Frustrating – TheBlaze Review

This new app is horrible. Running on iPhone 6s and iPad Air. 1. Video constatnly bounces between full/wide screen while stationary. 2. Can't pause live video stream. 3. When watching past program and rotate device a second stream (the live one) starts up so now live and past programs are running simultaniously. 4. Live stream is constantly trying to buffer then I miss segments of the show. This has forced me to the website to stream which I prefer not to do on a work PC. 5. When I disable bluetooth in the app and tell audio to go to my device the video pauses when I disconnect the bluetooth device even when the audio is no longer going to the bluetooth device. Happens in my car or with my headset. 6. Not being able to scroll through different news stories with a finger flick is frustrating. I shouldn't have to hit the back button each time to go to a new story. If you don't want to do flick that is fine but then add a forward button to go to the next news story without going back to the main list all of the stories. On the upside they did fix the only two problems I had on the old app 1. I don't have to log out and then login every day even when my account info was already stored 2. The hyperlinks in some of the news stories are now not longer than the screen which prevented flicking to the next story. Come on guys. you have pushed a really bad product here compared to your old app. I hope this is fixed soon.
