Ratings and reviews

Most of the stories I see are 1-2 minute videos. I usually prefer a written story anyway, but the mandatory 15/30 second, no skippable ad, really doesn't make it feel worth it. On top of that, when a notification is more than an hour old, tapping on it will open the app but NOT take me to the story. I usually can't find the story I'm looking for based on the notification.

CrapApp. When an alert comes up, like a bit ago mentioned confirmation of two tornados in San Antonio, when clicking on it, it doesn't ever take you to that story, and you can rarely find it without wasting significant amount of time. Deleted the app. 1/22/2019 STILL a CrapApp. the only thing that plays on the livestream is a commercial then it goes blank and nothing! uninstalling it for the last time.

Volume is extremely low. Tried on several devices but can't hear playback without headphones and I'm not hard of hearing. (Edit) The closed captions are comically tiny. I wish I could add a screenshot so you can see it. Too many ads. My VPN blocked almost 1000 tracking attempts by this app and its partners just in the time it took to type the review by at least 6 completely irrelevant companies: Double verify Comscore Google Amazon Taboola Integral Ad Science
