Ratings and reviews

Every single time I click a notification it goes into the app and freezes. I can do anything. The only thing I can do is go to my phones history and clear it from my history so I can get out of the shop and use my phone. The August 2nd update made this an unusable app. It doesn't matter if I click a notification or click on the app itself. If I enter the KIRO7 app it freezes. Please fix this.

Terribly designed app for listening on long commutes. The radio is just static in some parts I travel through, so I wanted clear audio. I open the app and 12 ads immediately play before I get to hear the news, very often the same ad repeats right after it ends. Content jumps around, one program is playing and I don't get to ever hear the end because it gets cut off with 10 more ads before something entirely different resumes that I was never watching. Going to listen to a different station now.

Mostly terrible app. When it does work (which is only during literally every other update), the news stories are decent. The settings are an absolute joke...I have all boxes UNCHECKED except for sports alerts and severe weather alerts; yet, I get 7 or 8 completely irrelevant and unrelated alerts all day long. The "quiet time" function is nice...when it works...which it doesn't. I still get alerts during my selected times if I haven't silenced my phone for the night.
