User Reviews

The app is valued for timely local news and current weather, with many loyal viewers. However, the main issues are intrusive ads that slow or block content, stability problems (crashes/freezes) after updates, and unreliable live video access or navigation bugs. Improving stability and reducing intrusive ads would greatly enhance usability.

Content helps users stay connected, especially when away from home.

Cons

Excessive ads and long ad loads interrupting content (including opening ads and ads during emergencies).
Frequent crashes/freezes after updates, making the app unusable for some users.
Buggy live video access and unclickable/unclear 'LIVE' links in the app.
Update-related issues blocking access (e.g., location screen problems).
UX delays caused by opening full-page ads (slowing content consumption).
