User Reviews

Users appreciate the app as a source for local news and weather in Central Texas. However, many criticize its frequent crashes, slow loading, and inability to share stories on Android. The automatic autoplay of videos with sound frustrates users without an option to turn it off. Navigation problems and intrusive ads further diminish usability, leading some users to consider alternative news apps.

Pros

Provides local news for the Central Texas/Killeen area, which users find useful.
Offers weather updates and forecasts for local weather conditions.
Includes video segments related to news and weather content.

Cons

App is frequently slow to load, crashes, or freezes, causing poor user experience.
Unable to share or forward news stories from the app, especially on Android devices.
Autoplaying videos with sound start automatically, which users find annoying and disruptive, with no option to disable.
Navigation issues where reading an article and going back resets to the top of the story list, making browsing inconvenient.
Ads interrupt app usage significantly, sometimes covering the entire screen or causing the app not to load properly.

Recent reviews

Horrible after the most recent update.

Replay of local news has recently stopped. Only reason I use is to watch replay of news cast. Guess I won't be using anymore. 😠.

Too many ads! This app was great until the recent update. It looks like someone who has no design experience created it. The layout is hard on the eyes and you can't tell a news article from an ad. Go to open the app and it has obnoxious ads that you have to wait to exit out of. If you minimize the app and go back to it, another ad pops up and have to wait for the x to close it again.
