Great weather info. Downloaded this app only for the weather info and radar. Definitely met my expectations and had good accuracy when calling for chances of rain. Also good to catch a breaking news story and keep up to date on what’s going on. The reason I only gave this app 3 stars is they started selling advertising to view their radar maps or forecasts. I will certainly not wait for an ad to finish when I want to look at the radar, thus I deleted the app. Plenty of more free radar and forecasting apps on the market that don’t make you watch a commercial.

Football coach speaking is Not late breaking news. Please allow further alert customization within “local breaking news”. Or better yet, please reconsider what you consider breaking news and worthy of an alert. The football coach is NOT breaking news. Please allow for those who wish to receive true news do so, create an option to eliminate sports from alerts.

Like having updates during the Coronavirus. I give this app five stars. Informative, critical updates during this time. Very assuring to me to have the information at anytime! Thank you.

Disappointing. So often I come to this app & there is nothing there, a big black hole. Sometimes I want to watch the news. It isn’t available or doesn’t start at 10:00. Sometimes news stories are not updated. I turn to the weather report & there’s no way to tell what time it was given. I’m hearing morning info when it’s past & gone. Very frustrating. So why do I check this app first when I want local info? Beats me!

Commercials. How many commercials does it take to watch a 30 sec video clip on the KETV app??? I spend more time waiting for the commercials to funnel through than its worth watching the actual news clip. Too bad because I like KETV omaha.

News updates. Great way to start the day! News updates keeping you informed.

Only one frustration. Like some other reviews I saw, my greatest frustration is receiving notifications of breaking news only to open the app and find nothing about the story in the notification. Not even a headline. Otherwise, I appreciate the coverage.

Disappointing. I like KETV to watch but not a fan of the app. Commercials come first (which I get-gotta pay to keep it free) but the sound comes in even when I have my phone on silent or vibrate. This is not okay! I have it on silent so it does not disturb. This is a huge problem so I will read the alert only and not open the content. When I do open it, the headlines make it tough to tell whether it’s local or national news.

Please fix. I like to get my news through an app, however, a major request.... I don’t want a video to play Instantly whenever I tap on a story! Ever in a quiet place you don’t want to play a video?! Up in the middle of the night and don’t want to wake a partner? Holding a a baby all day and trying to get important news updates without the app blasting a video? A quiet waiting room? I agree with other reviews when there are breaking news notifications it would be great to have a place in the app to take you to that story quickly. If it’s breaking I shouldn’t have to dig did it. Otherwise I appreciate the news source.

Husker fan. I love all the news team. They are not stuffy the have fun during the broadcasts and inform you when there is breaking news! Do not change anything or anyone. They all are the best.

Fast & Reliable News!. I get their news alerts before some of the major news outlets! And it’s always reliable news! I’m glad to know what’s going on in the Omaha/Nebraska area, as I have family there!

KETV App. It’s ok. I would hope in 2018 it would more intuitive. I don’t want or need sports updates. I do want local news and weather updates. I often get a notification of a new story, when my phone screen is locked. I go to app, and nothing is updated. It takes some time before that story is posted.

Channel 7 news app. I like the mechanics of your app but the administration is deplorable. I understand tithe need for advertisers but there must be a better way then pop-ups and long strings of them between paragraphs. Your on air broadcasts are award winning and ten steps ahead of others in the area. You need a full time administrator who can spend the time to update at least twice in 24 hours.. Theres articles out there that have been there for months. If a story has a video only leave it there with the story for a short time then move it to a separate queue. Along with day old stories. And please , if you send an alert on a “breaking news” wait for some of the story to unfold. As it is now formatted it’s wasting my time alarming me for nothing. That’s all. I am really a fan but these things have bothered me for some time.. All you’re reporters anchor people and broadcasts are the best. Thanks for asking. Margaret Beal

Want news, get KETV app. I have had great luck with the KETV app. There seems to be less annoying advertisements or ones that I can easily avoid on the news site. Reading stories is easy. The font size is perfect plus linking the videos has always been quick and easy. I enjoy the cleanliness of the whole website. Easy to navigate, easy to find what you want. Great site. I highly recommend it.

