by lllllIlIlllIlll on 2021/03/04 14:44
I am deleting this app because it always turns on notifications for certain pieces of news such as traffic alerts even when I turn it off. It’s been too much of a hassle and it makes me receive over 50 notifications as I sleep

For some reason we always get left out of the news for Weather reports COVID-19 tier reports on the news that’s very disappointing this evening at my house in Kelseyville I have 2 1/2 inches of snow and it’s still coming down. Only reports are for the Bay Area why.
Freeze everytime
by Yunchee on 2021/01/26 04:55
I have to refresh or turn off the app pretty often. It’s so annoying. I feel like I spend more time to do this than watching actual news.
No option to opt OUT of videos. And freezes!
by holdtheaudio! on 2021/01/22 04:50
This is the most difficult news app I’ve ever used. Not only does it CONSTANTLY freeze in middle of articles where I have to shut down app and try again, I REALLY feel I should be able to simply read an article WITHOUT being subject to the accompanying video. The video says “tap to watch”, but that’s not true. Videos start automatically each and every time I start reading. THUS, my family is awoken and I have to quickly punch my phone volume to mute it. Not ok to project noise without my consent. But that’s what this app does. So frustrating with KRON4. I emailed your news station with plea for assistance on how to opt out of auto video, but never heard back. Is it only me that has this issue?
Commercials drive me crazy!
by DeTijuana on 2021/01/18 06:56
It is impossible to turn off the sound when commercials pop up. I had to switch to another news app because of this. Very annoying.

Awful app
by Marandbo on 2020/12/25 16:58
I love local news but will stick with the KTVU app. KRON app is very frustrating. You cant just read an article without having to stop the video attached. Many times you cant skip the ad or even stop the video. almost as if it freezes on you. Have been patient but will now delete the app until they fix it.
Too many alerts
by Vasanip on 2020/12/17 16:53
Too many alerts even after selecting just alerts of one type
Traffic updates

Would like specific freeway , or corridor updates as an option.
We love the KRON 4 News morning team’s coverage
by John & Heidi on 2020/12/07 14:16
We wake up each weekday to Daria, James, John, Robin, Will, and all the other reporters out in the field. We also line to watch weekends with Marty & Dave. We love the local coverage and counted on you for our news when we had the wildfires these past several years.

by deb6401 on 2020/10/08 21:05
As bad as the news can be at times; Darlya and James still make me laugh in the mornings. Darlya has a great personality. James and her work great together.And they are appropriately sympathetic. I wish she would go back to going to car washes and such. That was funny!! What happened to people behaving badly that was great too. Thanks
Good – plus a suggestion
by Janetfitz on 2020/10/07 19:19
Would be great if you could cover the towns and counties that have and continue to fight the 5G microwave radiation street antennas being forced upon us by the FCC and Telecom.
Interview Dr. Joel Moskowitz at UC Berkeley (Public Health) for starters. And Dr. Paul Heroux (McGill U.) At what point do you side with your viewers versus your advertisers, is the question I hope you ask. Please don’t sell us out by ignoring this most important ongoing development! .

Freezes Often
by KaseySue3168 on 2020/10/01 14:14
I like the app and content. However, it freezes quite often and I have to close the app and reopen to finish an article. Super frustrating when you are just trying to get a quick update.
It mediocre
by FishFracker on 2020/09/29 14:22
I check the news on my phone app everyday. To be honest the stories l seem to be very repetitive and a tad on the boring side. I prefer reading over watching the videos so I’m happy to have that option to say the least
Too many crashes

Don’t like that the videos start by opening a story. Just another way to get the ads viewed..

They tout their interactive fire map but it only shows a tiny dot to represent a fire NOT the area the fire covers.
Terrible performance
by ral222 on 2020/08/20 21:58
I have had this app for several years and multiple updates. I like the content and don’t mind the ads but on my phone the app hangs almost every time I use it. Also the scrolling is very ragged unlike any other app I have used. Needs some work.

Volume control
by Liibits on 2020/08/19 15:40
I like to read or watch about our local news, but exactly as another reviewer complained about is the lack of volume control to mute the ad that plays whenever there is a video attached to the article. There is no volume control until the actual news clip starts and makes me not want use this app because of it.
Can’t Silence the Ads
by CRX Driver on 2020/08/16 20:14
This is as annoying as it gets. You open an article and there’s an advertising video at the top that’s set with the sound on and you can’t silence it or stop the ad. In addition to the pure annoyance it can be embarrassing depending on where you’re at when it happens. I understand the need for advertising revenue but not when it completely ruins the user experience. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!
Buggy af
by Amithatguy on 2020/08/15 23:58
The app freezes CONSTANTLY. You’re reading an article and all of a sudden it won’t scroll anymore. It’s random but extremely common.
On top of it
by SFLther on 2020/08/14 16:03
Frequently I try to see current events on local news apps and I find that channel 4 is the fastest to cover things that are happening at the moment.
I would recommend kron
by Bella Keenan on 2020/08/14 07:35
Kron 4 is a very good app and it’s where I get my local news coverage. The only problem that I have with the app is that sometimes when I read the news it plays the video coverage in the background without me hitting play and I don’t like that. Otherwise, it does it’s job well.
Glitchy and Freezes From Time to Time
by Bryan3232 on 2020/08/09 17:02
I’ve noticed the Kron 4 app can be kind of glitchy and will freeze up on me from time to time.

Ridiculous you have them playing loud when we just want to read the news. It is annoying! Turn off the sound of your commercials!! Please!!
App freezes constantly
by Reiddude1 on 2020/07/31 06:05
Seems to be a recent issue but the app just freezes when reading an article. Only fix is to swipe up and close and reopen.
Very buggy but OK for being free
by Randy_perrone on 2020/07/30 22:58
The app bogs down until it freezes half the time that I use it. It’s also super annoying that when scrolling down it will reset the timeline and send me back to the top. I then have to scroll all the way back down to where I was. Happens quite a bit.
I do like that it’s free and keeps me up to date on the run, so 3 stars for that!
Constantly freezes
by HWeird on 2020/07/30 03:49
I love your news station and the app is good if it would stop freezing. I would give you five stars if it stops on the next update. I always have to restart it and sometimes more than once
Crashes

by jtay1092 on 2020/07/11 22:11
There are to many ads in the video portion. I mostly just want to read the news articles. The ads just start running and sometimes won’t stop. It interferes with trying to read the articles.
UPDATE; App doesn’t load - white screen

by Bts2173662773 on 2020/04/22 18:29
Repeating the same ad over and over. Try to link to a story and again. Bombed by an ad. This is not a news source. It’s home shopping network disguised as news. The overly left slanted stories are more like CNN. I want facts with my news not social commentary that is one sided. Not that FOX is any better. Just the same in the other direction. Not happy with the app at all.
Nice app, relevant stories

... not a lot of bull. Thank you - it’s kept me up on the latest local Covid developments.
I Don’t Like The Tiled Headlines
by zax@esef49ers on 2020/04/12 23:10
Microsoft tried the tiled headlines approach and failed miserably.
It didn’t make a very good impression. That eventually was trashed. Hence, an immediate turn to Windows 10. Which is still bad but better than the tiled Windows.
Great COVID coverage
by Ccdsakamoto on 2020/04/12 04:56
I appreciate that this app is free during the COVID crisis. I get alerts that have been incredibly useful. I like it a lot, but I won’t continue once they start charging for it again.

