User Reviews

Many reviews express frustration with the iOS app’s reliability and UX. Recurrent problems include notifications failing to open the exact story, misdirected article links, and frequent freezes or crashes. Additional concerns include perceived political bias, stale headlines, and excessive weather content. A minority praise the app for timely updates and relatively easy navigation, but overall sentiment is negative with a clear call for stability and improved UX.

Pros

Timely and comprehensive updates across local, state, and national news.
Easy to manage and navigate.
Decent local news coverage.

Cons

Notifications often don’t link to the specific article and instead open the home page, forcing manual search.
Frequent performance issues including freezes/crashes.
Article links frequently point to the wrong topic or unrelated content.
Perceived political bias or censorship in coverage.
Content freshness issues and heavy emphasis on weather, with older headlines and repetitive weather content.

Recent reviews

A storm in the gulf and you can’t be bothered to update the weather on the app. Took over 12 hours yesterday to get a weather update and it’s over four hours old now. What is the point of having the app?