Opinion. Always precise and I like your format.I could do without the station manager’s opinion! I didn’t care for it before when the other manager did it, and I still don’t!

Far too many videos, not enough text. Weather is great, the rest is mostly crap ads and news that is not from Omaha. EVERY news outlet outside of Omaha has an app to read world news, putting it in your local news app and adding 2 million ads and commercials and slanting the stories makes your app great for weather, and little else. Cut the ads and forced video watching in half and you might have a more popular/used app.

KETV. This has been my favorite station for many years ! Everyone there is great at their job ! Even new people always seem to fit right in and do a good job ! Whether on TV or online, channel 7 is the best !

KETV. As a station I like you a lot. And up until now I watched your station exclusively. But once ABC banned the American Flag Pin or any show of patriotism, well I’m done with the station. On to other venues Sorry Bill and all the rest of you.

Ketv. We watch Ketv channel 7 news every night and evening. I really like all the news staff. I love Waverly. She is such a beautiful and positive person. Jonah , Rob , everyone is great at what they do. Thank you

News Stories are Cut Out by Ad Placement. While I like to read the local news, it is very annoying that ad placement cuts out parts of the stories. This is a consistent problem and it should be addressed. Ads are placed midway or toward the bottom and scrolling past them does not produce the missing prose.

KETV app. I like the KETV app. I appreciate the breaking news notifications and the fact I can watch the news from my phone. I really have no issues at all!!

Can’t get the full news report. On nearly every report I try to read, an ad blocks off some of the text. When in try to remove the ad and report the problem, the text is still missing from the report. I have tried to make the font both bigger and smaller and the same problem occurs. I delete and reload the app and no change. This is an iPhone 7 and my husband has an iPhone 8 and he does not have the problem.

It great. While traveling I like to keep in touch with what’s going on in Omaha. Unfortunately for our city, there is lots of reporting on who got shot or stabbed, and car wrecks, however most of the other stories are about other cities outside of Nebraska. I want good local news! Street repairs, flooding updates, West Nile virus info, good news etc.

The worst. Edited Dec 22: Foolish me, I decided to watch two UNL dorms come down on the KETV app. I sat through two commercials, Melissa Fry comes on, then they interrupt her mid sentence to run four more. When the fifth came on, I could see it was too late, though I tried to find another website to watch the implosion. Stupid me. I’m deleting this app for good. I’ve rated this app a 2 Star, now I’m downgrading it to just 1. I was just looking at the KETV page to email the webmaster, when a popup appeared asking me to rate this, which I am glad to do. This page is awful. The print is so small, it’s unreadable to me. I’ve tried to blow it up so I can read it, but it’s not capable of doing so. Sometimes I’d rather read a story rather than watching, but there is no way I can do so. I’ll get a notification that there is a news conference to watch, but nothing happens except for a few commercials. I understand I have to sit through them, but then the conference won’t some on, it says something about how there is nothing to watch. Channel 7 is my preferred channel to watch, but there is no way I can read the news via this app. I choose to read another channel’s web page, where I can blow up the text large enough to read. On the other hand, other reviewers are mentioning the typos, so it mIght be a good thing I can’t read it.

Don’t want to see old news. Two things I don’t like. News stories from outside my area which i can’t distinguish from stories about my area until I open them and start to read them, and stories that stay on for days. Old news is not good news.

Ok app. I don’t like that it freezes and jumps around the news cast. It will repeat the same few seconds multiple times then skip ahead a minute or two. They finally fixed the bug where my alarm goes off (getting ready in the am) and it would completely stop. 👍🏻Overall it’s my least favorite app and most difficult to watch the news in the morning. I keep watching bc I like the morning crew. But they need to make improvements

Review. The slideshows in certain stories that have them never work. Otherwise this is the only way I get any news because I won’t watch it in tv

Content can be old. I use this everyday . And of course it has adds . It's free . But the biggest issue I have is how long and old you leave content / old story's on the page . It is quite obvious that no one seems to be working on updating the whole site on a regular basis. Mostly Vuz videos. So for a lot of my daily news I have to go to other sites. I do realize it is a Tv Station and not a paper though...

