## Review summary

User feedback is mixed. Many praise the weather coverage and reliance on NBC LA for local news when the app works. However, multiple reviews cite regressions after updates: iPad rotation to landscape is broken, navigation feels cluttered, and stories are hard to close. Persistent issues include intrusive pre-roll ads before videos, Olympics alerts that can’t be disabled, and video playback that freezes or gets stuck, sometimes forcing reinstalls. Overall, content is valued when functioning, but stability and UX need improvement.

### Pros

- Strong weather coverage with clear and well-presented updates.
- Reliable access to local NBC LA news updates for users who depend on it.
- Regular updates bring enhancements, including improvements to weather features.
- Overall, it is a solid local news app for those who can use it without issues.

### Cons

- iPad landscape rotation is broken after updates; app remains in portrait and does not switch to landscape.
- Intrusive pre-roll ads (up to 30 seconds) before video disrupt access to urgent updates.
- Olympics alerts are unwanted and cannot be disabled or easily turned off.
- Video/live feed frequently freezes or gets stuck and cannot be closed, sometimes requiring a reinstall.
- Post-update navigation and UX feel cluttered and harder to use, making it difficult to close stories.
