User Reviews

Users mainly report technical problems (crashes/lockups) and heavy ads that hinder use, along with unreliable alerts. Many reviews fault the app for prioritizing non-local content over Parkersburg/local news, and for bias concerns. A smaller group still values the app for local updates, but overall sentiment is negative due to stability, ad burden, and coverage issues.
Pros
  • Provides local/Mid-Ohio Valley news updates
  • Useful for staying informed about local events
  • Some users appreciate that the app serves as a local news source
Cons
  • App crashes or causes device to reboot after updates
  • Ads lock up the app or block access to stories
  • Push notifications are unreliable: not all alerts are delivered and some are repeated
  • Local coverage is perceived as biased toward non-Parkersburg areas and less focus on Parkersburg

Your new app is terrible! Everyone that I know says the same thing! Who thought this was an improvement?

When I land on this add in the App it locks up my iPad. Then I need to shut the iPad down to get out of the add.

Since the new update in March, the red alert flag is on constantly! I tap it and there is no NEW news. How do you fix that?