Love the Appl also. Great application! It keeps me up to date instantly on the weather! Also, it keeps me informed of the news happenings both local and in the rest of the world. Thank you very much for this great service!

Great local news and weather!. KETV has the most accurate weather and updated news to stay informed for the Omaha area. One glitch though, in the articles the last words of the first paragraph disappear into the first ad. Hope they fix this issue.

Change. When i receive notifications I’d like to actually tap on it and be directed to that story. I haven’t turned notices off but I don’t go to the ketv app to find the story. Also, when I was asked to take this survey I was directed to something that looks as though I’m supposed to download the app...???? Very confusing.... ...I’m on my third attempt at a nickname....

Just ok. If you don’t open the notification when it pops up, you’ll never see what it was about in scrolling down or anywhere in the news feeds. Also weather info and radar take forever to load.

Wow.... I’ve had this app for quite a while. The advertisements work PERFECTLY. The rest of it...wow...freezes up constantly (except for the ads). I can’t make it through one newscast with out it freezing up or it will “studder” and repeat like it’s replaying the last 3 seconds. You always miss the top stories of the newscast because even though it says “watch now”, after you get done watching the ads, which stream perfectly by the way, the blue screen of death (KETV logo) just sits there..very frustrating. Please fix this app.

Class act. Channel 7 is the most professional, accurate station in Omaha. Thank you for rescuing the Burlington Station, five stars for that.! Omaha needs more improvements in that area . Your newscasters, weather forecasters, sports casters & all reporters are a class act!! And I love the outfits the women wear, very professional! And the guys always look fantastic and of course handsome! Keep up the good work!👍🏼

KETV Update. There are so many bugs in this app that to list them all is probably not productive. However; a couple of the more egregious problems should be addressed so that they (hopefully) will be fixed. Attaching the wrong video to the story, happens way too often. Sending notification of a breaking event and not being able to find the story immediately. Please proof read the writing, there are so many mistakes for a news organization. A continuation of my original review. This app does not work well with iOS 13. Stories end abruptly, i.e. a story will stop mid-sentence and there is no more. Haven’t read a complete story since updating my operating system. This is a news organization that evidently still doesn’t believe in proofreading their stories, I’ve never seen so many errors. It also appears that they don’t read the reviews or just don’t care because they’ve never fixed any of the problems. Problems when attempting to read a news story, i.e. story lines are truncated mid-sentence. This app continues to be the worst app I’ve ever used.

Prefer this Application except.... Enjoy reading the stories. Do not like the 15 second ads, that you cannot skip after 5 seconds, like one of the other stations have. It wouldn’t be so bad if the ad started immediately but it doesn’t. There is a long pause. Prefer another station’s app because of thid

Please remove old items.. Some items stay on your site for weeks and even months. Same old stories and pictures. It’s hardly news if it hasn’t changed in months. A lot is going on in the world that could be shared if you put the effort in it. BTW, really tired of looking at the mentally retarded young boy making an mean face and the bare chested coach in a pink ballet skirt. Really? What else is new? I sincerely hope this helps and someone gets to work. Thanks.

Weather. I love the weather updates. I’m in the western part of Kansas and with the bad storms rolling through the last couple of days made me feel safe . If I didn’t have this app I would have been driving in bad weather. The forecast is good today but windy for tomorrow and I don’t want to be driving in Kansas with wind gusts up to 30-40 mph straight side winds. Thank you for your service. Julia G.

Best local weather on my phone!. Thank you for keeping the weather report detailed enough to help me in inclement conditions! The radar is the easiest to see, and the most detailed, even for my rural area of any app I have found.

