## Review summary

Users generally value WCAX for local/national news and weather, plus push notifications and brand trust. However, the app is repeatedly criticized for ad-heavy, intrusive experiences (including loud auto-play ads), a worsened, cluttered design with tiny fonts, and performance glitches. These issues impair readability, navigation, and video viewing, leading many to consider switching sources until fixes improve usability.

### Pros

- Access to local and national news and weather within the app.
- Push notifications for local news.
- Familiar WCAX brand for local news.

### Cons

- Excessive, intrusive ads that interrupt reading, including auto-playing sounds.
- Update introduced a cluttered layout with tiny fonts, hurting readability and navigation.
- Performance issues: bugs, slow loading, and an ad-heavy interface.
- Ads interfere with video playback (ads before/after segments, distracting).
- Some ads are offensive or inappropriate and resemble clickbait.
