User Reviews

Users repeatedly report crashes/freezes and launch failures after updates, ads interrupting live coverage, and weather/location data problems. UI regressions (larger, cluttered fonts) and iOS 17 compatibility loops worsen usability. Positive notes focus on CBS17s weather coverage quality and the app as a source for local news, with some calling it quick and comprehensive.

Pros

Strong weather coverage/reporting (widely praised in multiple reviews)
CBS17 is viewed by some reviewers as a top local news source
Quick and complete coverage (noted by reviewers)

Cons

App crashes, freezes, or won open after updates (frequent launch failures)
Excessive advertising and long pre-rolls that interrupt live coverage
Weather/local page issues after updates (local weather page not loading or accurate location data)
UI/UX regressions after update (giant fonts, clutter, harder navigation)
Compatibility issues with iOS 17 and data-entry loops (initial data prompts repeatedly reappear)

Recent reviews

Give me a break. Why is it every time this app needs an update I can’t reach my local weather page until I update. This time, after updating, still can’t reach the page for local weather. Only Raleigh and surrounding towns pop up. Was the local page removed?
