Not the best news. I was looking forward to using this app a lot for all my latest updates. For the most part it worked in a timely manner with semi new news, but the app continuously crashes not just on itself but caused my iPhone to completely blank out. I had to Master reset the whole thing. I logged into this app more than once with an error message "serious error occurred". The first time I thought maybe I just got a bad batch on the iPhone system, but the second time it happened and crashed my phone I was done with it. No other app(s) on my phone have ever displayed this type if message. Just beware of this crummy app!

IPad version not very functional for weather. First, you have a choice to not use your location with the app ever or allow KSHB to track your location at all times. Why no option for when the app is open? Second, weather radar is constantly in motion- no option to freeze it at current stage.

Ad placement lends to poor UX. The app itself works well. Loads quickly and accurately. However, the ads that are placed in the app are too big (almost as tall as the screen). It is inevitable that you will click an ad while scrolling. To me, this degrades the user experience immensely. The size of the ad seems malicious. Not cool in my book.

Up to Date. The weather is very good and the news is up to date. The alerts come through on important stories not all stories. Lay out is good as well.

Ugh!. Compared to the previous KSHB app, this is horrific. The setup is terrible, I miss the ease of going directly where *I* wanted to go and DISLIKE all the pop ups. Blech. I've still been using for the weather (I like the team), but hate to try to find anything of interest or even the "news". I even checked the "preferences" specifically for breaking news, traffic and weather, hoping that would help, and good grief! I don't really think stories like "Are you afraid of Friday the 13th" qualify as "Breaking News" but there you go. Would love to go back to the other format, but they've taken away the weather radar map. Will be looking elsewhere for my local info and weather until this hot mess gets cleaned up.

Great app. This app is excellent for browsing news or checking the weather. The only complaint I have is that there aren't any live radar maps, so I have to have a second app exclusively for that purpose. Add some live radar and this review becomes five stars.

Bye bye, KHSB. I have an older iPhone which is perfectly suitable for my needs will not upgrade to the current operating system required by this app. Since I will not be shelling out for a new phone it’s so long KHSB.

Good app but..... I used to love this app and I still use it daily but the weather video never seems to play right on my iPad Air. Generally when I click on the weather video, an ad will play but the weather never seems to play afterwards. This has happened about 10 times to me so I no longer will click on the video. I just read what it says below. Too bad because the weather video used to be my favorite segment.

Angela. It's an alright app. Good place to get the news on the go. The only thing that I don't care for is that the alerts are not often newsworthy, like what the temp is going to be today or that it might rain. I have KMBC and FOX 4s apps as well, and they are more respectful of my time with what they choose to alert me with.

Great viewing options. I love all the various live viewing options: news, COVID-19 updates. etc. keep up the great work!

Great news app. This is the only local news app for me. I used to be—years ago—a faithful user of a different news app. It was tinkered with until it was unrecognizable, with ads popping up at unexpected times. Not so the KSHB news app. It seems to me when I got it, years ago, I may have paid a small fee, but I would pay it ten times over. No ads popping out at me, I just click the easy-to-find story I want to look at, and I can read the story or watch it, or both. Naturally it includes national news, so I feel very up to date.

41 Treehouse Lane. 50 years of watching KSHB that started with 41 Treehouse Lane. Shave and a haircut- 10 cents! That was Mr. Ed’s version of two bits! Back then the days moved by slowly, like a daydream. Fast forward to today, flying cars and all, and I have a face full of apps on every device. This morning when I pulled up this app, as I do every morning, it asked me to leave a review. Like the drone I am, here goes...love the app, use it every day without fail. Gary Lezak is a jewel in KC’s crown and understands our odd weather better than anyone in the world and I’d bet money on it! The news feed is great, as is the writing within them. Thanks 41KSHB!

bad app - made in the 90’s. Constantly crashes, typos galore in the stories, can’t zoom in on photos, very infrequently updated with new stories. Questionable use when free. Definitely don’t pay for this.

41 Action news. I’ve tried other station; this one consistently gives me everything I need, and want, in my local news. Gary is the best in town, and in the cities I’ve visited far and away the most passionate.

