## Review summary

Overall, reviewers praise East Idaho News for Nate Eaton’s approachable, thorough local reporting—especially on the Lori Daybell trial—and for a strong Idaho focus with a healthy mix of hard news and light features. The app’s layout is well-liked and considered trustworthy. Common drawbacks center on notification management (excessive alerts, preference issues) and occasional bugs affecting articles after alerts, plus navigation quirks around local stories. Addressing these could further enhance an already strong local journalism app.

### Pros

- In-depth, ongoing coverage of local stories (notably the Lori Vallow Daybell trial) with Courtroom Insider updates that readers feel fully informed.
- Nate Eaton and his team provide a personable, neighborly reporting style that creates a trustworthy, engaging connection with readers.
- Strong local Idaho focus with thorough, accurate reporting that readers rely on for East Idaho news.
- A balanced mix of hard news and positive features (Good News Friday, Emmy’s questions, Santa videos) that add variety without sacrificing serious coverage.
- User-friendly app layout and readability, with updates that readers view as current and dependable.

### Cons

- Push notifications are intrusive and often ignore user preferences (too many alerts even when zero notifications are set, including Daybell-case alerts).
- Local-story navigation can be hard to find or prioritize correctly (users want local stories surfaced earlier rather than obituaries-first).
- App bugs related to notifications (alerts leading to articles that are not found or quickly expire) disrupt the reading experience.
