User Reviews

Most reviews center on ads, the new design, and the weather app split. Users complain about intrusive, auto-playing, full-screen ads (and even malicious links), a clunky redesign that hides content, and the move of weather to a separate app. Content quality concerns include clickbait and non-local headlines. Technical issues like freezing stories and Spanish language switches add to frustration. Overall, many prefer the previous version or a less ad-heavy, more integrated experience.

Pros

Cons

Intrusive ads: too many ad interruptions, including full-screen ads, autoplay videos that ignore the silent switch, and even ads with malicious links.
Poor new design/UX: the updated layout is harder to navigate, making it difficult to find items or access news quickly; many reviewers want the old version as an option.
Weather moved to a separate app: users dislike needing a second app for weather and feel the one-stop experience was lost.
Content quality concerns: headlines feel like clickbait, are not local, and reduce trust in the app's news coverage.
Stability and localization issues: stories can freeze while reading, and some users experience unexpected language changes (e.g., Spanish) or intermittent connectivity problems after updates.

There really needs to be Critical News, Local Breaking, and just News. Does a local crime in another state really need to be “Breaking News” for eastern NC? And Critical News should be local and just that. Important information that affects the health and wellbeing of the local (eastern NC) community.

Up-to-date, informative local news. Unfortunately, once you select a news story, you are forced to go back to the main page to go to the next story. There’s no way to swipe through to the next. Terrible feature. Go back to the previous version. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
