User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's comprehensive local news coverage and prompt notifications. However, many are frustrated that clicking notifications does not lead directly to the specific article, often redirecting to ads or the homepage. Excessive advertising and app crashes detract from the experience. Additionally, there is a desire for easier access to past news and functional live video. While customer service is praised, technical and usability issues limit satisfaction.

Pros

Good coverage of current local news with consistent breaking news updates
Notifications allow quick access to news stories or at least prompt interest
App is generally stable with no freezing reported by some users
Friendly customer service and employees
No intrusive pop-up advertisements in some experiences

Cons

Notifications often lead to homepage or ads, not the specific article, causing user frustration
Excessive advertisements interfering with the user experience
Technical issues such as app crashes, unreliable programming, outdated stories in alerts
Lack of ability to easily access prior days' news or get a daily summary, unlike TV news
Live video feature not working after last update

3/2024 I've switched from HNN to Island News mobile app for a few reasons. The main reason is I can go straight to the story from the notification in a couple of steps. That wasn't the case on HNN. The other reason is the topics that are covered, less drama, and somewhat of a more across the board, even keeled reporting on news. So far, so good. ✌️

Looking for options to replace my cable TV news. I usually record my news to watch later and can't seem to find a way to easily select prior days news on this app. This app requires me to select specific topics that I would like to see, which can be convenient, but I would rather see a summary of the days news, just like the TV. This is an option that's available online through my computer, but doesn't appear available on this app.
