User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the app for delivering timely, concise news and offering convenient 24/7 access on mobile. The primary drawback repeatedly mentioned is the advertising experience: loud ads and a paid option to remove them. Overall, users value information access and ease of use, with ads being the main area cited for improvement.

Pros

Timely, concise local, state, and national news updates.
Convenience of 24/7 mobile access to news, helping users stay informed without watching TV.

Cons

Ads are loud and intrusive, and there’s a paid option to remove ads.

Recent reviews

Every time I click on a notification it opens the app and automatically closes. Same thing happens when I click on the app. This has been going on forever!

The latest version seems to be running very smoothly. I would change the layout out the first page. Like simple Icons. News, Weather, Sports & Live buttons. Please add a send button so we can directly send a news story or weather pictures quickly.
