Don’t bother

This used to be a helpful app. However, suddenly after a few “updates” ago, it stopped playing any of the videos or clips, although of course the ads play with no problem. I’ve updated the os several times and un/reinstalled the app several times across their updates, but the problem never resolved. This app isn’t worth your time - there are others that get you basically the same information but reliably.

Terrible

The video only plays in the corner. When I tap for full screen, it shuts off completely and is a black screen, no sound. It worked fine before the “upgrade.”
