App got worse

The new updated app is junk.. Layout not good.. Cannot share the article no more.. Bring back the old style app

Very touchy app for live news

The app is very touchy on iPhone and iPad when watching live. One wrong move or touch on my device and I lose the live and have to go back. The mandatory ads that pop up first mean I miss a chunk of news. Today the audio is about 30 seconds ahead of the video. Never would I rely on their weather app since they can’t even get the news app sorted out.

Poor app

Hawaii news now doesn’t work for iPhone 16pro and iPad since the latest iOS updates.

Show the whole headline

You can only see a few words of the headline, which makes it hard to know if you want to click on the article or not. There is plenty of room to fit the entire headline.
