## Review summary

Reviews show a mixed signal: many users rely on NBC Montana for comprehensive local and national news and alerts, but the app suffers from stability issues (crashes, black screens), excessive ads, update-related breakage, device compatibility problems, and occasionally stale content.

### Pros

- Offers comprehensive local, national/world news plus weather and fire information in one app.
- Has alert/notification features to keep users informed of breaking news.
- Useful for travelers who want Montana news and national coverage while abroad.
- Often cited as a go-to source for quick local news.
- Positioned as NBC Montana's primary news app for staying informed.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, freezing, or the app failing to open after tapping stories (black screens, spinner).
- Overly heavy ads that load with articles and contribute to crashes and slow performance.
- Updates sometimes break the app (splash screen only or inability to open after updates; worst version).
- Poor device compatibility (landscape rotation not supported on iPad; some devices like iPhone X report issues).
- Content not updated frequently and sometimes shows old articles instead of recent news.
