User Reviews

Users praise Boston 25 News for strong local coverage when the app works, but recurring complaints dominate: intrusive, long ads that disrupt video and reload content; frequent crashes and slow performance; and outdated or duplicated stories with weak navigation, search, and sharing options. Notifications are often described as overwhelming. Weather features can also misbehave. Overall, users want fewer ads, faster performance, better content freshness, and easier access to stories.

Pros

Strong, informative local news coverage when the app functions.
Positive sentiment toward the channel and staff; users enjoy the anchors and crew.
The app can be a useful way to stay updated (including weather) when it loads properly.

Cons

Intrusive ads that degrade the experience (very long, pop-up-style ads).
Ads frequently disrupt video playback—overlay audio/video, cause reloads, and lead to looping or pre-roll delays.
App stability issues include frequent crashes, freezes, and slow loading, especially during live video.
Content freshness/navigation problems: outdated/duplicate stories and lack of a handy search or easy way to find and share stories.
Notification clutter and other missing features (unwanted alerts, inability to customize alerts, and weather list management).

Recent reviews

Like to keep up with what is happening back home. Family and heart still there. Love the real time radar on the weather setting. Use it almost daily!

I still watch Boston 25 but it is incredibly sad all the people who have left your station in the last 5 years. You definitely can’t watch the station for the personalities anymore, it’s all about the format….
