Unusable
The ads take over with loud volume, there is no way out other than closing the app. Skip ad doesn’t work. Trying to watch a video also basically takes over your phone and the only way out is closing the app. Can’t take it any longer, deleting app.
Fix this!
The most recent update did nothing but make the app worse! “View more” doesn’t open anything, everything is huge, and not as easy to navigate as before the update. Will not be using until you fix the issues.
Smut news
If you want local Florida news forget this app. Only National Enquirer type stories reported here.
New update
For some reason when I get notified about something with the app on my iPhone it only brings me to a screen that has me select what I want notifications on and location. Even when I put it in it stays on that page. I am no longer able to bring up the news story from the notification. I have never had this issues before and have deleted the App and added it back, still nothing…
Terrible large type since update
Whatever your recent update in the last few days or so has totally screwed up the way your news looks on my iPhone everything is giant. Please let me know that you are aware of this. Otherwise I am getting rid of your app.
Stuck
Was working good until update (02/12)…now on startup it makes me decide if I want breaking news etc, then when it continues to weather options it won’t proceed past my zip code. Worthless app if I can’t get to the news…
Needs Sorting Options
The app would be more useful if I could sort by date. It would also be better if I had the option to sort with or without topics.
We've reduced the number of weather push notifications and improved their accuracy. We also disabled the floating player on tablets.
