Ratings and reviews

I dont know what got done to this app but the last couple of months, whenever I want to catch the news or replay the news it shows 30 seconds of news and either goes to nonstop Action News commercials or freezes up. It's been uninstalled. Stinks because I refer my trucker friends to the app for the weather when they have a load to Florida, I will refer them to weather.gov from here on out

Notifications push out news headlines, but links never take you to those particular stories. Notifications also tell you if an interesting news break is happening on live stream, but the live stream has never worked for me a single time. Always says we'll be right back, never plays. Once in a while I'll get a commercial but no streaming news. Even when I clicked a notification shortly after receiving it, so I know I couldn't have completely missed it yet.

Streaming Commercials????? Using the streaming portion of the app, you have to watch anywhere between 7 to 10 commercials in order to watch one segment of news. And it's usually not really news! The news articles are fine, but are not updated per time of publishing. I'll scroll down and see an article that is listed as posted yesterday or days ago, and it will be updated today. ??? Why do that? Repost it with today's date if you're going to update it. The news anchors are awesome, not the app!