Turn off the volume!
by Makerick24 on 2020/04/03 15:14
I just want to read the article & not hear whatever video or ad you want to play. My mute button is on & the only way to eliminate the sound is to turn the volume all the way down! It’s very disruptive & am ready to remove this app.
Needs more customizable notifications
by keeph0pe on 2020/03/31 03:32
Way too many notifications, especially now with the COVID-19 coverage. I’m getting an alert every time a new death or increase in cases (both of which are to be expected) is reported in the state. This is a serious situation, but we can’t be bombarded with it 24/7 at such a degree. I’d like to still receive notifications, but there’s no way for me to differentiate alerts from breaking news such as new restrictions or laws, from updates every 20 minutes on the count of cases.
Awesome

by Arlene2 on 2019/11/06 17:29
I so appreciate getting local news and at a very reasonable subscription price. However I find it difficult to negotiate my way around the app. I’ll get a news flag on my front screen and it does not open to that article directly & it is not necessarily intuitive where to look for it. Also, I’m not sure if it’s the app or my phone but the videos time out so I don’t use them. Regardless, thank you KronOn!
Sound?
by JLisaJ on 2019/11/04 15:48
Good coverage, but accompanying sound for videos seems hit or miss. This isn’t a problem with my ABC 7 app or other news apps, so not sure what’s going gonna with the KRON app.
Mahalo!
by shellsurf on 2019/10/31 13:17
KRON does a great job of broadcasting the latest Fire & evacuation info during wildfires. This BayA Native is able to monitor & share info with loved ones on social media from my iPad on Maui. Friends in NorCal can download app & watch when the power is out if they have cell coverage or wi-fi. Great community service! Highly recommended and appreciated.
Try Harder
by Accountable237 on 2019/10/30 03:10
To put it simply this station sends alerts for breaking news that has already transpired. They also provide links to live coverage that are absolutely not live. It’s recorded and replayed throughout the day. This is deceptive and should be criminal. Just another business disguised and a public service.

Terribly unstable
by SF Muffintops on 2019/10/21 04:42
KRON4 News is great to watch on TV and I was looking forward to being able to catch stories from my phone. Since installing this recently, however, I can barely read a single story before the app crashes. Some articles won’t open at all - app just crashes. Pretty disappointing and useless.
**** 5 stars

Notifications mysteriously keep reenabling
by Shawn c on 2019/10/15 02:58
The app is good for the most part, but once a week or so I notice that more and more non-important alerts keep popping up in my notifications. I go into the app, and, sure enough, alerts like “Trending Now” are reenabled automatically. I shut them all off except for “News Alerts” and the process repeats itself later. It’s getting very annoying.
I’m still keeping an eye out for a better local news app that doesn’t spam me with superfluous notifications in attempts to harvest more clicks.

Why bother
by Stooz on 2019/10/02 04:57
It’s basically a web experience with some junk wrapped around it. Not well designed. Video clips fail all the time. You are a SF Bay Area news station - would be great if you could tap into all the talent here and get a real app built that works.

Stories Not Available TOO QUICKLY
by Herbonly on 2019/09/24 17:18
Too often, in fact, most often when I open an alert on my cell about a news story posted that same day has already been removed. Very frustrating. It’s so frequent, I’ve learned to not even bother trying to access the story older than a day using the KRON app and look for the story elsewhere. It’s getting so bad I’m even thinking of even deleting the app.
Infomercials

Kron 4 has been my go to for news for years. The repetitive infomercials made we switch to channel 2
App needs work
by cake_mix on 2019/09/12 18:40
Really wish there were more customization options for notifications by topic or regions of the Bay Area. I get so many KRON4 notifications that aren’t relevant to what I need to know or care about. The app is also glitchy sometimes, such as the videos don’t play right, even if I’m connected to good WiFi.

This is the best news in sf but now that we have to pay to see the news on the app it’s not so good. It should be free to the audience to community, they community has the right to know.

Cancelling Option for Dan Mateo
by Morenowg on 2019/07/13 00:16
I do not understand why KRON is cancelling their alliance with the service provider that connects lower income people to KRON.
Many can not afford the high prices of cable/Comcast/ Direct/etc. So they have to subscribe to lower tier services.
Now KRON is cutting ties so these people will not be getting this news info. Why??

by DianaPepe on 2019/07/02 13:28
It’s like an 80’s application, I’ve downloaded the app in my fire stick to watch the news but it gets stuck every 5 minutes and right now I have 30 minutes in silence watching the Traffic, is like a horror movie and I’ll be on it in 30 minutes when I start driving to work!
Traffic cams
by vaccccuuum on 2019/06/14 20:29
I like the app but like on the traffic cameras like bay bridge toll plaza and stuff like that how come they are still images why aren’t they like a live video like how they are when. They show them on the news on tv ? Can you please update that? Now why should I have to subscribe just to live stream the news that’s just ridiculous!! Now I give you two stars!
Drops connection constantly
by r sq on 2019/06/11 15:45
This app constantly stops while watching live news and also closes suddenly. Disappointing when I’m trying to watch the local news
Charging Fees..

I have been a fan of Kron for years, especially when traveling on the road. Now that you guys charge a fee for live feed, thumbs down!!
Visuals don’t line up with sound
by missionminisf on 2019/06/10 03:49
Yet another day when none of what is on the screen is what is being presented verbally. And not just for a a few minutes- this lasts for beyond a reasonable amount. How can you be so slow to respond to a problem and have it happen over and over again. Really bad!
Decent app. Couple of fixes needed
by JoycieAnne on 2019/05/30 15:56
When PUSH notifications are sent ... MANY times the article isn’t even on the app/website yet. Don’t send notifications out, unless the story is available. It’s lame to click on it and then ... nothing.
App is crashing — LOTS lately — on iOS.

