Doesn’t work for live news

I downloaded the app and started up to live news as I was watching it at home. News was running initially, but continue to freeze after a few seconds. Bottom line, it freezes after about two seconds of run time. Not a good app.

Updated

The only issue I have is that there are days where the feed is at least a day behind. Stories from the televised news don’t show for at least 24 hours

Doesn’t Open

App hasn’t worked since update. Doesn’t seem they care about fixing the issue either.

School closings won’t load

The only reason I have this app is for school
Closings. That won’t load on the app currently. I enabled push notifications for this purpose only and it would give breaking news alerts for nothing. The only reason I want to be bothered by this app is for school closings of my selected areas.
