Ratings and reviews

I loved the app until the last week or so...too many sponsored stories, and the app keeps crashing or the screen wiggles from left to right! Update 2/20/18 I keep getting pop up ads when pulling up stories! I have to go back to the home screen to get out of them. This is happening on both the news and weather apps. update 3/16/19 app keeps crashing upon opening. please get rid of the sponsored ads, pretty sure that's what is causing the problem.

Good app. However, can you please give an option in the settings to only have positive news come up in notifications? I'd like to still receive important weather updates as well, but I hate opening my phone at the end of the workday, or during lunch and seeing that someone's gotten shot or someone's gotten killed. It's not good for anyone to constantly hear about that stuff.

When I download an app and give it permission to send notifications, I don’t want it sending at least five notifications an hour. If I say I only want weather-related alerts, I also don’t want an article from two days ago being pushed to me. This is basically harassment. I delete the app. This kind of nonsense is unacceptable.
