## Review summary

Many reviewers praise the app for credible news delivery by Channel 10 and its past usefulness for emergency information, with some viewing it as a strong local news source. However, the consensus across reviews is negative toward the current version: intrusive, long ads (including auto-play and banners), a cluttered UI with small font, and difficult navigation. Users also complain about too many push notifications and poor control, plus perceived liberal bias in coverage. A common wish is to revert to the old app or restore features that made it easy to reach news quickly.

### Pros

- Credible, well-delivered news content by the Channel 10 team.
- Past usefulness for emergency information.
- Consolidates local news in one app.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads disrupt reading (long ads, auto-playing audio, banners covering content).
- Cluttered UI with small font; hard to read and navigate.
- Too many push notifications and poor control (duplicates).
- Perceived liberal bias in coverage and leaning toward left-leaning sources.
- Users prefer the old app; the new update feels like a downgrade and makes access harder.