I Love KRON4
by Arlene2 on 2019/11/06 17:29
I so appreciate getting local news and at a very reasonable subscription price. However I find it difficult to negotiate my way around the app. I’ll get a news flag on my front screen and it does not open to that article directly & it is not necessarily intuitive where to look for it. Also, I’m not sure if it’s the app or my phone but the videos time out so I don’t use them. Regardless, thank you KronOn!
No option to opt OUT of videos. And freezes!
by holdtheaudio! on 2021/01/22 04:50
This is the most difficult news app I’ve ever used. Not only does it CONSTANTLY freeze in middle of articles where I have to shut down app and try again, I REALLY feel I should be able to simply read an article WITHOUT being subject to the accompanying video. The video says “tap to watch”, but that’s not true. Videos start automatically each and every time I start reading. THUS, my family is awoken and I have to quickly punch my phone volume to mute it. Not ok to project noise without my consent. But that’s what this app does. So frustrating with KRON4. I emailed your news station with plea for assistance on how to opt out of auto video, but never heard back. Is it only me that has this issue?
KRON 4 News App
by bsmittie on 2018/10/13 05:26
Overall a clean interface where I can get my daily “news fix at-a-glance.” Ads are not hovering all over the pages, unless you link deeper to other stories. It is frustrating when the news headlines main page dynamically refreshes itself. It hurts my eyeballs, as the headline I was just reading moved to another location on the page, and continues to move unless I click on it to read. Again, this KRON 4 app is good for a quick overview of the day’s headlines.
Notifications mysteriously keep reenabling
by Shawn c on 2019/10/15 02:58
The app is good for the most part, but once a week or so I notice that more and more non-important alerts keep popping up in my notifications. I go into the app, and, sure enough, alerts like “Trending Now” are reenabled automatically. I shut them all off except for “News Alerts” and the process repeats itself later. It’s getting very annoying.
I’m still keeping an eye out for a better local news app that doesn’t spam me with superfluous notifications in attempts to harvest more clicks.
Absolutely the BEST News Program in the Bay Area!
by Ross from Hilo, Hawaii on 2018/10/26 22:34
While visiting friends in Glen Ellen, I enjoyed watching your news program...it reminded me sooo much of our news station back in Hawaii....Because of that, and the fact that I had a great time in Northern California, I decided to add the
app for KRON4 NEWS to both, my IPhone and IPad....that way I’ll always be connected in someway to the Bay Area and to my friends in Glen Ellen.
Needs more customizable notifications
by keeph0pe on 2020/03/31 03:32
Way too many notifications, especially now with the COVID-19 coverage. I’m getting an alert every time a new death or increase in cases (both of which are to be expected) is reported in the state. This is a serious situation, but we can’t be bombarded with it 24/7 at such a degree. I’d like to still receive notifications, but there’s no way for me to differentiate alerts from breaking news such as new restrictions or laws, from updates every 20 minutes on the count of cases.
Application is a perpetual glitch
by DianaPepe on 2019/07/02 13:28
It’s like an 80’s application, I’ve downloaded the app in my fire stick to watch the news but it gets stuck every 5 minutes and right now I have 30 minutes in silence watching the Traffic, is like a horror movie and I’ll be on it in 30 minutes when I start driving to work!
Informed and Prepared
by shaonly on 2018/12/09 04:06
Thank you for all the local and national news events. Everything from traffic to weather is greatly appreciated by my family as well as my self. I am from Berkeley California and I now live in Richmond California. I am able to prepare our day based on the information you provide us with. Thank you..Thank you...Thank you

Mahalo!
by shellsurf on 2019/10/31 13:17
KRON does a great job of broadcasting the latest Fire & evacuation info during wildfires. This BayA Native is able to monitor & share info with loved ones on social media from my iPad on Maui. Friends in NorCal can download app & watch when the power is out if they have cell coverage or wi-fi. Great community service! Highly recommended and appreciated.
Good – plus a suggestion
by Janetfitz on 2020/10/07 19:19
Would be great if you could cover the towns and counties that have and continue to fight the 5G microwave radiation street antennas being forced upon us by the FCC and Telecom.
Interview Dr. Joel Moskowitz at UC Berkeley (Public Health) for starters. And Dr. Paul Heroux (McGill U.) At what point do you side with your viewers versus your advertisers, is the question I hope you ask. Please don’t sell us out by ignoring this most important ongoing development! .
We love the KRON 4 News morning team’s coverage
by John & Heidi on 2020/12/07 14:16
We wake up each weekday to Daria, James, John, Robin, Will, and all the other reporters out in the field. We also line to watch weekends with Marty & Dave. We love the local coverage and counted on you for our news when we had the wildfires these past several years.

Very buggy but OK for being free
by Randy_perrone on 2020/07/30 22:58
The app bogs down until it freezes half the time that I use it. It’s also super annoying that when scrolling down it will reset the timeline and send me back to the top. I then have to scroll all the way back down to where I was. Happens quite a bit.
I do like that it’s free and keeps me up to date on the run, so 3 stars for that!
Great local news
by GreeneyedLady59 on 2018/05/09 02:36
I love KRON4 news. I watch it everyday and I’m so glad we can watch it on our devices. It gives me important updates on what’s going on locally and not local. When I can’t get to a tv I get it on my device. Thank you!!
I would recommend kron
by Bella Keenan on 2020/08/14 07:35
Kron 4 is a very good app and it’s where I get my local news coverage. The only problem that I have with the app is that sometimes when I read the news it plays the video coverage in the background without me hitting play and I don’t like that. Otherwise, it does it’s job well.
Volume control
by Liibits on 2020/08/19 15:40
I like to read or watch about our local news, but exactly as another reviewer complained about is the lack of volume control to mute the ad that plays whenever there is a video attached to the article. There is no volume control until the actual news clip starts and makes me not want use this app because of it.
The worst
by davidsanger on 2017/10/14 20:19
This is probably one of the worst apps out here. You can easily set it up to get alerts, but then when you try to actually watch the live stream they are alerting you to it simply does not work.
When trying to get updates on the Napa fire I got a notification that there’s a Cal fire press conference but the app does not connect at all even with a perfect high-speed Internet connection
The app ought to be scrapped and rewritten. Do not rely on it if you are trying to get any kind of news
Stories Not Available TOO QUICKLY
by Herbonly on 2019/09/24 17:18
Too often, in fact, most often when I open an alert on my cell about a news story posted that same day has already been removed. Very frustrating. It’s so frequent, I’ve learned to not even bother trying to access the story older than a day using the KRON app and look for the story elsewhere. It’s getting so bad I’m even thinking of even deleting the app.
On top of it
by SFLther on 2020/08/14 16:03
Frequently I try to see current events on local news apps and I find that channel 4 is the fastest to cover things that are happening at the moment.
They broke swiping - dang
by Tubbseritz on 2019/05/16 17:44
The app doesn't support swiping through the news reports. I need to go back to the front page and select the next article from there. I hope that isn't intentional because I really like this app and I use it all the time.

