## Review summary

Overall, WMAR 2 News Baltimore’s app is praised for ease of use, informative local coverage, and credible anchors, but widespread ads, reduced local content/features, and update-related usability issues are common criticisms.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a well-organized, intuitive navigation.
- Informative and up-to-date local news with national coverage and videos.
- Credible, engaging anchors who explain the news.
- Strong visuals and fast performance (large images, easy to browse).
- Keeps you connected to Baltimore across devices (TV, web, mobile).

### Cons

- Ads are excessive and intrusive, including auto-playing audio and paid removal options.
- Local focus can be lacking; top stories aren’t always local and some features (traffic) have been removed.
- Updates/UI changes hurt usability and streaming (live streaming sometimes requires using the website).
- Content quality issues: repeated stories, shallow context, and occasional typos or miscaptioned images.
- Privacy concerns: location services left on and gating surveys to access content.
