Fix bugs!. Great local news source, but the new updates cause the app to crash every time. Needs fixing ASAP!

KPLC news. I really enjoy. I had to have all my cable stopped due to cost. Now I can still watch news on my phone or I pad.

Terrible update. Have to agree with previous reviews. Terrible update. No longer use this for news. So few news stories, so many ads. If you like Fox non-news, you’ll like it. If you prefer actual news like CNN, don’t bother to update...just delete it.

The new update is horrible. The new app is horrible. Nothing but adds popping up and the Home Screen is just confusing and filled with ads. I no longer even open up the app.

Horrible new update. I used to love the app. Could get all my local news without having to go to on a website. Now the app sends you a notification and when you click on it you are brought to the app then redirected to their website. If I wanted to go to their website I would but I don’t. I also don’t like the new layout of it it’s not very organized.

Sub-par. The app once was pretty functional. Very easy to use, click on app and the news. Now it’s an absolute train wreck. Works when it wants to, irrelevant content, can’t open app without an ad, whomever designed this one, I’d ask for a refund.

Kplc app. I do not like this update on the kplc app. For one thing I saw the same add 5 times on the homepage. What was wrong with the old app? It was easy to use and did not have the same adds repeating 3 to 5 times an the home page. Also there are way to many adds on the homepage.

Eye Discomfort. There is still screen tearing while scrolling through the newsfeed, after the latest update. I use an iPhone 13 Pro. Please fix this. It makes using the app unnecessarily unpleasant. Reading the news shouldn’t cause eye discomfort. I give 3 stars because the layout of everything else is great.

News. You don’t report ALL local news, your app is always the same stories from days before, instead of updating to daily news you just add one new story ....much more news to report that isn’t ever reported! Why is that? Why aren’t you reporting ALL local news????

Where is the news story??. So you get an alert on your home screen. Click on it and you end up in the news app. Where is the story?? If you click news, it is not there. I am not sure how to find the alert story.

Do not like recent change. Do like the updated version, you do not include first alert weather written forecast in news or weather. I do not like the changes you have made and must go elsewhere to find what I am looking to learn.

KPLC News. I live the nes articles, alerts and updates that come on my phone!! Thanks to y’all!

Sports. Need to update scores often. Still got scores from 3-4 days ago. Games were played last night and no scores shown.

Latest update. Neither my fiancé’ nor I like the latest update on the app. This new version is not as user friendly as the previous. Seems to have more congestion, less “flow” from story to story. Also, we’ve noticed an increase in the advertisements. We both enjoy being to keep up with the news on our cell phones as work schedules and life prohibit us from sitting in front of a TV during news broadcast hours. Possible to find a happy medium between the previous app layout and the new??? 😬

Broken app. This app is even more buggy than it was before the update. Can’t get videos to play the ads just repeat when they are finished. If I’m lucky enough to get the news video to play once I turn my phone to the side it stops and plays another ad.

Best up to date news available!!!. Don’t get any better than KPLC. Best up to date news and weather for southwest Louisiana!!!

Latest update. I am not able to get on since I updated it last week I click on it ant it pops up then back to my home screen

New app crashes. 😡 I don’t like this app. I miss the old one. This one crashes a lot. When you clear alerts it says it’s cleared but the nest day ALL the alerts are back... what a mess

Kplc. Too many pop up adds!!! It’s my IPad and I don’t appreciate all the adds at all!!

Ads ruined it. I like being able to access my local news. However, I’d much rather push my fingers through my eyes than have to close an ad every 3rd or 4th “story” I try to read. Come on KPLC, do you really need the extra funding from the ads? Deleting this nuisance.

Toni. Just did the newest update and it wouldn’t open. I had to delete and download again. Now it works. Yay

Traffic alerts. It would be so nice if KPLC would prioritize their alerts. Traffic congestion is very important especially at 8:00 am and 5:00pm. The only alerts we got today around 5:00pm was about Will Wade. Prioritize please!!

I like the KPLC news App. There was only one problem that I encountered recently—some of the headlines had a black font with a dark blue background that was difficult to read, but that has been cleared up, apparently—they do a great job on their mix of stories both local and national and they are outstanding on weather and traffic-thanks again—-Mike R.

