Recurrent issues include crashes/launch failures after updates, intrusive ads and video-first news causing slow loads, notification problems (duplicate alerts and links sometimes failing to open the story), difficult navigation (especially on iPad), and unreliable live video (freezes and small controls). A small number of users praise neutral reporting and timely weather, but overall sentiment is unfavorable.
