User Reviews

Users largely cite stability and freshness issues: feeds lag, stories won't load after updates, and some updates removed accustomed features. Ads frequently interrupt reading with redirects to the App Store. Several reviewers feel the latest version degrades the experience and dislike lack of landscape support on iPad, but many still value the app for local news and weather.

Pros

Local area news is a key draw and is used daily by reviewers.
The weather forecast feature is valued by users.
Recent updates have fixed issues for some devices, improving stability for iPad users.

Cons

News feed often behind by days and fails to refresh, especially on weekends.
The app frequently fails to load stories or data after updates (e.g., 'Failed to load station data').
The latest version is seen as degraded, with many longing for the old version.
Intrusive ads and redirects to the App Store disrupt reading.
Landscape/rotation problems on iPad and portrait-only behavior, with videos restarting when rotating.

Recent reviews

I downloaded the app and started up to live news as I was watching it at home. News was running initially, but continue to freeze after a few seconds. Bottom line, it freezes after about two seconds of run time. Not a good app.

The only issue I have is that there are days where the feed is at least a day behind. Stories from the televised news don’t show for at least 24 hours
