A decent app most of the time, however, I turned notifications on so I could hear tornado warnings and ended up getting news alerts such as, "A married couple lost their wedding topper. You won't believe where they found it," and sports news that I care nothing about. It would be nice if I could choose the topics I am interested in following instead of their random alerts. It's so annoying and bordering on being a menace.

This definitely needs improvement. I click on a news story from my notifications about an Afghan man arrested for a planned terrorist plot on election day expecting a video and news article on the subject only to get the news article coupled with a video on completely different topic. Very very distracting. The video should match the article. Please, do one or the other, not both.

Just OK. Most top news is here. Problem is "smaller" stories can be hard to find. Hard enough that I'm not sure they exist in the app at all. Their search engine is awful. I searched for a current news story I read about on NextDoor. When I tried searching the first news story was dated 2013. They weren't in chronological order so, unless you want to flip through 10 years of stories, searching for a current story is useless. No, worse than useless. Frustrating.
