The only way I would rate this app a 5 star rating is to have all churches in Cedar Rapids, IA listed on the Closings/Cancellations list. I would like to see Hillside Wesleyan Church listed for another choice to know when it cancels on Sunday morning do to this snowstorm, or whenever it happens to closes or cancels an event or church please. Bruce Aune and his wife have been to my church and they know Pastor Kirk Statler. I would appreciate my Hillside Wesleyan Church to be added to your future list of Closings/Cancellations. Thank you, O’Ck. Sacandfox-Gillilan. January 18, 2019

I often try to stream the morning news before work. Usually after 10 minutes of commercials, which consist of pop-ups, 3 regular commercials, and several blank screen audio commercials, the news finally appears only to show that I have just missed the weather and anything else I may have been interested in watching. So my morning viewing consists of muting the annoying commercials for up to 10 minutes, then giving up on the app. Too many ads have handicapped your app and live video stream. Then there are other days when the app just loads forever and does nothing.

It’s utterly disgraceful to see a news organization consistently publish stories with so many grammatical and punctuation errors. Do you have any editors? App crashes consistently. Weather is pretty useless. Give me a forecast...in words...for the next 24 hours. Also, if you are predicting record highs or lows, follow up on it. People are actually interested to know if we had new records.

Cedar Rapids native here. KCRG has always been my go-to news source. No complaints about the station and what they do. This app, though, does NOT do them justice. The good people at KCRG deserve a better app. Half the time when it gives me a notification with “tap to learn more”, it doesn’t open properly. Frequently when I try to open the app, it gives an error message “Error Downloading Data - Please try again. If the issue persists, please try closing the app.” And it keeps popping up, even after several times closing and attempting to re-open. Granted, there are more pressing issues in spring 2020 than to clean up the app. Just adding some honest feedback in a time when many people are tuning in to the news more frequently. TLDR: KCRG is a great news source. This app occasionally lets you see said news.

I had issues with this app and deleted it to reload. The app says it requires iOS 9 or better. I have 9.3.5 which is current for my generation iPad but the app says it is not compatible with my iPad now. Guess I'll have to rely on CBS2 for my news and weather from now on. Things sure have changed since Gray took over, and not for the better.
