User Reviews

Users praise the app for strong local-news content and its value, but repeatedly complain about intrusive ads, playback and reliability issues, login/connectivity errors, accessibility problems (small text), and unreliable weather/scheduling data.

Pros

Strong local news content presented well.
Informative and educational content.
App fills a long‑desired local-news niche and is viewed positively by users.

Cons

Intrusive, loud, and frequent ads (including pre-rolls) disrupt viewing.
Video playback and loading issues tied to ads, including pauses and black screens.
Sign-in or connectivity errors (no connection) affect access and use.
Accessibility problems, notably very small text that is hard to read for visually impaired users.
Scheduling/availability issues and unreliable weather data (timing and weather not consistently accessible).

Recent reviews

this app could use some major improvement every time I go to watch my local news. It will never start at the beginning. it normally starts at the end of the last broadcast or what’s available. it also sometimes starts in the middle in order to see it start. I have to watch several. advertisements then I try to start it at the beginning and it makes me watch advertisements. then it’ll go to the very end of the broadcast and make me watch more and more advertisements if I’m lucky enough, I’ll get to watch the latest local news broadcast but most of the time I’m not lucky enough to even be able to stream my local news.

Found this app and now able to watch Local News in Sacramento while living in San Francisco which wasn’t available to me before on any TV service in my area! Love it!!!
