User Reviews for KCRA 3 News - Sacramento

Long time user

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.

Dissapointed

I like the increased amount of stories, and the old app would often not display pictures or play videos, but this app has gone overboard on video. First, you have to scroll through large video still to find the news stories. That is slow. Then you have to wait and watch a thirty second commercial before each and every video. 30 seconds of ad before every story is ridiculous. Also, they have stories categorized by local communities. I wish they had a category for regional news. You would think a news site that bills itself as serving Northern California would have thought of that. If they don't tweak a few things I will not use the app much. Too few news stories as well, and some are stale old news. To keep a story that says "fire breaks out" for weeks is misleading.

Airplanes and Coronavirus

To whom it may concern There is a huge story that you should be the leader in reporting that would sweep the nation What is the airline industry doing to protect the public by using current means to clean and sanitize after every flight? In reality - the federal govt has not come out and given any mandates to cleaning an airplane against the Coronavirus and until done so - airlines are not authorized to do any additional cleaning or change their current practices to protect the public b/c that would cost them money to do that. So until regulations change - the general public should be afraid of traveling on an airplane The great White Buffalo of Elk Grove is my nickname

Dedicated Weather App was so much better...

Why should I have to dig through all the news to get to weather when all I wanted was weather? And once I get to the weather section after a few clicks, the layout is horrible when compared to the previous weather app that has been discontinued.I used the KCRA Weather app for years. Even used it several more years after the “this app is going away” banner started showing up at the top. But finally it stopped working. So I’ve tried more than a few times to use this “News & Weather” app, but I’m done.Several of the free weather apps out there are better than KCRA’s app offering and I will be headed to one of those instead. And its sad too because Mark Finan is a weather nut! KCRA has the best weather team by far, but they killed the best Weather app there ever was for our area. Best of luck to you all! I’ll check my KCRA Weather app I still have installed periodically to see if again starts retrieving data, but I wont hold my breath.

Left in limbo

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.

Vivian From Lincoln California

I love your app… Not only locally, but because I also work with a fire agency for California, I am alerted with all the local news which really helps me know what’s going on daily! Im out in the field for a month and sometimes month and half at a time! I really appreciate all that KCRA has done to keep me Inform with the local news. Thanks for keeping me informed !!!! love your staff , love the information and appreciate your honest news and Mark Finan is Especially important to me because of the fire weather and the humidity… Thats very important for the job that I do thank you! The one thing that I would like to see is a live stream I don’t want to see just the news I want to see the whole lifestream like they do with FOX40Vivian Graham. Lincoln Ca.

KCRA is a Great Local Sacramento News App

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.

The app needs to be worked on.

The reason that I’m giving this review a three star rating is because I hope the IT will fix the problem. I enjoy the app and would like to read the news when I wanted to instead of only when I get an alert. Whenever I attempt to read and watch the news on the app without getting an alert it won’t open up. It always goes to a blank screen with a small notification to retry. In addition to that I can’t locate contact numbers. I’ve tried to report the issue but couldn’t find how to contact. I hope this gets resolved as we travel quite a bit and it would be wonderful to be able to use when away.

Extremely annoying

Whenever I launch the app, more than 50% of the time a long ad plays, and then nothing happens. I close the app and restart it, and a 30 second ad plays. Sometimes nothing happens again, for another 10-15 minutes. When I watch the news, it often repeats the last few seconds and then skips ahead, so you miss that part of the story which you were waiting to hear. After you watch several minutes of the news, if you momentarily switch to another app (e.g., Messages to see who just texted you), and come back to the app, it starts from the very beginning again, starting with the ad. Very annoying to have to watch the first 15-20 minutes over again to get to the next news story. If you want local news, it’s awful that you have to use this annoying app.

Frustrated

I have used and really liked this app for several years. However, in recent weeks, I haven’t been able to read all the content of many articles. Sentences will be left unfinished where an ad is stuck in the middle of an article. I haven’t been able to get rid of the ad, or to find the rest of the article. Instead, the article is often continued without ever being able to complete the section I was reading. I am not always in a location where I can view a video, so it’s important to be able to read the article in it’s entirety. KCRA 3 has been my favorite local news & weather station for more than 30 years. While I will continue to watch it on TV, I’m considering looking for another local news app on my iPhone.
