KMBC 9 News for Pc

I’ve been a loyal viewer of the app’s news for many years. I also have anxiety over tornadoes (been through a few too many LOL). When I got my first iPhone, I got the app’s Weather app. It was AWESOME!!!!!! I only want the current weather info...I watch the News on TV. I was really bummed when you dumped the weather app!!! I’ve tried to adapt to using the news app, but frankly, I HATE it!!!! The most irritating thing about this app is that it won’t let me choose what alert notifications I want to receive! The ONLY alerts I want are Severe T-storm and Tornado. But your app doesn’t think that’s enough. About once a week, it sends me a notification to remind me to turn on notifications!!!! And some of those have come before 8 am !!!! When I open the app to see a summary of the forecast, all I can do is watch the forecast from hours before or see the current temp & precipitation. I am able to view radar on your app, and I DO like that. But to be honest, I’ve been searching for an app like your old weather app. I hate the other TV stations apps. Channel 5’s is ok, other than sending several alerts daily, basically just annoying chit chat! The Weather Cannel’s app shows current conditions and long range forecast, but no severe weather info or radar. So, currently I am using THREE apps and only getting SOME of the info I want. PLEASE, the app, bring back the weather app!!!!

It appears to me that several of your stories are posted for prolonged periods of time, some instances for months! I do read this venue for my local news daily; sometimes more than once daily depending on local happenings. There seems to be numerous articles that are on line for very long periods of time. I personally would prefer to see new information or a limited number of offerings rather than seeing the same tired information for several weeks/months. Thank you for the good information that is current and new—I find most articles clear, concise and accurate. I also have difficulty with the NFM ads——THEY ARE WAY TOO LOUD!!! Please work to control this issue, it is very irritating!!!!!!

I appreciate the breaking news notifications but sometimes I get a notification that I can’t read quick enough. When I go to the app to see what the breaking news is, it’s usually not there. Seems to be a delay that maybe could be fixed.

You need to update your website through the day more. Put new news ahead of old stories up to two weeks if not more prior. Put local first and national second and then do the other odd stories. I liked the old weather radar better. The newest one does up to the minute but doesn’t show incoming and going. It’s frustrating to have to go through old stories and events from weeks ago before the more important ones. Also, your coverage of the recent snow storm was minimal and it probably was due to the fact it was a weekend. You were my 1st to go to for weather. But, it seems other than tornadoes you have become pretty lackluster about weather. Love Nick and Neville.
