This is not a good app. The responsiveness on the app is slightly delayed. I’m removing this app.
Too many ads. Lots of clickbait. There are much better ways to get local news without all the annoyance.
WAY TOO MANY ADS! When I click on a news story, I get multiple “sponsored” ads that are bogus. I continue to get the ads and never the news story. I also resent that the app tracks & follows my trends. Why can’t I have the option to disable those cookies? I JUST want the NEWS!
Every story I try to view takes me to a page full of ads and everything but the story.
I would give zero stars. When you click on a news story it only pulls up a page of advertisements, no news story. Revert to your older app!
This is so heavy with ads it’s almost impossible to use
You should really look into finding real advertising. These lil games and clickbait stories is BS. CANT EVEN READ THE NEWS!!! After this latest stupid update.
New update is terrible doesn’t even let you read the story