Enjoy having the mobile app,, but. I enjoy having access to the mobile app, but the site isn’t updated often enough and a lot of the time seems I’m reading old news. The weekends it seems nothing is added and lately I just avoid looking at it for that reason! I enjoyed the older version v/s new updated version in appearance anyway bc the time and date information was posted with the article submitted. Love KPLC news, keep up the good work guys!

New update doesn’t provide news in easy to read format. With the new update it’s much harder to view the news stories. As you scroll thru you see the same news story multiple times listed. And there are so many advertisements there is no pattern now In the news feed. It’s just chaotic and unorganized. In the past I opened this app multiple times per day, if the news isn’t easy to see I won’t be using this app near as frequent. Please bring back the older version.

Blah!!. So tired of all the ads!!! All I want is to read the news not open the app, click the x to close an advertisement, then be scared to death because an ad for a casino game starts blaring over my speaker! You can do better than this KPLC!

KPLC 7 News. I just downloaded the update and now I can’t open it.

Other app was much better. The other app was much better. The pictures are not visible at times. You can't scroll thru the articles. Please go back to the way it used to be. This is really terrible.

Updates. Extremely poor response to new cancellations. American Press published within 12 hours. KPLC News has not responded after 48 hours, leave alone published cancellations which started March 14.

Update?!?!. Tells me there’s an update so I go to update it & there’s nothing! Go to app & continues to tell me about some update that doesn’t exist!

Ad’s. Ad’s are blocking some parts of the stories. Can not see everything. Also have to go back to home page instead of swiping to the next page. Hate this update

Never has the latest info. This use to be a great app. But recently it is hardly every updated for what is happening now or just was on the news. No info on community events in a timely manner. News stories are from a month ago. And the news on the tv is all fluff never things happening in our town only in the rest of the country. Not the good news and reports it use to be

I don’t like it.. Too much advertising and the same old news from a few days ago.

Good until version 6.6.5. Version 6.6.4 worked great. Then they updated the whole app. Personally, I find the tile-layout on the home screen to be too much. There’s so many fonts and colors, it’s all distracting. There’s just too much going on. I understand what they were trying to do, but I think more uniformity would have helped make it easier to use. And anytime I click the bell icon, then click a notification to view, I get kicked out of the app and can’t view any notifications. Frustrating.

Weather Stats. Bring back the weather stats, plus moon and sun rise and set times.

New App 👎🏻. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 This new updated app has WAY TOO MUCH junk in it. It’s like it’s throwing EVERYTHING IN YOUR FACE, I liked the old app where it showed the stories and weather was easy to access but looking at this app is stressful. It looks like whoever created this was an amateur and tried to just shove everything in instead of paying attention to detail.

Problem. Why is it cutting out when you hit on the icon. We can’t get the news to come up. I love it but having trouble

To the news & weather crew. You guys are the best!! Only thing is once in a while you’ll say you will follow up on a story but we never get it!! But you are great with local news, news near our areas, and national news!! GREAT JOB to the weather team!! Thank you MawMaw Jean

Used to be 5 star. The newest update is busy and the alert sounds are awful. I plan to uninstall the app if nothing is done about the sounds. I can adjust to the new look as change is inevitable, but the sound.... ahhhhh.

Not loading. Since the newest update, every story I try to look at doesn’t load properly

Horrible upgrade. The older version of the KPLC app was very easy to navigate. This new version is complicated to maneuver through and there are 10 times as many ads to sift through. It wasn’t broken, didn’t need fixing.

Lacks consistency in timely local news updates. I have noticed that there has been a lot of inconsistencies in timely local news updates. Today (9-9-22) @ 11:00am there are no new local news updates. Same as yesterday. I live several states away, but like to keep up with what is going on in my home area. This seems to be an ongoing problem.

Last Update Broke/Removed PiP. Last update broke/removed the picture-in-picture functionality while watching live broadcasts. It’s important b/c people have to use their phones or control lights in the morning while the newscast is on. Is there any QC any more?

Voice over ads. I do not want an ad with a voice over popping up when I open the app. This is very annoying and also disruptive.

