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.
24/7 updates focused on safety and staying informed.

Cons

Excessive/unwanted push notifications for non-breaking news.
Frequent app crashes and navigation issues that return you to the home screen.
Ad-heavy experience with long ads before videos and ads while browsing.
