Ads Too Obtrusive
BillInRedmond
When I open an app looking for news I don’t like having a full-page ad covering the content. Performance is better but too many videos still don’t play correctly if at all.
Keeps me up to date

I agree with the previous review regarding the videos I too am using the latest version of Apple iOS. But the snippets of news that I receive come more quickly than with competing apps--a feature I appreciate and from a news crew I trust.
Sharing

I enjoy sharing the local news with my daughter in S. CA as she loves knowing the areas in WA state. Thank you?
Frustrating!!!

Can’t watch a video without it stopping all the time. Can’t read a whole article with an ad in the way that wont move and you cant scroll down!!!!
Frustrating

Very frustrating to use. Slow to respond and crashes every time. I usually only get to read one or two stories before it crashes. I hoped the recent update would help, but it didn't. My iOS is up to date.
Ads cut off text

Usually the ad from Everquote (?) cuts off the bottom paragraph of the story. I do a quick check throughout the day to see if there is anything happening that I need to know about.
Content issues

“News” is slanted toward a particular political agenda in many cases, their reporting is biased.
Not my favorite app, but it's even worse on an iPad.

This app keeps getting worse. It’s terrible for voiceover accessibility, as it mixes up the stories with voiceover. Video crashes, and the nag screen ads that don’t work with voiceover at all, but you have to Close them to continue with the app, are worthless! I have been reading Cairo and KOMO news more often. And they don’t do that! But after yet another nag for review, here's my thoughts. While the app is trying to give you more information on the main screen when first launched, this new version has even more clutter than before. When I opened on an iPad in landscape, there is a lot of empty space on the left and right sides. The older version would adjust for landscape, while displaying as much information on the screen as possible. The app does run slow on current devices. Am considering switching from the local king5 NBC affiliate to one of the other local stations as my main news source. What's even worse with this app, is it gives you push notifications for useless information. You might want to get some of them, but not all of them. Since they are sending out so many alerts, why don't they give you the option to customize which alerts you want. Fun not having that option, I am forced to turn them off. Or uninstall the app.
