Ratings and reviews

I like that the latest update FINALLY has dark mode. But there are Too Many Ads! This is a news app and I can't even get to the first news story without an ad first showing up. Then once I'm in a story, there are more ads on the story page. I think the KAIT team does a good job for the most part, but how about less AP Wire stuff and celebrity deaths and more local news.

I am not sure what occurred during the latest app update, but the app tends to lockup(freeze) or gets very sluggish. I have been opening the app less and less over the passed weeks. Last occurrence, I had to restart my phone to get out of the app.

This app is totally useless. Installed this on my Roku TV and cannot play any of our local news casts or weather casts. After a few minutes, the app shuts off and returns me to my Roku home screen. I have reinstalled the app several times with no success. Removed it and will rely on the app on my phone.
