User Reviews

Users praise the app for timely local news and weather alerts that help them stay connected to home, often daily and sometimes more informative than rivals. However, persistent ad overload, glitches, slow or stale content updates, and concerns about editorial quality and a cluttered UI regularly surface, impacting usability and trust. Overall value is recognized, but performance and content freshness improvements are needed.

Pros

Provides local news and weather updates with alerts, helping users stay connected to their hometown even when away.
Daily usability for weather and local news; many users report relying on it regularly.
Often perceived as more informative about local happenings than some rivals (strong local coverage in Plattsburgh/Rutland area).
Keeps family and friends in Plattsburgh or surrounding areas up-to-date with local news.

Cons

Excessive advertising and ad bombardment (long ad waits, 30-second ads per article, repeated ads) that disrupt browsing and viewing.
Frequent glitches and instability (app won’t open, freezes, scrolling jumps back to the top, crashes when tapping notifications).
Content freshness issues (stories that are outdated or slow to update, missing relevant local stories).
Editorial quality concerns (spelling/grammar errors, sensationalized or biased reporting).
Busy user interface and navigation problems (hard to locate content; limited casting/TV options; some location search issues).
