Ratings and reviews

As soon as i noticed the version that i had, would no longer play videos, i knew what was coming. More ads, less content. The old version of the app was deliberately prevented from working, to get people to upgrade. The new version is terrible. Way more ads. Way more scrolling. Bigger thumbnails so you can see those ads better. Can't fast forward through ads. Terrible app.

No longer allows me to watch without touching the screen every ten seconds. Used to be able to leave it on for hours. It's been almost two months since I've been able to do that. Tried the same on my tablet and the app on there does the same. Am able to watch YouTube videos on both devices for hours without having to touch the screens, so it must be the app and not user errors on my end

Until the latest update loved this app especially for streaming the morning news. Now it's a hassle to try to even watch the live stream. There is no option to watch in full screen, turn the phone horizontal and the two large gray bars for the app make it impossible to see what is being shown. Update: as previously stated there is no button for full screen. I would be happy to include screen shots in an email.
