zero stars if I could
Terrible app. News stories are imbedded with ad links that take up about half the page sometimes. Scrolling on a phone, you can’t make it through an entire article without accidentally opening a browser link for an ad.
WORST news app I have ever used
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP FOR NEWS IN KANSAS CITY
Clumsy navigation, slow loading articles, horrible user interface.
Navigating between news stories is beyond cumbersome.
This app is just a horrible internet browser that slowly loads the articles.
The homepage displays the first (most recent) news stories. At the end of this short list is a “load more” button that shows you more articles. So far so good, right?
Not even close.
So this is how it plays out: when you finish reading an article and go back to the list of stories, it takes you back to the homepage with the initial listing of five or so articles. So you scroll down and hit the “load more” button to see the next few stories. Loading another five at a time. Then the process repeats itself when you click into another article and return to the initial listing. You’re back to the homepage with the initial five stories. Oh and don’t forget everytime you return to the homepage it leaves you at bottom of the page so you end up scrolling back to where the end of the article list is to load the stories again. Rinse and repeat.
Pretty sure this was coded by middle school students.
Keep up the great work kids!

Cluttered with ads and commercials, sprinkled with info I’m not looking for.
I’ve downloaded and deleted this app multiple times. It’s difficult to find news stories because the screen is so cluttered with ads.
The stories I look for are often videos rather than text that I can read. The video commercials on a tiny viewing area surrounded by click bait ads. Disappointing.

Livestream
Seriously? You need an account to watch the livestream after 5 minutes. What? I shouldn’t need to login to an account to watch free news. Especially during severe weather.
Live stream locked behind account no way to log in to account on app
So the livestream during like severe weather only has a small amount of free time then you have to make a free account. Okay fine, but the problem is there is no way to log into the free account while using the app once you enter your info, they send you a sign in link to the email, clicking the confirmation sign in link opens the link in safari or whatever browser you have in your phone it doesn’t link back into the app so there is no way to sign in to the account you made using the app meaning the app can’t watch the live stream after that little preview window timeframe they give you “free”
