I got this app (and paid for the subscription) for south carolina news. I don't care about Kansas news, so stop putting it at the top of my feed. I stopped paying for the subscription after it went up 10 dollars a month! I know journalists have to get paid, I respect that, but a 10 dollar jump? I can afford 17, I can't afford 27. The notifications are also broken. If I see an interesting headline in my notifs then can't read the story because it just takes me to the homepage, now I'm frustrated.

Ap is horrible. Half the links don't work and then just sit there waiting to load, but I can go load it in internet in a snap. Not a fan. Also, it is covered with ads, I don't want to pay a monthly subscription for an ap or a website covered with ads. No thanks.

I keep having to uninstall and then install the app again. I am installing latest version but it just stops working periodically. Frustrating.
