So here's my take on KATU News Mobile - I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one is pretty solid overall. The live streaming and breaking news alerts are super useful, and the weather forecasts and traffic info are a nice bonus. The redesigned interface is clean and easy to use, which is a big plus. And on the downside, the constant ads can get old if you don't pay, and the app does feel a little cluttered with all the different sections. But those are fairly minor issues. If you're looking for a one-stop news and weather app, this is definitely worth considering.

Description

Been using the KATU News Mobile app for a couple months now. It’s basically an all-in-one news app that gives you the latest local and national stories, weather forecasts, and traffic updates. Pretty solid if you wanna stay on top of what’s going on.

There’s a bunch of features packed in – you can watch live newscasts, get breaking news alerts, check hourly and daily weather forecasts, and even see the live radar. It’s got a really slick new design that’s fast and easy to navigate. Took me a little while to figure out all the different sections but it’s pretty intuitive overall.

Look, if you’re into staying informed on the go, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying if you don’t pay – but it does a great job of giving you the news and info you need. Worth checking out for sure.