Review. Notifications about breaking news not immediately available to read. App locks up sometimes when moving around in the app. It would be nice to have a way to manually move thru the radar map. It moves slowly over a long period of time when all I want to see might be the last 15-20 minutes. Story font is very tiny and difficult to read. Even when I have notifications turned off, I still get multiple notifications about when rain will begin at my house.

Review. Please update more frequently. Old news stays featured too long. Often the tv broadcast refers to web site, but that information is never provided there. Example: Friday 3/18 early evening news featured a story about petitions to put marijuana on the ballot and said locations to sign would be on the mobile app later that evening. It never happened that we could find. This happens often.

Love the App!. Checking this APP is one of the first things I do in the morning. Seeing what the weather is doing, what happened overnight and what’s up with the traffic. Getting weather alerts keeps me up to date on when and where the storms are and how to prepare. The news teams are the best at bringing me what is going on in the City and the World. Great way to keep me in the loop throughout my day!

Disappointed in your news.. You lost me a day ago when your story was anti Trump about the boy dying at the Boarder, you are supposed to be unbiased and you weren’t. Very disappointed. Had watched you for almost all my 63 years. Also I want to see local news on here. I have multiple apps for news all over the world and the US. It’s confusing when your headline is about a murder or something and it’s not in Omaha.

Changes needed. It would be nice if when I clicked on a notification or alert that the app actually took me to that specific story instead of the home page. I end up spending more time trying to find the story in the app than anything else. I usually end up closing the app and then google the story because I have better luck that way. What’s the point of getting a notification or an alert if you can’t click it and see what you are being notified for?

OK When it works. My biggest irritation with this app as well as the local newspaper apps are ADVERTISING. I get notified of breaking news. Sometimes when I open the app to read the story I get a blank page. Other times you are immediately confronted with an ad. If that’s not bad enough, as you read through the story ads keep popping up sometimes causing you to lose your place since the article has now moved to another part of the page. Finally sometimes these ads are so distracting that I give up reading the article because of what I just said. Videos aren’t much better. They usually begin with a 30 second ad and if for some reason the video freezes and you have to restart, you guessed it, another 30 second add. I know none of what I said will change anything but you asked for a rating so I gave it. I would rather pay an annual fee and be done with the ads. I like the way the public radio stations do it. Maybe you ought to try some benchmarking.

Update more often. I often get a “Breaking news” message only to find the story isn’t yet available in the app. Please make sure stories are available before sending the news flash. Also, please update or change stories more often and work to have fewer typos.

Difficulty reading news stories and app freezing. Within the last few weeks, the app will not open a news story when I tap on it and the app will freeze. I keep checking to see if there is an update to fix this, but the recent update didn’t fix it. I’ve also noticed that when I receive a notification about a news story, I tap on it and it goes straight to the home page. The news story that came up as the notification is difficult to find and not directly available to view. I’m still able to successfully navigate the weather portion of the app, but that’s it. Please fix these issues!!

Annoying. App has a major bug that pops up frequently. While reading an article it will cut off mid sentence, there will be a big ad to scroll past, and then the sentence won’t be continued, instead a new paragraph will start. Other times article ends mid sentence. Big chunks of info missing. Seems like ads are being pasted over the article instead of within it.

The very last news app I read!. I’m sure you can do much better—the other news stations all do! Why do I keep getting flipped back to the beginning after I’ve read a story? Why do you keep old news stories intermingled with your current ones? What is your font size so much smaller than any other news app? Only the weather is good and an occasional unique human interest story that the other channels don’t have. Please find a new professional to upgrade your app!

Weather videos. I would rate higher but the videos freeze up and it takes three or 4 times to try to open them. The map has improved a lot and the hourly and 10-day forecasts are good. Don’t look at much of the other content

Annoying issue. Repeatedly, when I tap on a notification,I’m taken to a blank page. Nothing loads. No error message. Sometimes even the back carrot doesn’t work or is exceptionally slow to respond. I have an iPhone 8. So your app still needs work.

