User Reviews

User feedback is generally positive about content, especially the audio option and multiple channels. However, repeated issues with stability, heavy ads, video playback, broken/outdated links, and navigation/UI performance dominate the downsides. Users want a more stable app, fewer intrusive ads, reliable video and link handling, and smoother navigation to access timely local news.

Pros

Audio-only listening option and multiple channels for viewing news.
Good, consistent daily news coverage.
Accessible and informative news content on mobile.

Cons

Frequent crashes and 'App Could Not Be Started' errors; app won't open.
Excessive advertising that blocks content and degrades usability.
Video playback issues: videos don’t play reliably, links load slowly, or lead to unrelated content.
Broken or outdated article links/content, with old stories not updated.
Navigation/UI problems: stuttering interfaces, blank screens, and difficulty navigating after live stories.

Always glitching and freezing and shutting me out.

My sub stellar review is due to the inconsistency in information posted. Some stories stay up for months. Many important local matters are not posted at all. News from many counties away are posted as “local” and real local stories are ignored. The Right wing takeover of CBS has definitely shown itself in the stories posted.