by thomas c. esque on 2019/08/07 17:10
Good to be able to access a fair, competent and reliable news source that reports the news and doesn’t try to manipulate the facts. Thank you old friends!
App needs work
by cake_mix on 2019/09/12 18:40
Really wish there were more customization options for notifications by topic or regions of the Bay Area. I get so many KRON4 notifications that aren’t relevant to what I need to know or care about. The app is also glitchy sometimes, such as the videos don’t play right, even if I’m connected to good WiFi.
News
by skubeedo on 2020/10/08 22:58
I love this app for my news & the traffic it lets me see what is going on all day long and let’s me no what my commute looks like this is the Best Dam APP 4 my news thank you and the developers of this app. I love KRON4 thank you🌎
Cancelling Option for Dan Mateo
by Morenowg on 2019/07/13 00:16
I do not understand why KRON is cancelling their alliance with the service provider that connects lower income people to KRON.
Many can not afford the high prices of cable/Comcast/ Direct/etc. So they have to subscribe to lower tier services.
Now KRON is cutting ties so these people will not be getting this news info. Why??
Someone in Marketing Needs to Get A Grip
by Havadood on 2017/10/12 18:33
This app is horrible. Have been trying to stream from the East Coast to get updates on the fires as family and friends are in the line of fire in NoCa. This app keeps running the same 2 commercials for KRON 4 over and over and over and over again every few, very few, minutes. I mean over and over and over again. It is bizarre. Makes it unwatchable. What is their marketing department thinking?
Why doesn’t picture in picture work
by Markus2019 on 2018/06/06 03:13
Not a bad app but needs some work. It would be nice if they can get picture in picture to work.
Decent app. Couple of fixes needed
by JoycieAnne on 2019/05/30 15:56
When PUSH notifications are sent ... MANY times the article isn’t even on the app/website yet. Don’t send notifications out, unless the story is available. It’s lame to click on it and then ... nothing.
App is crashing — LOTS lately — on iOS.
Traffic updates
by Hercules John on 2020/12/11 00:23
Appreciate updates.
Would like specific freeway , or corridor updates as an option.
Freezes Often
by KaseySue3168 on 2020/10/01 14:14
I like the app and content. However, it freezes quite often and I have to close the app and reopen to finish an article. Super frustrating when you are just trying to get a quick update.
Great COVID coverage
by Ccdsakamoto on 2020/04/12 04:56
I appreciate that this app is free during the COVID crisis. I get alerts that have been incredibly useful. I like it a lot, but I won’t continue once they start charging for it again.
Can’t Silence the Ads
by CRX Driver on 2020/08/16 20:14
This is as annoying as it gets. You open an article and there’s an advertising video at the top that’s set with the sound on and you can’t silence it or stop the ad. In addition to the pure annoyance it can be embarrassing depending on where you’re at when it happens. I understand the need for advertising revenue but not when it completely ruins the user experience. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!
Constantly freezes
by HWeird on 2020/07/30 03:49
I love your news station and the app is good if it would stop freezing. I would give you five stars if it stops on the next update. I always have to restart it and sometimes more than once
Local News
by AFMann on 2019/07/11 08:18
I like your local news. Every once in a while though, your liberalism comes through and it usually makes me change the channel.
Ads and stuff
by Bts2173662773 on 2020/04/22 18:29
Repeating the same ad over and over. Try to link to a story and again. Bombed by an ad. This is not a news source. It’s home shopping network disguised as news. The overly left slanted stories are more like CNN. I want facts with my news not social commentary that is one sided. Not that FOX is any better. Just the same in the other direction. Not happy with the app at all.
Charges
by Disgruntled Ex Viewer on 2019/02/18 14:19
What’s with the chargers to watch online? I won’t pay I’d rather watch a free bay area station online to watch the news. Don’t use this app
Traffic cams
by vaccccuuum on 2019/06/14 20:29
I like the app but like on the traffic cameras like bay bridge toll plaza and stuff like that how come they are still images why aren’t they like a live video like how they are when. They show them on the news on tv ? Can you please update that? Now why should I have to subscribe just to live stream the news that’s just ridiculous!! Now I give you two stars!
Television news streaming is wonderful
by Dr. Rheum on 2019/01/01 18:38
It’s a great luxury to watch streaming news on my laptop I’ve always enjoyed watching channel 4! Keep up the great work hey!
Loving ur news nightly
by pumpkinsssssss on 2018/10/10 23:10
I have always watched your news station. I love the people that work there and the good vibes I get from the newsroom. Keep going strong
Awful app
by Marandbo on 2020/12/25 16:58
I love local news but will stick with the KTVU app. KRON app is very frustrating. You cant just read an article without having to stop the video attached. Many times you cant skip the ad or even stop the video. almost as if it freezes on you. Have been patient but will now delete the app until they fix it.
Always a Calfornian
by Ebonidebra on 2018/05/14 23:37
Living in Texas now after retiring when I lived
In Oakland. This app keeps me connected with RAIDER COUNTRY. App is organized with lots of pictures.
Live coverage with Gary and Darla and Pam. I miss their new casts. They are the best!!!!!
Love KRON 4 news
by soulsis67 on 2018/06/06 04:04
I enjoy KRON 4 news, it keeps me abreast with daily news and when there is just in news, I get the minute to minute updates.
Say Whhhaaat???
by Vietwordworm on 2018/10/07 05:22
Whoever wrote the glorious info about your improvements needs to step out onto Market St and and under oath to tell the truth, watch someone try to use your app. Then that liar should be fired for perjury. How can you guys get any worse?!? First you won’t put up the scratch to stay an NBC affiliate and now we loyal KRON fans are given pig slop in the form of an app, not to mention the non professionals in San Jose.
Sound?
by JLisaJ on 2019/11/04 15:48
Good coverage, but accompanying sound for videos seems hit or miss. This isn’t a problem with my ABC 7 app or other news apps, so not sure what’s going gonna with the KRON app.
To many ads
by jtay1092 on 2020/07/11 22:11
There are to many ads in the video portion. I mostly just want to read the news articles. The ads just start running and sometimes won’t stop. It interferes with trying to read the articles.
Terribly unstable
by SF Muffintops on 2019/10/21 04:42
KRON4 News is great to watch on TV and I was looking forward to being able to catch stories from my phone. Since installing this recently, however, I can barely read a single story before the app crashes. Some articles won’t open at all - app just crashes. Pretty disappointing and useless.
Video does not work
by Mrsjero on 2019/07/19 16:25
A few weeks ago the app stopped being able to play videos. I updated the app, still doesnt play videos. I can read the stories but cannot play the videos of the stories. Super frustrating.
Visuals don’t line up with sound
by missionminisf on 2019/06/10 03:49
Yet another day when none of what is on the screen is what is being presented verbally. And not just for a a few minutes- this lasts for beyond a reasonable amount. How can you be so slow to respond to a problem and have it happen over and over again. Really bad!
Very buggy
by Zapbanana on 2018/06/27 13:39
I would have been a really good app but the live stream news is very buggy, it stops during the commercial but sometimes it won’t come back, and screen turns dark and won’t load anymore, every time they had an app update doesn’t seem to fix the problem.

