There is too much advertising. A story pops up that you want to read and you have to wait for several ads to keep loading and by the time it's done you forgot what you were going to read about. Then you get frustrated and close it all out. And you might as well forget about trying to watch a video story, it locks everything up and it ain't going to happen!
Live news keeps crashing or closing
Latte Rob
Watching live news closes the app unexpectedly or crashes! Not sure what changed but it's annoying to restart the app when I want to watch the news. Only able to watch 10-15 minutes each time.
Sharing Issues

Can't share all stories, only select ones. Am retired journalist who uses my FB Page to keep friends informed in a spectrum of topics.
Needs attention, better implementation
No Nickers
1) Stories overlap between subheadings; what's the point of having separate subheadings? 2) Sports needs it's own subheading. 3) National and World news need to be broken out into their own subheadings. 8/27/15 Obviously the above observations are w/out merit & every one wants to have 5 opportunities to see redundant articles, . . . figures! 11/01/17 The last update has rendered the application so crash prone its lost 3 notches in my news apps, it is in last place.
Love it

Has everything I need, I love how fast I get alerts for things that are happening. I don't have time to watch tv so this app in comparison to other news apps is the best by far for local news. I have the iPhone 7 and before I had the iPhone 6s.
Horrible App

While their content appears very good, good luck trying to see it. Many stories don't load, or if they do it is longer than the several minutes I have tried waiting. Scrolling is frustratingly slow, and often I just get bounced out of the app entirely. I've tried emailing and calling the station but never ever hear back and nothing ever changes. Obviously, they don't care. I think the stations new ownership is running it on interns who change frequently. They are trying for a new new but it is not working.
Auto opens ads and won’t stop unless you close the app

Lately the app auto-opens ads without clicking on anything. Closing the ad and returning to the app just re-opens the ad. Closing and re-opening the app sometimes helps. I reputable news app shouldn’t feel like I’ve clicked on a virus infested site.
Videos don't work on any iOS device.

This app has gotten worse over the years. Almost all the videos don't play and have horribly long ads. The weather and radar is all I use it for now. This has to be the worst app I have ever used. From the videos barely ever working to the app always glitching and sending me to the App Store all the time.
