## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for timely, local, accurate news and weather and for being a reliable daily source. The top complaints are technical issues (crashes/streaming problems) and uneven regional coverage (Marion County underrepresented, with more focus on Pee Dee/NC-border areas). A few note nuisances like pop-ups and desire faster alerts. In short, it’s a trusted, locally focused news app hampered by stability problems and uneven regional emphasis.

### Pros

- Timely alerts and up-to-date news and weather delivered quickly, often ahead of on-air broadcasts.
- Strong local coverage for Myrtle Beach/Horry County, making it a go-to source for local news and weather.
- Accurate, neutral reporting presented by mature, professional, and family-friendly staff.
- Reliable daily source users turn to in the morning and at night.

### Cons

- App instability and streaming issues (crashes/locking up after updates and ongoing streaming problems).
- Coverage balance concerns: Marion County and some local areas feel underrepresented with apparent focus on Pee Dee and the NC border.
