, tapping on it will open the app but NOT take me to the story. I usually can't find the story I'm looking for based on the notification.

Volume is extremely low. Tried on several devices but can't hear playback without headphones and I'm not hard of hearing. (Edit) The closed captions are comically tiny. I wish I could add a screenshot so you can see it. Too many ads. My VPN blocked almost 1000 tracking attempts by this app and its partners just in the time it took to type the review by at least 6 completely irrelevant companies: Double verify Comscore Google Amazon Taboola Integral Ad Science Edited

I am a huge KENS5 fan! I love the professionalism and friendliness of the newscast and I think the broadcasting of shows is excellent. The only thing I would change is that then I'm watching the NCIS replays you cannot hardly hear the commercials. But if you turn your volume up to where you can hear the commercials the TV program is blaring. But that is a small sacrifice for the service that I'm getting on the all Access service.
