I know they want her to have more impact on the show and be able to do more than just be the typical damsel in distress like her predecessors turned out to become most of the time but it becomes a pain to come back to the whole deus ex machina she inhibits throughout the show. Turtles are in a funk, can't seem to get out of it, "WAIT A MINUTE!" or perhaps - Turtles are on the lookout for a creature or the cause of such destruction and they're not getting anywhere "HOLD UP!"

I don't mind her learning combat, I don't mind her becoming Splinter's human pupil and a temporary heart filler, that's fine, but does anyone else feel this way about how they've been treating her? Turtles are taken down and then April comes to save the day but usually through some way that doesn't involve actual skill but her ability to read minds, soothe the soul, or something like that.
