Never up to date
Show a location
I wish you would show in your notifications what county an incident occurred in when I’m at my desk at work and you bring up an incident. I am not happy when I open the notification And find it’s a county or two away. I don’t like having to open my phone at work over issues that doesn’t effect me. I will delete your app soon.
Can’t stand the commercials
Drives me nuts when I click on a news headline to read more about it but the same dumb commercial comes on in advance of a video I’m not interested in. I can read what I want and don’t need a person standing in front of a camera telling me what I just read. Aggravating news source.
notifications
Why do all notifications disappear when you open the app? The search bar doesn’t find the stories you missed when the notifications disappeared. Basically all you get are the teaser headlines, no more.
Advertisements galore
Can’t stand how this app works. When I read a headline and tap to read more I automatically get a commercial preceding a video every time. Gets obnoxious.
Excellent Tracking
This is the best news station I’ve ever experienced
Horrible
Nothing but advertising videos and general advertising. I have to sift through advertising and wait for lengthy videos before I can actually see news stories. I just got an upgraded phone and immediately deleted the app. Absolutely detest their app and all the advertising.
Simple bug fixes and performance improvements.
