Click Bait

When you scroll an article even though you not touching near the sponsors add, it routes you there. Completely unacceptable and why this app needs improvement.

Don’t shove your sponsors adds in my face.

propaganda / controlled by leftists

i tried to use this app for local news but couldn’t find a way to hide from crazy propaganda and narrative that leftists try to use to create delusional people

Palm Beach officer arrested

This can happen to anybody who has abused alcohol and drugs.

Dark Mode?

No dark mode? These bright white pages are killing my eyes. Dark mode has been available on iOS for ages. Why does this app not support it? Other than that, the news articles are extremely vague and lacking vital information. News Channel 12 articles are like reading an overview of the latest happenings but, it seems like no one put forth any effort to report on any details on these happenings. This app and the reporting are definitely lacking the basics.
