## Review summary

User feedback centers on stability and usability issues: the KRQE News app loads slowly or not at all, frequently freezes or crashes; it auto-plays videos with loud audio and has intrusive ads that interrupt reading. Some users still appreciate the local, up-to-date coverage and praise the on-air talent (notably Mark Ronchetti and Erica Meyer) and show general support for the station. Overall, reliability and ad/video behavior are the dominant concerns, while content quality gets mixed mentions.

### Pros

- Up-to-date, local news coverage with frequent updates
- Professional on-air talent and credible reporting (e.g., Mark Ronchetti and Erica Meyer)
- Positive general sentiment toward the station and its staff

### Cons

- Auto-playing videos with loud sound and no easy way to disable (or stop) while reading
- Excessive intrusive ads (full-screen splash ads, many ads per story, ads before videos)
- Frequent crashes, freezes, and the app sometimes won’t load or opens slowly
- Recent updates changed the UI and made the app harder to navigate or understand
