Ratings and reviews

Why is it that everytime I watch the news/weather and a random advertisement pops up right in the middle? I think I've seen more advertisements than the news/weather, itself, on this app. I would have better luck recording this stuff on a VHS tape than relying on this app. I understand advertisements during the breaks but for it to pop up during the news/weather. That ain't good at all. 👎

The new app is terrible. Read a story, return to main page, and you habe to start all over. Stories are incomplete and follow-up is rare. Ads pop up so you can't read the story. Videos take forever to load. Its all just steps in the wrong direction. I wish I knew what you had tried to accomplish, but to me it dosen't work.

This app is great and informative. However, in my experience, three things could use a tune up..... 1.The video screen does not rotate to view in portrait mode. 2. The obituary section should continue where a person left off after selecting a certain obituary. It's annoying that you have to start from the beginning of the leading obituary. 3. The video play takes way too long to play. Think about the update guys and thank you.
