User Reviews

Users broadly value the app for local news, weather, and traffic in one place and for convenient access. Positive feedback highlights timely updates and good response times. However, recurring downsides include provider compatibility issues (notably Channel 5 on MyDISH) and a degraded weather experience (smaller radar, less intuitive UI). Occasional concerns about news currency and initial privacy policy friction are noted but less pervasive. Overall, the app is useful for local coverage, but usability and access limitations reduce satisfaction for some users.

Pros

Strong local news, weather, and sports coverage.
Comprehensive local information (news, weather, and traffic) in one app.
Easy, on-the-go access to news and updates.
Good app performance with quick response times.

Cons

Channel 5 availability on certain providers (e.g., not available on MyDISH) limits access for some users.
Weather radar/map is smaller and less user-friendly than prior versions, degrading the weather viewing experience.

Recent reviews

Can’t open this app because it forces me to enter a zip code, but even when I do, there is no way to press enter or hide the keyboard, and there is no button visible to continue. I don’t know if they completely failed to test, or maybe it’s because of my type size setting, but the app is useless as is.

Are used to watch channel 5 both for news and regular programming. However either dish or the station in their infinite wisdom to decided to take channel 5 off MyDISH.I would watch if I could. You people need to get your act together