I am deleting this app because it always turns on notifications for certain pieces of news such as traffic alerts even when I turn it off. It’s been too much of a hassle and it makes me receive over 50 notifications as I sleep

For some reason we always get left out of the news for Weather reports COVID-19 tier reports on the news that’s very disappointing this evening at my house in Kelseyville I have 2 1/2 inches of snow and it’s still coming down. Only reports are for the Bay Area why.
Freeze everytime
by Yunchee on 2021/01/26 04:55
I have to refresh or turn off the app pretty often. It’s so annoying. I feel like I spend more time to do this than watching actual news.
No option to opt OUT of videos. And freezes!
by holdtheaudio! on 2021/01/22 04:50
This is the most difficult news app I’ve ever used. Not only does it CONSTANTLY freeze in middle of articles where I have to shut down app and try again, I REALLY feel I should be able to simply read an article WITHOUT being subject to the accompanying video. The video says “tap to watch”, but that’s not true. Videos start automatically each and every time I start reading. THUS, my family is awoken and I have to quickly punch my phone volume to mute it. Not ok to project noise without my consent. But that’s what this app does. So frustrating with KRON4. I emailed your news station with plea for assistance on how to opt out of auto video, but never heard back. Is it only me that has this issue?
Commercials drive me crazy!
by DeTijuana on 2021/01/18 06:56
It is impossible to turn off the sound when commercials pop up. I had to switch to another news app because of this. Very annoying.

Awful app
by Marandbo on 2020/12/25 16:58
I love local news but will stick with the KTVU app. KRON app is very frustrating. You cant just read an article without having to stop the video attached. Many times you cant skip the ad or even stop the video. almost as if it freezes on you. Have been patient but will now delete the app until they fix it.
Too many alerts

We wake up each weekday to Daria, James, John, Robin, Will, and all the other reporters out in the field. We also line to watch weekends with Marty & Dave. We love the local coverage and counted on you for our news when we had the wildfires these past several years.

As bad as the news can be at times; Darlya and James still make me laugh in the mornings. Darlya has a great personality. James and her work great together.And they are appropriately sympathetic. I wish she would go back to going to car washes and such. That was funny!! What happened to people behaving badly that was great too. Thanks
Good – plus a suggestion
by Janetfitz on 2020/10/07 19:19
Would be great if you could cover the towns and counties that have and continue to fight the 5G microwave radiation street antennas being forced upon us by the FCC and Telecom.
Interview Dr. Joel Moskowitz at UC Berkeley (Public Health) for starters. And Dr. Paul Heroux (McGill U.) At what point do you side with your viewers versus your advertisers, is the question I hope you ask. Please don’t sell us out by ignoring this most important ongoing development! .

Freezes Often
by KaseySue3168 on 2020/10/01 14:14
I like the app and content. However, it freezes quite often and I have to close the app and reopen to finish an article. Super frustrating when you are just trying to get a quick update.
It mediocre
by FishFracker on 2020/09/29 14:22
I check the news on my phone app everyday. To be honest the stories l seem to be very repetitive and a tad on the boring side. I prefer reading over watching the videos so I’m happy to have that option to say the least

Terrible performance
by ral222 on 2020/08/20 21:58
I have had this app for several years and multiple updates. I like the content and don’t mind the ads but on my phone the app hangs almost every time I use it. Also the scrolling is very ragged unlike any other app I have used. Needs some work.

Volume control
by Liibits on 2020/08/19 15:40
I like to read or watch about our local news, but exactly as another reviewer complained about is the lack of volume control to mute the ad that plays whenever there is a video attached to the article. There is no volume control until the actual news clip starts and makes me not want use this app because of it.
Can’t Silence the Ads
by CRX Driver on 2020/08/16 20:14
This is as annoying as it gets. You open an article and there’s an advertising video at the top that’s set with the sound on and you can’t silence it or stop the ad. In addition to the pure annoyance it can be embarrassing depending on where you’re at when it happens. I understand the need for advertising revenue but not when it completely ruins the user experience. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!
Buggy af
by Amithatguy on 2020/08/15 23:58
The app freezes CONSTANTLY. You’re reading an article and all of a sudden it won’t scroll anymore. It’s random but extremely common.
On top of it
by SFLther on 2020/08/14 16:03
Frequently I try to see current events on local news apps and I find that channel 4 is the fastest to cover things that are happening at the moment.
I would recommend kron
by Bella Keenan on 2020/08/14 07:35
Kron 4 is a very good app and it’s where I get my local news coverage. The only problem that I have with the app is that sometimes when I read the news it plays the video coverage in the background without me hitting play and I don’t like that. Otherwise, it does it’s job well.
Glitchy and Freezes From Time to Time
by Bryan3232 on 2020/08/09 17:02
I’ve noticed the Kron 4 app can be kind of glitchy and will freeze up on me from time to time.
Commercials/adds

Ridiculous you have them playing loud when we just want to read the news. It is annoying! Turn off the sound of your commercials!! Please!!
App freezes constantly
by Reiddude1 on 2020/07/31 06:05
Seems to be a recent issue but the app just freezes when reading an article. Only fix is to swipe up and close and reopen.
Very buggy but OK for being free
by Randy_perrone on 2020/07/30 22:58
The app bogs down until it freezes half the time that I use it. It’s also super annoying that when scrolling down it will reset the timeline and send me back to the top. I then have to scroll all the way back down to where I was. Happens quite a bit.
I do like that it’s free and keeps me up to date on the run, so 3 stars for that!
Constantly freezes
by HWeird on 2020/07/30 03:49
I love your news station and the app is good if it would stop freezing. I would give you five stars if it stops on the next update. I always have to restart it and sometimes more than once

by Bts2173662773 on 2020/04/22 18:29
Repeating the same ad over and over. Try to link to a story and again. Bombed by an ad. This is not a news source. It’s home shopping network disguised as news. The overly left slanted stories are more like CNN. I want facts with my news not social commentary that is one sided. Not that FOX is any better. Just the same in the other direction. Not happy with the app at all.
Nice app, relevant stories

I Don’t Like The Tiled Headlines
by zax@esef49ers on 2020/04/12 23:10
Microsoft tried the tiled headlines approach and failed miserably.
It didn’t make a very good impression. That eventually was trashed. Hence, an immediate turn to Windows 10. Which is still bad but better than the tiled Windows.
Great COVID coverage
by Ccdsakamoto on 2020/04/12 04:56
I appreciate that this app is free during the COVID crisis. I get alerts that have been incredibly useful. I like it a lot, but I won’t continue once they start charging for it again.

