## OzarksFirst Reviews in United States

### *---- "Unable to use due to ads"
I really enjoy living in springfield with a big weather event and not being able to access the news/weather due to the pop up ad as soon as you enter the app freezing and not allowing me to do anything in the app. It is like the ap loads behind this invisible ad trying to show me the news but alas I cannot go further.
-- dragonfireoutdoors, 2025-04-30

### *---- "Extremely small font"
Can’t read any of the words under the pictures. You have to actually click on it. I don’t have time to look at every article.
-- Jay*-, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Update didn’t work"
Now can’t use app since update two weeks ago!
-- nathwoo, 2024-02-19

### *---- "Terrible!"
This app was bad before but now it’s worse than ever.  Crashes every time I try to open the app.  Thats fine, KY3 is better anyways.
-- Christ_is_returning_soon, 2024-02-14

### *---- "App has changed."
As of this morning I cannot read anything on your app. Everything is extra large and has one word per line. Don’t like and cannot read the news
-- lakegirl 43, 2024-02-03

### *---- "Ridiculous Ads"
You can’t scroll through any article without it opening whatever ad is being shown 30 times. I usually get so frustrated I stop reading what could be a great news piece before I finish. It doesn’t matter how carefully you scroll it seems to open every few seconds/swipes so until that’s fixed I’ll just read others news stories. They are great at news but not when you have to close out of ads 30 times to try and read them. Please fix this S it’s extremely frustrating. I get you need people to sponsor/cover your news and page but don’t make it a trap where we have no choice.
-- MrsWren79, 2022-05-31

### *---- "Ads ads ads ads ads ads"
The “live” feature just alternates a string of ads followed by “We will be right back”. Repeat. 

You can’t be “back” is you never were present.
-- iamhondo, 2021-08-13

### **--- "Ad phishing app"
Scrolling through a news story, takes me Metropolitan insurance at slightest swipe of their ad. Deleted app
-- XII Bravo, 2021-06-09

### *---- "App Terrible To Use!"
Every time I receive a notification I CRINGE. Why you ask? Because your responding splash page hits me in the face with an ad that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to swipe up and dismiss. I know you need click-based revenue but please It is a most annoying pain in the…
-- elvisrocks2, 2021-03-31

### **--- "Hit and miss"
This pertains to the live aspect of the app. On many occasions when trying to watch the morning show, the app will flash the broadcast off and on in my screen.  When that stops, the video is fine however there is no sound. This usually happens for a good 3-5 minutes of opening the app before it finally resumes a normal stream. On other occasions, I can watch the CBS Morning news instead my local channel, which I don't understand. This app is good when it works however within the last year, it has been declining with how reliable it is.
