KXAN - Austin News & Weather App Reviews

Horribly designed app, impossible to quickly read stories. No excuse, needs to be optimized for iPhone 6 Plus still!!! Ads are extremely intrusive and prevent the viewer from getting a story or the news at all. Really need to rethink the way your ads are presented.

Used to be great. Stopped working showing "waiting". Deleted and downloaded again. Download wont finish and will not show "Open". Will not work; totally useless. Dont waste your time.

Mainly use it for the traffic map, which is the best feature.

Latest update breaks the app, locks up at startup. Avoid it

This used to be a great app for news but now it seems like every other click or scroll is opening Safari for an ad. While in the app my time bar is flashing black,white, grey. The articles take a while to load sometimes not even loading. Ive been checking to see if there is an update but none yet. KXAN was my app for news not lately though please fix.

I had to delete this app cause every night at 9:58p a banner comes across my iPhone with some type of eye catching negative press either about cops or how a mother tortured her 5 yr old kid. This app placates to the uneducated news watcher looking for drama and useless information.

The news is informative, but the ads are everywhere. Now in the last version of this app, they have a pop up ad. Mid browsing you will have a random ad pop up and most likely be pushed to safari to the ads page. HORRIBLY ANNOYING!!! I will be deleting this app. Much better news apps out there.

Although the old version of this app looks like all the articles were written by an illiterate elementary school aged child, somehow this new version is even worse. Constant pop-ups that lock up the app when you try to close them. When I click the X to try and exit a pop-up ad, it takes me to the ad anyway then when you close it and try to go back to the app the app is locked up and you must restart your phone to get it working again. Absolutely pathetic.

Love the app, BUT it would be nice to be able to see the details of the alerts I get on my home screen!! There should be an "alerts" selection to see the story.

Whoever designed this garbage app should he fired. The front page layout is like tetris using headlines and ads. Once I actually select an article, I cant read the story or watch the video without being inundated with a slew of ads. Take some notes from other news station apps. Your app is embarrassing.

I noticed recently the sound on the videos is turned off. I cant figure out how to fix it.

Love the content, hate the app. Crashes every 2-6 minutes, then I have to restart. Help!

It was bad before and doesnt work now. FAIL

Ive seen the advertisements over and over, but cant get the news videos to play. If I click on the news story again, Im subjected to more ads. Again, no news video. What a waste.

The app is probably okay, but the Buffington Homes ad will piss you off.

Im in my bed early morning with my husband sleeping next to me. I go to KXAN app to check news & weather and the first thing that pops up is a full screen video ad for Buffington Home with automatic play which wakes up my husband before I can turn it off. NO THANK YOU!!!!

Quits while browsing stories, FAR too many ads and generally poor performance. KVUEs app is much better. Not recommended.

I like the streaming news and the weather with lightning data on radar. With the latest update though, I cant get rid of the notification number on the app icon. It says 10 but there arent any notifications when I open the app.

Cannot get rid of Number notifications on icon - no matter what I do! Annoying!!!

Its a good app for the local news. Ever since the most recent update the notifications does show up anymore and the number wont go away no matter what is done.
