Ratings and reviews

I try to watch a video and I can't watch it unless some of it is cut off.. No matter how I turn my phone the video is cut off. You can't enlarge the video. Honestly I wouldn't bother with this app. I'm never able to read half the articles they notify me about because once I click the notification it doesn't take me to the story, just the home page. There's no search bar so you have to scroll if you want to try and find that story. Just all in all don't waste the phone storage.

You have to be VERY careful when clicking on a notification to read and article, otherwise EVERY other notification will disappear. It's probably 30/70 that I just open the article that I want without erasing the other notifications. 70% being when I lose all the other notifications. I'm so frustrated that I'm seriously consider deleting Live 5 and downloading another local news app. Despite Live 5 being a holdover from my non-streaming days.

The old app was better. It has since moved to more of a web based app and now it gives you spam notifications, of which, some you can not get out of without closing the app. When you do not get a "Congratulations, you're a winner!" notification, it is a blank screen, and when you go back, it takes you to the home page. I have been using Live 5 for about seven years.... They have about a week left before I delete it. Hopefully News 2 will be better.