KPLC tv. I do not like the updated app. The older version was better, too many ads everywhere!

Fan. The new newscaster needs to stop the funny looking hand motions. He is a great speaker just takes away from his performance.

Liberal news. A little too much lean toward Democrat liberal extremes. I do not like our President disrespected by anyone... no matter who our president is. There’s enough liberal extreme nasty views everywhere. A little less on our local venues would be nice.. even the tone of headlines is starting to make me feel ‘enough’!

News crew can’t follow notification settings. Your crew constantly puts sport results under the news header. What’s the point in having setting for what you want to be notified for or not be notified for if everything is “news”? Huge spoiler for busy families that plan to watch a game or currently watching a game behind live tv and your team is sending out results as soon as the game ends and your still in the 5th inning/3rd quarter. Previous GM fixed it but current GM won’t. Never even replied to my calls or emails. Unfortunately, have no choice but to delete the app and miss out on all traffic and real breaking news because the KPLC team doesn’t follow the notification settings and chooses to be first with all news rather than have morals!

Latest Version Doesn't Work. I've always enjoyed this app even with the slightly buggy ads. The latest update force closes immediately upon opening on my iPhone xR iOS 12.3.1. Please fix!

Update. This is by far the worst update I can barley check the news on my phone. I have to open and close the app 3-4 times just to get it to work

App is useless. It will send you a notification of breaking news but there is no story. Is there a way to give 0 stars?

App not working. On my iPhone and iPad not opening since the last update.

App will not load. App will not load

Disappointed. This is sorry, poor quality doesn’t work when you need it.

Don’t care for. I do not like the new layout of news. Too many advertisements.

News Review. I prefer the old app. Just my opinion

Constant Pushing Unimportant "News". So sick of this app. I want to have push notifications for important breaking news headlines--a hurricane, tornado warning, major terrorist attack, etc. I'm sick of getting constant headlines all day, every day. Please stop pushing so much and use it for what it's for--important news! I only even have the app installed to get these important updates, and I've reached the point of deleting it. It's obnoxious.

The new version of the app. This app version is terrible! I deleted it!

Boo new format. I don’t like the updated format. I would like the pictures next to each story back

CB. I pretty sure this is the worst app I’ve been on. I’m an IT Person, this app is in the bottom 2!

Latest update. Worst app update ever. Started with sound on new notifications. Tiles too cumbersome to get to news. Uninstalling app. Sticking with KATC app. Funny how they seem to have Lake Charles need faster than KPLC. 😞

All nicknames are taken. Nothing works. Can’t go from one article to another. Have to go back to beginning. Very frustrating.

Very biased media. It’s a shame.. They are a very biased news outlet.

High school scores. Sorry app. Can’t even get high school scores. Worst app ever

Please bring back old app. A real step backwards. Can u tell me how to get back to the old one. Way too many pictures and ads. I liked the concise headlines.

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.. There was nothing wrong with the old kplc app. This new thing is a joke, news rarely updates, it is slow as heck to refresh, weather looks ridiculous. It crashes, it's a waste of my space on iPhone, kplc just needs to reactivate the old app instead of trying to be fancy with this piece of junk app. If there were zero stars I would give it zero stars. Regrettably I have to give it 1 star. I hate it!

Newest update terrible. This app has drastically changed. There is more advertising than news. Terrible format

Report the news. Please report the real important news ! Good uplifting stories from the community Leave the Celebrity socialist BS to tmz to report !

Old app was better. Photo is way to big in list of stories.

Deleting. Very disappointed in KPLC. I have lost all respect for KPLC as a reputable news broadcasting company. The articles the company posts are worth less than the people and the stories they publicize. For example: 1)bees stung someone....that happens all the time....it's what bees do. 2)Obama makes a Facebook post....so what? My barber made a pretty good Facebook post and where were all the cameras then? Point being, "get new researchers" and stop alerting me with all this nonsensical political rhetoric and racially motivated jargon you call "news". We don't care if Sally had a birthday or whether or not billy bob should have been arrested for doing or not doing something. None of my business. Tell me about the stock market, or taxes, or a new machine that makes pudding from thin air, or the end of the world. That's news. I am deleting this garbage app and ensuring never to waste my time listening to, watching, or reading any of the mindless trash that KPLC emits. I hope I've made myself clear enough.

