Comments on KBTX News for Android

★★★★★ Melodi Henry · Nov 22, 2024
KBTX has been my source for all things local for decades. One of my favorite features of the app is the news alerts sent out.
★★☆☆☆ Nicole Mack · Jun 23, 2020
As others have said, the new update seems to have broken the app. When I click on the story it either never loads or loads then the screen goes blank if I scroll down to read it. Android user.
★☆☆☆☆ Benton Lacy · Jun 23, 2020
I used to love this app, but now it won't load pages and just shows a blank screen. I have removed the app and started following another local news source.
★☆☆☆☆ Liz S · Jan 5, 2026
Too many ads! It's unwatchable now. I used to rely on BTX app for local news but not anymore. App is terrible now!
