The free KMBC 9 News app has been updated and completely redesigned to bring you instant breaking news and First Alert weather updates from the staff at KMBC-TV. Whether you re in downtown Kansas City, ...
Not as user friendly Way too much scrolling The choices used to be all in one spot Hard to use
I use a Mac mini and do not like that the app doesnt rotate Not easy to read Not so great
The last update has a bad user interface If I could rollback the update I would do it in a heartbeat The page layout is a bust Last update terrible
Terrible update Old version was much simpler and easy to navigate Horrible update
I waited a couple weeks to review this As with anything new I wanted to give it a chance and get used to it Well it never grew on me As someone else stated its too cumbersome The interface is to messymuch better when you cold simply pick your headline or section Information overload
Bring back the old phone app I started my day with KMBC now Im forced to elsewhere The new app is confusing so it was deleted from my phone New app stinks
The new update is horrible Not user friendly Just a scrambled mess Go back to the old format Horrible update
Got to watch video to receive the news and advertising My mind is flooded with advertising all day long Cant I just catch up on the days news in bed on my pad before retiring without someone wanting me to buybuybuy I deleted the whole app from channel 9 Bye Too many ads
Very nice clean and easy to move around Like a lot
I hate the new app That is all I miss the old app
The latest updates to the app have made it hard to read limited the amount of content and vastly increased the aggressiveness of advertisement I would say it is now the most frustrating app I have owned Downgraded App
The previously best KC news app is now cluttered and unnavigable I will use competing stations apps Will no longer use
I think it is cumbersome I really dont like having to scroll through everything to find the articles that I want to read and I dont like all the videos Dont like the new app
I dont like the new version seems like it is riddled with ads Old Version is better
I HATE the update and not because I dont like change This new version is difficult to navigate I cant get complete stories to show up half of it gets cut off and the new weather section is irritating Please update the update Terrible
I like this one far less than its predecessor It doesnt accommodate landscape and the stories are much more difficult to find Bring back the old one KMBC Review
Love it dont change a thing New app
I spend a lot of time driving a truck to and from west coast I use Channel 9 to keep up with home news weather sports and business news Go back to the old app Easier to use Top stories weather sports Business news follow up on previous stories Driver OTR
The new update will be causing me to delete the app On the iPad it forces you to portrait mode and makes you scroll scroll scroll If you click on a video it the forces you to landscape mode You will be constantly rotating your iPad if you use this app I love KMBC news but hate the app Terrible update
Do not care for new app at all Find it difficult to navigate and no landscape orientation does not work well on iPads New KMBC App
Worst update to an app ever Hate it Change it back or its gonna be gone from my phone forever Awful app
Just list the stories ONCE and then let us choose which ones to read Difficult to follow
PLEASE go back to the old app This one is impossible to navigate It used to be easy to read all of the stories and go to each section news weather sports etc but now I cant find anything Its horrible Your news app used to be my favorite Do NOT like the new app
The new format is terrible More bells and whistles but less relevant content Difficult to switch between news stories Overrun with videos I miss the old format Awful update
Works half the time When it works its great Gets frozen and then have to close completely out and sometimes it will let you back in sometimes Has its moments
New update format can be described in one word scroll scroll scroll and more scrolling Terrible layout design and is not easy to use or read quick again youll sped more time scrolling than reading the news News at your fingertips this new layout is NOT REALLY BAD design good news reporting but design layout is HORRIBLE New updated format
Went from real good to yuck The updated format is not expectable Nope I dont like the updated format
I believe this is an awful update and totally removes the nice functionality that you had before For a city the size with so many technological resources you should have been able to do much much better with a update Ask for your money back A simple solution to this is to offer the old Apple as an option Embarrassment
I hate this upgrade The previous app was so much easier to navigate and find stories I was to read If this is what the app had been like when I first downloaded it I would have deleted it I want to go back to the previous version Hate the Upgrade
If you want to be horrified 24 hours a day about local shootings rapes riots anything terrible you can imagine then this is the app for you Dont look for any good news As a lifelong Kansas Citian I just dont know how I made it 45 years without KMBC letting me know what a massive death spiral we are in Thanks If it bleeds it leads
I like the old version better I gave it some time thinking I would grow to like it but its not happening I love channel 9 news on TV and always went straight to your app first but find myself going to other news apps because I dont like how big the stories are or how its arranged Much better before Sorry App changes
The new App is extremely clutter instead of being clear and crisp the design is really busy almost like some code this App in a hurry Im definitely not a fan of the new format Clutter Mess
I wish things that are already good were just left alone This is now a jumbled mess of scrolling I open the app and immediately dislike it I have the KC Star app Guess Ill be looking at that more now Dont like it
If I wanted to watch videos of news clips I would turn on the TV I wont watch because of the ads its plain stupid If there was a negative star review this app would get it Awful
The new layout is terrible and not user friendly I have used the KMBC app for years for local news and weather but will now be finding a different news app Not user friendly
Why fix something thats not broken Hate the new format Dont like new format
You need to add a back to top button I find that you have to scroll a long way through the stories and ads you cant get back to the top quickly I find that I loose the story I might want to read after I get the important stories read Is there a way to flag or bookmark them I liked my news stories categorized by local and national I know you can go to the menu and get to news open news and find national there but local button missing I also tend to scroll through your app when others are around and cant watch video stories I like having the option to read the story I cant think of anything I really like about the new format but I am open to continuing to try it Tweets
The weather radar is incredible Great way to find the forecast Great weather features
The new KMBC app is difficult to maneuver and there is too much scrolling to get to the news stories Despise new app
Handy enjoying it Handy app
Always keeps me informed of breaking news Easy to navigate to find stories Great App
Complicated now Liked old version better Used to read every morning Have used app twice since update and went to different news app Very disappointing Not broke dont fix
I prefer the old version I could tap and go to what I wanted to see This version Im scrolling more than reading the news I dont like holding my IPad vertically and the horizontal option no longer works I find myself not using the app I want horizontal option back
Always informative with knowledgable staff Great news source
Easy to use Love the weather options Keeps me up to date on what is going on while traveling Informative
Just stop I hate the new app Where even did the weird new section go Im a weird person I need weird things The new app is stupid Stop
Looks are nice but it most difficult to find simple information Such as the score to the Royals games Not a big fan of the changes Nada fan
There is now no easy way to separate the print articles from slide show or videos they are are mixed together and the videos outnumber the print articles I prefer to read my news not listen to someone else read it to me I may have to resubscribe to the Star and delete the KMBC app altogether a huge disappointment Hate new format
I like the App Particularly the news weather updates and notifications Great App
Dont like the new format Do not like
