## Review summary

Action News Jax is valued by some for timely weather coverage and as a go-to local news source, with mentions of professionalism. However, the dominant feedback is negative: heavy ads and auto-playing videos disrupt viewing, plus reliability problems (glitches, crashes, slow loads, hard-to-find live feeds). Content quality concerns include perceived bias and repetitive or under-covered stories, along with misspellings. Notifications and article links are often problematic, and some UX changes worsen the experience. Overall, a subset of users are satisfied, but many report a frustrating, ad-heavy app experience.

- UX issues after updates (background videos, navigation changes, ads in UI)
