## Review summary

Across reviews, users cite reliability issues, ad-heavy experience, notification controls, and perceived bias as the main problems with the WCTV Eyewitness News app. Many report crashes, long load times, and frequent ads that disrupt use, along with difficulty disabling notifications and a cluttered UI with small text. A minority still value local news access, but overall sentiment is negative due to performance and UX issues.

### Cons

- Intrusive advertising with no volume control and high ad frequency.
- App reliability is poor; crashes, freezes, and sometimes won't load.
- Push notifications cannot be easily disabled and can trigger loud sounds.
- Perceived bias and lack of balanced reporting; heavy commercial emphasis.
- Poor readability and user interface; small text and multiple introductory weather screens.
