User Reviews

The app is valued for local news access and credible reporting, including live Tucson coverage and headline alerts, but is hampered by intrusive ads, slow performance, and an overload of notifications with limited filtering. Persistent UI glitches (layout/orientation, sharing, alert management) and questions about content quality further dampen user experience. Overall, the local-focus and credibility are appreciated, but reliability and ad burden are major pain points.

Pros

Strong local news focus with Tucson coverage and local live broadcasts.
Perceived credibility and loyalty to the station's reporting.
Headlines/notifications help users stay updated with quick alerts.

Cons

Intrusive, excessive ads that disrupt watching stories and cause crashes.
Poor performance: slow loading, buffering, and frequent freezes.
Too many non-local notifications and lack of filtering for local vs. national news.
UI/UX issues: can't delete alerts, share stories, landscape mode resets, and swiping issues; general instability.

Recent reviews

This application is horrible. Glitches and hard to use.

can't find a way to delete alerts.

Used to be a good source for local news. However, the "stories" available often contain a lack of information about which they're "reporting." Plus, one can't get to a story without having to deal with an advert first.
