★★★★★ Nadra Curtis · Nov 28, 2023

Always interesting to hear the news from them. Love the weather forecasts too.

★★★★★ jennifer stasiak · Mar 22, 2024

I really like this app for my local news/weather alerts. It's been crashing a lot lately. I Uninstalled then Reinstalled. Hope this helps

★★★★★ Lisa Foster · Oct 11, 2019

I'm thoroughly enjoying this app, my child is in MSU and my parents live in the Ozarks, so it's good to know important news, especially keeping an eye on the weather! Thank you for a great job!

★★★★★ Geneva Fox · May 5, 2020

I like being able to see all the news not just some of it. I love your weather app also !

★☆☆☆☆ Jim Crain · Mar 2, 2023

There is no search, no choosing channel, no KOHL local programming, no syndication programs" just news and weather, no locally produced or syndicated anything. Uninstalling

★☆☆☆☆ Bully Forge · Apr 3, 2026

I downloaded this to watch the rainwater videos. This app must have been an afterthought or something. This has the worst UI I've ever seen. Difficult to navigate and difficult or impossible to find what I'm trying to watch.

★☆☆☆☆ Lisa Gibson · Mar 21, 2022

When searching for the current weather app, Google play shows the older versions and makes it difficult to find the newest App. I haven't tried this App because of the negative reviews and the dates of them are a few years old, so I assume it's the outdated version.