Simply a good news channel for KC. There are some time lagging issues when under heavy use, but the video and sound come through efficiently and with quality. The news casters are all top notch experienced personalities who are very personal and yet professional. All of the metro KC area is fairly represented in news, weather, sports, and the humanities.

Divisive stories. Far left slant. Editorialized, biased news stories. Propaganda headlines that keep people divided. Garbage app.

Good for Breaking News and Weather. Living in the Midwest is completely nuts. Between the gun carrying nutbags and the tornados trying to carry you away, things can get unruly. I use this app throughout the day to stay up to date on headlines, weather and traffic. All the stations have these apps. I just happen to like the story selection on this one best.

App and web site. The app needs major improvement not user-friendly is supposed to be weather related but it leaves a lot to desire very laggy same goes for the website total I can’t hear anything doesn’t matter what device you’re on

Love it.. I love the KSHB 41 team. I watch them every night. They always get me through my days :)

No Videos. I use to watch the weather videos faithfully on this app. Now they won’t play. The ad plays just fine and then the news video hangs. I wait forever with no luck. Bye bye KSHB weather team!

Easy-to-use app. Easy to use and convenient. I can see the weather anytime. I can watch the video or read the article. Local and some national stories, too.

41 Breaking News. I only watch channel 41, I enjoy the breaking news, the reporters, and the sports coverage. Need to give sports a little more time on each of the broadcast.

Best weatherman ever!. Love the quick updates with my app especially Gary Lezak’s weat! Watched this station since it came on the air. At least since 1954!

Solid local news app. Probably the best app for Kansas City area news. Easy to navigate with a clean interface. Usually alerts me to breaking news stories before other apps. Good for watching local KC news when you're out-of-town.

41 News & weather. My Wife and I always rely on 41 news and weather everyday for correct up to the minute news and weather. We absolutely love Kevin and Ms Dea for our news, and Gary for our weather. The three of them makes us feel line we are listening to family, and always folks we totally trust. Thank you so much for all that you guys do!!!

Garbage All Around. Garbage stories, garbage forecasts, garbage reporting, garbage app performance; you getting the picture yet?

Great news - poor interface issues. Sends good headline updates and easy to read article on mobile device. However, once you open an article, tapping the back arrow or drag-n-drop down the article to return to the main screen rarely works. iOS 15 & 16 have the same issue. Has been a problem for months. Have to close the app to get to other articles.

NFM advertisements kill this APP. Your advertisements, especially from NFM (who seems to pay for most of the commercial spots), are very annoying and concerning. When something major happens in this city, and or a major weather threat is imminent, I don’t feel like a 30 second commercial, or even a 15 second commercial should be produced though a simple tap, or click to access the article or video ..... when instant access is needed to crucial information. Guys/Gals come on and get this part right!!!!

Wow!. The app is much improved!

41 action news. Love the app easy to use, following all the KC news and weather 😎

Am I missing something with this application?. I have this application for both my AppleTV fourth-generation, and my iPhone 6s. For some reason, I have no notifications coming in on the iPhone. Why is this? Is this broken? You might want to look at why this is happening. When I go to the AppleTV fourth-generation, I do not see a broadcast playing either when it is live. It just says the channel name.

Much better. I had the old app and it was not friendly, so I deleted it. I then saw it was updated and thought I would give it a try, I can see myself checking it regularly!!!

They don’t even try to be objective. We can think, you do not need to tell us how to interpret the news. What about showing both sides once in a while?

Cumbersome to see headlines - icon glitch. This version of the app makes it very cumbersome to scroll through a list of the headlines, so it takes a lot of scrolling to scroll past each article. Also, the app icon shows a sliver of white on the left edge and bottom edge on an iPhone 6S, and does not appear to be intended as part of the design.

Not so hot. This is not so good! When launching into stories they will often go grey and the page will freeze. I have to close the app and relaunch and it sometimes fixes and others don't. The content needs to be refreshed more often and there are times when a one or two week old story continues to appear in the current news section. Needs some work and more attention.

Poor. Very buggy for months. Any updates typically break the app. Currently no sound with latest update. Waste of time.

