User Reviews

User reviews show a split: some appreciate the interface and programming, but reliability and content freshness dominate. Many report crashes (including startup), stories/feeds failing to load, and stale content not updated regularly. Ads and push notifications are disruptive. A subset prefers the old app version. The app has potential, but without stability, reliable content loading, and fewer interruptions, it struggles to meet most users' expectations.

Pros

App generally works with no major issues.
Pretty good interface.
Positive programming/station content.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability (startup crashes).
Content often fails to load or shows empty articles.
News feeds and content become stale/not updated regularly.
Excessive ads and push notifications.
New app version is worse than the old one; the old app was better.

Shows headlines but no text in stories only black boxes and ads.

I love the station and the program. However the apps very glitchy and crashes a lot. It won’t load videos and has me watch many ads before failing to load videos.
