User Reviews

Most reviews cite ad overload, intrusive or miscategorized notifications, and autoplay video as major pain points, along with reliability issues like crashes and long load times after updates. A minority still appreciates the local-news value and access to past broadcasts, but overall satisfaction is dampened by usability and performance problems.
Pros
  • Valued local community news coverage.
  • Useful for non-cable viewers to catch local updates.
  • Past broadcasts accessible via Zeam can be helpful.
Cons
  • Excessive ads and ad-supported content dominate the feed.
  • Autoplay videos with no option to disable.
  • Push notifications are too frequent and hard to control.
  • App often crashes or takes a long time to load after updates.
  • Recent updates are poorly received; UI changes disliked; dark mode requested.

I might give it a better review if the notification number on the badge (iOS) ever went away, or if you would pay attention to the reviews before me saying the same thing. Apparently “Gray” isn’t just the title of the media company. It also describes the area of experience the app developer has with knowing the audience.

The new update and change is trash. Glitchy scrolling and notification (red dot) won’t go away even after deleting and redownloading. Kinda trashy but par for Topeka?

So many advertisements. Trying to clear the notification on the app and no matter where I go it still has a 1 showing I have a notification. It’s annoying!!!!
