Small
Just wish it would focus a little bit more on more local stuff. It doesn’t have to be all bad or politics. Just events and more stuff locally.
I appreciate having it...
It I find it a little hard to navigate. Seems like I’ve clicked on a headline or notice and it takes me to a page rather than to the story I tried to access. I’m not a heavy user of this app as I mainly am looking for links to weather, but might use it more if I felt it was easier to maneuver.
Issues
Is to worried about national news and doesn’t focus on the local news
and by the time they post anything it is “ancient history”.
They need more local people that actually care about the area rather than someone just worrying about looking good and adding to their resume.

Weather Accuracy
I would like to give this a five star rating but due to the weather forecast for several days out, it is always different than what is shown during your weather forecast during the news.
The best
I have been watching 40/29 since I moved to NWA and I love it!! I would totally recommend 40/29 to anyone!! The whole crew are wonderful ppl.. keep up the great job y’all ..
Too Many Ads
This app auto plays video, with sound, with no way to mute them. Only with Ads. While it creates a tremendous amount of revenue for 40/29 and Hearst, it’s incredibly annoying with you open an article in a quiet setting and an irrelevant ad just starts playing as loud as can be when you don’t want to even watch a video.

Great news app but
Great news app, however every time you go a few days without opening it, it leaves you a pop up notification that says “you’re missing us, open the app”. After a while it’s annoying enough that you’ll want to turn off notifications altogether.
Like the local news, hate the amount of 'fluff' content
I will preface that I understand the fluff lifestyle articles featured on this app (and the website) generates revenue for them. But for me, the format in which they feature these click bait pieces drives me crazy. Regular ads I can tolerate, but the "lifestyle" slide-show articles mixed within the local / proper news feels disorganized and tabloid-y. To be fair, this is not the only news app or website that populates non-news 'sponsored content' articles into it's proper news feed and, as mentioned earlier, I understand it's income and keeps the app free. But it's a format that increasingly 1) doesn't work for me, 2) tests my patience and 3) makes my visits to apps and websites like this very short.

Every story you want to read you have to listen to a video first, there is no option to mute so you have to watch and listen to the same video over and over again. It becomes annoying very quickly.
Great app!
The only issue I have is: when more than one notification pops up that I’m interested in, I can’t always find second or third ones.
