User Reviews

Users praise the app for timely local news, weather, and concise summaries, plus credible anchors and reliable on-the-go access. However, frustration runs high over crashes, stale content, heavy ad(load) and limited notification controls. Some report login issues and iOS compatibility concerns. Overall sentiment is mixed: the app can be a strong local-news source when functioning, but reliability and ad/notification handling need attention.

Pros

Keeps you up-to-date with local news and weather
Provides informative daily summaries and digest features for quick reading
Trusted local anchor presence (Steve Weagle) adds credibility and appeal
Reliable on-the-go access; useful when traveling or unable to watch live
App updates have made the experience smoother and more usable

Cons

Crashes on launch or during login; app closes and returns to home screen
Content not refreshing; same stories shown for days
Excessive, repetitive ads and long ad loops; ad-heavy experience
Inadequate notification controls; desire to filter political or other alerts
Some users report login issues with the app and occasional iOS compatibility/battery concerns

Stop forcing the bs, we should have more control over what notifications we receive. I don’t want political updates, give me an option to filter out what I don’t want in “news”
