User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app’s content when it works but are repeatedly frustrated by ads, performance issues, and UI changes. The top recurring problems are intrusive, auto-playing ads (often with sound), frequent freezing/crashing, unreliable live streaming, and a redesigned interface that makes navigation harder and removed features like the iPhone widget. Content quality is noted, but user experience is severely affected by these issues.

Pros

Solid weather and local news content when the app is functioning
Regularly used by some users to stay informed
Journalists and reporting are appreciated by users

Cons

Intrusive ads, including auto-playing video ads with loud sound, disrupt reading and navigation
Frequent freezing/crashing/hanging after updates
Unreliable live video streaming and live feed viewing
Redesigned UI/navigation changes that make it harder to use and removal of features like the iPhone widget
Embedded ads launching automatically and pop-ups while reading articles

I loved this app until the ads became too much! I deleted it.

Out of town during an approaching hurricane event. Tried several time to view “live feed” with no success. You guys need to step up your game on live streaming your news programs
