## Review summary

Users praise WCTI News Channel 12 for live streaming, a reliable radar weather tool, timely breaking-news notifications, ease of use, and trustworthy local reporting. However, multiple reviews cite compatibility and UX problems: the iPad app locks to portrait mode, ads can overwhelm the experience, video playback often has no audio, some articles load with black boxes or missing images, and the app can feel slow after updates or experience lag. The app remains a solid local-news hub despite these issues, with strong weather features and dependable content.

- Radar weather feature is reliable and accurate.
- Push notifications for breaking news.

### Cons

- Ad overload; excessive ads interrupt the reading experience.
- No audio on video playback.
- Some articles load with black screens or missing images (content display issues).
- Performance lag or slow loading after updates.
