Good App But…

This is a good app, I can catch up on events really quick.
But… Like many apps (this one maybe more so than others) I don’t have time to open it and wait 15 seconds to get past another Allegacy ad. I don’t even attempt the videos. I’m going to delete it.

No news only commercials

Can’t get a bit of news only commercials, sorry I don’t have that much patience, GOOD BYE

Videos Do Not Line Up With The Headline

You see a headline, Man leads police’s on 120mph chase. You open the article, you tap the video to be presented with First Alert Weather or Apple Air Tags on your luggage.

Deceptive. Makes me not want to open the app. Read the headline and keep going then look it up on a different news source.

Gas price app sucks!

I want to use the gas price app and it is completely useless. All you get is multiple pages of advertisements and there’s no way to close out the advertisement so you can see the gas prices. Why even have it?

Aging Untold

This is now my favorite TV station!
Thinks happening that I thought I had was just me !
Now I realize it’s not because of this show!! It’s not! It’s anyone who’s getting older. Plus the Sun Down thingy, I didn’t know what was happening to me until I saw your show in!
Thank you!!!
Plus Aging Untold I LOVE!!
