KCRA 3 News - Sacramento

It is just frustrating and sad that whenever I go to read a news report, the sentences cut off above an advertisement displayed. They never continue, and I’m left without information. This happens again and again...and again. Also whenever a Twitter quote/post is within the content of the report, while scrolling, the text will flicker and disappear. It jumps around. I mostly ignore the ads but I do concur with other reviewers. I do understand the need for the ads for revenue but there is a point where it is too much and distracts from the news report. Also sometimes, the video accompanying the report has nothing to do with the report at all; there’s no correlation. Now I’ve been watching KCRA for years, and have been using their app for a few years. I will continue to use and support KCRA but some fixes in the app are very much needed. Thank you for all you do!

I have used and really liked this app for several years. However, in recent weeks, I haven’t been able to read all the content of many articles. Sentences will be left unfinished where an ad is stuck in the middle of an article. I haven’t been able to get rid of the ad, or to find the rest of the article. Instead, the article is often continued without ever being able to complete the section I was reading. I am not always in a location where I can view a video, so it’s important to be able to read the article in it’s entirety. KCRA 3 has been my favorite local news & weather station for more than 30 years. While I will continue to watch it on TV, I’m considering looking for another local news app on my iPhone.

I have had the KCRA App for a long time, I deleted it for about 3 months because I felt the content was mostly sensationalized pieces that had nothing to do with our local area. I added the app back recently, i’m still disappointed, some of the content has gotten better, however, the feature of pop up ads while reading an article has become beyond annoying. I know advertising is what makes the app free, I have no problem watching an advertisement before a video plays (it is annoying however I understand it makes the app free). Yet when just reading an article an advertisement pops up and blocks the entire screen and when it’s over I touch the X icon in the upper corner and the ad goes away for a few moments giving time to read just a few lines of the article and then the advertisement pops back up again. I changed settings for the app. I’ve deleted it and added it again and when reading the articles the pop-up ad comes back again and again and again and again. I can’t even read a full article. I’m done with this app.

I like the increased amount of stories, and the old app would often not display pictures or play videos, but this app has gone overboard on video. First, you have to scroll through large video still to find the news stories. That is slow. Then you have to wait and watch a thirty second commercial before each and every video. 30 seconds of ad before every story is ridiculous. Also, they have stories categorized by local communities. I wish they had a category for regional news. You would think a news site that bills itself as serving Northern California would have thought of that. If they don't tweak a few things I will not use the app much. Too few news stories as well, and some are stale old news. To keep a story that says "fire breaks out" for weeks is misleading.

I love your app… Not only locally, but because I also work with a fire agency for California, I am alerted with all the local news which really helps me know what’s going on daily! Im out in the field for a month and sometimes month and half at a time! I really appreciate all that KCRA has done to keep me Inform with the local news. Thanks for keeping me informed !!!! love your staff , love the information and appreciate your honest news and Mark Finan is Especially important to me because of the fire weather and the humidity… Thats very important for the job that I do thank you!
