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.

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.

We are not receiving the paper out where we live so I the KAIT NEWS is important. This new NOTIFICATION PROGRAM is not working for me so have removed the app and now reinstalled. Hopefully better this go round. Adding the Obituaries would be most important because they are only in the news paper.
