Ratings and reviews

This app worked fine for years...there must have been an update recently as for about the last month every time I try to read an article the app freezes, reloads, opens again only to freeze when trying to read any article...I'll uninstall and re-install to see if that fixes it but I'll be uninstalling permanently if I still have problems.

It's getting worse. I can't open the next news article without another ad. I'm an Android user and I can't scroll pages without going back to the home page. It’s very time consuming. Please change this to be able to scroll from page to page without an ad between every news article. It shouldn't take me 45 minutes to get through 20 news articles when I'm not fully reading the ones that aren't applicable to me.

So more product testing or product testing for first time ever needs to be done for every new app version release. And record keeping of work shell be sent as logs to Raycom Media each time to ensure work is being done on a regular basis. App bugs, share button no longer works. The submit a bug report doesn't work either. PS. A copy of this message is being used for the latest app review on the app store aka Google App Store.