Doesn't work. The Kshb app is terrible, most of the features don't work and you have to register your email to even find out that it doesn't work. Don't bother trying their website either, it's just a big white page as well, only it has a bunch of broken links on it. 41 used to be one of the best news sites in kc, now it's just a frustrating waste of time.

Best news app in KC!. Love this app! User friendly and precise content with the best weather team in KC.

Best Weather Forcast. The KSHB Weather team are the most accurate meteorologists in the area. I like that I can check out what they have to say anytime. Plus they are fun to watch.

Much better!. This is an app that I open several times every day. I was so used to the ugly UI that I was used to it. Imagine my surprise when a new icon shows up today...and after opening it I realized just how bad it was before. The new look & feel is great. The UI is much easier on the eyes and the navigation is user friendly. There seems to be more content as well. Great update!

Lindsay Anderson’s sweater. Luv, watching Lindsay Anderson forecast the weather, especially today with her awesome Chiefs sweater. Hoping she will tell her fans where 2 purchase that sweater. Merry Christmas 2 all!!

Great app!. This app offers the most up to date and informative news updates. I only get notices of breaking news which is all I want and need! Great job KSHB!

Informative App. Always has the most up to date info. Easy to peruse news stories. Would definitely recommend.

Pretty Good App. This is my "go to" news station for weather! Love the weather blog. it would be nice if your push notifications opened up to more information related to the notification.

Much Improved. Don’t like woke journalism…thankfully…minimal here…great UI!

NFM ads are unbearable. The app works fine, but the Nebraska Furniture Ads between segments and clips are loud, obnoxious, and downright unbearable. At times, no fewer than 5 NFM commercials will blare on the screen in a row. Moderate the volume of the ads and get varied sponsors.

Not bad, but not great.. For the most part the new app is not really that bad. My main issue is you need to have sections for local and national news. Having all on one page is tedious. I believe most people probably use your app to check for local headlines and not the national news so your main focus should stay local. You also need the other sections that are available on your website. Right now the app is pretty limited. Aesthetically I like the look better than the old version.

THE REAL #1 IS KSHB 41. Super chic and super current at reporting.

Better user interface. Easier to use than the last version. Great way to keep up on news and weather.

Favorite News App. Best weather team in all of KC! Gary and his bunch keep things fun but to the point. Can always trust their forecast wit the LRC. App is clean and easy to use.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Ads. I liked the old format better. It was easier to read quickly. Also the new version seems too sensitive on ads. I'm always accidentally opening ads. The news itself is fine.

Want old version as a choice. Prefer to be able to scan written story with no video and move thru the topics like reading a newspaper . In Quiet. It was quicker to move down the stories headlines and not be locked into the entire newscast. You don't have a choice if you want this "upgrade" or not. Deleting this app

Can't live with out it!. I love the new app. Easy to use so far. Keep up the good work and keep improving.

Nice app. It's the best news app I found so far. I dumped the other local stations app and use this one exclusively now. Nice job.

Better!. Easier to navigate than previous version. I like the menu screen and the user interface.

Not bad. I had no issue with the old one. This seems fine. I did have trouble loading the weather the first few times using but it is fine now.

Much better.. The updated app is so much more reliable, accurate, and more professionally done than kctv5 or channel 9.

Great app. This is one of the best news apps I have on my phone. Updates and alerts are very helpful.

Love the app but one issue. This app is great. Gary and his team do a great job with the weather. My only issue is when you open the app with music playing it stops your music.

Lees summit resident. Nice upgrade to both look and feel as well as layout. Improvements to readability on iPhone was necessary and is much better Good jobs guys!

Nice upgrade !. Much better looking and easy to use

Improved. ...looks and functions much smoother than the previous version.

Awesome App!!!!. The weather is always right on target, and they stay on top of all the news and events!!! Keep up the great work guys!!!

Excellent Delivery of Local News. App smoothly delivers current news and weather. My "go to" app for Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri news.

Love It.... The new app stays up to date with current news and weather...it's so easy to read and get around on...no "guessing" where the link to a article is...great job!

Really good to terrible. Used to be my go to app for local news. Now the stories are too difficult to see. The big blocks and excessive ads are to much. I realize you need revenue but reduced hits equal reduced revenue too. The previous layout gave headlines at a glance. I will wait for the next update to use it again.

