User Reviews

User reviews consistently praise the app for fast local news alerts and credible Las Vegas coverage, including I-Team investigations. However, a large share report serious stability issues: looping update prompts that block use, frequent crashes and freezes (even during live streams), and blank or black screens that fail to load news. Ad integration is another major gripe, with intrusive ads causing scrolling stutter and higher volume. Post-update usability also suffers, with a harder-to-navigate interface and landing pages that don’t show stories. When the app works, the content is solid; otherwise, reliability is a major problem.

Pros

Fast local news alerts (breaking news)
Credible local coverage including I-Team investigations
Quality content when the app functions properly

Cons

Persistent update prompts/bricked app: endless update windows with no actual update available
Frequent crashes and freezes, including during live streams
Intrusive ads that disrupt reading and cause stutter or high volume
Blank/black screens or failure to load news after update, poor navigation/usability post-update
