User Reviews

The app is valued for timely, trustworthy reporting and strong weather coverage, reflecting decades of local service. However, users repeatedly cite notification overload, stability/navigation issues, and an ad-heavy experience that interrupts reading and viewing. The most mentioned points are the ability to stay informed with current reporting, tempered by frustrations with alerts, crashes, and ads, signaling a need for improved stability, fewer intrusive notifications, and lighter advertising while preserving up-to-date content.
Pros
  • Timely, up-to-date local and world news coverage.
  • Trusted, long-standing local brand with decades of service in the Tri-State area.
  • Strong weather coverage; considered the best weather app.
  • Reliable morning briefing for overnight developments.

Cons
  • Excessive/unwanted push notifications for non-breaking news.