Turn off the volume!
by Makerick24 on 2020/04/03 15:14
I just want to read the article & not hear whatever video or ad you want to play. My mute button is on & the only way to eliminate the sound is to turn the volume all the way down! It’s very disruptive & am ready to remove this app.
Needs more customizable notifications
by keeph0pe on 2020/03/31 03:32
Way too many notifications, especially now with the COVID-19 coverage. I’m getting an alert every time a new death or increase in cases (both of which are to be expected) is reported in the state. This is a serious situation, but we can’t be bombarded with it 24/7 at such a degree. I’d like to still receive notifications, but there’s no way for me to differentiate alerts from breaking news such as new restrictions or laws, from updates every 20 minutes on the count of cases.
Awesome

Commercials
by puzzle crazi on 2020/03/26 22:08
I have always loved the great coverage that KRON4 has to offer. But lately I am irritated by the commercials that pop up on the top of the screen. I don’t mind that they are there and I understand the business purpose of the existence. My issue is the automatic volume that comes blaring on. I read the news in the morning and cannot see more about the subject because I can’t control the sound or level until I can hit the off button ASAP. I have woken up children and spouse due to this unasked for interruptions. I find it so irritating that I don’t sang to read the articles any more.

by Arlene2 on 2019/11/06 17:29
I so appreciate getting local news and at a very reasonable subscription price. However I find it difficult to negotiate my way around the app. I’ll get a news flag on my front screen and it does not open to that article directly & it is not necessarily intuitive where to look for it. Also, I’m not sure if it’s the app or my phone but the videos time out so I don’t use them. Regardless, thank you KronOn!
Sound?
by JLisaJ on 2019/11/04 15:48
Good coverage, but accompanying sound for videos seems hit or miss. This isn’t a problem with my ABC 7 app or other news apps, so not sure what’s going gonna with the KRON app.
Mahalo!
by shellsurf on 2019/10/31 13:17
KRON does a great job of broadcasting the latest Fire & evacuation info during wildfires. This BayA Native is able to monitor & share info with loved ones on social media from my iPad on Maui. Friends in NorCal can download app & watch when the power is out if they have cell coverage or wi-fi. Great community service! Highly recommended and appreciated.
Try Harder
by Accountable237 on 2019/10/30 03:10
To put it simply this station sends alerts for breaking news that has already transpired. They also provide links to live coverage that are absolutely not live. It’s recorded and replayed throughout the day. This is deceptive and should be criminal. Just another business disguised and a public service.

by SF Muffintops on 2019/10/21 04:42
KRON4 News is great to watch on TV and I was looking forward to being able to catch stories from my phone. Since installing this recently, however, I can barely read a single story before the app crashes. Some articles won’t open at all - app just crashes. Pretty disappointing and useless.
**** 5 stars

Notifications mysteriously keep reenabling
by Shawn c on 2019/10/15 02:58
The app is good for the most part, but once a week or so I notice that more and more non-important alerts keep popping up in my notifications. I go into the app, and, sure enough, alerts like “Trending Now” are reenabled automatically. I shut them all off except for “News Alerts” and the process repeats itself later. It’s getting very annoying.
I’m still keeping an eye out for a better local news app that doesn’t spam me with superfluous notifications in attempts to harvest more clicks.

Why bother
by Stooz on 2019/10/02 04:57
It’s basically a web experience with some junk wrapped around it. Not well designed. Video clips fail all the time. You are a SF Bay Area news station - would be great if you could tap into all the talent here and get a real app built that works.

Stories Not Available TOO QUICKLY
by Herbonly on 2019/09/24 17:18
Too often, in fact, most often when I open an alert on my cell about a news story posted that same day has already been removed. Very frustrating. It’s so frequent, I’ve learned to not even bother trying to access the story older than a day using the KRON app and look for the story elsewhere. It’s getting so bad I’m even thinking of even deleting the app.
Infomercials

Kron 4 has been my go to for news for years. The repetitive infomercials made we switch to channel 2
App needs work
by cake_mix on 2019/09/12 18:40
Really wish there were more customization options for notifications by topic or regions of the Bay Area. I get so many KRON4 notifications that aren’t relevant to what I need to know or care about. The app is also glitchy sometimes, such as the videos don’t play right, even if I’m connected to good WiFi.

Cancelling Option for Dan Mateo
by Morenowg on 2019/07/13 00:16
I do not understand why KRON is cancelling their alliance with the service provider that connects lower income people to KRON.
Many can not afford the high prices of cable/Comcast/ Direct/etc. So they have to subscribe to lower tier services.
Now KRON is cutting ties so these people will not be getting this news info. Why??

It’s like an 80’s application, I’ve downloaded the app in my fire stick to watch the news but it gets stuck every 5 minutes and right now I have 30 minutes in silence watching the Traffic, is like a horror movie and I’ll be on it in 30 minutes when I start driving to work!

by vaccccuuum on 2019/06/14 20:29
I like the app but like on the traffic cameras like bay bridge toll plaza and stuff like that how come they are still images why aren’t they like a live video like how they are when. They show them on the news on tv ? Can you please update that? Now why should I have to subscribe just to live stream the news that’s just ridiculous!! Now I give you two stars!

by missionminisf on 2019/06/10 03:49
Yet another day when none of what is on the screen is what is being presented verbally. And not just for a a few minutes- this lasts for beyond a reasonable amount. How can you be so slow to respond to a problem and have it happen over and over again. Really bad!
Decent app. Couple of fixes needed
by JoycieAnne on 2019/05/30 15:56
When PUSH notifications are sent ... MANY times the article isn’t even on the app/website yet. Don’t send notifications out, unless the story is available. It’s lame to click on it and then ... nothing.
App is crashing — LOTS lately — on iOS.
Excellent (before)
by Chivaexplorer on 2019/05/30 00:08
Previously (when it was totally free) we had more content, videos, graphics, interviews, surveys, totally opposite to what we now have and that are exclusively for payment

