Ratings and reviews

This app worked fine for years...there must have been an update recently as for about the last month every time I try to read an article the app freezes, reloads, opens again only to freeze when trying to read any article...I'll uninstall and re-install to see if that fixes it but I'll be uninstalling permanently if I still have problems. Samsung S5

If there was another local news app I would use it. 90% of the time the app not open at all. Occasionally it will say it cannot determine my location even though the location is enabled. I was hoping when I got my new phone this situation would change but it hasn't, so it must be the quality of the app.

Do not even bother using since last update. Ads are trying to pop up but block entire story. When you try to back out it takes you back to the home page. You have to do this at least 2 times just to see some of the stories. I have gave it a while to see if it would be fixed but no such luck.