Love this app. I am new to it and just started clicking around. Definitely gonna be using this on a daily basis.

It's awesome.. Love having channel 41 at my fingertips on my phone all the time! Keeps me informed no matter where I am or how on the go I am.

Great improvements!. It is my new go to app for breaking news and weather. Love the improvements!

KC Best. 41 News app currently meets my needs best of available apps for KC MO news. Comprehensive and updated efficiently. Not paying to remove ads and they are no more obtrusive than other news sites.

Very nice. I really like the new app. I get on KSHB once a day at least and like the easy access to the weather blog and news!

Had become a nuisance. App forces a pop up video ad as you scroll thru stories. I will give it a couple months to remove that functionality. If it is not removed I will remove the app from my phone. I still have the other three local channels to look at.

Always up to date. I love the always up to date news and weather. Much better than old app

No longer of value. Used to be my go-to app for KC news but latest rendition is too laden with video and overrun with ads to be of any value. Slow to load. Ugly design. Very disappointing. Bring back the old version!! Interesting how every review pans the "new" app but no response or improvement in the design has been forthcoming.

Greatly improved.. Easier to navigate.

Much easier. App is much faster and easier to use. Layout is more user friendly great news app

Great App!. Much better than the older app....weather video is much easier to get to.

Great Job!. Much faster navigation. Like the tabs on the sidebar! Enjoy keeping up with you all on a daily basis!

Upgrade is awful. Upgrade hides live video broadcast link, then cuts out every commercial break and won't reconnect. News stories are just a screen full of images linked to videos, nothing you can scan quickly and figure out what is going on. Even weather didn't load properly! There is nothing useful here.

Needs feedback option. Good app. Needs settings on what type of alerts are received. I like the breaking news alerts but not the what's coming up alerts.

Candy. Love it! Keeps me informed on the latest going on. Like that I can just tap on what I want and get the full scoop.

Pop up video ads must go!!!. I enjoy reading the news from this site... silently. However, the very loud video ad, which quite unexpectedly pops up, is so startling, I am seriously considering deleting this app. Regular ads? I get it, since it's a free site. This, however, is a whole new level of annoying.

Informative and up to date. I can always depend on this app to give me up to date local news.

Better. Much improved, easier to read. Would be nice if there were a Sports tab.

Fantastic Upgrade. Great new layout. Flow of upgraded app is must easier to navigate through. Icing on the cake is the great app pairs with the greatest news team!

Fantastic. This is a wonderful tool for me to use on a daily basis to keep up with current events and conditions! Rock on 41 news team!!

Commercials on the APP. A 15 second commercial for a local business before the news video is way longer than 15 seconds. You would be way lucky to see The segment that you are trying to see. Very frustrating and aggravating.

It's only bad to maybe fair app.. I hate the weather page. Half the time when I'm trying to get just the seven-day forecast the screen will move all over the place or it will freeze. And I can't enlarge the screen of the seven-day forecast so for me it's hard to read

Outstanding!. Easy to navigate and a huge improvement over previous version!

Easy to use; helpful. This is the easiest, most convenient way to get the news.

Daily GoTo App!. Best fast daily rundown of local, national, and world news. I check weather and even area high school football results. It's how I stay in touch with what's going on.

News. I like this app, I watch live news every morning in the bathroom while I'm getting ready for work .

Love 41. I love Action News 41 on tv and now enjoy the free ap with all the same up-to-date, trustworthy news, weather and sports! Thank you 41!!

Good update.. When I get a news alert, now it takes me directly to the story. Good Kansas City news station.

Love it. I love being able to watch the news on my phone in the mornings!

Location Services. Need to add option to Use Location Services "While Using the App" in addition to "Always" and "Never"...

Love the app!. This app keeps me updated on everything going on here in Kansas City and around the world. Love the weather videos & blog.

Love it!!!. I go to this app multiple times a day and never experience any issues. This is my go to app for weather and breaking news.

Love me some 41 news!. It's all I use to keep up to date on news and reliable weather reports! I'm always telling my friends,"that's not what Gary says"

App update. The new app works so well with my iPhone, now my favorite news sources is right at my finger tips constantly! Thank you! Jacqueline sears
