Update 9/24/24: The latest update has everything working correctly. I like the clean layout and functionality. Thanks for being a reliable news service I can count on. /// Original review: After years of working great, the app livestream has stopped working on 2 different Pixel 6a phones after the new version came out. Please fix this bug! Thanks
