## Review summary

The WOWT First Alert 6 News Omaha app is plagued by intrusive ads, autoplay audio, and frequent crashes after updates, making it hard to use. Sharing stories often fails, navigation feels broken or less intuitive, and the weather feature now forces users to rely on a separate app. Some reviewers note the app was previously reliable and are open to adapting to changes, but the overall sentiment is frustration with the update.

### Pros

- Provides local news coverage (core function of the app).
- Was perceived as reliable and relatively stable prior to the latest update.
- Some users express willingness to adapt to the new layout.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and auto-playing videos with loud sound that cannot be muted.
- Frequent crashes and loading issues after updates.
- Share functionality (share icon/links) often not working.
- Poor navigation/UX after the update (clunky UI, missing features, harder to navigate).
- Weather information is hard to view in the app or requires installing a separate weather app.
