## Review summary

User reviews largely cite the WBRC 6 News iOS app as plagued by excessive, loud ads and intrusive ad gating that interrupts reading and navigation. Many users report difficult navigation and a clunky new layout, along with notification bugs and reminders that push ads before content. A smaller subset express concerns about perceived bias in reporting. Despite those issues, some users still value headline/breaking news notifications and quick access to current local news when the app works.

### Pros

- Headline/breaking news notifications are valued by users.
- Periodic news alerts are appreciated.
- When the app functions, it provides quick access to current local news stories.
- Users rely on the app as a source for local WBRC news updates via notifications.

### Cons

- Ads are excessive, intrusive, and loud, including full-page and autoplay ads with no easy opt-out or mute options.
- Navigation and layout are difficult to use; users report trouble finding stories and poor search functionality in the new design.
- Notification experience is cluttered by ads and gating, with headlines that require opening the app and multiple ad interactions to dismiss.
- Perceived bias in reporting and neutrality concerns about the station's coverage.