Update is NOT an upgrade. Clickbait EVERYwhere and no option for “local” news. Went from bad to worse.

Real news. Why don’t you guys ever cover news that matters like Hunter Bide being indicted.

A little disappointment. I do like the old app more. Where is my lotto numbers and movie listings. The weather leaves alot to be desired. No percentage of precipitation and can't zoom on radar. Radar is distorted also and I have an iPhone4. This image should be clearer. Your weather by the hour only gives us a span of 4 hours. Not sure how that works but I would like to see a larger span. Maybe a 12 hour span by skipping hours in between (1:30, 3:30, 5:30 and so on). Also I received a bulliten and was working. I clicked off of the bulliten to check it later and now I can't find it to read it. Hoping this is helpful. Please take these into consideration as I love channel 7 news.

Me Too. I gave the first app 5 stars. Somebody rushed this thru. I miss the weird news. The radar on my iPhone is distorted to the point, I have to use the old app. There is also the percentage of rain missing from the weather forecast. I can't zoom in on the radar either. Remember there are plenty news apps out there for the national news. We need more concern for southwest La. news. Please go back to the drawing board with this one.

Review. The App does not perform well out of the LC area. The news covered is usually 24 hours old. Anyone with internet access can be better informed than this App.

Too many advertisements!. Too many advertisements! Accidentally click on advertisements while using the app.

Not as good. Old app was much better and to much click bait mixed in with relevant news

Doesn’t open. Since the upgrade it will not Open

Not very informative or functional. Sends out alerts that have practically zero content, site doesn’t work too well

To many ads. I have had this app for few years and was a great source for local and national news. However every time I use the app now ads continuity pop up. It started with just a ad when app first opened, then after you click on every few ads now ads block articles and pop up in the middle of reading news articles. Way to many ads, for that I rarely use app much anymore.

New app is absolutely horrible. Freezes, ads everywhere as such you can’t see content. Just awful.. Absolutely horrible.

Disappointed. This app is useless.

Consumer. Too often no response

The new app.: it was always the best and now it’s not. I don’t like it at all.. Thank you

Awesomeness. You Guys are awesome 💙🙏🏽💯🔥

App works great quit complaining!. All the features work, and just takes some time to find were everything moved to to access it.

KPLC. Just great

Won’t open. Currently the App won’t open. Just did recent update. It post the headline but when I click on the app nothing.

Disappointed. Way to many ads. The app used to be pretty good but recent changes are almost causing me to delete the app. Don’t like it.

New format. Really don’t like the new format , very confusing

Not so great... While this app "looks" prettier, it is not as great as the original app. I LOVED the old weather app. On this one it's too small, and I'm unable to zoom in or change the view in any way. The news feature on the old app was much better also, and seemed to be updated more frequently. KPLC posts more news on their Facebook page than on this app! If they hadn't deleted the old app, I wouldn't have downloaded this one at all.

Mrs simmons. Not enough local stories. Your news is a repeat of national news. So sorry, I used to love channel 7 news

Nice Update, still need better sharing options. The updated UI looks much better, kudos. I especially like that swiping notifications links you directly to the article. Still wish there was an option to 'copy link to article' instead of the prepackaged "email, message, twitter, and Facebook" options. How am I supposed to share the article on groupme, reddit, or anywhere else on the internet without having to create an email, copying the link, closing the email, and then doing what I want with it? Dream feature would be granular control on what type of notifications I receive. Traffic in Lake Charles? Yes. Flooding in Mermentau? Doesn't affect me.

Just updated. Doesn’t Work!

Sports. Very poor coverage

New App. The new App is horrible. The older version was much better.

How do you share?. No way to share a story without driving people to the app…🤔🤔🤔🤔

Terrible. When and if the app opens, it’s a horrible layout. Very slow to open if it does at all and even the apps icon is hideous with rough edges and all.

Nothing but ads. All of the “sponsored” stories are nothing but clickbait advertisements. Way way way too many of them.

App works good but.... App works good but these people are very closed minded and not very bright.
