Ratings and reviews

My issue is with the app alerts and those running it. The alert message does not contain the entire headline forcing you to click on the alert to go to the app which take five to ten seconds to load the majority of time. I get you're trying to get users to go to the app but either make it load faster or just show the entire headline on the alert if you want to continue being my top choice for local news alerts.

Always issues with this app. Live stream doesn't work properly or not at all, a commercial will pop in randomly during a broadcast when it is not even time for commercial, the app is extremely slow, and there are times it will not even open and crash. Maybe its time to move to a more stable platform as this one is not working.

The app sucks in the streaming content is pretty much unwatchable. You get maybe a minute or two of news and then 5 minutes of commercials. What's worse is that they'll play the exact same commercial 2, 3 and sometimes even 4 times in a row. Which is not only annoying, but an insult to my intelligence as well.
