## Review summary

User reviews largely condemn the app for intrusive advertising and autoplay videos that launch on opening stories, making reading frustrating. The latest update is seen as less user-friendly, with navigation and readability issues. Additional complaints include broken sharing, unreliable search, content not loading, and persistent notification badges tied to ads. Overall sentiment is negative, with many users feeling the app prioritizes revenue over reliable local news delivery.

### Cons

- Autoplaying ads/videos start automatically when opening stories, disrupting reading
- Excessive, intrusive ads (pop-ups, loud ads, ads before content) that hinder use
- New update degrades usability and navigation (hard to navigate, smaller font)
- Ad-related features interfere with core functions (sharing links broken, search not working, content not always relevant to the story)
- Reliability and notification issues (app wont load at times; persistent notification badge)
