Embedded ads are terrible.

This is the best local news app but the embedded ads are terrible. While scrolling through a story it’s nothing for me to have 2-3 hands take me to a sponsored website. Then I have to start over reading the ad. Very discouraging.

Doesn’t work

Live stream doesn’t work in the app, nor when you pull it up in the browser. And it’s super frustrating that you can’t watch previous broadcasts from start to finish. Just the same 4-5 stories, usually 2-3 of which are meaningless sports, over and over again.

What happened?

This used to be the best local news app and now it just locks up my phone. Time to delete it.
