User Reviews

Users praise the local Myrtle Beach/Horry County coverage and overall content presentation, but major frustration comes from heavy ads, frequent crashes, and stories/links failing to load. The new app UX is viewed as less usable than the old version, with sharing/navigation drawbacks. Weather reliability is also a concern, and some users must rely on another app for weather. Overall sentiment is negative with limited positive notes on content quality.

Pros

Local news coverage for Myrtle Beach and Horry County is valued by users.
The information and presentation of the app are appreciated by some users.
The app provides local breaking-news content that some users find informative.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads, including auto-playing videos and loud ad volume.
Frequent crashes and loading failures after updates (crashes on launch; app not loading).
Content loading issues where stories/links do not load or top stories won’t load.
Degraded usability with the new app design; harder to share or forward articles; preference for the old UI.
Weather features are unreliable or require a separate app; weather alerts can be irrelevant or disruptive.
