User Reviews

User reviews largely criticize the app for intrusive, loud, and auto-playing ads that disrupt reading, along with persistent alerts and reliability issues after updates. Many feel the app is not user friendly and ad-heavy, sometimes blocking access to articles. A few users still like having WLOX's news in one app, but want a better experience, especially with mute options and smoother performance.

Pros

Provides local news and weather content in a single app.
Offers breaking news alerts to keep users informed.
Some users still like the app and find value in its news coverage.

Cons

Intrusive advertising: autoplay videos with sound and ads before or during articles.
Ads disrupt reading and there’s no reliable mute option.
Persistent notification badges/alerts are hard to clear.
App reliability problems after updates: crashes, not opening, and heavy memory/CPU usage.
Cluttered UI with ads degrading the reading experience and limited article loading.
