## Review summary

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.
