Ratings and reviews

This app fails to do what I've downloaded it for spectacularly. I've got it for the weather but it fails to show anything. It only displays ads most of the time and and when it does give me weather information it's usually just cloud coverage. I think they try to push a recording of the weather, but that only shows after a 30 second ad. If you want local news it somewhat works for that, which is why I give it 2 stars, but with it's lack of weather information makes it impossible to recommend ap

I set only weather notifications and now I'm getting alerts about new rollercoasters

I will probably delete this app it is awful and useless on Android operating systems. It takes 2 or 3 attempts to open the app successfully, articles only partially load with media missing it's utter garbage and leaves an incredibly negative experience for the user. Easily one of the worst news apps on the play store.
