The new 13 Action News app

No Star’s. I want to read the articles, I can listen on the TV. The old app was better!

Suggestions

You need to have suggestions, especially who you have singing the national anthem. The last 2 have been horrible. No one, at 5:00, wants to hear those two ladies

Ads

Same ad repeats between newscast but it’s only on a 2 minute delay!!

Terrible

This app is terrible with the amount of ads they force you to try and watch especially after trying to open the app and it forces us to watch a video ad. You and everyone there are terrible for allowing that and I truly hope that you either go out of business for it or the company that runs your app goes out of business for this because it’s terrible. Seriously.
