User Reviews

Users praise the app for timely local Chattanooga coverage and general usefulness, but repeatedly complain about ads, stability issues, notification and article-loading problems, and perceived bias in coverage. Addressing ads, reliability, and content quality would greatly improve the experience.

Pros

Up-to-date and accurate news
Covers bigger local stories in Chattanooga
Handy for quick local news access
Some reviewers call it an amazing/best-in-class local news app

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads (pop-ups, ad countdowns, banners)
App crashes/freeze frequently and performance is unstable
Push notifications often don't link to stories or are too numerous
Articles/links fail to load or navigation is flaky
Perceived editorial bias in coverage (liberal stance and Nation News Desk content)

I deleted the app because if I read an article it keeps sending me to the App Store to the whiteout survival download page. It happens usually 4-5 times each time I’m reading an article.

The app is decent and they usually cover bigger stories in Chatt. However, there is definitely some bias (not horrible) in many stories, which is not what I want in my news sources. It is Sinclair so they also post Nation News Desk stories which are just poorly written drama news articles. I don’t recommend if you’re looking for an unbiased news source.
