## Review summary

Overall, reviews are mixed. Users praise ease of use, weather integration, and cleaner visuals, plus local/top stories on launch. However, many complain that local news is hard to access or downplayed, updates are infrequent, and ads disrupt the experience. Readability issues and a sense that the app is a setback compared to older versions are also common. To improve sentiment, focus on robust local coverage, more frequent updates, less intrusive ads, and a clear, readable local-news-first layout.

### Pros

- Easy to use and well put together
- Weather app from KRTV is a nice addition
- Local and state top stories appear on opening and the design is more visually attractive
- Layout is cleaner and more accessible
- Good for on-the-go news and staying connected locally

### Cons

- Local news is hard to find and often overshadowed by national content
- Not updated frequently enough; users want all-day updates
- Ads are intrusive and of low quality
- Headlines are short and unreadable and local stories can be unreadable
- Overall UX feels like a setback from older versions and can be messy
