User Reviews

User reviews show strong local news coverage when the app works, but widespread issues with ads, performance, and notifications dominate sentiment. Top concerns are intrusive ads; crashes and slow loading; broken or unresponsive alerts; and forced updates that worsen usability. A few reviews praise content quality and accessibility, but stability, ad management, and reliable notifications are the primary areas needing improvement.

Pros

Strong, up-to-date local news coverage.
Accessible local news, even when traveling away from home.
Solid news content when the app functions properly.

Cons

Excessive intrusive ads and pop-ups that interrupt reading.
Crashes, freezes, and slow loading during use.
Alerts/notifications bugs, including persistent badges and non-working links.
Forced/update regressions that degrade usability and navigation.

November 2023 Update: The app continues to be more annoying than useful. You can now click on the alerts, but only from one particular screen in the app. If you’re in a different section, you have no access. And why does the app need to take over my sound any time I open it? I can read the poorly-written articles while my other apps are playing something. How does one continue to make the app worse with every update. Now when I have a notification, I can’t click on the “Alerts” section at the top of the screen. It just won’t respond. Must be nice being the only game in town.
