Good local news, but older full newscasts should be restored
OzarksFirst has been around for a long time, going back to around 2007, and even earlier when it was connected to stations like FOX 27, KOLR 10, KSFX, Ozarks Local, and other local newscasts. These stations covered many important moments in local history, weather events, and breaking news for the Ozarks.
The app today is useful for current news and weather, but I really wish it included older full newscasts and history archives. Many of those past broadcasts still exist, and it would be great to be able to watch or read them again inside the app.
It would help a lot to have a History Archive section where users can pick any year, month, day, and time, and watch full newscasts, not just short clips. This would be very helpful for learning, research, schools, weather history, and people who want to remember how things were covered years ago.
Older stations like FOX 27, KOLR 10, KSFX, and Ozarks Local are an important part of Ozarks media history. Bringing back those full archived broadcasts would make OzarksFirst much stronger and more complete. Other services archive their past content, and local news history deserves the same care.
The app is good, but adding clear, easy-to-use history archives with full older newscasts would make it amazing and preserve local news history for future generations.

Not worth it
I recently spent ten minutes trying to get to a news story that was of interest. I simply couldn’t get through the ads to get to the story and finally give up and deleted this app!
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.

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.
