Ratings and reviews

Good app. However, can you please give an option in the settings to only have positive news come up in notifications? I'd like to still receive important weather updates as well, but I hate opening my phone at the end of the workday, or during lunch and seeing that someone's gotten shot or someone's gotten killed. It's not good for anyone to constantly hear about that stuff.

I loved the app until the last week or so...too many sponsored stories, and the app keeps crashing or the screen wiggles from left to right! Update 2/20/18 I keep getting pop up ads when pulling up stories! I have to go back to the home screen to get out of them. This is happening on both the news and weather apps. update 3/16/19 app keeps crashing upon opening. please get rid of the sponsored ads, pretty sure that's what is causing the problem.

I've been a loyal listener to Ch 19 news for more than 40 years. I've used the app now for several years, but will now uninstall it. This is because it has become so annoying WITH ADS. I can put up with scrolling ads at the bottom, then they began making ads look just like real stories. Now, everytime I try to read a news item the app plays audible ads. This is annoying and so distracting you can't read the story, plus it disrupts anyone around you, no matter where you are.
