Ratings and reviews

This app is better organized than the other local news apps. BUT I have problems with the articles not loading when I click on them. I end up closing it, counting to 3 and clicking again. Sometimes it takes doing this twice, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. This is about 50% in "top stories", but 90% in the "latest" category. Despite this issue, I still use the app bc it's the best of our local news apps

This makes the second time I've updated this app that I lost the weather information. The only thing I can see is the interactive map. Now have to use my other weather app again to see information about the weather. Since I updated app I don't recieve notifications at all now, even though I updated before the date that push notifications would stop if I didn't. This app has went down hill with the last 3 updates. Time to switch to another news app that actually works.

2 stars for inconsistency. The article headlines don't always provide a link to the actual article. After clicking on said article, it takes you to a blank page. You need to hit the back button and then click the article you want to read, again. Repeat this step 2-5 times to either see the article you want to read or give up and try a different headline
