## Review summary

Reviewers like WJCL for up-to-date local news and weather and praise its coverage and staff, calling it the best local news site. However, major complaints center on intrusive ads (video ads before stories and in notifications), unreliable loading and update problems (stories won't download, app crashes, data not appearing), navigation glitches (opening stories returns to home), and content quality issues (repeated old stories, mismatched images, typos). Some users still find it useful when functioning, but reliability and user experience are hindered by ads and outages.

### Pros

- Weather coverage is spot-on and includes stories other networks don't touch.
- Positive staff presence and engaging presentation.
- Helpful for staying informed away from TV; generally up-to-date when functioning.
- App is considered the best local news site in the area by several users.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and auto-playing video ads before stories, including loud ads in notifications.
- Reliability issues: data may not load, stories won't download, or the app won't open after updates.
- Navigation/UX glitches: tapping a story can revert to the home screen or the radar is hard to access.
- Content quality problems: repeated old stories, mismatched images, and typos.
- Weather updates can be delayed or outdated, with late weather alerts.
