KCRA 3 News - Sacramento

I am frustrated with this app because when I am in the middle of reading a story it will abruptly end, even mid sentence. The rest of the story is not there. This occurs often and usually in stories that are originally from other sources. The least one could do is make sure the entire story is there before posting it. There are also a lot of grammatical errors. It is like things are not proofread by anyone. I have watched only KCRA since I was a child. I am 57. In the past 2 years I have been turned off by the lack of integrity with the “journalism”. Reporters should not have a bias and this station clearly does. It has been especially blatant in the past year. I can’t watch or read it anymore and most of my family and friends have quit as well. Too many opinions are expressed in the articles. Sometimes even one simple adjective reveals the bias. Gone are the days of just reporting the facts - proven true facts that is. You also use too many stories from CNN. It is common knowledge that that are the least trusted, least ethical sham of a news agency. Why do you rely on them for stories? They misinform, give only opinions, and do not even cover true and important stories. Please try to be better than they are.

I enjoy reading many news articles in depth that I have previewed on the KCRA News Channel. I like the on-line format of being presented news articles in text format but often accompanied by Video clips from the broadcast news. One drawback I find is that the news articles are usually restricted from printing to hard copy. There are many occasions when I would like to save a print copy of a piece of news for sharing with my family or reading off-line when timing is more convenient. But in general I am mostly pleased with the quality of this News Channel application.

I have had the KCRA App for a long time, I deleted it for about 3 months because I felt the content was mostly sensationalized pieces that had nothing to do with our local area. I added the app back recently, i’m still disappointed, some of the content has gotten better, however, the feature of pop up ads while reading an article has become beyond annoying. I know advertising is what makes the app free, I have no problem watching an advertisement before a video plays (it is annoying however I understand it makes the app free). Yet when just reading an article an advertisement pops up and blocks the entire screen and when it’s over I touch the X icon in the upper corner and the ad goes away for a few moments giving time to read just a few lines of the article and then the advertisement pops back up again. I changed settings for the app. I’ve deleted it and added it again and when reading the articles the pop-up ad comes back again and again and again and again. I can’t even read a full article. I’m done with this app.
