Ratings and reviews

Edit: (After the most recent update it began opeming. I will give it stars until I can test more.) My recently installed app on my Android phone will not open or connect. A pop-up keeps saying the app keeps stopping - something that is quit obvious. Rebooting the phone has no . effect. Hate to give it one star, but since it can't be used, this is the only option.

Effective and east to use, choose live from different stations or programs on demand. latest hourly news any minute of any hour, after a short ad. no more missing the news at the top of the hour. Programs sometimes continue where I left off, close and reopen app to go back live, haven't totally figured that out yet, no need to, either. Quite happy with the application. it probably has more features than I care about, but I can get news any time.

The app used to work fine on my phone. With the latest update, it requires you to sign in to get access to your "Favourites", etc.. But the sign-in button takes you into a never-ending "loading" loop, and no way to sign in. The "On Demand" feature still works, but I don't want to have to search for my go-to shows every time. I have tried reinstalling the app on three separate days, each time with the same result.
