This was a great app until recently. Now too many ads! The weather used to be fast & easy to read, too, but now you have to have a magnifying glass to read the daily & 5 day forecast, or slog through the video (and it's ads). They should have left the app alone. No improvements here.

App is terrible. Used to use the website to watch the news because I cant watch it live but now I have to use the app, but only the most recent shows are available with no playback controls so if i accidentally touch my phone and it closes i have to start all over or cant rewind to catch some info i missed. Stop making things worse and discriminating against people who cant afford a smartphone who can only access the website. Please make everything available on the website again!

The app doesn't always open when I am out of the country, showing a "technical difficulty" sign. I really wish I could zoom in on the pages. The weather forecast block has such small text it is often unreadable. Don't understand why the ads in front of videos have to be so long. I often see the same videos on the competition's websites without any ads.

I installed the app so I might be able to see the weather forecast in a better format. But as usual, there's no provision for us hicks outside of Seattle to personalize the information we want. The weather in Snohomish county is not the same as Seattle and it would be convenient to be able to change reporting parameters to reflect that. This is an update. The app has turned into a great one. I use it every day.

Links in drop down don't always work. Videos for articles don't always match and the information in them versus the typed content is always different. Due to info being different you can't play video and read at the same time it will stop and if you scroll up to continue it will play another ad again. Splash page structure is confusing and doesn't flow like others.

Useless! Takes forever to open and DOES NOT HAVE TRAFFIC. If it does, it's hidden away as if a five year old was allowed to do their UX. Seems they want you to install a useless maps/routing partner app because they couldn't be bothered to provide the functionality themselves though. Probably going to write a stupid webview app for my own use to replace it since that's all it was anyway (with the addition of ads). WSDOT app isn't great but is lightweight and also works as a replacement.

Wants to stream ads more than the stories. Constantly buffering news but ads play just fine. I have 4 local news apps and this by far the worst. Don't move while watching because if it thinks you are rotating the screen and will stop and play an ad before you can get back to the video.

This used to be my favorite Puget Sound news app, but now they have not only GREATLY increased ad content, but they have also integrated the ads into the news roll to try and trick you into clicking on them. Shame on you, King 5. Also, the ads now include the somewhat raunchy "worst wedding pictures" and "scandalous Walmart shoppers" type of trash complete with teaser photos of scantily clad women. Double shame on you, King 5! Looking for a replacement app as soon as I post this.
