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.

I liked the old one where you can just see the headlines and choose want I want to look into. It also gave me Delco news. It was easier to navigate. I have no idea how to look up school closings or anything else in particular that I'm looking for without scrolling through EVERYTHING!!! This is the first time I visited the app since I wrote my post. I think it's time to uninstall it. The change was a downgrade in my opinion, very disappointed.

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
