## Review summary

Users say News 12 Mobile is useful and easy to navigate, with good local weather info, but reliability is a major problem. The app frequently crashes or won’t open, especially after updates. Ad-heavy feedback includes popups and scary-looking antivirus prompts that redirect to web pages. Content is often not current and videos may not play, undermining timely news access. These stability and content issues overshadow the app’s value, though some users have temporarily mitigated problems by reinstalling.

### Pros

- Useful for checking local weather information.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and the app often won’t open after updates.
- Aggressive ads and popups that redirect to web pages and resemble malware (antivirus prompts).
- Content is not consistently current; many stories appear outdated and some videos won't play.
- Some users experience forced browser redirects and other reliability issues after updates.
- Limited tablet compatibility (portrait-only view).
