Happy with app!

Hey man... Weather, Spurs and Cowboys is what I mainly use app for as well as I get alerts of breaking news. It works fine with my needs! Keep up the good work!!!

Video on app

Practically every video I want to watch on this app doesnt work. I have a iphone 6 plus so is not the phone. Can you fix the bug please.

Best news/weather/sports app

When theres a live video of anything it has really nice audio and sound and hd. Every time something Importaint going on there always on top of every thing .its just a perfect app

Recommended

So far so good! I love the traffic and weather notifications, as well as, late breaking news. However, I do wish the weather radar screens were more interactive.

Worst. Weather app. Ever

I downloaded this app to track weather in SA, but I did not know that the people who update it are some of the laziest in the country! Today is a perfect example, its Sunday (July 19th) and when I check the weather forecast its still showing weather for Thursday. Seriously!?!? When I try to refresh the weather it then says there is "nothing in the weather feed". Its pathetic and has been an issue since Ive been using the app, over 2.5 years now! Get your act together KENS, update your app DAILY!!

Whats going on????

Ive had this app for a long time and just a couple of days ago, I try to check the radar and it shows loading..Ive deleted and downloaded the app again and its still doing this..please fix it soon..

Good local news, what happened to radar??!?!?!?

I look at this app all the time to stay current on whats happening locally and abroad. My only complaint is the amount of spelling errors I spot on a daily basis. Youd think that wouldnt happen with the current technology we have. Radar is not loading. One of my favorite features of the app and it isnt working:(

Solid local news app

I like the fact that weather report is part of the app. Last app has a separate app for weather.

No News or ...

The news stories @ 10:30 am are exactly the same as the news stories at 11:00 last night. Either there was no reportable news in a city the size of San Antonio in the last 12 hours, or the station has an app just to have an app. In any case it reinforces that SA is a backwater with mediocre news organizations. UPDATE (10/13/2015): KENS 5 has joined the ranks of the other mercenary outlets by adding commercials at the beginning of each video. So, when you click on a story about a dead child or an assaulted woman you get a minute of an inane jingle by a local plumbing company.

Latest update (10/2015)

Always loved app! New update shrinks live broadcast, and cuts off part of it. Weather pages nearly small as on phone. Put size back, plz!

still needs work!

text cut offs, need better frequency of news updates, videos in many articles dont respond

Not enough

Some "news" stories have been on the site for two months. Cannot be relied on for the latest information. Needs updating more frequently.

Great App for my use

I live in Western Texas, but have family in San Antonio, Boerne, San Marcos, and Bastrop. This is a great app to keep up with current events, hazards, severe weather, that may be affecting my family in the San Antonio, Hill Country, and Austin area! Great Notifications, and radar!

Kens 5

Love the app for instant news and weather when it happens. It tells you where and which roads are blocked. Thank you Kens 5 you are the greatest.

Birder

Local news coverage is great. Texas news and national news are rarely updated. Maybe theses linked should be dropped so readers are not disappointed.

Fix news items

The news list shows the starting item information but when the story is opened, some have only the first line of the paragraph before it is cut off and starts with second paragraph. Otherwise, great way to get news updates.

Pretty good for me

I usually just use this app to check local weather, and its good for that.

Good app

Clean lines,and pictures, quick movement to stories.

Needs Large fonts. New Upgrade has none

Poor news value

Re-reading the posted articles made me question the news values of this local CBS affiliate. Then when they decide to take a subjective stance they ceased being journalists and went on become copy readers. Bravo on losing viewers.
