KSL.com News Utah for Pc

The app is generally good. The news is fairly unbiased but sometimes a little corny. I feel KSL tries to tie every story through the world to Utah. They haven’t been doing it as much over the last year but it is still there. I like the World section though sometimes the entire article says exactly what you see as the preview//title. I also use the listen live feature as well as a few others. Good sports and other news sections where you can filter the type of sports or sub topic you want to hear about. I kind of wish there was a report news feature. I get annoyed by the comments section because I feel like my comments are omitted. In that way I feel like they are trying to be PC and not offend people. It is both a good and a bad thing because it curbs what people can do but also silences voices. I want more out of the weather portion. The KSL weather app isn’t sufficient either. The weather app on my phone gives the weather for the day better. If KSL did the weather for the day on an hourly basis for different areas, but also gave expected quantities of precipitation, severity of weather, expected UV index, as well as a visual map in relation to the data... well if it had that it would be the only weather plan I would use for Utah. I still like the app and I have hope they will continue to improve it.

Like the title says. Comments are silenced if anything against the Mormon church is mentioned. Seeing how this app and entire station is ultimately owned by the Mormon church I’m really not surprised. Everything has to have a tie into the Mormon church, mormon church news and Mormon church comments. Just because the Mormon church says something doesn’t mean it has to be front page. However, it does when the Mormon church owns KSL. News stories are biased. Free thought is discouraged in comments. They have their favorite Mormon commenters and their comments stay. Others like mine aren’t. Even if it’s not a Mormon related story. KSL needs to remember not everyone in Utah is Mormon. In fact, church numbers are falling like flies yet KSL still can’t be inclusive for everyone. If you don’t follow the sheep, KSL will ignore you. KSL is extremely corny and some of their stories are flat out unnecessarily written with terrible fact checking and fact gathering, however I know people have to justify their jobs The app itself is excellent. Easy to use and well thought out unlike their actual news stories. Absolutely any way they can tie the Mormon church into a news story, they will. It’s quite sad really. I’m switching to 2News as their app has gotten way better than it used to be and I’ll be uninstalling this biased, Mormon centric app today. Too bad, I’ve been using it for years but I can’t take mormon news anymore. I really don’t care.

The app itself is ok, however don't try to have a debate with anyone on the comment boards if your views aren't in line with the LDS church. The moderators are extremely biased and will not post your comments even if they conform to all the rules. But if your comments are pro LDS you can just toss the rules aside. I thought news outlets were supposed to be unbiased and against censorship. Edit- pretty sure there's at least 1 mod who just deletes my comments without even reading them because it happened twice today. They basically said that congress collecting a paycheck during a shutdown is a slap in the face of every American and both got deleted. I think one mod took offense to me saying Joseph Smith was a convicted con artist with some magic rocks. Anyone wanna wager that I'll get no developer response? Lol

The app is fine. The news on the other hand is bery biased on most stories regarding Trump. I usually skip those stories because I know it’ll just be a bash Trump session. Information is always left out that would show the actual truth. The titles of many of your stories (not just regarding Trump) are meant only to draw people in. They are sensationalized and don’t represent what you will actually read. The truth is, I only go to ksl news because it’s already on my phone. I try to stick to the local stories only although if you’re willing to lie (by omission) for some stories, they all probably lack the full truth.
