User Reviews

Overall, reviews split between praise for readability and responsiveness and frustration with navigation, notifications, and reliability. Users like the larger, easier-to-read text and the improved appearance, and some say the app is an important source for news. Criticism centers on the redesign making it hard to locate stories, intrusive and hard-to-control notifications, occasional blank screens or loading failures, and gaps in local content (weekends and local sports). A few note follow-up/search issues and permission limits.

Pros

Redesign improves readability with larger, easier-to-read text and a more responsive appearance.
App looks visually appealing and feels more usable for some users.
For some users, the app remains an important source for getting local news.

Cons

Navigation/findability is worsened by the redesign, making it hard to locate stories.
Obtrusive notifications with a persistent badge and limited user controls are problematic.
Occasional blank screens or loading failures impact reliability.
Content/update gaps in local coverage (e.g., limited local sports, weekend updates) and difficulty following up on stories.

Recent reviews

I wasn’t a huge fan of the former app, but I’d love to have it back! This redesign is awful. Not visually appealing at all. Hard to locate things. Unnecessary filler content. And the red notification badge that never dies!! Boo, hiss.