News stories. The same story runs over and over and over. Old news stays on for days. An alert comes across your phone, you go to Ch 7 app and you can’t find the story. Where did it go ? Ch 7 is my favorite news on TV and has been for 35 years. Update the app more during the day.

Poor choice. I have enjoyed using KETV Weather Now for a long time. It had everything I needed to know instantly. Now I am forced to use the news connection. Not nearly as user friendly and much harder to navigate.

Too much! 3 articles about one story??. Sometimes u guys show 3 or 4 articles of the same story! It’s monotonous and boring! Maybe 1 story and include everything that’s on the same story in one article!

2 star review.. Stories are old, weather forecasts are not updated frequently. Have to watch ads before getting to stories. Have never seen “breaking news”.

To many ads on live feeds. I get they need to make money but live feeds should never have ads!!!!!!!!!

5 ads per video. I watched a 6 second video had to watch 5 15 second videos first then the 6 second video went so fast then I had to watch 5 more to see it again they are hurting for money bad

Issues beyond issues and bad links. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten a notification about a breaking story, and regardless of if I click it, or go to the app itself, the story isn’t there. That’s in addition to the 75% of the time the entire app doesn’t work/freezes/locks up my phone. DELETED!

Notifications fail in iPhone (a 5 star on iPad). FYI regardless of the settings for the app, the notifications fail in iPhone iOS 14.6 Mine are set to ‘on’, but your app doesn’t recognize it and loops back to the iPhone settings from the app ‘Customized alerts’ page. Works 100% fine in iPad.

Please fix app. Like KETV was my dad’s favorite station so always watch 7 first. But app freezes from time to time and will not always open in low bandwidth areas

Timely and informative. It is very helpful to get alerts from KETV. In this troubled time, staying up on the news is essential. KETV gives balanced presentations, without prejudicial leanings. Keep up the good work.

Like No Other. My ONLY source for local news. I’ve been watching KETV for over 45 years and they keep getting better and better!

App freezes when opening stories. This was a great app, but over the last month or two the app would freeze when opening stories. It started intermittently, but now does it 100% of the time. So unless all you want to read are headlines, don’t use this app.

Thoughts. My only problem with this sight is that the ads interrupt the content to the point you can’t ready the entire article. It gets lost in the sea of advertisements.

Ineffective App. Doesn’t keep up with current news. The same stories stay on the app’s news feed for days and days. Weather is never accurate. The WOWT app is so much better. No ones cares about these reviews as none of the suggestions ever change. Do you even look at these comments? Come on KETV, you can do so much better.

It could be better:. It’s hard to see the entire news article. The sentences are cut off.

App is fine but short. Just wish one could get more local news. It seems like there just isn’t enough. Great weather reports though!

Unstable and useless. While I appreciate that they are trying to make stories available, it would be nice if they actually show the story when you select it. Every time goes to a blank screen. Aside from that, only a little local news with a healthy layer of clickbait to make it seem like there is more content.

Amazing App!!!. The app works amazing and it helps when I go to work also helps me to know if my kids need to wear a raincoat

Needs Improvement. The app constantly shuts down without notice and refuses to start up again. The sound is often times off track and an echo can be heard. There are several adds, yesterday I had to watch 11 of 11 adds before getting to stream the live news.

Accurate weather. Bill Randby is the most accurate weather caster in Omaha

My #1 Source for local news. I love this app! KETV Is my number one source for local news and weather. I get most of my news online. This app and station can’t be beat!

News. I wish we could just see the news and not all the ad’s. For just once leave the ads off the app because you make plenty of money on the tv ads. Also Sean is much better than Matt on weather. Matt talks to much about what he likes.

News page. If your news feeds were updated more often I’d rate this station higher but you keep the old stuff to long.

Updates. Needs work on updating in all areas. I could not even find anything on Boys State basketball under High School sports!!! You don’t cover stories that are not in your political view either.

One Stop To Get Current News. In a busy day, this is where I go to get my regional updates. Thanks for all your hard work!

From 5 to 1 star in a single leap. I love KETV. Living in Lincoln , it is nice to watch Omaha news. Especially on the weekends in the morning since there is no morning news here.

