User Reviews

Users praise the app for strong, up-to-date local Boston news and professional reporting, but repeatedly complain about notification overload (especially sports) and intrusive video ads that interrupt reading. Some reviews also note occasional delays in real-time updates. Overall, it’s valued for quality journalism and accessibility, but needs better notification controls and smoother video/reading experiences.

Pros

Consistently up-to-date local Boston news coverage.
Professional, fair and knowledgeable local journalism.
Strong local focus and trusted reporting among viewers.
Good option for cord-cutters; accessible on mobile and streaming devices.

Cons

Overbearing push notifications, especially sports alerts, with requests for customizable settings.
Forced video ads/breaking videos when opening alerts, sometimes not playing.
Occasional delays in real-time updates compared with other outlets.

Recent reviews

I have had this app for years and years, but lately the notifications about the Patriots are becoming too much. I get it, they’re headed to the Super Bowl and it’s exciting, but I have this app for breaking news. Not to follow a sports team. Maybe the developers should consider adding preferences to the settings so we can decide what we want notifications for.

Hey 7 developers…stop forcing videos down my throat. All I want to do is click on the stupid alert and read the stupid article. Stop bringing me to breaking videos that don’t play. Not everything is a breaking video.
