User Reviews

Common threads: users criticize the redesign for ad-heavy, cluttered UI, broken navigation, and video playback problems, plus weather coverage degraded (no detailed forecast). Content quality concerns include stale/duplicated stories and reduced local news. On the upside, reviewers note the app still offers live video streaming, fast native mobile performance, and usable weather maps/forecast.

Pros

Live video/news streaming is available (watching live broadcasts).
Fast, native mobile performance.
Weather maps and TV forecast are an appreciated feature.

Cons

Intrusive ads and ad-heavy experience interrupting content.
Difficult navigation and a non-intuitive layout after updates (lost back button, harder to return to the home screen).
Video playback problems and ads interfering; long-form videos replaced with clips.
Weather section lacks detail (no daily low temps; replaced with a short summary).
Stale/duplicated stories and reduced emphasis on local news.
