## Review summary

Most reviews focus on ad saturation, flaky live streams, and reliability issues that degrade the experience. While some users value local coverage and trust KHQ, frequent buffering, slow loads, poor navigation, and stale content undermine usefulness. Improvements in performance, ad handling, navigation, and content freshness would address the main user pain points.

### Pros

- Provides access to local news and timely community information to stay informed about crime, weather and events.
- Live video streaming is useful for watching news events on the go.
- Brand loyalty and trust in KHQ, with users preferring its app as a local news source.

### Cons

- Excessive ads and sponsored content interrupt the reading/viewing experience.
- Unreliable live streaming and outdated video content (buffering, wrong/scheduled broadcasts).
- Poor app reliability and performance (slow loading, sometimes won’t open, compatibility issues with devices).
- Clunky navigation and user experience (locked on first screen, stories forced to video, hard to find articles).
- Content freshness and relevance problems (stories are old, not updated; breaking news overuse; sponsorships disguised as news).