Up to date news, great weather reporting and great app!
Commercials
by puzzle crazi on 2020/03/26 22:08
I have always loved the great coverage that KRON4 has to offer. But lately I am irritated by the commercials that pop up on the top of the screen. I don’t mind that they are there and I understand the business purpose of the existence. My issue is the automatic volume that comes blaring on. I read the news in the morning and cannot see more about the subject because I can’t control the sound or level until I can hit the off button ASAP. I have woken up children and spouse due to this unasked for interruptions. I find it so irritating that I don’t sang to read the articles any more.
I Love KRON4
by Arlene2 on 2019/11/06 17:29
I so appreciate getting local news and at a very reasonable subscription price. However I find it difficult to negotiate my way around the app. I’ll get a news flag on my front screen and it does not open to that article directly & it is not necessarily intuitive where to look for it. Also, I’m not sure if it’s the app or my phone but the videos time out so I don’t use them. Regardless, thank you KronOn!
No option to opt OUT of videos. And freezes!
by holdtheaudio! on 2021/01/22 04:50
This is the most difficult news app I’ve ever used. Not only does it CONSTANTLY freeze in middle of articles where I have to shut down app and try again, I REALLY feel I should be able to simply read an article WITHOUT being subject to the accompanying video. The video says “tap to watch”, but that’s not true. Videos start automatically each and every time I start reading. THUS, my family is awoken and I have to quickly punch my phone volume to mute it. Not ok to project noise without my consent. But that’s what this app does. So frustrating with KRON4. I emailed your news station with plea for assistance on how to opt out of auto video, but never heard back. Is it only me that has this issue?
KRON 4 News App
by bsmittie on 2018/10/13 05:26
Overall a clean interface where I can get my daily “news fix at-a-glance.” Ads are not hovering all over the pages, unless you link deeper to other stories. It is frustrating when the news headlines main page dynamically refreshes itself. It hurts my eyeballs, as the headline I was just reading moved to another location on the page, and continues to move unless I click on it to read. Again, this KRON 4 app is good for a quick overview of the day’s headlines.
Notifications mysteriously keep reenabling
by Shawn c on 2019/10/15 02:58
The app is good for the most part, but once a week or so I notice that more and more non-important alerts keep popping up in my notifications. I go into the app, and, sure enough, alerts like “Trending Now” are reenabled automatically. I shut them all off except for “News Alerts” and the process repeats itself later. It’s getting very annoying.
I’m still keeping an eye out for a better local news app that doesn’t spam me with superfluous notifications in attempts to harvest more clicks.
Absolutely the BEST News Program in the Bay Area!
by Ross from Hilo, Hawaii on 2018/10/26 22:34
While visiting friends in Glen Ellen, I enjoyed watching your news program...it reminded me sooo much of our news station back in Hawaii....Because of that, and the fact that I had a great time in Northern California, I decided to add the
app for KRON4 NEWS to both, my IPhone and IPad....that way I’ll always be connected in someway to the Bay Area and to my friends in Glen Ellen.
Needs more customizable notifications
by keeph0pe on 2020/03/31 03:32
Way too many notifications, especially now with the COVID-19 coverage. I’m getting an alert every time a new death or increase in cases (both of which are to be expected) is reported in the state. This is a serious situation, but we can’t be bombarded with it 24/7 at such a degree. I’d like to still receive notifications, but there’s no way for me to differentiate alerts from breaking news such as new restrictions or laws, from updates every 20 minutes on the count of cases.
Application is a perpetual glitch
by DianaPepe on 2019/07/02 13:28
It’s like an 80’s application, I’ve downloaded the app in my fire stick to watch the news but it gets stuck every 5 minutes and right now I have 30 minutes in silence watching the Traffic, is like a horror movie and I’ll be on it in 30 minutes when I start driving to work!
Informed and Prepared
by shaonly on 2018/12/09 04:06
Thank you for all the local and national news events. Everything from traffic to weather is greatly appreciated by my family as well as my self. I am from Berkeley California and I now live in Richmond California. I am able to prepare our day based on the information you provide us with. Thank you..Thank you...Thank you

Sincerely yours Louisa Salcido.
Mahalo!
by shellsurf on 2019/10/31 13:17
KRON does a great job of broadcasting the latest Fire & evacuation info during wildfires. This BayA Native is able to monitor & share info with loved ones on social media from my iPad on Maui. Friends in NorCal can download app & watch when the power is out if they have cell coverage or wi-fi. Great community service! Highly recommended and appreciated.
Good – plus a suggestion
by Janetfitz on 2020/10/07 19:19
Would be great if you could cover the towns and counties that have and continue to fight the 5G microwave radiation street antennas being forced upon us by the FCC and Telecom.
Interview Dr. Joel Moskowitz at UC Berkeley (Public Health) for starters. And Dr. Paul Heroux (McGill U.) At what point do you side with your viewers versus your advertisers, is the question I hope you ask. Please don’t sell us out by ignoring this most important ongoing development! .
We love the KRON 4 News morning team’s coverage
by John & Heidi on 2020/12/07 14:16
We wake up each weekday to Daria, James, John, Robin, Will, and all the other reporters out in the field. We also line to watch weekends with Marty & Dave. We love the local coverage and counted on you for our news when we had the wildfires these past several years.

