Ratings and reviews

I love this app, it's my go to when I want to see the weather report or to find info on a news story or just to see what's happening in the world. It can be added to Roku as well as phones. It offers local news clips as well as nationally and then has entertainment, politics, editors choice, and more categories to scroll thru each story has a headline & is in video form which you can either watch or skip & I love being able to see different news stories on the same thing from more than 1 source

great app for personalized news. Issues, does not stop once you close app on phone, it runs in backround. why does it keep showing me commercials in Spanish? there are no ad preference settings. Update. It is still a very intrusive app, takes over the Chromecast to a point it can't cast anything else and have to unplug Chromecast or reset through Google home app. It won't skip forward, the commercials are still in Spanish.

I recently bought a hisense 65h9f android tv that includes this app. Excellent I'm a news hound. Before paying for a subscription I tried it out for a while. According to to pop up add pushing for the sub it says to turn off the ads sign up. I have no problem paying for a useful service. Here's the thing. Since 1st using it, it has been showing the same 10 video clips every once in a while 1 will change out. Along with advertisements. It gives far less then Google or MSN news. Which are free.
