Ratings and reviews

Just okay Can't share stories anymore. Links do not load when sharing; says "null". Also, when I click on a notification, oftentimes it doesn't bring me to the story, it brings me to the live feed page, which is frustrating because then I have to go looking for the story and sometimes won't find it in the app.

I've had this app for years and it had been useful...but now I get news alerts that are totally not nessesary. How researchers found the perfect twist to an oreo? A lottery winner split the prize? What Tom Brady is up to? I'd still rather get traffic alerts even though I do not have a car. I've not had technical issues in awhile so there's that.

This app is certainly not great. It crashes alot, the links are broken a ton, and they never seem to fix anything. The adds always load but the news to follow only loads 60% of the time. For a news station you would think they could spend a little more trying to get a usuable app. Especially after its been out for this amount of time.Of course i still use it because this is my local weather station and news hub that i prefer but if there were other options i would take it.
