Ratings and reviews

I wish I could rate it higher, but there's one major issue that I run into too frequently to be able to do so. The issue is that when you I am watching a video in full screen and rotate the screen (when I want to see it larger) it kicks me out of the video and makes to go back to the start of the video. So I don't only have to scroll back down the article to find the video again, but I also need to find where in the video I was when I rotated the screen! It's extremely frustrating!

I don't like the new update. I used to be able to easily access local news, now it shows me local news with bits of other news spread within. It's not as used friendly and I find myself spending more time trying to find relevant news though analysis etc than reading the news. Such a shame as it was such a trustworthy news app.

A few really annoying quirks. 1. if you click on a video, click to expand to full screen and rotate your phone from portrait to landscape it cancels the expand, and moves to the top of the page, so you have to search for the video again. 2. the authors seem to pad their articles with the same content on average 3 times over in almost every article. e.g. You'll read that the weather was mild. Then there was reportedly mild weather today. Then milder weather conditions were had. Annoying!
