No good

The push notifications rarely take you to the story they are headlining. Usually goes to the live page, so frustrating. Then you can’t even find the story they pushed out. All the Cleveland news apps are horrible.

Skip loading this app

If you are looking to read local news then look somewhere else. It is not possible to read a full short article. Constant reloading (for ad content) makes the article jump back and forth to random spots in the article so the majority of the time is spent trying to scroll it back to where you were in the article. To make matters worse it will always crash several times during these reloads.

Crashes

The app constantly crashes now and freezes my phone. It never used to do this so I’m thinking there’s a bug with it.
