User Reviews

Most reviews focus on ad-heavy experiences, unstable live video, and a frustrating update that worsened readability and navigation. Users note content can be good, but the app frequently interrupts reading with ads, auto-playing videos, and unreliable livestreams. Sharing and navigation problems are common across reviews. The top requested fixes are fewer ads, stabilized live video, readable fonts, and restoration of smooth sharing/navigation.

Pros

News stories are generally good when accessible.
Interface updates are appreciated by some users.
Livestream/live news feature is available for on-the-go viewing.

Cons

Ads are intrusive and pervasive (pop-ups, footer ads, full-screen ads, ad fatigue).
Live stream and live news features are unreliable or frequently fail to load.
Readability and navigation deteriorated after updates (smaller fonts, harder to read, clumsy switching between local and national news, no swiping).
Autoplaying videos with sound and intrusive ads interrupt reading (videos start automatically, no easy mute/pause).
Sharing and other interactive features are broken (cannot share articles/links, issues with alerts, navigation limited).

This app is inaccurate especially when we receive notifications. Please work on this app so we can read in detail about the notifications sent to us . Someone in the new room spells certain words incorrectly which throws us off reading certain phrases. Mahalo
