The only complaint is that when there is a traffic incident in the notifications, the verbal description only appears in the notification (unless I just need to be taught how to find it within the app.). In my experience, once you click on the notification, you get the map which shows congestion with colors, but in the case of such information, the verbal is at least as helpful as the map, and often more so, especially if the estimated clear-away or reopening time wasn't memorized.

Horrible app. It crashes CONSTANTLY and EVERY single video plays for a brief moment, then is cut off by a black screen and a commerical takes absurdly long to load. (I have an excellent data plan) After many of the commercials, which are apparantly more important than the news in which I downloaded the app for, the news video NEVER even comes back up! Don't waste space and time, just go Google the weather and download SMARTNEWS, which has ZERO ads and customizable news worldwide and local.

Bad. OK for news, but would like more stories to choose from (this is a news organization). Only app I have that forces you to sit through such a long opening screen (can't help but think the night screen looks like the Evil Eye). Accidentally tapped an ad I had no interest in. Could not kill it, even by closing app. Had to mute my phone - glad it didn't happen in a public place. When the ad finally ended, still could not close the ad pop-up - finally had to open settings and force-kill YouTube.
