KHON2 News - Honolulu HI News App Reviews

After update, the app is very glitchy when scrolling

Still is not compatible with iOS 9. When you try to scroll down in the articles it causes the articles to jump up and down. Thus not allowing you to read the bottom of the article. Find another news app. Also it not my devices. It also happens on my 5s, 6+ and 6s all on 9.0.2

Ive noticed that all the apps I use that seemingly use the same format have the extremely annoying scrolling bug. So annoying, I give up & go somewhere else for my info.

Most irritating Domino Pizza pop up ad each time a news item is opened or close

When Trying to open an article those ads popup and I end up opening that instead. Please do something about it. Scrolling is annoying since the ios update. Not able to read entire article without getting motion sickness.

Love KHON but this application is a joke. Always glitches while scrolling through news articles, Dominos ad will pop up every time you switch between articles, and trying to go back to home page is beyond frustrating.

Just re-iterating what was already been posted. When scrolling down an article, the app does a skipping/shifting action where I can no longer read the rest of the article! I just end up reading the article on another news app that doesnt do this. (HNN, Star Advertiser)

Echoing another reviewer, when you scroll down to get to the end of the article, the app will jump up & down; very very frustrating

This app does not work. When trying to scroll, it flickers up and down and does not scroll correctly. Please fix this issue immediately

I recently was so fed up with the KITV app that I downloaded this one and deleted KITV, once and for all. Great move. Very smart layout. Easy to select weather, a video, live stream of the news, etc. The stories seem pretty up to date. Yes, there are some ads, but theyre much less obtrusive than on other apps. This was well designed. The KITV folks should take notes on how to design an app that works and is easy to navigate.

Love KHON and this app.

The live stream works 1/10 times. The rest of the time, its yesterdays broadcast, "Embargoed Content" or even Judge Judy!!! Definitely needs to be fixed...

I love KHON news. That said, the latest update has made this app excruciating to use. 1. It takes no less than 2-3 minutes to load past the white screen, then no less than 2-4 minutes to fetch the stories. (I do have fast internet, and all my other apps load very quickly. So its not the ISP.). Then sometimes even longer for a particular story to load. 2. Another major problem is the way the stories eventually display on the screen. The story itself is displayed on only about 1/3 - 1/4 of the screen. The rest is taken up with the apps banners and advertising. This makes it very difficult to read-even on my iPhone 6 Plus. The story will eventually utilize a larger footprint, (about 60% of the screen), but its not consistent. It will continuously bounce back & forth between the larger screen & the micro screen, until you are too dizzy to continue reading any more. It requires constant scrolling to find your place as the story continues to bounce back and forth. 3. The screen freezes. This happens regularly. You cannot scroll through the story, nor even close the app. The only way to get out of it is to completely turn off the phone. All of these issues make this a very sorry excuse for an app. Please fix it! This used to be one of my favorite news apps. The news content is great, if you can get all the way through a story, but the app is now horrible.

Cant do anything in the app. Had to close and open the app to get it to reload. Then the app just froze completely. Only thing worked was to close it. iOS 9.2.1

Dont plan on watching any video on this app except live streaming. Any news story with video will play a 15second commercial (every single one), but then youll never actually see the video you wanted, playing. It just goes black. And since Im on the advertising subject, youll be bombarded with a Dominos ad whenever the app starts, and careful scrolling a news story as you read it because the ads will launch if you so much as come near them with your finger as you try to scroll. This app definitely has some bugs... And ads. Starting to wonder why I switched away from the other local news app.
