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.

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.

My big issue is I get the push notifications and when I finally get around to them and see a story I want to see, you click it and it just puts on the live broadcast or the full 45 minute broadcast where I would have to search for the story im looking for. If I click on a push notification of someone being saved from a burning building that is the story i want to see, not everything else from the day.
