Ratings and reviews

This app is useless. If I could give it a 0, I would. Shuts down EVERY time I try to open it. Seemed like it would work, but once I logged into my account, it won't open. It sends me headline notifications, but if I click on them to read, the app shuts down. If I have to go to the website to read any articles, then this app doesn't need to take up space on my phone.

The app downloads and then as soon as it's uploaded and comes on then it clicks and goes back to my phone's home page. So everyone that experiences these problems needs refunded and to be able to get free service.

Subscribers can't see local news so this app is useless unless you're content with national news to start your day. UPDATED 12/2020 App continues to shut down after signing in. USELESS
