Review summary

Users praise the app for solid local/breaking news coverage, timely alerts, and useful weather content. However, stability issues are common: crashes when using stories, launch failures, and reports that updates reduce or remove core news features, making the app unreliable for some users.

Pros

Presents local and late-breaking news; multiple reviews call it among the best for local/breaking news.
Keeps users in the loop with timely news updates and alerts.
Provides weather information and explanations that users find helpful.
Overall updates to the app are generally well-received by several users (positive reception to updates).

Cons

Frequent crashes when tapping on stories or reading details.
Startup/opening failures; users report the app won’t open.
Updates have degraded the experience by removing or limiting news content (e.g., no news after update).

2020-04-17	Nu*****	When a headline is chosen the app crashes. Best to have it updated. I’ve even deleted and reloaded it with no success. Maybe others are having the same problem. In the past it has been a great app

2014-09-06	Wr*****	Please! Let's get our priorities straight. When I signed up for breaking news alerts to be sent to my phone, I expected the severe weather and emergency closure alerts, and those are very helpful. But "Joan Rivers dies at age 81" ??? Really???!!!
