## Review summary

Users appreciate 3340 News for timely local and national coverage and long-standing trust, but repeatedly cite stability and notification flaws: too many alerts, notifications not linking to the intended articles, and frequent app crashes. The live stream feature is often unreliable, and ads during emergency broadcasts add frustration. Improvements in stability, notification controls, and reliable linking to articles would significantly boost the app’s usefulness.

### Pros

- Keeps users up to date with local and national news, serving as a reliable mobile news source.
- Trusted over many years with fair, unbiased reporting.
- Convenient when you can't watch the TV news, providing on-the-go updates.

### Cons

- Push notifications are excessive and difficult to customize.
- Clicking a notification often does not open the matching article, instead returning to the home screen or Explore menu.
- The app frequently crashes, freezes, or won’t open after updates (white screen/launch issues).
- Live/streaming coverage is unreliable or missing in the Watch/Live sections.
- Advertisements during emergencies can be intrusive.
