## Review summary

Users repeatedly cite major live-streaming problems after updates (login failures, broken streams, and inability to watch live). Beyond streaming, there are complaints about a clunky UI, unreliable content access (missing current/newscasts), and added branding changes. While some positives show up (free access, presence of headlines/video content, and acknowledgment of the on-air team), the recurring theme centers on reliability and usability issues that significantly impact morning-viewing routines.

### Pros

- Live streaming is a core feature of the app and is frequently referenced by users.
- The app provides headlines and other video content in addition to live video.
- The app is free to use, which some users value.

### Cons

- Live streaming is frequently broken or unavailable, with login failures after updates and general streaming errors preventing viewing.
- Updates have introduced bugs that degrade usability (e.g., login flow broken, video links not working).
- Users report missing or delayed current live content and limited access to earlier newscasts, reducing reliability for on-the-go viewing.
- The app is described as clunky, inefficient, and inconsistent in performance, leading to a poor user experience.
- Branding changes (Fox to Queen City News) frustrate some users and drive dissatisfaction with the app.
