Users appreciate timely local updates, clear headlines, friendly staff, and reliable notifications. However, the app is plagued by freezes and glitches, intrusive ads, and a weather section that users feel is inferior to the old app. Navigation is often a pain, and some users perceive bias in coverage. Overall, the app delivers information well but needs improvements in performance, advertising experience, and weather usability.

Cons

Heavy ads and pop-ups that interrupt reading/watching
Weather section is hard to use or not as good as the old app

Having come from another state, I knew I would have to get to know the people/ who come into my house everyday. I'm glad to welcome ya'll! We will do this journey of life together. Thank you for keeping us safe, but keeping us informed.

The old app was used friendly and useful! This new app takes forever to see the weather as you have to jump through hoops to get there. The radar itself is fine, though I feel it is no where near as good as the old one. Seems that they’re so desperate to share news of little importance as opposed to true weather. Make a separate app for weather like before please.