Very buggy but OK for being free
by Randy_perrone on 2020/07/30 22:58
The app bogs down until it freezes half the time that I use it. It’s also super annoying that when scrolling down it will reset the timeline and send me back to the top. I then have to scroll all the way back down to where I was. Happens quite a bit.
I do like that it’s free and keeps me up to date on the run, so 3 stars for that!
Great local news
by GreeneyedLady59 on 2018/05/09 02:36
I love KRON4 news. I watch it everyday and I’m so glad we can watch it on our devices. It gives me important updates on what’s going on locally and not local. When I can’t get to a tv I get it on my device. Thank you!!
I would recommend kron
by Bella Keenan on 2020/08/14 07:35
Kron 4 is a very good app and it’s where I get my local news coverage. The only problem that I have with the app is that sometimes when I read the news it plays the video coverage in the background without me hitting play and I don’t like that. Otherwise, it does it’s job well.
Volume control
by Liibits on 2020/08/19 15:40
I like to read or watch about our local news, but exactly as another reviewer complained about is the lack of volume control to mute the ad that plays whenever there is a video attached to the article. There is no volume control until the actual news clip starts and makes me not want use this app because of it.
The worst
by davidsanger on 2017/10/14 20:19
This is probably one of the worst apps out here. You can easily set it up to get alerts, but then when you try to actually watch the live stream they are alerting you to it simply does not work.
When trying to get updates on the Napa fire I got a notification that there’s a Cal fire press conference but the app does not connect at all even with a perfect high-speed Internet connection
The app ought to be scrapped and rewritten. Do not rely on it if you are trying to get any kind of news
Stories Not Available TOO QUICKLY
by Herbonly on 2019/09/24 17:18
Too often, in fact, most often when I open an alert on my cell about a news story posted that same day has already been removed. Very frustrating. It’s so frequent, I’ve learned to not even bother trying to access the story older than a day using the KRON app and look for the story elsewhere. It’s getting so bad I’m even thinking of even deleting the app.
On top of it
by SFLther on 2020/08/14 16:03
Frequently I try to see current events on local news apps and I find that channel 4 is the fastest to cover things that are happening at the moment.
They broke swiping - dang
by Tubbseritz on 2019/05/16 17:44
The app doesn't support swiping through the news reports. I need to go back to the front page and select the next article from there. I hope that isn't intentional because I really like this app and I use it all the time.
69 year old news fan.
by thomas c. esque on 2019/08/07 17:10
Good to be able to access a fair, competent and reliable news source that reports the news and doesn’t try to manipulate the facts. Thank you old friends!
App needs work
by cake_mix on 2019/09/12 18:40
Really wish there were more customization options for notifications by topic or regions of the Bay Area. I get so many KRON4 notifications that aren’t relevant to what I need to know or care about. The app is also glitchy sometimes, such as the videos don’t play right, even if I’m connected to good WiFi.
News
by skubeedo on 2020/10/08 22:58
I love this app for my news & the traffic it lets me see what is going on all day long and let’s me no what my commute looks like this is the Best Dam APP 4 my news thank you and the developers of this app. I love KRON4 thank you🌎
Cancelling Option for Dan Mateo
by Morenowg on 2019/07/13 00:16
I do not understand why KRON is cancelling their alliance with the service provider that connects lower income people to KRON.
Many can not afford the high prices of cable/Comcast/ Direct/etc. So they have to subscribe to lower tier services.
Now KRON is cutting ties so these people will not be getting this news info. Why??
Someone in Marketing Needs to Get A Grip
by Havadood on 2017/10/12 18:33
This app is horrible. Have been trying to stream from the East Coast to get updates on the fires as family and friends are in the line of fire in NoCa. This app keeps running the same 2 commercials for KRON 4 over and over and over and over again every few, very few, minutes. I mean over and over and over again. It is bizarre. Makes it unwatchable. What is their marketing department thinking?
Why doesn’t picture in picture work
by Markus2019 on 2018/06/06 03:13
Not a bad app but needs some work. It would be nice if they can get picture in picture to work.
Decent app. Couple of fixes needed
by JoycieAnne on 2019/05/30 15:56
When PUSH notifications are sent ... MANY times the article isn’t even on the app/website yet. Don’t send notifications out, unless the story is available. It’s lame to click on it and then ... nothing.
App is crashing — LOTS lately — on iOS.
Traffic updates
by Hercules John on 2020/12/11 00:23
Appreciate updates.
Would like specific freeway , or corridor updates as an option.
Freezes Often
by KaseySue3168 on 2020/10/01 14:14
I like the app and content. However, it freezes quite often and I have to close the app and reopen to finish an article. Super frustrating when you are just trying to get a quick update.
Great COVID coverage
by Ccdsakamoto on 2020/04/12 04:56
I appreciate that this app is free during the COVID crisis. I get alerts that have been incredibly useful. I like it a lot, but I won’t continue once they start charging for it again.
Can’t Silence the Ads
by CRX Driver on 2020/08/16 20:14
This is as annoying as it gets. You open an article and there’s an advertising video at the top that’s set with the sound on and you can’t silence it or stop the ad. In addition to the pure annoyance it can be embarrassing depending on where you’re at when it happens. I understand the need for advertising revenue but not when it completely ruins the user experience. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!
Constantly freezes
by HWeird on 2020/07/30 03:49
I love your news station and the app is good if it would stop freezing. I would give you five stars if it stops on the next update. I always have to restart it and sometimes more than once
Local News
by AFMann on 2019/07/11 08:18
I like your local news. Every once in a while though, your liberalism comes through and it usually makes me change the channel.
Ads and stuff
by Bts2173662773 on 2020/04/22 18:29
Repeating the same ad over and over. Try to link to a story and again. Bombed by an ad. This is not a news source. It’s home shopping network disguised as news. The overly left slanted stories are more like CNN. I want facts with my news not social commentary that is one sided. Not that FOX is any better. Just the same in the other direction. Not happy with the app at all.
Charges
by Disgruntled Ex Viewer on 2019/02/18 14:19
What’s with the chargers to watch online? I won’t pay I’d rather watch a free bay area station online to watch the news. Don’t use this app
Traffic cams
by vaccccuuum on 2019/06/14 20:29
I like the app but like on the traffic cameras like bay bridge toll plaza and stuff like that how come they are still images why aren’t they like a live video like how they are when. They show them on the news on tv ? Can you please update that? Now why should I have to subscribe just to live stream the news that’s just ridiculous!! Now I give you two stars!
Television news streaming is wonderful
by Dr. Rheum on 2019/01/01 18:38
It’s a great luxury to watch streaming news on my laptop I’ve always enjoyed watching channel 4! Keep up the great work hey!
Loving ur news nightly
by pumpkinsssssss on 2018/10/10 23:10
I have always watched your news station. I love the people that work there and the good vibes I get from the newsroom. Keep going strong
Awful app
by Marandbo on 2020/12/25 16:58
I love local news but will stick with the KTVU app. KRON app is very frustrating. You cant just read an article without having to stop the video attached. Many times you cant skip the ad or even stop the video. almost as if it freezes on you. Have been patient but will now delete the app until they fix it.
Always a Calfornian
by Ebonidebra on 2018/05/14 23:37
Living in Texas now after retiring when I lived
In Oakland. This app keeps me connected with RAIDER COUNTRY. App is organized with lots of pictures.
Live coverage with Gary and Darla and Pam. I miss their new casts. They are the best!!!!!
Love KRON 4 news
by soulsis67 on 2018/06/06 04:04
I enjoy KRON 4 news, it keeps me abreast with daily news and when there is just in news, I get the minute to minute updates.
Say Whhhaaat???
by Vietwordworm on 2018/10/07 05:22
Whoever wrote the glorious info about your improvements needs to step out onto Market St and and under oath to tell the truth, watch someone try to use your app. Then that liar should be fired for perjury. How can you guys get any worse?!? First you won’t put up the scratch to stay an NBC affiliate and now we loyal KRON fans are given pig slop in the form of an app, not to mention the non professionals in San Jose.
Sound?
by JLisaJ on 2019/11/04 15:48
Good coverage, but accompanying sound for videos seems hit or miss. This isn’t a problem with my ABC 7 app or other news apps, so not sure what’s going gonna with the KRON app.
To many ads
by jtay1092 on 2020/07/11 22:11
There are to many ads in the video portion. I mostly just want to read the news articles. The ads just start running and sometimes won’t stop. It interferes with trying to read the articles.
Terribly unstable
by SF Muffintops on 2019/10/21 04:42
KRON4 News is great to watch on TV and I was looking forward to being able to catch stories from my phone. Since installing this recently, however, I can barely read a single story before the app crashes. Some articles won’t open at all - app just crashes. Pretty disappointing and useless.
Video does not work
by Mrsjero on 2019/07/19 16:25
A few weeks ago the app stopped being able to play videos. I updated the app, still doesnt play videos. I can read the stories but cannot play the videos of the stories. Super frustrating.

Very buggy
by Zapbanana on 2018/06/27 13:39
I would have been a really good app but the live stream news is very buggy, it stops during the commercial but sometimes it won’t come back, and screen turns dark and won’t load anymore, every time they had an app update doesn’t seem to fix the problem.
