Accessibility issue

If the developer can respond to this, please that would be great. I am blind and I use VoiceOver several weeks ago. This app when I open it, it causes voice over to sputter and the app is not usable. If this can somehow be fixed for iPhone that would be great. Thank you very much. I do really love the app. however, this app is no longer usable in its current state.

Informative app for local breaking news and highly accessible

I use voiceover and this app is incredibly accessible. I want this app to be around for years to come. I love the local breaking news alerts, and the topic alerts as well
