Five minutes of news looping is incomplete
Shopper 300
And tons of commercials when the five minutes isn't looping
Wish this wasn't so glitchy! Could be great with a fix update.

Great idea, but super glitchy. 1. Shuts off (mutes) before playing entire news cast. 2. Volume level is very inconsistent--one segment will be too soft and then the next will be way too loud. 3. Wish it played the complete, current hourly news update first, then went into the random news stories. Now it may play a few seconds to a minute of the hourly before going news lotto.
Repetitive news

I was impressed by the quality and variety of news on the first day I installed the app, just to realize that they play news repetitively.
App hasn't worked in weeks

Up until a month ago I listened to the latest newscast in the on demand section of the app daily. For about a month the app hasn't played and I have been hoping you would send out an update to fix the bugs. When I go to play the app (connected to wifi), it looks like it is trying to refresh, but then stalls before it actually plays anything. The initial screen will play content sporadically, but I am only interested in the latest newscast information that you broadcast. Please fix soon or I will delete the app
Too Many "B-Reel" Interest Stories

There's too much fluff. A five-minute story about flags for US cities isn't considered news.
Great news coverage but....

Great news coverage but this app needs an upgrade that limits the amount of ads played. It has a lot of bugs that crash and stop the streaming. Please fix or provide an alternative.
Version before Oct 27 2016 was better

This update seems to be focused on giving news to read. The point of "listening" to radio broadcast of various CBS news shows is to LISTEN. But the worst thing is that when you set any of the timers, you can no longer choose a podcast to listen to -- you have to listen to whatever is streaming at the moment. Is there any way I can back off this update? There is no warning of this in the little update blurb. It is rather bland & innocuous.
Used to be better

I used to use this app practically everyday. It was a great way to catch up on news updates. The update on October 27th or 28th changed that. The user interface is now absolutely horrible and worse yet, the app crashes while repeatedly forcing ads and opening up the app store. A real shame. I will be looking for a new app to get the news.
