### 2/5 — No Ability to Cast

*2024-11-14, version 5.52.0*

Most video apps have the ability to cast (e.g. to Chromecast) to a TV. This app needs that capability for Live Video. No one wants to watch on a small phone screen when a TV is available.

### 1/5 — Very biased

*2024-09-21, version 5.52.0*

Very biased news. It’s unfortunate there isn’t a local news source (that I’m aware of) that doesn’t input their own political bias.

### 5/5 — Fox

*2024-08-17*

Fox please Pay for all every week pay for the whole season the Vikings game so it’s always on the Fox network for the rest of this whole season permanent constantly watched the Vikings find a way to get access to all the networks for every single week and every single week it’s playing so that people can watch it permanently and it will be every single week that everyone can watch it and it will only be in the Fox network for rest of the whole 2024 and please do that and pay for to get access to it and please find a way to do that 100% and do it in 2025 and 2026

### 2/5 — Love the Content

*2024-08-15, version 5.52.0*

I love Fox 9 news but this version has too much going on for me graphically. I find it hard to scan through. It is better on a tablet however I use my phone more often.

### 1/5 — Bias channel

*2024-08-09, version 5.52.0*

Very pro democrat news. Very biased against republicans.

### 1/5 — Partisan

*2024-08-07, version 5.52.0*

Everyday there are articles about the Dems but if anything is about the Republicans then it is NEGATIVE!  Trump is correct calling mainstream media “fake news”!

### 2/5 — Needs ability to customize notifications

*2024-08-02, version 5.52.0*

I finally tuned off all notifications from this app because I do not care for the constant live video/sports notifications.

### 2/5 — Always Freezing

*2024-07-25, version 5.52.0*

This app stops & starts so many times!!!  I almost don’t even want to use it anymore!

### 1/5 — Sinking Fast

*2024-07-02*

They must use other Twin City news sources for their content. Same stories, written nearly the same. Severe lack of actual "news", but more than enough "tabloid" trash. They repeat daily content for several days. Personally, once I've read it, I don't need to read it again. Poor follow-up and little updates. The GOOD side is that it only takes 1-2 minutes each morning and you can move on to more worthwhile sources and not have to waste time here!

### 1/5 — How to get out of your Ap??!

*2024-06-19, version 5.52.0*

Doesn’t allow to terminate your weather/news Ap!
I am done, how do I exit!!????
