## Review summary

Reviews show the app is valued for local Channel 3 news coverage, with some users regularly using it for daily news and Rock County reporting. However, widespread issues undercut the experience: heavy ad load and intrusive pop-ups, disruptive Watch Live prompts and misdirected notifications, unstable scrolling with reloading and jumping back to the top, and features like weather radar not loading. Duplicated stories and unreadable obituaries, along with general performance slowdowns, lead many users to consider deleting or switching to alternatives. Overall, the app delivers content but usability is severely hampered by ads and UI glitches.

### Pros

- Some reviewers report using the app daily to watch Channel 3 News and rely on its coverage.
- Local coverage is valued, with users noting Rock County reporting is well-covered.

### Cons

- Ads and pop-ups interrupt reading; heavy ad load and video ads.
- Watch Live prompts disrupt reading and notifications misroute to live video instead of the article.
- Unstable scrolling with pages reloading or jumping back to the top.
- Weather radar not loading and overall performance is slow after updates.
- Duplicated stories and readability issues in obits/grammar; general content readability concerns.