KETV Is the best. When you want “right now” news they bring it. The most precise weather broadcast and breaking news. Their app is a must have on my phone. Thanks to all at KETV you rock!!

Updates & proofreading. Stories in the morning say to watch for updates but they are not updated. Just today an accident report concluded with “no what on what caused the crash”. This evening on the 5:00 news, it was reported that the driver of the Nissan had to be excavated. Try extricated! No matter what nickname is entered it says it’s already taken

KETV News. Love getting the breaking news right away. They do a nice job of giving us alerts and explaining the reasons.

Very Disapppointed. Keep trying to watch channel 7 but don't even get a full story before it goes back to ads or kicked out of the app. I used to watch KETV all of the time but now need to find another way to get the news. Especially now.

Short. Very short to the point and timely. I like the Nees updates. However, when I get notices of repeat nes updates, it is very irritating. Enough to quit checking the messages.

Too many adds!!!. You can’t get to what you’re looking for because you have to sit through loud advertisements that you can’t mute or turn off. I just want to read the articles but the obnoxious video adds come blaring on! Super frustrating.

Terrible editing on app lately. Lately stories are missing info such as an article stating accident victim identified and then the article made no mention of the victim’s name. Articles often have paragraphs end with incomplete sentences sometimes several times in one article. Very poor writing. Need new editors.

Just Fix It!. I am frequently asked to review this app. Not sure why. Nothing changes. It constantly freezes, stories in alerts are seldom available. It is overall very frustrating to navigate. You might take a look at the WVEC app. It was just revamped. Fire your webmaster and hire there’s. There are other choices for Omaha news. This is low on my list.

Stories that end in space. Through many updates, you still haven’t fixed the issue of stories ending or being Interrupted mid-sentence above advertisements. Who knows how much information is lost. Same problem many in my family report. What do you pay your IT people for?

News could be better. Plus—-lots of types of news Minus—-not much up to date news, and to many news videos that play. When I’m in an area that one should be quiet, not knowing if news story audio and video will just start playing or if it’s reading only is quite frustrating.

Immediate Ads upon opening. This app is generally useful, but when opening, it has the annoying feature of launching into a video advertisement, that needs to be silenced, otherwise it intrudes on others nearby. As a result, I rarely use it.

Reading stories. It’s hard to read news stories on their app because they always cut off around an advertisement. Sentences aren’t complete so I don’t get the full content.

Stories don’t always load. Pressing headline then content does not display, only outlines of content. If you get an alert on your phone, it doesn’t show in the app.

Way to many commercials. I can put up with a few of the commercials but the gambling after gambling after gambling has got to go. This is possibly the worst crap you can advertise, get rid of it!

Most recent update needs work. The most recent update for iPhone has a lot of bugs and freezes a lot! Specifically, when clicking on any link or item within the app. Pages are also slow to load.

Too many ads.. Too many ads and every time you click on a story, the video starts whether you want to watch or not. I’m fine with reading the story so it’s not necessary to play a video that in many cases, is just the audio version of the written story.

The only way to get weather forecasts. The KETV app has better weather reports and more accurate weather forecasts than I can get anywhere else. It is a life-changer!

Weather. I can never see the weather anymore. I click on the alerts and initial the screen shows them and then almost immediately goes blank, can’t do the interactive radar at all. Used to be a good resource, but not anymore.

Review. My go to app for information. Highly recommend it.

Mrs. Married. Love the weather & the news updates. Just overall love it!

Partial news. The news items sometimes quit without finishing the article. It may end in the middle of a sentence. There’s lots of advertisements that break up the articles. Choppy and uneven. Little local news and just as much non local news.

Need an editor?. Too many times, when I’m trying to read any story, I cannot understand what is written. This is due to incomplete sentences or paragraphs. Not to get the whole story is like getting half of the news.

Too many ads. In the middle of a story an ad will pop up and block the story. Can’t read the whole text. Very annoying.
