User Reviews

Most reviews are negative. Users report frequent crashes and freezes on iOS, often with black screens. Advertisements dominate the experience, causing constant reloads, page jumps, and long ad videos that disrupt reading. Live video features are unreliable or removed, with streaming issues and Roku casting problems. Reading is hampered by unreadable or incomplete articles, misfiring links, and missing search. Push notifications don't reliably link to stories, and overall performance remains slow after updates.

Pros

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, or black screens make the app unusable.
Ad-heavy experience with constant reloads, page jumps, and long ads disrupting reading.
Live video issues: live option missing or unreliable, and Roku casting not working.
Reading issues: unreadable/incomplete articles and links that don't open correctly.
Notifications don't link to the correct story, and search is missing or ineffective.

Recent reviews

If you are looking to read local news then look somewhere else. It is not possible to read a full short article. Constant reloading (for ad content) makes the article jump back and forth to random spots in the article so the majority of the time is spent trying to scroll it back to where you were in the article. To make matters worse it will always crash several times during these reloads.
