Can’t forward stories

That need to go back to the old app. Seems all local news channels are using this app and makes me wonder if it’s a 3 headed monster

Hard to follow

The app used to flow nicely but now its all over with ads and small print. Hard to read and headlines are not great.

Whatever happened to local news you could count on

It seems though the Valley news live app is following in the footsteps of apps such as CNN or USA TODAY. If you don't pay for a subscription you don't get news. You would think that an app dedicated to journalism would be able to support providing news when they have so many ads that pop-up. It's not a free press in this country!

Enough of the ads!

Enough of the ads already! Used to be a good news source but the ads and the news stories are ridiculous.

Worst Journalism I’ve known

If it’s not a horrible app that makes you watch ads to get emergency news to keep you safe. It’s the sensationalism of everything.
